Start by checking out this manual on your machine. After that, get back to me and we can go from there.

Is your circulating fan working?
Sometimes they stick and need a shot of WD 40 and then work
it back and forth a little until it wants to take off again. Keep me informed
and PLEASE give a Thumbs Up for the effort. The Raz Shack

Hello. The symptoms you describe indicate that an interior cleaning is in order:

The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the bin before the ice maker is

used for the first time and reused after stopping for an extended period of time. It is

usually convenient to sanitize the bin after the ice making system has been cleaned and

the storage bin is empty.

1. Disconnect power to the unit.

2. Open the door and with a clean cloth, wipe down the interior with a sanitizing

solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach or chlorine and 2 gallons of hot water

(95? to 115?F).

3. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. The waste water will be drained off through the

drainpipe.
4. Reconnect power to the unit.

Here is the owner manual in case you do not have one:

Hello

Ice may jam up in an ice dam and close off the chute. Shove the ice scoop up into the chute with a fair amount of force to break up the ice dam. Chunks of ice should fall into the bin, followed by a shower of ice cubes.

Hi jerisaab,

If the unit won't produce ice, it is often caused by a bad water supply to the unit or a bad water valve on the unit. The easiest way to correct this is by disconnecting the water supply. Now if you have a strong water supply coming from the water line then replace the water valve, if not then replace the water line. You may also check if the circulating fan is working. If they stuck, use a WD 40 then work it back and forth a little.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.
