Possible Causes

Ice maker turned off, Failed ice maker module, Clogged ice maker fill tube with ice, Faulty water inlet valve ice side

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water if disconnecting lines.

Basic checks:

  • Ensure the ice maker power switch or arm is in the ON position.
  • Verify the freezer temperature is 0–5°F; warmer temperatures slow or stop ice production.
  • Inspect fill tube: Check the plastic fill tube above the ice maker for ice blockage. Clear with warm water if frozen.
  • Test ice maker: Use the test button (if present) to initiate a cycle. If it does not move, the module may be faulty.
  • Check water valve: If the ice maker cycles but does not fill, the ice side of the dual water inlet valve may be bad. Replace the Insignia dual water inlet valve.
  • Replace ice maker: If the module does not cycle at all, replace the Insignia ice maker assembly.

Note: Allow 24 hours after repair for full ice production to resume.
