RCA ice maker water pump runs loudly but no water reaches the evaporator plate.

Safety first: Unplug the unit and drain the reservoir.

• Step 1 – Clean pump inlet: Remove the pump and clean any debris from the inlet screen.
• Step 2 – Inspect hoses: Check all hoses from the pump to the evaporator tray for kinks or blockages. Flush them with warm water if needed.
• Step 3 – Descale tray: Soak the water distribution tray in vinegar to dissolve mineral deposits, then rinse thoroughly.
• Step 4 – Refill and bleed air: Reassemble, fill the reservoir, and tilt the unit slightly to help remove trapped air from the pump line. Run a cycle and confirm water flow.
