I had the same problem. my freezer was set too cold so the water inlet was freezing. what I did was blew a hairdryer into the ice making section for a couple minutes, this seemed to melt the block, then tested that it was clear by forcing the ice tray through a cycle. you then need to set your freezer warmer - I find setting it 2 bars from the warmest setting keeps stuff frozen and the ice coming :) hope this helps!!

    I managed to fix the wire problem myself...I just pulled the sensor out, stripped back about 1cm of the plastic wire coating on both wires and twisted them together, popped some electrical tape around it, slotted the sensor back in place and it now works like a dream!!! let me know how you go!!

Whirlpool ice maker not working

Ice makers are some of the most worked part of a refrigerator and have about a five year lifespan. There are just too many things that can go wrong that can stop the ice making process. To explain the process of a Whirlpool ice maker I am going to post a Whirlpool Ice Maker Troubling pdf and a short YouTube Icemaker Repair toutorial. If you have any questions I will be here to assist you, Thanks Sea Breeze

My 3mth old e522brxu fisher and paykel ice maker has stopped working water is working fine you can manually force a dump and hear the cycle start to turn the tray but no water fills the tray can not hear a...

Hi, For the benefit of anyone doing a Google search for it (which is likely anyone with a Fisher and Paykel fridge w/icemaker) the broken wire is a notorious design flaw, and if you see it dangling from your ice tray - symptom is no ice being made -

You must remove the clip underneath the ice tray, and a little foam pad with it. There you will see the broken wire attached to a little black sensor. It's a little fiddly to do in place, but after unplugging the fridge (unless you like a good electric jolt) you need to splice the wire and reattach it. Your ice maker should resume working as intended.

Hope that helped.

Good luck.

I have a Fisher & Paykel Refrigerator. The ice cube maker has stopped working and the 'force cycle' does not make the ice cube tray 'flip'. Any ideas?

Hi! The refrigerator has dual valve with two coils at the back and the ice side may have gone bad thats why it doesnt make ice. YOu will have to have it replaced to get your fridge back to its normal working condition. Hope this helps and have a good one!

Lower the freezer temp. The icemaker won't come on until the temp is low enough.
