Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off the water supply and unplug the appliance before working on the ice system.
Steps:
- Check water supply: Ensure the tap feeding the fridge is open and the hose is not kinked.
- Inspect fill tube: Look at the plastic tube that feeds water into the ice maker. If iced over, defrost it with warm air (hairdryer on low) and check for underlying temperature issues.
- Test water valve: Listen for the valve when the ice maker calls for water. If silent and no water flows, the valve may be faulty.
- Check ice maker arm: Ensure the ice maker's shut-off arm or sensor is not stuck in the off position.
- Replace faulty parts: Replace the water inlet valve or ice maker module as needed.
