Ice maker My ice maker is not working, the water in the door works fine. i have replaced the filer and it still doesnt work. is there a reset button, do i need to check the lines? how could i do that?

It might be low water pressure or the water filer or the valve has gone bad is faulty for your ice maker in your fridge.It

Either valve solenoid supplying water to ice maker is bad, or supply tube to ice maker is frozen(which is typically caused by leaky water valve), or ice maker is bad.

Hello Rhonda Cornett,

Okay... water at the wall is connected... good...
but now you have TWO solenoids at the ENTRY POINT...

It would have been nice to know if there is water in the tray...
or if it EVER WORKED... but whatever.

If you are NOT getting water in the ICE TRAY...
you need to check that wire is connected to ITS OWN SOLENOID... (ELSE: solenoid might be bad)...

You might be able to TEMPORARILY REVERSE the water valves
to see if the door service still works with the SUSPECT VALVE..

Still works ... Ice maker trouble...
Fails solenoid trouble (bad valve) replace!

Then restore EVERYTHING... (take pictures ahead of tampering).

That click (or thump) you hear whenever you fill your water glass.

Every ice-maker I've ever tampered with has an on/off switch..

Fill controls... and firmness settings of some sort...
Check'em all out before getting DRASTIC.

Ice not being dumped out because the heating element designed to slightly melt ice so arms can push it out is non functional and needs replacement. Cheaper and better to replace entire unit at nominal cost.

Check for 120 V at valve when it is supposed to be filling

replace the ice maker if the reset button has not done any good

No button to push. It sounds like the solenoid valve which opens to fill the ice tray is not working. Not getting power, stuck, faulty.

If there is a reset button on your ice maker try pushing it. Many ice makers have two holes for reset. A general rule of thumb is if the ice maker fingers are stopped in a slightly vertical position then your ice maker unit is working. If the fingers are stopped anywhere else then it needs some sort of attention or replaced. Make sure there is water, or ice in the ice maker tray, if not then the problem is with water supply.

is there water in the ice trays?if not try pushing the test button normally underneath the unit. possibly it will initiate a reset and start working. sometimes a limit is not activated when it should be.

How do you know when you need a filer
