Several factors could be causing your ice maker to stop functioning. Here are some common issues to check:
Water Filter: If the filter is dirty, clogged, or incorrectly installed, it can prevent water from reaching the ice maker. Most refrigerator water filters should be replaced every six months to ensure proper operation.
Water Inlet Valve: A malfunctioning water inlet valve could stop water from reaching the ice maker. This can happen due to wear and tear or material fatigue.
Freezer Temperature: If the freezer temperature is too low, it can interfere with ice production. Use a thermometer to check and adjust the temperature if necessary.
Ice Maker Switch: Sometimes the ice maker might simply be switched off, especially after installation or movement inside the fridge. Make sure the switch is in the “on” position.
Ice Maker Assembly: A defective component in the ice maker assembly could be the issue. In such cases, the entire assembly may need to be replaced.
Test Cycle: Some ice makers can be reset by running a test cycle. You can do this by pressing and holding the ice cube size adjustment button or the test button for about 10 seconds.
Other Issues: Blocked water fill tubes, a faulty heating element, or a misaligned control arm can also cause problems. It’s worth checking these components if the ice maker still isn’t working.
