Possible Causes

Water supply turned off or low pressure, Frozen fill tube, Faulty water inlet valve, Failed ice maker module

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.
