The first thing to check is the water inlet valve. If the water inlet valve is good you may need to repalce the ice maker assembly

Ice maker not working

Hi, I have a similar problem on my Samsung fridge. It could be the faulty of the Ice Maker unit, more particularly on the heating element. To be sure the ice maker unit is faulty, I suggest disconnect/remove the ice maker unit and do the continuity test of the heating element to make sure it's 100% faulty before replacing the ice maker unit.

please note some heating elements are replaceable, and some are attached to the ice maker unit that means you need to replace the whole ice maker unit.

hope that help

Ice maker is slow to make ice. It dumps sometimes. it builds a large mountain of forzen ice that mounds up under the tray. even though we remove it it always comes back. ice is also runnig down the...

Ice maker problems are almost always a problem. Sometimes I will locate an issue and fix it and then it will work for a short period and then break again. So, now I just replace the ice maker as a general rule. This is much more likely for success. However, the replacement ice maker is often not an exact match. And again, the this and the that sometimes causes problems. I will never accept a new customer on the grounds that I am going to fix their home ice maker. Make sure the ice machine is getter water like it is supposed to. Check the filter and the tubes. If the problem persists, get a new ice maker. If that ice maker angers you, get some ice cube trays.

I have checked the valves, the inlet, the temperature, and there is no off switch that I can locate for my ice maker. The unit is only a few years old, I replaced the filter and yesterday I emptied the ice...

Try to remove the ice bucket and replace it. Make sure the ice maker is completely in the "Up" position. Make sure that the water line is not crimped. Remove and replace the filter again. I hope this helps and solves the problem. Please let us know if we helped you and have a great evening.

My ice maker gets cold but will not make ice

I assume you have a good water supply ti the unit.

An internal switch of thermostat may have failed inside the ice maker head unit.

A good repair shop should be able to fix it.
If the unit is several years old it may be best to replace the icemaker.

Make sure they are factory authorised to fix uline products.

Water does not shut off in ice-maker immediately

maybe but check the icemaker to see if the fill switch is working and the timer might be off. In an old unit it is sometimes better to replace it than put a bunch of time and money into it they are not bad priced these days

Ice maker is dumping ice but arm is not fully going all the way down

Is your Ice bin filling up too much? Frigdaire did have problems with there ice makers, and I belive the new ones come with a arm extention. Your one of the lucky one's and your icemaker still makes ice! I dont know how old your unit is but they were replaceing icemakers under a factory warrenty. I could be wrong but I think they were doing it up to a 5 year old unit.
