Ice makers typically fail for a few reasons, and if your ice maker isn't making ice, only crushing ice, not dispensing ice, or won't stop making ice, review the hyperlinked guides first. After resetting power to the refrigerator, if you still don't have ice after a 24 hour period, you may have to reset the ice maker.

Use the Reset Button

Put rags and the ice bucket beneath your ice maker to prevent water from accumulating during these tests.

  • Flip the ice maker switch off for 5 seconds, then flip it on.
  • Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds.
  • Cycle the feeler arm up and down several times.

The unit should be in test mode now and will run a manual ice harvest cycle. Watch as the arm moves, and the tray dumps or otherwise ejects cubes. A fill cycle will then start. Your ice maker has been reset.

It seems that my feeler arm is stuck in the up position

I just replaced the ice tray assembly. It worked making ice and dumping into the bin for two days then stopped. There are ice cubes in the tray but it doesn't dump them into the bin. Anyone have this proble? Anyone know a fix?

Did you ever figure out a solution? I’m having the same issue. I think it is a bad motor
