Crosley Ice Maker in Refrigerator Compartment Not Working

If the ice maker in your refrigerator compartment is not working, the most likely cause is a problem with the water supply: a faulty water inlet valve or insufficient water pressure (the valve needs about 20 psi to fill the mold). Start by confirming household water pressure and use a multimeter to check for power to the inlet valve; if pressure and power are present but the ice maker still won’t fill, replace the valve. Next likely causes are parts that control ice release: a bad dispenser solenoid or a defective dispenser door motor can keep the door from opening so ice cannot dispense, so test those components for continuity and inspect the actuator pin. If the ice maker isn’t producing because the compartment is too warm, the compartment fan motor may have failed; verify the fan runs when the ice maker should be making ice and test it electrically. Finally, check the funnel guide and any obstructions that could block ice flow.

01 - Crosley 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...e water inlet valve.

02 - Crosley 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.

03 - Crosley Refrigerator Fan 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.

04 - Crosley 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.

05 - Crosley 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.

06 - Crosley 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.
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.
