Ice Maker Not Working? Causes, What to Check and Professional Repair

An ice maker can stop making ice completely, make small or hollow cubes, or produce ice that clumps together. Water dispenser problems often appear at the same time.

Joseph Services repairs refrigerator ice makers in homes across Montréal, Laval and the South Shore, including built-in and door-mounted ice makers on LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, GE and other brands.

What to Check Before You Call

  1. Make sure the ice maker is switched on and the shut-off arm or sensor is not raised or blocked.
  2. Check that the freezer is cold enough, around −18 °C (0 °F). Most ice makers will not cycle if the freezer is too warm.
  3. If the water filter is more than six months old, replace it; a clogged filter reduces water flow.
  4. Make sure the household water valve behind the fridge is open.
  5. Check for ice jammed in the bucket or chute and remove clumps.

Common Reasons an Ice Maker Stops Working

Frozen Fill Tube

The small tube that carries water into the ice maker can freeze, especially when water pressure is low. The ice maker runs but no water arrives.

Water Inlet Valve

The inlet valve opens to send water to the ice maker and dispenser. A failed or weak valve causes no ice, small cubes or slow dispensing.

Clogged Water Filter or Low Water Pressure

Restricted flow means the ice maker does not fill properly and produces small or hollow cubes.

Ice Maker Assembly or Sensor

The ice maker module, its motor or its fill sensor can fail. On some models the ice maker is controlled by the main board, which we also test.

Freezer Temperature Too Warm

If the freezer is not cold enough, the ice maker will not complete its cycle. In this case the real repair is the cooling problem.
