Refrigerator Not Making Ice? Ice Maker 11033701 – Fix No-Ice or Low-Ice Output Fast
A refrigerator that stops producing ice is one of the most frustrating appliance failures — especially in summer. In most Bosch French door and bottom-freezer refrigerators, this is caused by a failed ice maker assembly. When it fails, the ice maker stops cycling entirely, produces hollow or misshapen cubes, or simply never fills — leaving you without ice regardless of freezer temperature. ⚡ Common failure point in Bosch-built refrigerators, particularly in the B26FT series after extended use. Part 11033701 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full automatic ice production with a direct-fit swap — no modifications required.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Your refrigerator powers on and cools normally
- ✔ The freezer is maintaining proper temperature (0°F / -18°C)
- ✔ Water supply line and inlet valve are confirmed OK
- ✔ ONLY problem is no ice production, slow ice output, or malformed cubes

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Ice maker has completely stopped producing ice
- Ice maker cycles but produces hollow, small, or misshapen cubes
- Ice maker arm is stuck or not moving through the harvest cycle
- Ice bin remains empty despite correct freezer temperature and water supply
- Ice maker makes noise but no ice drops into the bin
✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing this ice maker assembly restores normal ice production immediately.

While the freezer door is open and the ice maker is out, inspect the water inlet valve and ice maker fill tube for mineral buildup or cracking. A restricted inlet valve is often the root cause of ice maker failure — replacing it at the same time prevents a repeat repair and saves a second service call.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: Moderate — 20 to 35 minutes. Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing. Remove the ice bin and unscrew the existing ice maker from the freezer wall, disconnect the wiring harness, and slide the unit out. Connect the wiring harness to the new 11033701 assembly, mount it to the freezer wall, reinstall the ice bin, restore power and water, and run a test cycle to confirm ice production.
