Ice maker problem---any ideas?

I have a side by side fridge. The water dispenser is working fine, so there is water going into the fridge, the ice maker however isn't making ice.The metal lever is down, so it's not that.

Any ideas?

 

Mutt hacked it.

 

Check the flux capacitor

 

Sounds like the ice maker isn't working

 

I'm old school, I make my own ice. Ice trays FTW!

 

Is your freezer and frig at the normal temp? You may have a heating element in the freezer going out so the coils aren't being defrosted so the freezer is not cold enough to create ice. Can you feel water in the ice trays?

 

---there isn't what I see as an ice tray, it's a big trough looking kind of thing

 

is there a jam of any kind? i dunno what kind of fridge you have but could the water supply line have become disconnected? i'm just spit-balling here. i had the motor that runs the whole thing go out and need to be replaced. maybe there's a warranty? hope that helps.

 

the water is getting in because I am getting water through the unit, it's just not turning the water into ice.

 

Is there water in that?

 

My fridge is only about 5 years old and sometimes the plastic rollers that push out the ice get stuck/frozen. What I do is take my hand and push them down (not hard) you dont want to break it, but just break it free from the ice. You should here a slight click of the ice breaking. Then put the bar down and see if you hear the trays filling and hopefully you will hear the ice falling out. So far that has worked for me. Good Luck

 

You most likely have a simple ice dam in your feeder tube. Disconnect it from your ice maker and clean it

 

ok, I'm off to find the on/off switch---If I'm not back in 5 minutes it means I got thirsty and went begging for ice

 

This ^^^

Or just unplug it and let the damn dam melt

 

i didn't mean for this to take a serious turn. don't we need to call him a faggot or tell him to die in a fire or something? what's the protocol in this situation?

 

We've had this same problem before, same type fridge. Unplug it for a couple of hours and see it that works

 

i emailed some. figured it was quicker.

 

no, the trough where the ice usually is, is completely empty. It could have very well have not been making ice for a long time. I don't use it much when it's cold, I only discovered it over the weekend when lots of people were here looking to have icy beverages

where would the feeder tube be? inside or outside of the fridge?

 

imma take a picture
