Possible Causes
Defective water inlet valve, Clogged inlet screen, Low household water pressure, Ice maker fill sensor fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing the inlet valve.
Steps:
- Check water pressure: Ensure the household supply provides at least the minimum pressure (typically 20–40 psi). Very low pressure can cause fill errors.
- Inspect inlet line: Look for kinks or crushed sections in the water line to the refrigerator.
- Clean inlet screen: Remove the rear lower panel, locate the water inlet valve, disconnect the supply line, and inspect the small screen filter. Clean gently if clogged.
- Replace valve: If the valve leaks when closed or does not open when energized (technician test), replace the water inlet valve assembly.
- Check ice maker alignment: Ensure the ice maker is level so water flows into the mold and not over the sides.
Note: After repair, monitor the next few ice cycles to confirm proper fill level.
