Refrigerator Ice Maker Not Working - Top 3 Reasons & Fixes - Kenmore, Whirlpool, Frigidaire & more

BRO!! That little piece that fell off, all you do is pop that off and stick a screw driver in there to adjust it. You pulled the ice maker out for nothing

Thanks for the video, dirty coils cleaned and ice maker started working again. Took overnight to work, but thanks for the video.

Last ohm meter test about blew up my ohm meter. Maybe they meant to unplug the refrigerator before testing!

How is the plastic cover attached to the control housing? Its a Whirlpool WRF535SMBM00

Excellent video, by any chance do you have a video on how to reset the ice maker on a 795.74113.710 Kenmore refrigerator , thank you.

Mine was the refrigerant can was not pushed in all the way . Started making ice right away.

Awesome video

Mine just needed rebooting to fix the problem. Must be running Microsoft software.

Why is my Frigidaire professional dual ice maker, bottom isn’t working after I heard knocking for a while

This was a tremendous help! My Kenmore IM was still working but not producing as it should. Cubes were smaller, also. First step was clean the coils, and they were completely clogged. After a couple of days the IM close to normal, but still not producing as before. Just checked it out with multimeter and all appears OK.

What temp should Frigidaire refrigerator freezer temp be set on the lowest or highest setting to make ice faster ?

Wow great video my friend 👍🏽👍🏽

I have a Hisense French door but the ice maker is identical to the one you're showing . I've had it for 2 yrs and a hard piece of ice knocked the part that flips the ice loose then the wires looked as if they got cut . For some reason , my entire frig seemed to shut down after this happened but everyone doesn't think this has anything to do with the frig stopping but this is the only thing that happened before it stopped. I actually tried to put the wires back together and noticed the frig staying on 45 seconds b4 it goes back out . I decided to replace the ice maker and hope it works . Because non of the videos I've seen has stated this could happen , I've just been guessing . Hopefully the replacement works . Thanks for the video !

i got my kenmore refrigetor coop year ago was working fine but , they stop make ice and i never change the filter , do you think is the problem or i have to cleaning on back ?
please can you help me

Excellent video 😊

Great videos!

Hi, thanks for the video. If the water supply line is clogged, would that stop the motor from cycling?

Great informative information will be ordering parts very soon thank you!!!

VERY HELPFUL🤩

I have a whirlpool side by side I have replaced the ice maker waited 24 hrs to make ice I got a half. And then it stopped no more ice. The temperature it’s at 15 and humidity is at 16 . No ice in 2 weeks. What should do next?

nice video, but it doesn't show my kenmore side by side. the ice maker is in the top of the frezzer. the ice despensor is on the door with a lift out bin. how do I fix this.

I have WRS321SDHZ model whirlpool it's making ice but won't dump the ice I reset it

So, If I don’t want to make Ice the Ice Maker Arm should be Up right ?

Very valuable video . Specifically ,short & precise . That is PROFESSIONALLY . Pure gold in the internet garbage . Thank you .

well there's your problem, your ice maker is in your refrigerator!

Here's my problem, I changed out the check valve, mine is inside behind the panel. I'm getting water to the water dispenser but none to the ice maker, so should I now change the ice maker?

Don’t blow up your ice maker like I did. I have the first type he showed how to test. The numbers looked good on the multimeters so I pulled off the white gear thing that says don’t adjust. One of the contacts was black and dirty. I cleaned the gear part with electronics cleaner and a brass brush. Then, for good measure, I sprayed electronics cleaner into the ice maker contacts. Nothing happened until I scrubbed it with a brass brush and BOOM. Instant fire. I blew on it and it went out. Reinstalled the gear and it started turning immediately. Seems to work like new!

Excellent troubleshooting guide. Thanks!

Our refrigerator's condenser coils were super dirty, so our ice maker didn't work. Well we cleaned it up, and now our ice maker works.

Dudes' hair looks like he got a hold of some live wires. JK. A REALLY good video. It solved my problem. Well done. Thanks.

It makes ice but won't come out

this is a repairmen guide. what is a girl to do?

I think you help me fix my fridge!

External water valve solenoid I’m reading 1 ohm instead of 270. I checked the continuity on the solenoid for the ice hose in the back and it was good. Where is the external water valve solenoid at? I’m not sure what part it is

Can the ice maker going out contribute or be the reason why the fridge is freezing everything? (i already tried changing out the cold control thermostat). thanks! Great vid.

This one driving me crazy if anyone has suggestions. My Frigidaire side by side is about 8 years old. The ice maker replaced about 6 months ago. We noticed some wet ice and frozen clumps in bucket then water leaking out of front. I determined that the ice maker was calling for water and it opened up the valve and seemed to fill the tray normally and with no leak. However, it called for water again every 3-5 minutes until the corner of the tray would overflow. The valve seems to be coming on and shutting off properly it is just happening every few minutes instead of waiting the proper cycle time. Is it the ice maker, the inlet valve or something else?

This video was really helpful now I got to put a motor in the ice maker

Great video!

Great video. Solved my problem

I have been working on my Whirlpool model GX5FHDXVY03 that is having issues with not making ice. With you providing the readings that I should see with my multimeter, this was an easy troubleshooting session. The culprit was the water solenoid that was showing a value of "0". Ordered my part and we will have ice very soon! Thank you for the awesome video!

Great video, the BEST!

GREAT VIDEO, BUT DUDE YOUR HAIR...SO 70'S.......

Help! When I tested L and M for the motor I got 74.8 ohms (MM set at 200 which is lowest ohm setting) you said should be 4,400 - 8,800...when I tested the external water solenoid I got no change on MM. Got one on order.....

Why would a solenoid that tests good not open to send water to the ice maker? Good pressure new filter. Water dispenser works fine.

What about leaks? Creating a whole block of ice

Man has a wide legged stance.....he is trustworthy

Hi. I have a similar fridge. It makes ice. But is like melted. Like water had been poured over all the ice. Freezer is working fine and freezing the food. And the ice maker is brand new. What could be causing this??
