For your ice tray to work correctly, your freezer must not be above 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 degrees Celsius).
Here’s how to check and reset the temperature:
The next step is to check that the ice maker switch is working correctly.
To do that:
The water inlet valve opens to let water into the ice maker when it is told to by the control board. if it becomes defective, your ice maker will not work properly.
To check the water inlet valve, you need to:
The next step is to check the water filter. When the filter becomes clogged, water will not flow properly into the fridge, and the ice maker will not be able to work correctly. You need to replace your water filter every 6 months. If you haven’t changed the water filter for a while, replace it and then see if the ice maker starts to work properly. If not, move on to step five.
Your ice maker unit has a motor that helps to turn the tray around and deposit ice cubes into the ice container. The motor automatically turns on when the ice tray reaches a certain temperature. After the ice tray is turned and the ice is deposited, it will then make the water inlet valve open to refill the tray with water.
To check the ice maker module, you need to:
The door switch is responsible for turning off the ice and water dispenser if the fridge door opens. When the door switch becomes faulty, your ice maker will not work properly.
Here’s how to check it:
The ice tray thermostat (sometimes called an ice maker mold thermostat) is responsible for keeping track of the temperature of the ice tray. When the ice tray reaches the right temperature, the ice tray will then turn around and deposit ice cubes into the ice container. If the thermostat doesn’t work properly, the ice tray will not turn around.
To check the thermostat, you need to:
If you still haven’t solved the problem, you might want to consider replacing the ice maker assembly completely. The components that make up the ice maker assembly are usually not sold separately, so you have to replace the whole unit. If you have tested all of the other components listed above and still haven’t fixed your ice tray, then you should consider replacing the ice maker assembly unit. However, before doing so it is a good idea to get a qualified technician to inspect your freezer.
