Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the ice maker and shut off water if disconnecting lines. Unplug the refrigerator before removing the ice maker.
Steps:
- Check power switch: Ensure the ice maker switch is ON or the wire shutoff arm is in the down position.
- Verify water supply: Confirm water is reaching the refrigerator and that the filter is not clogged.
- Inspect fill tube: Check the fill tube above the ice maker for ice blockage. Clear with warm water if frozen.
- Test ice maker: Some Viking ice makers have a test button or jumper points to force a cycle. If it does not cycle, the module is likely bad.
Corrective action: Replace the ice maker assembly if it will not cycle or fill despite good water supply and a clear fill tube. Replace the ice maker fill valve if it does not open during the fill portion of the cycle.
