Decription

This ice maker on this side by side refrigerator was not working do to a water problem. I found this out by looking to see if there was any water in the ice maker mold. I found none so suspected a water problem. I like to look or feel the water line where the water comes into the ice maker and look for ice. If i see ice I’m automatically looking at a weeping water valve. If you have a newer model I would look into replacing the filter first to see if that will take care of it. On this older model i was not even thinking about it because I have seen so many.

Water valve is the issue. We go ahead and replace the water valve. W10408179, pretty easy to do. Once that is replace we have to clear that ice and i have a good tip in the video for you on how to clear that ice. Once ice is cleared we need to cycle the ice maker and have it fill to make sure we have cleared out all the ice. It may work if you just leave it alone from there but as a technician I like to know if it’s fixed right then and there.

To cycle the ice maker you need to unplug the unit. Take the cover off to the ice maker and jump between the t/h holes to start it. Now there is no power not the unit. You plug the unit back in and make sure the door switch are shut and the emitter receiver are seeing each other. If door is open and the emitter receiver think the tub is full it will not send power to the ice maker. Once that is good plug the unit back in and within a few seconds the ice maker should power back on and it starts to cycle. Take the jumper wire out and put the cover back on and reinstall the ice maker. Once it is in. You simply wait for the ice maker to make its round. If it fills at the end you job here is done. Put anything you took off back on and happy cold water or iced teas you can enjoy now.
