Thank you from California! I found Ice in my bucket cleaned it out moved ice cream out of the way so the unit is free from any items installed a new water filter and left the settings alone. We are headed out to church and will be back later today I will check if we have ice tomorrow 24 hours from now! Thank you again my modle is Samsung RS25H5111SR/AA. I bought in 2014 I have had no trouble with the ice maker at all. Or any other problems with this refrigerator I do need to be more dilligent in changing the water filters on time. You videos are very informative and helpful, I am a female at 57 years old and was able to understand and do it myself!! Thanks again! Have a Great Day!
Good tip about changing the temp on the freezer during warm weather, I'm definitely got to do that, we find our cold water warm in mid summer here in nj
I have a LG with a freezer in the bottom drawer area . We are getting a frozen puddle of ice in the bottom of the ice tray and have ice cubes all frozen together on top . 6:27
I have been using LG thick Q side by side for 6 months. Craft ice has been making well until now. Do i have to replace anything to make it work? Thank you
Yes it is removable but it is cheap plastic and you need to carefully bend it to get it to release from the tabs that lock it in. Google your model number and some appliance parts websites have videos on how to remove this. It is easier to remove than put back. Have patience.
It sounds that LG intentionally makes the ice machine not work as soon as you, as soon as the fridge recognizes the filter you replace is not LG. Water is water. It makes no sense for the ice maker to stop working because it's not an LG filter. It just shows a product is no longer yours even after you paid for it.
Thanks for the video. Watched it full. My fridge has an internal water container on the fridge side that is used to make ice in the freezer side. My issue is it doesn't make ice anymore even though the water container is full of water.
My GE icemaker is not delivering ice. It just jams up or something and won't come ount in front. We've had this unit since 2005 and it's always been reliable. During the hurrican Ian, we kept it running part of the time with no power (used a generator) and saved our food but perhaps it took a toll on the freezer icemaker. Any clue????
I have a 2006 GE with the same problem. It makes ice but when I try to get it to come out front out of the door the ice just stays in the bucket. The auger in the bucket will move by hand and the crush blades are not jammed up now that I took all the ice out, but there is some kind of contact between the auger and the front lever that isn't letting the ice auger to move the ice forward.
I think it is the auger motor that turns the auger that is inside the bucket. The motor is behind the bucket. Look up the UA-cam video called: "GE refrigerator ice bucket auger motor replacement." It shows how to replace the motor and what the part number is. You can buy it on Ebay or google the OEM part (costs double) by giving the part number. I put this here for anyone here who has the problem of ice not coming out of the door even though ice is making and in the bucket.
I have an LG like the first one you were talking about. The bottom drawer ice maker that makes the large round balls of ice quit working shortly after I purchased it. Ant ideas on that style?
I'm getting my whirlpool bottom freezer refrigerator Model #WRB322DMBW delivered in a couple of weeks. I don't need the ice maker but couldn't find another fridge I liked w/o it. Do I have to connect the Ice maker?
no but if you don't connect the water supply you want to 'turn off' the ice maker else it will continuously cycle dry. Daughter recently replaced fridge with ice maker and moved old one into the garage for extra space ... did not hook up the water for the ice maker. Visiting I heard the ice maker cycle ...... lifted the bail to turn ice maker OFF.....
I had a plastic bag get tangled in the fingers. How do I fix. Do the fingers go backwards ? Can the unit be pulled out of the fridge easily ? It is in the bottom section and does not dispense through a door.
I have a 2 year old GE built in side by side. The ice machine has always worked and then 2 days ago just stopped. I live in Florida so right away I lowered my freezer to -2, good tip! My water comes in around 80 degrees so that will help for sure. I do use an aftermarket filter but I’ve gone through a few without issue. Can I just remove it and test without buying a new one? Or does it need a filter?
I would think you have to have a filter because the water goes through the filter (unless there’s a way to cap off the filter line. Our Samsung is 2 years old and I’ve been using an aftermarket filter (half the price) for over a year now with no issue until recently. Tonight I pressed the reset button hoping that will fix it
I used aftermarket filters a couple of time with no problems then I put in a new one and ice maker started turning out 'small incomplete' cubes. I checked 'everything' and EVEN replaced the unit with NEW and a new aftermarket filter with no change. Finally (even after buying a stand alone counter top ice maker) I put a factory filter in and after a day everything went back to normal operation . . . . Cost me several hundred bucks to learn a lesson about after market filters. p.s. mine won't run without a filter cuz as mentioned in the video the water path IS thru the filter. BUT in my case there is a 'filter eliminator' for trouble shooting ... it has all the connections of the filter but nothing in between allowing a free flow thru the filter housing.
My water dispenser & ice dispenser will not work & the light that comes on when opening the refrigerator sometimes comes in & sometimes wont come on. All this started at the same time. Suggestions please!!
One more thing to check for new units. My brand new Whirlpool side by side would not make ice. Turns out, the electrical connector at the back of the ice maker was never plugged in when it was assembled at the factory.
I have a Samsung fridge but my ice maker is not Flippin to toss the ice cubs in the tray I have to push the little button for the arm to flip how can you help thx
I have a LG with a freezer in the bottom drawer area . We are getting a frozen puddle of ice in the bottom of the ice tray and have ice cubes all frozen together on top .
I had a similar problem. In my case, there was too much ice build-up and excess water sprays onto the ice tray. I had to use a blow dryer to unclog huge clump of ice and that helped fix the issue.
I have a refrigerator LG LSXS26366 and the ice tray bin is stuck. I cant get it out. No ice in the bin. There is some frozen ice cubes on the upper right side of the bin. I want to take the bin out and remove the frozen ice I see and if there is any other frozen ice I can not see....BUT I cant get the ice bin tray out! Any help is greatly appreciated.
@@JuanSanchez-pq7xn me too. Keeps doing it and I dont know why. Grest idea with the hair dryer. Well at least it safer than using a mallet and a steak knife as an ice pick and chipping it away. How long did it take with the hairdryer?
@@masfishing1 I told you before that it kept doing it and by watching another video I found out that a area where the water comes out was frozen and it was deviating the water to the right side where it was getting frozen and therefore making it difficult to remove the tray. I turned the ice maker off for a couple of days and it seems that it took care of it. It’s working ok and so far it hasn’t build any ice on that area. I’ll keep and eye on it for a while and see what happens. Good luck.
I had an issue with my KitchenAid French door refrigerator/freezer ice maker. I noticed no ice. I unplugged to investigate, decided to just order an aftermarket version instead of really troubleshooting. Plugged it back in and a couple hours latter, 2 trays of ice were in the box. "Great I fixed it!" Next morning no new ice. So I bought a new unit, hooked everything up, a few hours latter... ICE! "I fixed it!" Nope. I just came back home from work and it's the same as the other unit. Maybe 2 trays and nothing else. As with the old one, there's ice in the maker, but it's just not dumping. At this point, I'm frustrated and almost ready to call it and buy a new one. Please advise.
A simple RO filter system takes care of 2 things.1) taste and sediment (the built in should last). 2) the 3+ gallon storage tank will allow water to cool to room (cabinet) temp.
My LG refrigerator ice maker has a small hole on the left side. I was able to insert the end of a paperclip and depress for maybe 3 seconds and the ice maker cycled.
@@Jointerdude I read your comment and picked an small sharp pin from my phone and wen to the LG side by side opened the compartment tryin find the whole just find it out of nowhere and did the reset thing and a noise came out and the job is done. THANK YOU With much love.
My ice maker stopped working, I turn it off and back on again and it tries to dump but isn’t able to. There is no obstruction. It’s a Ken more elite in door maker
Wish you showed a Bosch, had it 2 months and the dispenser valve keeps rotating. Tried all the troubleshooting tips from the instructions. Called Bosch, NO TECHNICIANS to service my area! Yet I bought it from my local Home Depot! Beyond furious!

Same here
@@mugishayvan8553 Did you get it to work?
Tip # 4 - how do you get those bits of ice out if they fell into the slots? Is that stripper assembly removable?
Yes it is removable but it is cheap plastic and you need to carefully bend it to get it to release from the tabs that lock it in. Google your model number and some appliance parts websites have videos on how to remove this. It is easier to remove than put back. Have patience.
I have an issue with my LG side by side refrigerator. The ice maker makes ice really slowly and the water comes out slowly also. What should I do?
Replace old tubbing and clean the line with vinegar; flush it with vinegar.
It sounds that LG intentionally makes the ice machine not work as soon as you, as soon as the fridge recognizes the filter you replace is not LG. Water is water. It makes no sense for the ice maker to stop working because it's not an LG filter. It just shows a product is no longer yours even after you paid for it.

Is there any issue with ice maker in Samsung bespoke refrigerators where the ice maker is located inside deep freezer section?
I have a LG and the icemaker works fine but sometimes will not stop dispencing when the glass is pulled away!
Can you tell me why the ice maker is building ice on the right hand side of the tray to the point tha it can’t be removed ?
My water dispenser & ice dispenser will not work & the light that comes on when opening the refrigerator sometimes comes in & sometimes wont come on. All this started at the same time. Suggestions please!!

Have Frigidaire fridge and put new filter and last week made one thing of ice and now no ice,water?
Thin Q…ice fell but ice tray got stuck and won’t go back up flat. Any thoughts
Samsung side by side. Replaced filter. Icemaker working. Thank you
One more thing to check for new units. My brand new Whirlpool side by side would not make ice. Turns out, the electrical connector at the back of the ice maker was never plugged in when it was assembled at the factory.
I did the button test and the right side of the tray causes it not to rotate fully. What do I do? We’ve had the fridge for a couple hours.
I don't use a lot of ice, and I've heard ice makers will shut down if not used/emptied. How do I re-trigger it? See no reset button.
Great show
Leaking if ice maker on.
Cannot remove bin on my Whirlpool side by side.
Thank you, very helpful.👍
What about plumbed LG fridge?

I can’t get the bin out!
My water isn’t cold either, and it’s on the lowest temp (also, stuck on Celsius!).

Why in the world would they install a laser (just one more electrical problem to go wrong) rather than a mechanical limit switch?
