Possible Causes
Failed ice maker side of dual inlet valve, Frozen ice maker fill tube, Faulty ice maker control not sending fill signal, Disconnected water line to ice maker
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water before disconnecting lines.
Steps:
- Check fill tube: Inspect the fill tube above the ice maker for ice blockage. Thaw gently with a hair dryer on low.
- Inspect water line connection: At the rear, verify the small water line feeding the ice maker is connected securely to the inlet valve and not kinked.
- Test inlet valve (advanced): Using a multimeter, check resistance of the ice maker valve coil. If open or out of spec, replace the dual water inlet valve.
- Run ice maker test: Press the Test button. If the tray cycles but no water enters and the valve is good, the ice maker control may be faulty and the assembly should be replaced.
