Common solutions for: Refrigerator ice maker not working

01 - Freezer Temperature is Above 10 Degrees F (-12C)

If the freezer temperature is above 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 Celsius), the ice maker will not produce ice cubes efficiently. The freezer temperature should be set between 0 and 5 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 to -15 Celsius) for the ice maker to work properly.

03 - 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.

Common

04 - Confirm icemaker is On

Make sure the icemaker is turned on and the arm or paddle is able to move freely. On in-door ice-dispensing models, with the door open make sure the indicator light stays on steadily when the ice dispenser flap and door switch are pressed.

Common

05 - Frozen fill tube on ice maker

Low water pressure or a defective water inlet valve can cause the ice maker's fill tube to become clogged with ice, preventing water from entering the ice maker tray. You can unplug the refrigerator to manually defrost in order to thaw out the frozen fill tube, but you should confirm there is strong water pressure at the kitchen faucet and be aware that the water inlet valve may not be functioning properly.

Common

06 - Dispenser door stuck open

If the dispenser door is stuck open, warm air can enter the ice maker compartment causing frost buildup and potentially stopping the ice maker. Remove any items that may be keeping the dispenser door from closing.

Common

07 - Door Switch

The door switch turns off the ice and water dispenser when the refrigerator door is open. If the door switch fails, the dispenser will not turn on. To determine if the door switch is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the door switch does not have continuity when activated, replace it.

08 - Power reset

After a power surge or power outage, refrigerator ice maker operation could be temporarily affected. Full operation can sometimes be restored through a power reset by either unplugging the appliance's power cord for a few minutes and then plugging it back in or switching off the circuit breaker for the refrigerator then switching it back on.

Common

09 - Wire Harness

A wire harness sends power between the electrical components and the control board or other components. If a wire harness becomes damaged, certain components may not receive the proper power or signals. Check the appropriate wire harnesses for breaks or loose connections. A damaged wire harness will need to be replaced.
