Ice maker faults are most common on American fridge freezers and multi-door models. The ice-making mechanism has several components that can fail independently.

Common Causes

Water Supply Valve Blocked or Failed

The solenoid valve that lets water into the ice maker can become blocked with limescale or fail electrically. Replacement cost: £80–£150.

Ice Maker Module Failure

The module that controls the ice-making cycle can fail. Replacement: £100–£200 depending on model.

Freezer Temperature Too High

Ice makers require the freezer to be at -18°C or below. If the freezer is too warm, the ice maker will not produce ice regardless of its own condition.

Blocked Water Filter

If your model has an internal water filter, a blocked filter restricts flow to the ice maker. Replace the filter (usually every 6 months).
