Check to see if the tube at the back is iced up. If it is, then water
can't flow to the tray.
A simple way to fix the problem is to
remove the ice bucket and use a turkey baster to spray hot water into
the tube. It may take 15 or 20 minutes to unclog the tube.
Other way if the ice maker will not fill with water :
There are a few things to
check for...one is a ice blockage in the fill spout tube, this is the
hose that caries the water into the freezer section and to the
ice-maker. If the elbow & tube has a ice blockage, it is usually
best to replace the
fill valve
and the shut off valve. A very LARGE problem in the last few years has
been the self piercing shut off valve clogging up with calcium and
junk! Replace the self piercing shut off valve with a drill type shut
off valve. You drill a 1/4" hole into the pipe and install the shut off
valve the same way you would with a self piercing valve. If the fill
spout hose is clear of ice, possible the fill valve has failed. You can
test the fill valve coil several ways,
ohm test
- check coil on fill valve for continuity - no continuity = bad valve,
volt test
- cycle ice-maker and check for 100-110 volts to fill valve....proper
power to the valve and no water usually = bad fill valve. You can also
make up a
test
cord and put 110 volts to the fill valve alone to see if it is
capable of passing water in to a bucket. If the water supply lines are
ok and the fill valve is functioning properly, you probably have a
ice-maker problem and may need a new one. This test cannot be done to
all refrigerators, if any doubt post your full model and serial #'s in
the Q&A section and we will check on this for you.
