How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before working on the ice maker.

- 2. Check harness: Inspect the wiring from the ice maker to the door or cabinet for breaks.
- 3. Reset ice maker: Some models have a test/reset button on the ice maker module. Press and hold per manual instructions after restoring power.
- 4. Replace sensor or ice maker: If the sensor is integrated into the ice maker and testing shows failure, replace the entire ice maker assembly.
