my ice maker isn't making ice

[NMDemDist2]

it cycles but no water runs in

:banghead:

the darned refer is less than 18 months old!

according to several websites, the fill valves go south regularly

hubby's back is out and it's no fun to have to mess with it on a holiday weekend

:argh:

It's on a new Kenmore, the icemaker is marked "M1"

1. Sounds like you're now in the "bags of ice" club

How's it going? Is hubby's back making some recovery?

Hope you're having a good day no matter what.

4. we fixed it somehow

we took the valve/solenoid all apart and I whacked it with a hammer, we flushed the valves put it back together and it's working fine now

dunno what was up with that :shrug:

his back is still bad but getting better

we got SNOW today and went to a pot luck so it's a been a good day

I cooked a turkey and dressing and it came out excellent so I'm a happy camper :bounce:

hope you guys had a great day too! :hi:

2. If it's new, it's under warranty

but there's no telling how long it'll take a repairman to drag his arse out there and replace the solenoid.

It could be worse, you know. It could have gotten stuck in the "on" position.

3. warranty expired 3 months ago of course

:banghead:

but we got it going again :shrug:

5. I'm glad you got it working

Our kkkenmore did that last month, but it more than just the icemaker. It took THREE sears/kkkenmore visits to find out and fix it. The last one put some in some freon.
>>>knock.on.wood<<< going on two weeks and freezer temp stays around zero...boy it makes ice now!
