For any others who might run into this problem, I spent literally hours trying to diagnose what was wrong after running through everything in the video and nothing seemed to work. I ran into something online that said to pop off the front of the actual ice maker (just use a little bit of force but it should pop off if it's like the one in the video) and if the gears are not moving, turn the large gear 1/4 of the way around clockwise to begin a manual reset process. Within a few minutes water came from the tube into the ice maker but it took me resetting multiple times to get ice and it still didn't work continuously without constantly resetting which led me to believe something may be wrong with the motor. After very close inspection the next day, I realized that probably a mm of two of the wedge tips on the gear had been corroded/chipped off and that was the reason the gear wasn't turning, water wasn't flowing into the freezer and ice wasn't being made. A quick gear order of Amazon for $15 ( www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083HMNWBP/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza ) fixed my issue and ice is flowing back in. Just glad I didn't have to replace the whole ice maker! Thanks @Farm Dad for the walkthrough as I would have never been able to deduce what was happening without this video and learned a whole ton about my refrigerator/ice maker in the process! lol Also my model number was FFSS2614QS6A.

I used a pair of bent needle nosed pliers and removed the plastic water piece from the back of the refrigerator and it was frozen solid. I noticed that to remove this piece I had to turn is a quarter turn to unlock and then pull. After I thawed out the ice I simple replaced and quarter turned it into the lock position and then reattached the water source. Thank you for posting your instructional video, it was very helpful.

Hey guys - just wanted to share a fix you might want to try. I had a repair guy finally look at my ice maker (2018 fridge). Turns out there was a design problem (he spoke to someone from Electrolux). Air was seeping into the hole where the waterline goes. If you live someplace that has high humidity it could cause the line to freeze. The fix was to insulate the line in the fridge and also seal the hole. Used to freeze up after 2 days and stop making ice. Has been running great for 2.5 weeks now and makes ice much much faster. Good luck!

I made the mistake of running my finger across it as I was pulling the piece and ended up with a pretty deep cut in my thumb. I suggest using pliers to pull the piece out if it doesn't budge for the inside, or taping around the metal edge that surrounds the piece. Good luck. Great video!

Thank you. Great basic quick check before moving on to replacement parts. It would be great to have seen the valve replacement or learn if some valves can be purchased at a local hardware store. I did learn about checking the top stem for blockage from this video but was not lucky and appears to be the valve. Thank you.

@FarmDad

Жыл бұрын

I wish I would have put in the video that a lot of times you can confirm whether your valve is bad by switching the connections on its solenoids. If you reverse the connections and no longer have water at the dispenser but start getting ice, the solenoid for the ice maker is bad. It's usually easiest to replace the whole valve. I usually buy it online as most hardware stores won't have it.

The first thing to check on a new fridge is the on/off switch at the front of the ice maker. Took about 2 seconds to press that switch to the on position. That's it.

OOOPS, There it is!: Frozen water inlet tube. Was lucky I have a small hand held water steamer. Removed excess ice from tube, removed water supply hose.

When pulling out the water feed "spicket" or tube, first turn it 1/4 turn counter clockwise, as there's a tiny plastic locking tab holding it in. This was iced up, on my fridge. Also, there's a tiny funnel on the ice maker itself, that this spicket dumps water into and it was frozen up too so, I actually had to remove the entire ice maker (super easy) and let it thaw out. You're processed worked great. Thanks!!
