Possible Causes

Failed ice maker module, Frozen fill tube, Ice maker arm or sensor stuck in OFF position, Faulty ice maker water valve section

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water before removing the ice maker.

Steps:

  • Check ice maker power: Ensure the ice maker switch (if present) is ON and the feeler arm is down.
  • Inspect fill tube: Look for ice blockage in the tube above the ice maker. Thaw with warm air if frozen.
  • Manually cycle (if possible): Use the test button on the ice maker (if equipped) to start a cycle. If it does not move, the module is likely bad.
  • Replace ice maker: Install a Sharp-compatible ice maker assembly if it fails to cycle or fill.
