Randy, the same thing happened to me last year. It ended up being that the little nipple which the filter depresses against when screwed on had somehow chipped off. I ended up having to replace the entire filter assembly (which was quite easy to do).

The unit requires an electrical plug and " tubing to a water supply. If you remove the top lid there is a " quick connect to a small section of white " tubing that runs out the back of the unit. I removed that piece and replaced it with a long section that I ran to a RO water filter. You could go to a hardware store and get some " icemaker tubing and a fitting to splice it between a cold water shutoff and the supply line of a nearby faucet. Placing a water filter in the line is optional but there is no filter in the unit.

I am not an appliance technician. Possibly the problem is with the o-ring seal. Not the filter. If you still have the old one try swapping the o-ring from the filter you removed. Other than that I have no idea.

try to rinse out the cartridge. The cold side is plugged. Turn the cartridge around. If you only get cold water, the cartridge is plugged or bad.

There are no water supply connections this the ice maker. The water comes out of the refrigerator and pours into the trough in the top right hand corner of the ice maker. As fare as how fast it makes ice will depend on the size of ice cubes you select to make and the setting on your refrigerator.

t can be the water filter, remove the water filter the system has an auto bypass and see if there is water flow through the door dispenser.

I just installed this ice maker and am having the same issue. The ice comes off in a big block and does not separate without beating on it with the scoop. Still does not completely separate. We have reduced the temperature and it is a bit better. Going to reduce the temp a couple more degrees and see if that is the fix.

usually. But you could also have a frozen water line in the door just behind the dispenser. Google your refrig on the web for "no water in dispenser" for answers on fixing that. I had a frozen water line and so changing my filter didn't do anything. Before you buy a new filter, try the "by pass" that came with your refrig when you first bought it. If the by pass allows the water to flow then, your filter is plugged up.

I have the same situation, but after a much longer period of use. My second filter was at the stage when the light would flash red. Before I replaced it, the light stopped working. I replaced the filter, and still no light working. Checking online, I found that, with the filter out, you can access the switch for the light. I pressed it and the light activated. Put the filter back in and it didn't work. Repeated a couple more time, with no success. I also read online that there is no direct relationship between the light and the filter itself; it simply tracks water flow. I have decided to keep using it until there is an obvious change in either flow rate or water quality. I have the same situation, but after a much longer period of use.

The same thing happened to mine when I was using tap water in it. Even though they say you can use tap water I couldn't use it in mine because it stopped working. I ordered a new one and only used distilled water in it. It's been working for a couple of years now. If you contact the Shark people, they will fix it for you but you'll have to ship it back to them.

Yes. One hand to dial your phone to call customer service and another to write down the phone number of the authorized service center. Tomorrow I will be getting the ice maker replaced for the third or fourth time. The service man has been here so many times to fix this refrigerator I can't remember the exact number. My sister has the same refrigerator and has had it fixed four or five times. There was a class action suit against LG for this refrigerator. When the ice maker is working and the water is dispensing all you need is one hand to get water. When the ice maker is broken it does not dispense any water so you don't need any hands at all.

I noticed what the other commenters said about him never having to clean his icemaker but it all depends on your water source. All water has some kind of minerals in it and the only way to not have water problems is to use distilled water. So the icemaker will get gummed up with bacteria/slime, so you do need to clean it periodically.

Did you give it a little time to saturate the filter? Unless you did something putting the new filter on, which I am not sure what that could be. Giving the filter time to fill is all I can think of. Good luck.

It's probably broken. Mine did the same after 18 months, the defrost cycle ceases to work and the unit just ices up. It stopped making headway against the humidity, the water in the bucket is basically the ice melting a little.I threw mine away. It was a nice dehumidifier while it lasted. Too bad it's not built well.

I have no clue. I assume you have ice maker in fridge. Mine quit working a few days after warranty expired. After a little research, I find that many have problems with this ice maker. Frigidaire response, "TOUGH". I did find ice in the fan. No idea why. Used a hair dryer to melt it. I do not use the ice maker anymore.

My filter was in use and was not replaced for approximately 18 months. I would say we have moderate water and ice usage.
