Ice maker dosenot make ice will make if i fill

One of the most common - and innocent - causes of an ice maker that won't dispense ice is that an ice clump has formed inside. In order to drop the ice cubes from the mold, heat is released to lightly melt them.

Hello Jerry;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service technician.


There are several different ice makers.

Provide you unit model number. This is on a label in the fresh food section on the liner door.

What is going on:

1.) Does ice maker fill with water?
2.) Does the ice maker make sounds.
3.) does the ice maker fill with water, freezes and then does not dump?

Need more information to help you Jerry.

IF THE ICEMAKER IS TURNING AND NOT DUMPING YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE ICEMAKER ***.

Pour about 2/3 cup of water into the ice maker . If it freezes and dumps , then check the fill tube going to the ice maker , to see if it is frozen up inside . If it is , replace the water valve behind the refrig , where the wall water line connects to on the refrig . If the ice maker dumps the cubes , but does not refill with water , then the water valve is bad . If the ice maker does not dump the cubes , then replace the ice maker .

Pour about 2/3 cup of water into the ice maker . Also , check the black fill hose that fill the ice maker , to make sure it is not frozen . If the ice maker dumps the cubes , then replace the water inlet valve . If the ice maker holds the ice , and does not dump , replace the ice maker . When you open the freezer door , the laser light , should blink twice , then pause ,repeatedly . If you close the flap on the left side , the laser should go off . These are indication that the optics are good . If you open the door , and no laser light , then that means that the ice maker is in the harvest (dump) mode . If it stays this way , ice maker is bad .

The water dispenser in the door of my Kenmore side by side will not work. The ice dispenser does work. What do I need to do to fix it?
Thanks Kel

Pour about 1/2 cup of water into ice maker . If it dumps , replace the water valve . If doesn't dump , replace the ice maker . Also make sure the coils are clean of dust , lint , etc...
