How to handle an icemaker that isn't making ice

Listen First

• When you push your glass against the ice dispenser, do you hear anything?
• There should be a rumbling sound from the auger inside the ice bin as it turns. If there’s a rumble and no ice, it means there’s ice stuck in the chute in the door that needs to be cleared out. (I’ll show you how to do this below.)
• If you hear a hum and no rumble, that means the auger is stuck and can’t spin. Emptying the bin and reloading the ice should fix it.
• If there’s no noise at all, it means the dispenser switch is broken and you should call in a pro to replace it.
• If you can hear the auger turning, nothing’s clogging the chute but there’s still no ice, it’s time to check the water supply.
