The ice maker filter dont come out

Put some Vaseline on the O-Ring to help it slide into place. Make sure it is properly inserted at the beginning.

If the filter is located inside the refrigerator:

1. Turn off the ice maker.
2. Push the eject button.
3. Pull the filter out of the housing.
4. Push the new filter into the housing until it clicks.
5. Turn on the ice maker.
6. Run 2 gallons of water through the water dispenser to purge air and residue.

How to replace the water filter in a Kenmore Refrigerator

If the ice tray in your Haier refrigerator is stuck and you're unable to release it from the fridge, there could be a few different issues causing the problem. Here are a few things you can try to fix it:

1. Check the ice maker arm: Make sure the ice maker arm is not stuck or broken. If it is, it will need to be repaired or replaced.
2. Check the ice maker mechanism: Make sure the ice maker mechanism is not jammed. If it is, try to unjam it by gently pushing or pulling on the tray.
3. Check the temperature: Make sure the freezer temperature is cold enough for the ice to freeze. If the temperature is too warm, the ice will not freeze properly and may become stuck in the tray.
4. Check the water supply: Make sure the water supply to the fridge is turned on and that the water supply valve is not closed or clogged.
5. Check the water filter: Make sure the water filter is not clogged. If the filter is dirty, replace it with a new one.
6. Gently try to move the ice tray by pushing or pulling, if it still won't come loose, it may be best to contact the manufacturer or a professional for further assistance.

Please note that some models of the refrigerator have a release lever, check the owner's manual to locate it.

there is an inline valve .usually in back at the bottom. However. they usually dont go out. have you replaced the water filter inside? sometimes that can shut it down. Im not an appliance guy so much . but i just recently went thru that very thing. drove me nuts turned out to be filter. good luck

There is a test button underneath of the motor side of the ice maker. Unplug your refrigerator for 5 minutes then push the test button on the ice maker if it doesn't move you need an ice maker if it does move and you still don't get any water the metal tube that supplies the water to the ice maker is frozen up and blocking water from coming into the mold.

You can search with your model number to see if a filter is available or not. Secondly unless the ice maker was damaged for sure it's likely that the fan is not running in that compartment or air is leaking into the refrigerator and making the ice maker think its not cold enough to make ice.

Hi - there are several problems that can cause this - but ultimately, if your freezer is keeping frozen foods frozen, the problem is lack of water flow.

Most automatic ice makers work on a timer. At a regular interval, if the ice maker arm is down to signal a "not full" ice bin, the heater on the bottom of the ice form turns on to break the bond between the ice and the mold. After a short time, the wiper linkage turns to allow the wipers push the individual cubes out of the mold and fall into the bin. After that, the solenoid on the water line is energized that will allow the water to flow to the ice maker to fill the mold, and then shuts off.

The water may pass through the filter inside your fridge (if equipped) and the filter may be clogged (if you can dispense water from your fridge and it works - this not likely to be the problem). Some fridges require a filter to be present - other will work without a filter - but none will work with a clogged (or frozen) filter. Make sure the fresh food compartment of the fridge is not freezing the filter.

Most of the ice maker functions are silent - except for the sounds of the ice dropping into the bin, and in some cases, the "snapping" or "clicking" of the water solenoid turning on and off (coupled with the sound of water running).

See if you can hear this happening. If you do, the problem could the either the flexible water line or the point of the water line attachment to the cold water pipe in the house. If you moved the fridge out for any reason, it is possible that the water line has been kinked or crushed when the fridge was moved back into position. If it has been undisturbed, it may be related to the valve that supplies water to the fridge. Sometimes, a clamp-on pipe piercing valve is used to connect the smaller fridge water line to the cold water pipe in the house. It is not unusual for these to give trouble after several years - particularly in areas with "hard" water. It may be worthwhile to replace this if it has been installed for some time.

Lastly, it may be the ice maker itself. It has heaters, switches and motors - any of which can fail and cause trouble. You could pour water into the the maker with a watering can or similar and let it make ice as normal. If ice is never dropped into the bin, then something on or cabling to the maker itself has failed and will likely require professional service or replacement as an assembly.

These should get you going and may pinpoint the issue - good luck!

The temperature in the freezer has to get down to around 6 degrees. If the temperature is correct than remove cover on ice maker and see if it is moving, I may take a few minutes to actually see it move. It sounds like the filter problem may have damaged the inlet valve or ice maker or even possible both. Check to see if Ice maker still cycles. You can also check to see if the inlet valve is good by switching the hoses from water dispenser and ice maker. Press the water dispencer for a few seconds and see if it sends water into the ice maker. Any further assistance please contact me back.

arm could be stuck help it along by pushing on the arm to move ice. some times a small ice will stick the arm

By manually moving the ejector blades you have now broken the ice maker module. (The brain and the motor of the icemaker). Kitchenaid had a batch of thermostats that arent working properly in these Indoor ice makers. I reccommend getting an entire new IDIM icemaker. You will have the improved module whith stronger gears (however you still cannot manually move them) and the improved thermostat.

do you hear the little click of the switch when you push the paddle?? Its likely that the microswitch had broken from its plastic mounts. Pretty common on this refrig. ill need the model # to be sure what kind it is.
