Possible Causes
Water inlet valve not opening, Frozen fill tube to ice maker, Faulty ice maker motor module, Ice level sensor stuck in full position
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before working on the ice maker or water lines.
Steps:
- 1. Check ice maker switch: Ensure the ice maker is turned on and the bail arm or sensor is not stuck in the off/full position.
- 2. Verify water supply: Confirm water flows to the fridge and that the inlet valve is not clogged. Replace the valve if it does not open when energized.
- 3. Inspect fill tube: Look at the plastic tube that delivers water to the ice maker. If it is frozen, thaw it with warm air (hair dryer on low) and check for slow leaks causing refreezing.
- 4. Ice maker module: If the mold is empty and the motor does not cycle, replace the ice maker assembly with an Ikea-compatible unit.
Tip: After repair, discard the first few batches of ice to ensure clean water flow.
