Depending on your model, you can perform a hard reset on your ice maker using the control panel. Hold the on/off button until the LED is red. Wait a couple of minutes and then hold the same button until it's green.
First, make sure the freezer is below 10 degrees because the icemaker will not cycle if the temperature in the freezer is over 10 degrees. Next, fill up the icemaker with a cup of water and wait 24 hours to see if it cycles and dumps the ice. If it doesn't cycle, replace the icemaker because it's just bad.
The most common reasons your Frigidaire refrigerator icemaker is not making but water works are a malfunctioning icemaker assembly, faulty water valve or a defective electronic control board.
Turn The Ice Maker Off and On Again
This is a simple matter of resetting the power to your ice maker. By flipping the switch off and back on, you may be able to reset the functionality so that your ice maker begins to dispense ice again.
1. Locate the control panel on the front of the ice maker. 2. Look for a "Reset" button or a small hole labeled "Reset" near the control panel.
If you don't hear a chime and there is no movement from the ice maker, unplug the fridge or turn it off at the circuit breaker for 2 minutes.
Check the water fill tubes
Check the fill cup and the tube at the back of the ice maker. If they are covered in ice, look for a blockage. If you see an obstruction, check out our guide on how to clean your refrigerator water line for detailed steps. If that doesn't work, consider replacing the water fill tubes.
Yes, Frigidaire freezers usually have a reset button located on the control panel. This button can be used to reset the freezer if it is not functioning properly or if there is a power outage.
Check to ensure the ice maker is turned ON – the LED light on your display for the ice maker will be illuminated. Before making ice for the 1st time – be sure to prime the water supply system.
If your freezer has an arm lever, make sure it's pushed down. If the arm is up, your ice maker won't make any new ice. Additionally, if your ice maker is controlled through your refrigerator's settings or has a switch, make sure it's on. Check for blockages like ice buildup or jammed ice cubes.
A problem with the freezer temperature or the freezer temperature setting can also cause low ice production. Check the freezer temperature and adjust it to 0-degrees if it isn't already at that setting. If the freezer is set to 0-degrees, you can try adjusting the temperature to -1-degrees to increase ice production.
To be sure the control arm is the problem, do a full Frigidaire ice maker reset. Depending on your model, you can perform a hard reset on your ice maker using the control panel. Hold the on/off button until the LED is red. Wait a couple of minutes and then hold the same button until it's green.
This usually is due to the water filter being clogged or a restricted water supply. It is recommended to change the water filter first but if the condition still occurs then you want to check for a saddle valve, a water valve not turned on all the way or a kinked water supply line.
To begin the ice-making process, a timer triggers the water valve, which fills the ice mold with water.
If your refrigerator is not properly making ice, the freezer temperature could be set too warm. Set the freezer control to a colder setting to improve ice production. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize. If you have any further questions, please contact us.
This will be located at the bottom of the ice maker unit in most models, but in some, it is at the bottom of the ice tray itself. Press the button down until you hear a beep sound. It will require a few seconds of holding it down before it beeps. Your refrigerator ice maker is now reset!
The machine is designed to remain on at all times.
Your freezer temperature could be too high, the water inlet valve may not be functioning correctly, your home water pressure may be low, the refrigerator's water filter may be clogged, or the ice maker may need to be replaced.
Unplug your refrigerator
Disconnect your fridge from its power source by removing the power cord from the wall outlet. You may hear some whooshing or knocking noises after you do so; that's normal. Make sure your fridge stays unplugged for several minutes, otherwise the reset won't work.
Ice Maker Gets Stuck
Remove the ice storage bin from the freezer and break clumped up ice with your hands. Dump any clumps you can't break up into the sink. Since inactivity causes ice clumps to form, the easiest long-term fix is to use the ice maker more frequently.
