My ice maker is not working. We replaced the water filter thinking that was the problem but it still doesn't work. Help!

Did you make sure the wire to have it on is down? Make sure there isn't anything keeping it up when you close the freezer.

On the right side of the ice maker is a wire that acts as a sensor. In the UP position it tells the ice maker to stop producing ice. In the down position it signals the ice maker to make more ice. It often gets stuck in the up position. Just reach back and pull it down. The water filter does not have to be in the refrig for the ice maker to work. I assume that you are able to get water through the water dispenser; because no water, no ice.

The boyfriend says to try good quality filtered water and to turn your freezer to the warmest setting so that the ice freezes slower, that should give the air bubbles a chance to work out. Hope that helps!

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.

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.

Possible defective motor winding or your ice was still to cold (wait the 15 min. before blending) Return it for warranty if it happens again.

Make sure the impeller and magnet are properly seated in position. Also check the valve that directs the water flow - spin it to a few different directions to ensure you have water flow.

1. Your REFRIGERATORS should give you a signal like yellow then RED light that when you will need to replace it. 2. if your ice maker stop making ice, that the sign of replace the filter.

You need to look to see if your ice maker is attached on the side or somewhere else. If its attached on the left side this should work with minor adjustment. I replaced mine in less than 15 min.

I would exchange your coffee maker! The one I have works just fine. In fact, I have to lessen the amount of coffee because it comes out too strong. --- I do use only the filter that comes with the unit.

There are 2 things you nee to inspect: 1- check the water tank inside the refrigerator, remove and clean if necessary. 2- if you remove the original filter you need to install an outer filter in the water line that go inside the ice maker and water thank. If the problem persist replace or inspect the water valve on the back of refrigerator beside the compressor assuming that this refrigerator is an (Artica) by GE. Some ref comes with 2 filters check for that to.

The electric valve that controls water level in ice maker put too much water in the tray which made it too hard to turn the prongs that dump the ice. I replaced that valve and that cured the problem.

Call the company and ask for them to repair it. They will charge you money, but it's worth it, because it covers shipping and when you receive your unit back, they insert a new filter. So consider the price to fix it, the price of a new filter. Actually, you never know. They may not charge you to fix it....email/call and find out!

Mine is still working just fine, with light to medium use throughout the week. When the ice maker starts it makes a soft motor sound, which is caused by its pump, and once the ice tray is filled this noise stops. Sometimes, you can also hear a louder sound, made by a cooling fan. This unit is not the most silent on the planet but mine still works. Hope this helps.

I recently purchased a new frigidaire refrigerator. When I went to install the filter it would not click in and stay in place and water leaked around the filter when we used the water dispenser. Upon close inspection, there was a crack at the end of the filter along an existing seam.
