Possible Causes

Water supply valve closed, Blocked or frozen water inlet tube, Faulty water inlet valve, Ice maker motor or sensor failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the water supply and unplug the fridge before working on the ice maker or water lines.

Check water supply:

  • Ensure the external water tap feeding the fridge is open.
  • Inspect the water hose for kinks or damage.

Inspect inlet tube:

  • Check the plastic tube entering the ice maker for ice blockage.
  • If frozen, defrost by turning off the fridge and gently warming the tube with a cloth soaked in warm water.

Test inlet valve:

  • Locate the water inlet valve at the rear bottom of the fridge.
  • Check for leaks or damage.
  • If the valve does not open when the ice maker calls for water (requires live testing by a professional), replace it with a Finlux-compatible valve.

Ice maker module: If water supply is good but no ice is produced, the ice maker assembly (motor, mold heater, or sensor) may be faulty and should be replaced as a complete Finlux ice maker unit.
