No Ice Production
Step 1: Visually inspect icemaker. •
Is the icemaker arm fully lowered to “ON’ position?
If yes, go directly to step 2.
If no, check for free movement of the feeler arm. Remove any ice cubes that may be
keeping the feeler from lowering to the “ON” position.
Is the fill tube frozen or blocked with ice.
If yes, thaw and call Tech Assist for additional instructions. Depending on the model,
they may instruct you to replace the fill tube.
If no, go to step 2.
Step 2: Check for ice in the mold. •
If there is ice in mold, go directly to step 3
If mold is empty, either the icemaker has failed, the voltage to the icemaker is missing
or there’s a problem with the water supply.
Open water valve.
Clogged water valve filter screen.
Water turned off.
Self-piercing water valve clogged.
Unit hooked up to failed Reverse Osmosis system.
If water supply OK, go to step 3.
Step 3: Initiate ice harvest. •
Compact icemaker- advance motor.
Modular Icemaker- jump out the icemaker thermostat by shorting test terminals H to T
thermostat.
Step 4a: If icemaker fails to start, check voltage to icemaker. •
If voltage present, replace icemaker.
If voltage is missing, troubleshoot wiring harness.
Step 4b: If icemaker starts, check for heat at bottom of mold. •
No heat, replace icemaker.
If heat present but the mold is empty, allow icemaker to advance to fill cycle. If the
water valve doesn’t energize, check voltage at water valve.
If no voltage to water valve, check the wire harness. If harness OK, replace the ice-
maker.
If water valve energizes but no water enters the icemaker, troubleshoot the water
supply.
