Hi there,

Well the problem seems in the Water Inlet Switch, there are two types of ice makers, those in which all of the parts can be individually replaced and those in which some of the parts are clustered together into a control module. To determine which model you have remove the outer face plate. If there is knob, pull it off first, then pry off the face plate with a small screwdriver.  

Modular units have holes in the module's face plate for test probes. If you see several holes, each marked with a letter, it is a modular unit, component units (like the one shown below) usually have exposed gears and don't have holes for test probes.

Thanks

Ice maker not making ice

Sounds like the intake line at the entrance to the refrigerator is plugged with lime residue. It has a needle valve in the center and will clog with foreign material, this can be cleaned out by forcing compressed air pressure backwards thru this connection to remove tiny particles inside.

Waterwell ice maker mod: HZB 15 error code " add water" even though tank is filled

Mine was having the same issue. The trouble-shooting section of the owner's manual mentions cleaning it but doesn't state where it is at. When I contacted Dometic they stated it is in the center of that circular hole in the bottom of the water resovoir, however, they couldn't tell me how to remove it.

Through trial and error, I found that it's just a little basket that fits snugly inside that hole. You DO NOT have to remove the round part that you can see. I used a pair of pliars in an attempt to remove the entire thing and the little basket (looks like a clear plastic thimble) came right out of the center. (If you have good hand strength you can likely just pull it out without using pliars.) I cleaned that off, placed it back into the ice maker and we are back in business. It is making ice as it should now.

Add water light stays on when the reservoir is full

I have the SPT IM-100 Portable Ice Maker. After about 2 months, it stopped, telling me that it needed water, when of course it was full of water. I did alot of digging on the Internet to find a solution. There was none. It finally occurred to me that the water sensor might be calcified with our hard water here in Reno. BINGO!!!! I ran several cycles with lemon juice and vinegar (you pick your favorite non-toxic acid), and the damned thing started up again as if brand new.
