Common Symptoms
- Ice production stops despite adequate water supply and pressure.
- Ice maker does not respond to the on/off switch.
- Ice maker operates intermittently or cannot be switched on or off.
- Ice maker does not harvest when the switch is on, although other ice-maker components may be functional.
Check Before Replacing
- Confirm the rocker switch is in the ON position.
- With the refrigerator unplugged, test the switch for continuity in the ON position; lack of continuity indicates the switch may be faulty.
- Inspect the switch wiring and nearby refrigerator-door harness for damaged, loose, or cut wires.
- Before condemning the switch, verify that the ice maker, water supply, inlet valve, and related wiring are not the actual cause of the symptom.
Pro Tip
A failed switch is not the only cause of an ice maker that does not produce ice; test switch continuity and inspect wiring before replacing the part.
