Ice Maker Troubleshooting Tips

If you have issue with your ice maker, you can try to diagnose the issue yourself before calling a fix man. A good place to start is the hand-operated for the appliance; it's all the time easier when you have the assistance hand-operated for the machine. I've listed below some of the most coarse issues with ice makers and their solutions.

A straightforward yet very coarse problem is it may be turned off. There will be a wire along the right side of the ice maker that looks like a clothes hanger. If the wire is in the upright position the ice maker is most likely turned off. If this is the case try one of these:

Amana Refrigerators

If your appliance has a small red plastic lever, push it down to lower the wire.

If it has a plastic lever, just lower the wire.

In whether case, it should start producing ice again. The temperature in the freezer needs to be 8 degrees Fahrenheit or lower so check for this. If it is above this temperature the appliance will not cycle on and produce ice.

Another potential infer for no ice is the tube may be blocked. If so you will need to melt the blockage with a hair dryer. You will need to e truthful and not apply to much heat to the plastic, it can melt. Also it may be primary to replace the water shut off valve and or the water inlet valve.

Ice maker head assembly may be broken is one last place to check. Look to see if the gears have broken. There are small plastic arms that lean up against the ice rake, check to see if they are broken. The head assembly is a modular piece so if it is found to be broken you can just replace the parts.

These are some coarse ice maker troubleshooting tips. It is best to read the hand-operated or instructions considered when trying to fix appliances. You could potentially damage the theory event more if you try to fix it without knowing how.
