Thank you from California! I found Ice in my bucket cleaned it out moved ice cream out of the way so the unit is free from any items installed a new water filter and left the settings alone. We are headed out to church and will be back later today I will check if we have ice tomorrow 24 hours from now! Thank you again my modle is Samsung RS25H5111SR/AA. I bought in 2014 I have had no trouble with the ice maker at all. Or any other problems with this refrigerator I do need to be more dilligent in changing the water filters on time. You videos are very informative and helpful, I am a female at 57 years old and was able to understand and do it myself!! Thanks again! Have a Great Day!

One more thing to check for new units. My brand new Whirlpool side by side would not make ice. Turns out, the electrical connector at the back of the ice maker was never plugged in when it was assembled at the factory.

A simple RO filter system takes care of 2 things.1) taste and sediment (the built in should last). 2) the 3+ gallon storage tank will allow water to cool to room (cabinet) temp.

It sounds that LG intentionally makes the ice machine not work as soon as you, as soon as the fridge recognizes the filter you replace is not LG. Water is water. It makes no sense for the ice maker to stop working because it's not an LG filter. It just shows a product is no longer yours even after you paid for it.

I have a 2 year old GE built in side by side. The ice machine has always worked and then 2 days ago just stopped. I live in Florida so right away I lowered my freezer to -2, good tip! My water comes in around 80 degrees so that will help for sure. I do use an aftermarket filter but I’ve gone through a few without issue. Can I just remove it and test without buying a new one? Or does it need a filter?

@brandonhaines4199 10 ай бұрын

I would think you have to have a filter because the water goes through the filter (unless there’s a way to cap off the filter line. Our Samsung is 2 years old and I’ve been using an aftermarket filter (half the price) for over a year now with no issue until recently. Tonight I pressed the reset button hoping that will fix it

@brianokeefe7781 3 ай бұрын

I used aftermarket filters a couple of time with no problems then I put in a new one and ice maker started turning out 'small incomplete' cubes. I checked 'everything' and EVEN replaced the unit with NEW and a new aftermarket filter with no change. Finally (even after buying a stand alone counter top ice maker) I put a factory filter in and after a day everything went back to normal operation . . . . Cost me several hundred bucks to learn a lesson about after market filters. p.s. mine won't run without a filter cuz as mentioned in the video the water path IS thru the filter. BUT in my case there is a 'filter eliminator' for trouble shooting ... it has all the connections of the filter but nothing in between allowing a free flow thru the filter housing.

I had an issue with my KitchenAid French door refrigerator/freezer ice maker. I noticed no ice. I unplugged to investigate, decided to just order an aftermarket version instead of really troubleshooting. Plugged it back in and a couple hours latter, 2 trays of ice were in the box. "Great I fixed it!" Next morning no new ice. So I bought a new unit, hooked everything up, a few hours latter... ICE! "I fixed it!" Nope. I just came back home from work and it's the same as the other unit. Maybe 2 trays and nothing else. As with the old one, there's ice in the maker, but it's just not dumping. At this point, I'm frustrated and almost ready to call it and buy a new one. Please advise.

@brianokeefe7781 3 ай бұрын

no but if you don't connect the water supply you want to 'turn off' the ice maker else it will continuously cycle dry. Daughter recently replaced fridge with ice maker and moved old one into the garage for extra space ... did not hook up the water for the ice maker. Visiting I heard the ice maker cycle ...... lifted the bail to turn ice maker OFF.....

My GE icemaker is not delivering ice. It just jams up or something and won't come ount in front. We've had this unit since 2005 and it's always been reliable. During the hurrican Ian, we kept it running part of the time with no power (used a generator) and saved our food but perhaps it took a toll on the freezer icemaker. Any clue????

@sheri023 Жыл бұрын

I have a 2006 GE with the same problem. It makes ice but when I try to get it to come out front out of the door the ice just stays in the bucket. The auger in the bucket will move by hand and the crush blades are not jammed up now that I took all the ice out, but there is some kind of contact between the auger and the front lever that isn't letting the ice auger to move the ice forward.

@sheri023 Жыл бұрын

I think it is the auger motor that turns the auger that is inside the bucket. The motor is behind the bucket. Look up the KZfaq video called: "GE refrigerator ice bucket auger motor replacement." It shows how to replace the motor and what the part number is. You can buy it on Ebay or google the OEM part (costs double) by giving the part number. I put this here for anyone here who has the problem of ice not coming out of the door even though ice is making and in the bucket.

Yes it is removable but it is cheap plastic and you need to carefully bend it to get it to release from the tabs that lock it in. Google your model number and some appliance parts websites have videos on how to remove this. It is easier to remove than put back. Have patience.
