Possible Causes

Closed or kinked water supply line, clogged inlet valve screen, failed water inlet valve coil, defective water level sensor not calling for fill

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and shut off the water supply before disconnecting any hoses.

Steps:

  • 1. Verify water supply: Confirm the shutoff valve is open and the supply line is not kinked behind the unit.
  • 2. Check for leaks or kinks: Inspect the entire length of the water line from the house connection to the ice maker inlet.
  • 3. Clean inlet screen: Disconnect the water line at the inlet valve and clean any debris from the valve screen.
  • 4. Test inlet valve: With power disconnected, measure coil resistance. Replace the valve if the coil is open or if it hums but does not open when energized.
  • 5. Inspect water level sensor: Ensure the reservoir float or electronic sensor is not stuck in the 'full' position. Clean mineral buildup and verify free movement.
