Possible Causes

Water supply to refrigerator turned off, Clogged water filter (if equipped), Failed ice maker module, Defective water inlet valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the water supply to the refrigerator and unplug the unit before servicing the ice maker.

Water supply checks:

  • Verify the household shutoff valve is open.
  • Inspect the supply line for kinks.

Filter and valve:

  • If your Summit model has a water filter, replace it if it is older than 6 months or clogged.
  • Listen for the water valve when the ice maker should fill; if silent, the valve or ice maker control may be faulty.

Ice maker module:

  • Ensure the ice maker arm or switch is in the ON position.
  • Inspect the ice mold for ice; if cubes are present but not ejected, the harvest motor may have failed.

Repair: Replace a defective ice maker assembly or water inlet valve with Summit-compatible parts. If unsure, a technician can test valve coils and ice maker voltage.
