Your icemaker is not filling all the way. You're just getting "shells" of ice cubes. It could be a restriction in the line feeding the fridge. It could be a clogged filter. It could also be a valve that's not opening fully. I had an icemaker/water valve where the plungers got "gummy" and kind of stuck to the seats. Replaced and worked great.
Suggestion: Find the fill valve, remove the incoming water line and make sure you're getting a good strong stream of water from the tubing.
If water keeps running after the fill cycle is usually indicates a bad fridge inlet valve. This valve controls the amount of water going into your icemaker. It is found where the water line goes into the fridge, usually in the back of the fridge at the bottom. You would need to cut the power to the fridge, turn off the water supply going into the fridge and remove a panel to get to it. You can check out online what a fridge water inlet valve looks like so you can identify it. It usually has 1-2 water lines going into it and 1-2 wire harnesses attached. You can buy new ones at a appliance parts store or online.
the fridge has an electric solenoid valve to let water in (just like your clothes washer) it is located where the water line goes into your fridge at the bottom in the back find,check, clean or, replace it.
Your water valve is not sealing closed completely and allows drips of water to seep through and freeze inside the fill tube. Either your water valve is bad or you have low water pressure to the fridge. Turn the water supply off, disconnect from the fridge's water valve, and turn supply back on and run it into a bucket. Should be pretty strong flow. If its weak the fridge ain't your problem.
the water valve on the back of the fridge is bad.sediment most likely got in the valve and it isn't seating correctly and water is leaking by.change the valve.
Check for a blocked frozen fill tube at the ice maker. Very common. Make sure you have good water pressure at the water dispensor. If it takes a long time to fill a glass you need to either change your water filter if your fridge has one or make sure your water supply valve located at the other end of the water line is not plugged. If all this checks ok, you may need a new solinoid valve on the refrigerator.
This sounds like a stuck water valve. Un-plug the fridge and see if the water stops flowing to the ice maker. If it stops, it's a control board (if equipped) or ice maker issue.
If not, turn the water off to the fridge, pull the fridge away from the wall, get behind it and trace the water line (small, plastic line) from the back of the fridge going down to the water valve. Remove the cover, and you may need to remove the water solenoid (the water valve) and see what happened.
Hi, The storage is usually on the back fridge wall near bottom. Your answer indicates the demand solenoid is not operating. You will need to check wiring connection at the solenoid, and at the ice maker plug. Best of luck.
