Possible Causes

Ice maker function still disabled in settings, Air in water line after reconnection, Control board not exiting standby, Frozen fill tube after long shutdown

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No internal high-voltage work is required for basic checks.

  • Enable ice maker: Use the control panel to ensure the ice maker is switched on and not in any energy-saving or vacation mode.
  • Prime water line: If possible, run water through the line or dispenser to purge air.
  • Power reset: Disconnect power for 5 minutes, then restore to force a fresh initialization.
  • Check fill tube: Inspect the fill tube for ice blockage and defrost gently if needed.

Note: Allow several hours for the first batch of ice after reactivation.
