For clarification:

When I stated that there is plenty of water pressure at the water dispenser, I was speaking about the water dispenser in the door for dispensing water to a drinking glass. Not sure about water to the ice maker.

I cannot see if the ice maker has ice in its trays. This ice maker is in the door and the only visible access I have is the air vent supply to it. There is no way to see what might be in the tray. Got any ideas how to get access to the icemaker without tearing the door apart first?

I checked that switch the first day. Yes, it is 'ON'. I flipped it to OFF and ON several time to be certain it was fully set to 'ON' position. Still after 24 hours, there is no ice.

Next step is to check the valve. I haven't heard any water running into the ice maker for a couple of days now but I do have water on demand to the water dispenser in the front of the refrig.

Not sure if the ice maker is going through its cycles either. Any way to determine this without tearing into the door just yet? I would like to determine if the problem is the ice maker or something else before tearing into the door.

Thanks!

Found the problem! :eek: There were a few ice cubes jamming the ice maker, preventing it from completing its cycle. Removed and made sure there were no other cubes jamming the works and soon afterwards heard the ice tray empty into the bucket; a sound I haven't heard in days. About 30 minutes later, when the freezer cooled back down, I heard the ice tray fill with water. Should have new ice in about an hour. :)

Got any idea what may have caused the cubes to jam the way it did? Is this indicative of a problem starting to surface with the ice maker or just one of those flukes that sometimes surfaces? :confused:

Unfortunately without being able to see what and how the cubes were jammed in there, it is difficult to explain. I only could reach in with my hand, through the bottom of the ice maker cavity, and feel with my fingers. The ice cubes were jammed at the top of the ice maker. Luckily I have long fingers and a not so fat hand!

Back in business! Thanks for your help! ;)

I have this same problem. Ironically it was this thread that allowed me to fix my icemaker a few months ago as I had ice jamming the maker from completing its cycle.

I thought that might be the problem this time. It is not. I removed the two screws on the icemaker casing or hood and removed that after removing the Ice bucket/reservoir. This allowed me to see an empty Ice try. I manually filled the tray to see if there might be something that would happen. No Luck. Now I have a tray of frozen ice due to me filling it manually but no movement from the mechanism that would kick it out.

I saw the part about switching the plugs on the water valve. I was able to remove the white plug to the red side but cannot, for the life of me, remove the gray plug to the green side. That said I can't perform the test you suggested.

Does the plug have a latch I cannot see?

Also. I have water to the water dispenser. Can the water in the hose to the ice maker be frozen if the water to the dispenser is not frozen? I was thinking about letting the whole freezer thaw hence the water hose would thaw as well in case it was frozen and go from there. I just did not want to try that if the fact that the water dispenser working proved the hose to the ice maker was not frozen.

Aloha and Mahalo for any input.
