Possible Causes
Failed ice maker solenoid coil on dual/triple valve, broken wire to ice valve coil, control not sending power to ice valve
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off water and disconnect power before testing the valve.
- Step 1 – Confirm dispenser flow: Verify strong water flow from the dispenser to rule out supply issues.
- Step 2 – Access valve: Remove the rear lower panel to access the Fisher & Paykel water inlet valve.
- Step 3 – Test coil: With the valve disconnected, use a multimeter to check continuity of the ice maker solenoid coil. Replace the valve assembly if the coil is open.
- Step 4 – Inspect wiring: Check the harness from the control board to the ice valve for damage.
After replacing the valve, restore power and allow time for the ice maker to cycle and fill.
