Chosen Solution
Model: WRS555SIHZ00 Several days ago my ice maker was not dispensing water into the ice tray to make ice. I have replaced the ice maker only for it to make one batch of ice and then completely stop. Last issue, the back panel on the inside of the freezer developed frost and made my fridge stop cooling which force me to unplug the entire refrigerator to melt any build-up for 24 hours. After plugging it back in, the ice maker resumed making ice normally and my fridge was cooling again. Fast forward to now, the ice maker is back to not dispensing water into the tray, but everything else is working fine. I’m a bit paranoid as this fridge has been nothing but problems in the 3 years I’ve owned it. I’m sure it’s bound to seize up again having to defrost it. The freezer coils were replaced in February 2021, even though the fridge was bought brand new in March 2020. Current temps for freezer/fridge are: 5 degrees / 39 degrees.
Hi @socrasteeze Looking at the tech sheet for the refrigerator, the ice maker water inlet valve gets it power to operate from P1- 3 on the Defrost Control and Filter Indicator board. There is no circuit showing the wiring in the ice maker but presumably there is a sensor switch (float arm?) that either closes or opens the water valve circuit depending on whether it detects that there is enough water in the ice maker or not. Maybe check if there is 115V AC on the board pin connector P1-3 and also at the ice maker water inlet valve (supplier example only) in case it is a wiring problem between the two points. Note: there are two valves in the assembly, one for the water dispenser the other for the ice maker. Be safety aware as you’re testing for AC voltage
