Need ice maker help

[mtp0212@...]

We are in New Orleans where it is hot and muggy. And the ice maker has stopped making ice. The water fills the ice cube container, does not freeze and then dumps the water into the bin. There is ice under the bin where some water spilled, but there is no ice making. Anyone have any suggestions????

Hi Martha:

Remove the front grill cover (one screw) and set it aside and check the
front of the condenser coils for a mat of hair, dust and so on, if there is
no or limited air flow you will get what you describe. Be sure the fan on
the back side of the condenser is running; Assuming , of course, the ice
maker mold motor is at home detent. Does the compressor run? that will be
the black looking large can style item on the right side and inset about 8
inches or so.

CAUTION, be sure the power is switched off when removing the front grill
and replacing it. Also remember the ice maker is a 120 vac unit, do not
reach in only look with a flash light for the condenser fan running.

Check those first and if you find it needs cleaning then try making ice
once again. If not let us know and there are more steps to check.

Safe travels,
