Check to see whether the ice maker has been turned off. Here's how to check. Look for a wire along the right side of the ice maker that looks a bit like a coat hanger. If this wire is in the raised position, the ice maker is turned off. On some units you simply lower the wire to the down position to turn the ice maker on. On others, you lower a small red plastic lever to lower the wire. If the wire is in the proper position check the freezer temperature, it should be between 0-8 degrees Fahranheit. If it is warmer than 10-12 degrees, the ice maker may not produce any ice. Check your door seals and thermostat, repair/replace as necessary.

Water and ice dispenser does not work---the switch clicks when you press it but there is not response, also the ice maker just quit working

Three things could be wrong:
Solenoid switch where the water comes into the unit has gone, this control the flow of water into both the ice maker and the water dispenser.
If the switch is good and then you need to check your filters, sometimes inside the door top right. or on one of the corners on the bottom front.. You should be able to unscrew them with you hands.. make sure water is off behind unit or where ever your shut off is at.
One last thing.. check for kinks in the water line behind the unit if it was pulled out lately.

There should be a plastice hinge cover on the left top hinge on freezer door. Take it off and press the plug together firmly. Try that and let me know, Sea Breeze

Ice maker stopped working, though the water spigot still works from the door dispenser. How do I troubleshoot this problem?

On the back and near the floor there is a water control valve. One side controls water to the dispenser and the other is for the ice maker. Need to test the one that goes to ice maker first by checking the solenoid coil with an ohm meter or put household voltage to it and it should open and send water up to ice maker. If not there then check the pipe coming into freezer from outside for freezing water in pipe. We will go further when you are ready. Let me know when you are able to do these things, I will be here, Thanks, Sea Breeze

In door ice dispenser does not work but the water dispenser does.

check to make sure there is water or ice in your ice maker tray. If none then problem is usually a water supply issue to the ice maker. Behind the frig are the water supply inlet valves. One is for the water dispenser in the door. THe other is for the ice maker. However when one goes bad they both are replaced as one unit. Also Check position of fingers in ice maker. If not in a vertical position then try to reset the ice maker unit and worse comes to worse, replace it with a new one.

No water

I was having the same problem.  I was told that the water line in the door is frozen.  I was told to open up the door and take everything off door and put towels in front and around the ice maker and the rest of the freezer to keep the cold in and  leave my door open and tape the light switch so it would turn off.  Then keep the door open, for 1-2 hours, I checked it in 1 and it still did not work so I continued for another and it now works just fine.  My ice maker was working but the water was not coming out of the dispenser.

Frigidair frs22zrf side by side w/ front ice and water

From what you are describing, it sounds like you need a valve. Another common thing I run into is the cooling tank inside the fridge freezing. This will usually affect water through the door only. Remove the crispers and you should see a large coil of plastic water line attached to the back wall of fridge. You can check to see if it is frozen by blowing through it from the end of the line you removed from valve. BEWARE, if you blow through it, water will come out dispenser if line is not frozen. Have a towel at front of fridge.
