Ice maker that won't make ice. I poured hot water into ice tray it produced ice and despend it into storge bin, so I think, the ice maker is OK, it's the water not getting into the ice tray. I checked water supply,water is getting to the refrige input value. The tempature setting was set at 8, I lowered to 5 yesterday. Also the outside freezer wall/bottom . That area between the freezer and refrige is hot to the touch.How can I check the water flow system? If I were to change the ice maker unit, would that correct the water problem? or what to you think I should do? Don
I think you have a bad doul water inlet valve . One coil works the water dispensor , and the other , works the icemaker . If the icemaker dumps the cubes , then the water valve is bad . If it did not dump the cubes , then the icemaker is bad , but , it did dump , so replace the water inlet valve . ( the piece that is on the bottom right of the compressor compartment , or the piece which the icemaker line runs down to , behind the refrig .
Try swapping the wires on the dual water inlet valve. Then
try the water dispenser. The water should go to the ice maker. This will tell
you weather or not the ice maker valve is working and if the line is clear.
The water inlet valve on the back of unit opens when the ice
maker needs water. If the valve doesn't seal good because of sediment or wear
it will continue to drip and when the water reaches the ice maker supply tube
it will freeze. You can take the water
line off the valve and watch to see if it drips.

I'm sorry, the refrige fixed it's self after I lowered the temp setting. The hot water and/or setting must have melted the blockage. I didn't reallize that my request when in, I didn't fill out the payment section because you don't have paypal. I assumed I didn't complete the proess.
