Is your Ice Maker in your Freezer Not Making Ice?
1. Freezer Temp is too Warm: Needs to be between 0-5 degrees. If it is staying higher than that there most likely is an issue with something more complicated. If the temperature is not low enough to freeze the ice, many freezers use the cold from the freezer to create the ice and does not have its own temp. supply. (Did you know a low food load in the freezer can affect the production of ice. More food in the freezer allows temperatures to remain more stable. Ice makers are built to turn off if the freezer reaches too high of a temp.
2. Shutoff Arm or Shutoff Switch is out of Position – Simple check but could easily be the cause.
a. Turned on, Connector is plugged in, ice panel is clear and not blocked.
3. Clogged Water Filter – If not maintained this can stop water flow. You can usually purchase a new filter for between $30- $50. This should be changed out approx. every 6 months. If you have hard water you may want to change it even more often. (If there is a lot of new construction in your area, there can be more sediment entering the water system. This extra sediment can clog filter more frequently)
4. Frozen Water Supply Tube. – This is a small little fill tube. Usually caused by lack of water pressure. This can also be defrosted with a hair dryer. Once line is thawed you can restore power and turn it back on. You should be able to hear water running into the ice maker. If you don’t or water is discolored a technician will need to be called.
5. Water Supply Line – clogged, kinked, or broken water inlet house and valve. (unplug the refrigerator and turn off the valve’s water supply. Unhook the supply line from the fridge and point it into a sink or bucket and turn the water supply back on to make sure water is flowing) Check the filter at the point of entry into your fridge to make sure there is nothing clogging the line.
6. Faulty Door Switch – Icemaker is usually controlled by a door switch, which also controls the lights. If the lights don’t go on when you open the door, the switch may not be working properly.
7. You see ice in the ice maker but it won’t come out: This many times is the cause of a few ice cubes have refrozen in the ice chute causing it to block. Usually taking a long spoon and jabbing at the ice will cause it to dislodge.
Bonus Tips:
• If refrigerator has recently been installed please wait at least 24 hours for it to stabilize and begin ice production.
• Once Ice production has begun it may take up to 48 hours to fill the ice bucket.
• You can always try a hard reset of the icemaker. Use the procedure recommended by the refrigerator’s manufacturer.
