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.
It's possible that Ice may be jammed. Ice could have melted and frozen around the auger due to infrequent use, temperature fluctuations, and/or power outages. Remove the ice bin, thaw and empty contents. Clean the ice bin (wipe/dry) and replace in proper position.
If the icemaker only dispensing cubes, this means that your bar along the bottom of the bin is stuck in the lifted position. If you remove the bin you'll see the metal bar along the bottom of it which is used to change the ice dispenser from crushed to cubed. Look at the back wall behind the ice bin now.
Check for ice that's lodged in the dispenser by bending over and carefully looking up into the chute. Solution: If you see a handful of loose cubes, jiggle them free to release them. If ice in the chute seems lodged or stuck, it's best to place a catch under the dispenser and give the ice time to melt on its own.
Reset the Ice Maker
More manual models without a control panel may require simply that you raise the fill-bar and lower it. You can also cut power to the fridge or ice maker and then restore power to attempt a reset. Resetting the ice maker returns it to default settings and a default program.
Water must be moved from the reservoir to the coolant for a portable maker to make ice. The unit will, therefore, not function if there is no water transfer. So, if your ice maker is not producing ice, check if water enters the coolant. Water transfer in ice makers mostly fails because the water pump needs to be fixed.
When the ice reaches a certain thickness (depending on your ice type), the sensor detects a drop in freezer temperature and signals the ice maker to begin the dump cycle.
If your refrigerator has stopped ejecting ice, it could be due to several possible causes, including lumps of ice in the container, a worn dispenser or ejector, ice stuck in the tine, a clogged dispenser, a frozen auger motor, and a jammed chute.
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.
If you don't hear a chime, but you can see movement from the ice maker, then the ice maker was reset. 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. Then, power it back up and try again.
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.
If your ice maker isn't making ice or if the ice cubes are small or misshapen, the water fill tubes may be the problem. Check the fill cup and the tube at the back of the ice maker. If they are covered in ice, look for a blockage.
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.
If the auger motor is burned out or defective, the ice won't move forward and fall through the chute.
Common Frigidaire Ice Maker Problems and Solutions
Ensure the ice maker is turned on. Check connection to water line, no kinks or blockages, and ensure water valve is open. Replace the filter if older than six months. Set freezer temperature to 0°F (-18°C) or lower.
Where is my water filter located? The majority of refrigerator filters are located in one of two locations: in the grille at the base of the fridge or in the back upper-right corner of the interior.
If your ice maker is not dropping ice, it could be that there's a blockage in the ice tray, or an ice cube is jammed between the bin and the lever. If this happens, here are some things you can do: Double-check that the lever is pushed down and/or the ice maker is switched on.
Because this tray is inside the freezer, it gets cold, and the water begins to freeze. Nearby is a sensor which is measuring the temperature of the water, waiting for it to reach a certain temperature (usually about -12°C/10°F). Once it reaches this temperature, the water is solidly frozen and ready to remove.
A really good refrigerator ice maker will produce 8 to 10 cubes every 90 minutes. In this case, your ice maker should cycle around 16 times each day yielding around 130 cubes in a 24 hour period.
A: First batch in 10-15 minutes. A: Yes, the portable ice maker makes noise when it dumps into tray. Some humming noise while running as well.
If your ice maker isn't producing ice at all or is producing crescents or cubes that are smaller than usual, it's typically indicative of a clog somewhere along the supply line. Cause: A common cause for a clog is frozen water in the line. Fix: To repair a frozen line, slide the refrigerator and unplug it.
