I have a Frigidaire Professional fridge and the top ice maker does not make ice while the bottom one in my freezer works. Any ideas on why this would be happening? The water pressure is fine.
One of the water lines may be clogged.
Once I do all of my troubleshooting things and it won't work, I go for the big guns and call the company. They usually can give me info that works the first time...or tell me if it needs a pro.
I do this because I learned the hard way that sometimes if you do to much with appliances (fridges, washers and dryers are THE WORST) you end up with a way worse problem than you started and double the bill. So my two cents to help is call the company:
Frigidaire customer service is THE worst I have ever dealt with. 8 service calls for a brand new refrigerator for ice maker not working. They would not replace the refrigerator only said their warranty is to keep trying to fix it. The fridge is garbage. I will never buy a Frigidaire again.
You are right - Frigidaire customer service is no help. I bought the top of the line refrigerator. Recently I was not getting any water or ice cubes. Pulled the refrigerator out and it was stuck to my sheet rock - there is an ice ball the size of a soft ball on the back side of my refrigerator - the water line was frozen into it. The whole back of my refrigerator is rusted not sure if it is through the back of the refrigerator.

Our Frigidaire mf12269drm01 refrigerator worked perfectly till we added RO under the sink. We removed the filter and installed a bypass plug. Water from the door flows good and cold. However the ice maker stopped working altogether.
Thanks for your help.
The lines to the refrigerator sound like they are blocked because of the filter you had installed. I would try clean out the lines and make sure they are no longer blocked and water can flow freely again.
Why did the ice maker stop working after changing the water filter on a 3 door Frigidaire refrigerator? There is no water or ice feature on the door.
Either the filter is defective or it was installed incorrectly.
Our ice maker stopped working because it was frozen up. We removed it (check youtube--it's usually pretty easy) and set it outside until it completely thawed out. When we put it back it worked fine.
A few years later, we repeated the process, and when it didn't fix it a 3rd time, we bought a new one on ebay for less than $50.
I have the same problem! Theres only one way to install the water filter! Virtually idiot proof which I am not. LOL
It dispenses water from the front but its not filling the ice trays. It worked prior to replacing the filter which has me baffled!!
The filter has two tits on it, one that lets water in and one that lest the filtered water out to the fridge. ????
How do I remove the ice maker from a Fridgidaire Electrolux mdl #lfht1831qp0?
The name and numbers for your Frigidaire does not show up in the list of refrigerators listed on the Frigidaire website so I was unable to determine the type/model you have. Maybe someone else will have better luck with that.
My Frigidaire model FFHS2611LWF ice maker arm spring came off inside the ice maker arm. What do I hook it on after I get the spring on the arm?
There is a Frigidaire help line. www.repairclinic.com/
Hopefully they can point you in the right direction.
If it is still under warranty or it was recalled for that issue, you should be able to get it fixed for free.
My ice maker quit making ice. Water is dispensing in front. I replaced the dual water inlet valve. Water is dispensing in front, but still no water in ice maker tray. Manually it makes ice. Why isn't it getting water in the tray? Do I need to replace the micro switch (inlet switch)?

Any luck getting the ice tray to fill? I have same problem and am planning to replace the solenoid valve that you mentioned replacing - to see if it helps send water to the ice tray; The tray arms aren't spinning either to try to spit out whatever would be in the tray ( once ice forms there if I can get water to go there.
I may have to replace the ice maker tray mechanism also - any thoughts?
OK. A little background first. I have worked on everything from cranes, tanks, appliances, cars, engine rebuild, industrial plant maint, and of course this ice maker. I have a fridgidaire gallery french door fridge with the upper ice maker. I too had issues with it. In my case the tray and thermistor fractured. I replaced the ice maker assembly. After replacing the ice maker, the tray must be filled with water. Underneath the front kick plate is a tech sheet. It has instructions on how to troubleshoot the fridge and to manually activate certain operations. One of these is to cycle the tray/fill.
My other issue is that the ice maker will make a full bin of ice, then it will stop making ice until I unplug the fridge for a minute and then plug it back in. Not sure what causes this, so if anyone knows, let me know. I think it may have something to do with the door switches bc it will also kick in sometimes when I fiddle with those. Not positive until I either replace them or do more t.s. on it. I hope this helps somewhat.
I have a Frigidaire ice maker model #M1 SA8868 . It is getting no power on main black wire where should I look? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Have you tried the Repair Clinic? I seem to remember I was able to find information off their website for my Whirlpool.

The schematic for the unit is probably in a package in the back or bottom of the fridge. If you are relatively handy, you can follow it to end your problem. Of course you should be sure the connections are tight. It may be just that simple.
I installed my icemaker myself and aside from locating the wiring harness, it all came together perfectly. Frigidaire was a little less than helpful in procuring the harness, but I managed to find it on ebay.
The unit is working fine and yours probably will too. Recheck the installation. Good luck.
I have a Frigidaire side by side. I replaced the filter, I replaced the icemaker, I checked the water hose from pump to icemaker all clear, but there is still no ice. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Make sure the freezer temperature is around zero degrees Fahrenheit. If the refrigerator is operating at the proper temperature, the icemaker or water valve could be defective.
I have a side by side Frigidaire that is about 2 months out of warranty...go figure. I first noticed the water was slowing down and then a few days later I noticed the ice tray was almost empty, but the arm was down to make ice. I checked the water line into the back of the fridge and it had good flow. The filter change indicator never came on, but I changed the filter anyway. I have an under sink RO system so the filter should not need changing anyway. Any ideas?

Need to check inside freezer where water comes into the ice maker. Sometimes they clog up. May pick up a used ice maker and see if it will work.
I just turned on my newly installed ice maker (Frigidaire Gallery), but there was only a short sound of water entering the unit. Do I have to purge the line or something? The unit is getting power and I did observe the fingers slowly rotating. Curious.

Common sense would tell me that if you hired someone to install it, you should contact them about the problem since it is under a warranty. Now if you did the installation yourself call a professional and ask their opinion of what the problem is.
I have a Frigidaire refrigerator, frs23fcdq0. The ice maker makes no ice. The water dispenser shoots water, but no ice. Sometimes it will make a batch, but the ice cubes are half the normal size.
By fcruz
It could be that your water line is frozen. I have had this happen when either my freezer or refrigerator is too packed. It will thaw out eventually, although slowly, if you unpack it a bit (assuming that's the problem).
Or you can try transferring everything to coolers and turn the fridge off for a day to allow the water tubes to thaw out.
I have also heard you can move the fridge away from the wall and heat the tubes up with a hair dryer to try to get the water running freely.
My ice maker is not working; someone said it could be called "water snot". It is a Frigidaire. This just started a week ago. It was making ice, but not full cubes, just partial.

Hey Steve, my icemaker did a similar thing after I installed it. I didn't have time to mess with it right then, but when I got back to it, the bin was full. I think it had something to do with the water line. They can be finicky when first installed, but seem to work themselves out. In any case it is working great now, and were building igloos in PA. Unless a component failed, yours will probably start working fine. Don't sweat it. Just give it a little time. The ice fairy will hook you up. Good luck with it. Iceman
My Frigidaire will not fill the ice bin for the door dispenser. What could be wrong?
By bosard
The ice maker quit working on my Frigidaire Elite. Now I notice occasional spray leakage in back at the water inlet connection.
By H Miller
The ice maker on my Frigidaire side-by-side clicks constantly as soon as the arm on the ice maker is down. Water drips into the ice tray and down the front of the water dispenser. I have replaced the water valve, have good water pressure and the hoses aren't leaking that I can see.

My Frigidaire ice maker is cycling, but no water is released into the ice maker. Can the water valve freeze up, or has it broken?
Our Frigidaire icemaker quit working and we can't afford another one. Any suggestions? we had installed a new filter about 10 days earlier.
