Amana French Door Bottom Freezer Refrigerator making noise but not making ice

hello sir,,

If your ice maker has stopped producing ice completely, check these, in this order:

It may be turned off. Look for the wire along the right side of the ice maker that looks a bit like a coat hanger. If the wire is in the raised position, the ice maker is turned off. If so, try one of these:





If your ice maker has a small red plastic lever, lower it to lower the wire.



If there's no plastic lever, simply lower the wire.


In either case, the ice maker should begin producing ice again. Also make sure that the temperature is 8 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. If the freezer is too warm, the ice maker won't cycle properly.



The ice maker fill tube may be blocked with ice. If so, melt the blockage using a hair dryer-but be careful to not melt any plastic parts! Also replace the water shut-off valve or water-inlet valve, or both, if necessary.



The ice maker head assembly may have broken parts. Look to see if the gears are broken. Check to see if the small plastic arms that rest against the ice rake are broken. If the ice maker head assembly is modular and you've found broken parts, you can just replace it.

if you see ice cubes inside the icemaker, but the icemaker cannot dump them out, then the heater in the icemaker is not coming on to release the cubes. this will also require a service call. if you see ice cubes inside the icemaker, but the icemaker cannot dump them out, then the heater in the icemaker is not coming on to release the cubes. this will also require a service call.

If the ice maker has completely stopped producing ice


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.



If any of the above checks in working order, it might be time to call a service tech.



Good Luck.

Take out the water filter and make sure it's inserted properly. If you have a water dispensor on the front of the unit make sure water comes out there before taking the filter out. Once you take the filter out make sure there is nothing obstructing the flow of water. If you have the old filter put it back in and see if the problem corrects itself.

You'll want to pull the icemaker. Start by disconnecting the wires and then remove the screws holding it in. Check the gears that make the ice maker ams turn. Make sure all the teeth are still on the gears and that there is nothing obstructing them from moving.
