Ice Maker Not Making Ice
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).
