I have a Frigidaire side by side with icemaker. The refrigerator model is FRS26LF8CS7 and the icemaker will not fill with water to make ice. The water dispenser works fine.
Make sure the water feeding tube into the ice maker is clean.
Locate the water inlet valve on the back of the refrigerator. Swap the wires between the ice maker and water dispenser solenoids. Push the water dispenser release and check if the ice maker got water.
If no, then the water inlet valve has to be replaced.
If yes, then the ice maker is the culprit.

Thanks Gene for your help. I just want to confirm. When I switch the lines at the water valve and push for water at front of door and water goes into ice maker, then the ice maker is bad. If no water goes into icemaker than the water valve is bad. Thank you for your time and help.
Yes, that’s right.
You are welcome and good luck. Keep us posted.

Gene, I have the same problem- no water to the icemaker for the above mentioned model#. But there are three solenoids and two, the yellow & green, have a wire loop connecting them so when I take the connectors off of the brown solenoid (water in the door) which other one do I attach that one to? Yellow or green? I hope that make sense. When I attached the water (brown solenoid) to either one there was never any water to the ice maker. SO the water inlet is bad? Thanks for your help.
The brown solenoid provides water to the water filter while the yellow and green solenoids supply water for the ice maker and the dispenser. You have to swap the wires between the yellow and green solenoids.

I have frigidaire as well model number FRS3R4EW4 the water dispenser works great but no water goin through the ice maker to make what is the problem any suggestions
The water to my ice maker was not shutting off. I needed to replace the double actuated valve. I think sometimes the valve is on when it fails (water won’t stop) and sometimes it is off when it fails (no water will go through).
Even after I replaced the valve though, my problems weren’t over. I also needed to thaw/remove the ice plug from inside the ramp/tube where the water pours into the ice maker, AND, the water frozen in the inlet end of the ice maker. If the tube is plugged with frozen water, then no water will be able to flow through. If the inlet to the ice tray is frozen, water will come down the tube, but will spash all over the place (most of it goes into the ice tray and some runs out the ice dispenser on the front of the freezer).
Thaw out both of these spots with a hair dryer so that the water can run into your ice maker.
Good luck.
I tried swapping the water and ice solenoids. No water came out hen I press the lever but I have already replaced the water inlet valve. Any ideas?

I have swapped the yellow and green solenoids and water did indeed fill the ice maker. However, how do I know I need a new ice maker and that the problem is not that the ice maker’s half of the solenoid is broken, and that is why it works when I plug it into the water’s half of the solenoid? In other words, if the yellow side is the ice maker side, and I plug the yellow cord into the green side and it works, how do I know the problem isn’t that the yellow side is broken?
I am having the same issue. I swapped the yellow and green and I made sure the water line is not plugged and I just changed the water valve. I also manually reset the ice maker any ideas?

Swapped the yellow and green connectors and water did run into the ice tray when i hit the water fill on the dispenser..
does that mean the ice maker is bad, or the water inlet valve?
