A Kenmore ice maker that is not filling with water may have a frozen or clogged water line. Check the water lines in the back of the refrigerator to see if there is a visible kink or clog from the hard water that flows from the house line system. Flush the lines with a solution of one-part vinegar and one-part water.
What would cause my ice maker to stop working?
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. Cause: There is also a possibility that the water filter for the ice maker is clogged. Fix: Locate and replace the water filter.
Why is my ice maker not working but water does?
If the water inlet valve is defective, or if it has insufficient pressure, it wont allow water to flow through. As a result, the ice maker wont make ice. The valve requires at least 20 psi to function properly. Make sure that the water pressure to the valve is at least 20 psi.
