Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Remove only loose, accessible ice that the owner’s manual allows you to clear; do not pry the mechanism.
Check that the ice bucket and user-removable parts are seated normally.
Confirm the household water supply is on if the icemaker fault involves fill.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
