Common Symptoms
- Ice maker stops producing ice because its evaporator is frozen over
- Visible frost or ice accumulation around the ice-maker evaporator
- Defrost cycle does not adequately clear frost from the ice-maker evaporator
- Ice-maker fan or auger area becomes obstructed by accumulated ice
Check Before Replacing
- With the refrigerator unplugged, inspect the ice-maker evaporator area for abnormal frost or ice buildup.
- Check whether the ice maker is failing to produce ice while the evaporator area is frozen over.
- After disconnecting power and following the model-specific service procedure, test the heater for electrical continuity with a multimeter; lack of continuity indicates the heater itself is defective, but does not rule out other defrost-system faults.
- Confirm that the heater wiring connector is fully seated and that wires are not visibly damaged; do not energize exposed wiring.
Pro Tip
A frozen ice-maker evaporator does not by itself prove the heater is defective; continuity testing and inspection of the related defrost components can help avoid replacing a good heater.
