Roper Ice Maker in Refrigerator Compartment Not Working
If your Roper refrigerator ice maker in the refrigerator compartment is not making ice or the ice dispenser is not working, the most likely culprit is the water inlet valve: low water pressure or a failed valve will prevent the mold from filling (the valve needs about 20 psi and should be checked for power with a multimeter). Next, the dispenser solenoid or dispenser door motor can fail to open the door flap that releases ice, so test those coils for continuity and make sure the actuator pin moves freely. A failed compartment fan motor is another common cause because warm air will stop ice production, so confirm the fan runs and test it for continuity. Finally, check the dispenser funnel guide for obstructions or damage that will block ice from dispensing. These checks cover the usual reasons a refrigerator is not making ice or the ice dispenser not working; enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part and step-by-step parts you need for your repair.
01 - Roper Refrigerator Motor
The refrigerator ice maker compartment fan motor assists in keeping the air temperature in the compartment cold enough for the ice maker to make ice. If the fan motor has failed and isn't running, the temperature will rise high enough that the ice maker will be unable to make ice. The fan motor can be inspected to see if it's running when the ice maker should be working. The component can also be tested for electrical continuity to help determine if it's faulty. A faulty fan motor will need to be replaced.

03 - Roper Refrigerator Dispenser Funnel Guide
The dispenser funnel guide is the component that allows the ice from the ice maker to be properly dispensed. If the guide is obstructed or broken, the ice may not dispense as expected. Inspect the funnel guide or any obstruction or damage and replace if necessary.

04 - Roper Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve is an electrically-controlled valve that opens to supply water to the dispenser and ice maker. If the water inlet valve is defective, or if it has insufficient pressure, it won’t allow water to flow through. As a result, the ice maker won’t make ice. The valve requires at least 20 psi to function properly. Make sure that the water pressure to the valve is at least 20 psi. If the water pressure is sufficient, use a multimeter to check for power to the water inlet valve. If the water inlet valve has sufficient pressure and is getting power, but the ice maker won’t fill with water to make ice, replace th...
Common
05 - Roper Refrigerator Dispenser Door Motor
The dispenser door motor opens and closes the dispenser door to prevent cold air from escaping the refrigerator. If the dispenser door motor is defective, the dispenser door won’t open. As a result, the dispenser will not dispense ice. To determine if the motor is defective, first determine if the motor is getting power. If the motor is getting power, but it won’t run, replace it. You can use a multimeter to test the motor for continuity. If the dispenser door motor does not have continuity, replace it.
Common
06 - Roper Refrigerator Dispenser Solenoid
The dispenser solenoid opens a door flap to release the ice and then closes the door flap once the dispenser finishes dispensing ice. If the dispenser solenoid is defective, the dispenser door won’t open. To determine if the dispenser door solenoid is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. In addition, check the dispenser actuator pin to ensure that it moves freely. If the dispenser door solenoid does not have continuity, or if the actuator pin does not move freely, replace the dispenser solenoid.
Common
07 - Low Water Pressure from House Supply
The home may have insufficient water pressure. The water inlet valve supplies water to the ice maker and must have strong water pressure to work properly. You can check the water flow at the kitchen faucet to help determine if the home's water pressure is sufficient or not.
