I need to thaw the ice that is in my ice maker (Kenmore Elite, 106.56709500), how do I do this? Can I just remove it?

Ice maker stopped making/dropping ice. Had a piece stuck in the 'teeth' used to push ice out of tray. Removed it, has not made ice since. Manually filled the ice tray, it froze, would not **** it into the bucket. Need to remove it so I can thaw and reset the whole unit. I have turned off power to the ice maker, to the refrigerator and unplugged it. None of these has reset the unit.

Just get a new ice maker on cheap on ebay since the heating element (for ice removal) on tray will cost more than a new maker!

You did remember to turn it back on? Mine has a handle that detects when the tray is full and you flip it up to turn it off and down to turn it on. Good Luck

make sure the ice maker is turned on, push and hold the little round button on the front for 15 seconda and see if it starts up an cycles. Also check to make sure the fill tube isn't clogged to the ice maker and another thing to check is the water valve.

Hi caleycatz,
It sounds like you are in need of a motor module for your icemaker. This is the motor and gear that drives the icemaker prongs. The part number is
W10190935 The price is $77.59 and $6.00 shipping
I can have one of these at your door in 1-2 days, so let me know if you need one. We take Visa Mastercard and Discover. Or you can order from sears for the same price and wait 10 days.
Good luck to you and I really hope this will FixYa. Please take the time to rate me. Thanks

If your water valve is good and your filter is not in need of replacing then you probable need a new icemaker, yes.

Why is my icemaker not working on Sears Kenmore 50562991

Two of my refrigerators stopped making ice because of frozen water lines going to the ice maker inside of the freezer door. I thawed the lines by unplugging the refrigerator and used a hair drier around the ice maker till all the frost was gone. After I plugged it in I heard water going to the ice maker. If you remove the ice bin you can check the ice tray to see if it has ice in it. If it is empty it is not getting water. It could also be a bad Solenoid Water Valve.

Ice maker hasn't worked in years. A couple of days ago food below the ice maker was thawed. Today I felt that the ice maker was hot to the touch. Is there anyway to disengage the power to the ice make

Yes you will need to take the screws that mount the Ice maker to the side of the freezer and unplug the cable plug that is hidden behind the back of ice maker. The only time that element is needed to become hot is the moments before the ice maker drops ice. Thanks, Sea Breeze

Control pad reads ER IF

er if means the ice fan is not running. it blows freezing air into the ice maker compartment from the freezer. unplug the refer for 24. these are susceptible to frost or ice forming in the blade of the fan and prevents it from spinning. unplugging it will let it thaw. ice is a big problem with this model.

Problem with ice maker

With your limited input , all I can do is suggest some things for you to try..
First off, are you sure you have water coming to the back of the fridge? No water, no ice. Secondly, Can you gain access to the ice tray inside the ice maker to see if it is frozen with excess water ? If it is, you may need to thaw it out to free it up to allow it to cycle. If no ice buildup is found....
Can you tell if the icemaker is actually cycling? If you listen, you can here the inlet valve open to let water in and then you should hear the motor that rotates the mold tray operate ( may take between 10 - 20 minutes so be patient) If you don't hear any motor activity duing this time.... You may have a defectice ice maker assembly and may need to replace it. Hope that helps...

Broken Ice Machine

check the fill cup on the back of the ice maker if it is full of ice then thaw it out, if it has ice in the fill cup no water can get into the ice maker cavity
