Ice maker has ice in it but will not dump in bin!

The laser , is supposed to blink . This laser , tells the icemaker to stop making ice , when the bin is full . Pour about 2/3 cup of water into the icemaker . If it doesn't dump the cubes into the bin , the icemaker is bad . Or , if there is ice in the bin , which hasn't dumped , the icemaker is bad . If the icemaker dumps the ice ( from water pour ) , then look above the fill cup , and see if the black fill tube is frozen . If so , then replace the water valve and turn the freezer temp down slightly . It will take several days for this fill line inside freezer to thaw . If icemaker dumps , and black tube NOT frozen , replace the water valve . The valve , is where the wall water line connects to on the refrig .

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...

first if you take off that panel there is a circuit board . unlpug the board and put it back to gether if that dont work then replace it... i sometimes get away with both! i can also get you that part pretty cheap... here is my site. grab the number and give me a call thanks.

Found out we still had a warranty/service contract on it. Contacted SEARs and I explained problem to technician. Scheduled house call is Friday.

Hi,

Press and hold the flapper in dont block the optics there is a light beam that goes across and you will see a u shaped notch in your ice bin on the door this determins when the bin is full when the beam is blocked it thinks the bin is full ..After pressing and holding the flapper in what does the red light do keep blinking ?? if so how many time before there is a pause and repetes if it stays on solid i need to know that too

Are you able to see if you can push a Q-tip or something up the fill tube line to see if it's frozen up inside there. It happens on certain units. You may need to take the Ice Maker out (easy) to get to the fill tube.
