It could be the solenoid where your water line comes in from the wall and sends it up to the freezer. Follow your water line to the bottom of the frige it could either be in the back or the front. Might try looking under the fridge to see if you can see it that way.

Kenmore side by side,no water going into the the Ice maker

"IF" the unit worked before the filter change you have to check a few things. First I want you to run a few cups of water from the in door water dispenser to make sure that all the air is out of the line and out of the filter. IF you encounter any sputtering in doing this it means that the air is coming out of the system. Keep it up until the sputtering stops then let it make ice until the cubes come out. Most of the time the air in the filter takes a few days to process thru the system and start filling the ice tray.
Second if the water comes thru ok without sputtering after five cups then check where the water goes into the back of the freezer compartment. disconnect the fitting and check for ice at that point. if ice get a pan of hot water and dip that end into it to melt the ice in the tube and then afterwards, reinstall it in the back of the fridge and make some ice. You can verify that it is not a valve problem by putting the tube end in a plastic container and letting the ice maker go thru a cycle or two. water should come out and be in the container in the amount of water it takes to fill the ice maker tray.
Third, is the check process of item two. Verify if water comes thru the tubing to fill the ice maker, If not, turn off the water valve supplying the fridge and check for grit in the line clogging the opening in the valve. if grit is present clean it as best you can. IF you have the proper tools and knowledge you can back flush the valve and remove the grit blocking the valve..
This should clear the line and verify proper working of the water control valve and filter. If at any point you have a failure in the checking process it should point you to the failure rather easily. If you suspect it is the valve verify from the label on it the operating voltage and IF, AND ONLY IF, you have a knowledge of electricity and test procedures test the valve with the proper voltage applied. IF you do not understand electricity, do not do it. you might injure yourself or worse.

Goodluck in your testing.

The ice maker

see this causes and fix it. God bless you

Makes to much ice or won't shut off.

Check shutoff arm. This may be hung up on ice or food item.

Makes no ice.

Check shutoff arm. Check to make sure it is getting water, check water solenoid. Check water supply line it may be frozen or plugged up. Check freezer temperature to low of a temperature could cause the line to freeze up. Check for power at motor. You will need to remove the ice maker. Find the leads that go to the auger and connect a voltmeter. Press the dispenser lever you should have power if not replace the control board or micro switch. Check control switch or microswitch. Put icemaker in test mode. Only some are equipped.

Ice cubes to large or small.

Adjust size by removing cover and turn adjustment screw + or -. Check water solenoid. Check water supply line. Make sure it is level.

Ice tastes bad

Clean ice tray. Check supply line. Check water solenoid. Change filter. Run at least a 3 gallons of water thru the line after replacing filter this will flush all old water.

Ice is discolored.

Check water solenoid. Check supply line. Change filter. Clean ice tray. Run at least a 3 gallons of water thru the line after replacing filter this will flush all old water.

Most ice maker problems require either replacing the ice maker unit or the ice dispenser control board or micro switches.

I have a GE Profile Model PSC23NGPA side by side refrigerator and recently the dispensed water tastes mildewed or something. I usually replace the filter and it corrects it. This time the filter didn't...

The bad taste in the water rarely comes from the refrigerator itself and 99% of the time comes from the water supply. If I had to guess, I would say that there is some kind of flexible line hooking your fridge up to the house. Either braided stainless steel or an opaque whitish rubber line and that will be the culprit. (attached pic shows both types)

They are usually used because they bend easily and are very abrasion resistant however I have found over the years that something within the rubber lining makes the water taste horrible! It does not happen right away and I have seen it occur between 8 months to several years after initial install date.

If you have this type then have it replaced with copper line only with precautions to avoid damage when moving the unit in or out. Install the filter bypass and flush it for several days by letting the icemaker run normally while dumping the bucket and getting glasses of water with at least a minute or two break in between so you do not overheat the water valve.

Let us know if this helps/corrects the issue

Been sitting for a while, filled with fuel, turn on runs for 5-10 secs then shuts off and light blinks ?? model 3ve51

You need to pull a little maintenance on this unit. Locate and remove the burner tray, on the tray you will find a flame sensor, this detects flame and permits the unit to run. These collect carbon deposits, dirt and the occasional insect seeking shelter. So clean it with windex and a soft terry cloth rag. Next is the fuel nozzle, find it , remove it, and they say you can not clean these but I say q-tips, tooth pick and carb cleaner will do the trick just be careful not to damage the nozzle. Directly behind the nozzle is a screen these like to corrode durring storage, so clean it good too. Put assembly back together and inspect all fuel lines for holes, leaks,or dry rotten conditions. Now inspect fuel lines to the filter, if an in line filter (small plastic filter) clean with compressed air and blow gun, blow air backwards thru the filter instantly cleaned. If a large oil type filter replace it with a new one and do not forget to fill the filter before putting it on.Make sure that your fuel is clean and no water has developed in it from condensation, if water is present drain fuel and clean out the tank put new fuel in and it should now work for you. Happy heating

We have RUUD AC, in second floor , that has a white pvc ope connected to condensate drain. other end of this pipe is inerted into large pipe neanr wall. looks a drain outlet. In the middle of this white...

Hello, W/D here.

There are a couple of things you need to check:
Look at where the drain connects to the A/C unit. There should be another pvc line right next to where the drain connects. This is the clean out/flush line, and is used for adding algeside to the tray internally, which thens go out the drain. Most importantly, there is a 1/8" hole between them, and usually, it's very hard to see. Make sure that this hole is open. If it is plugged, the condensate cannot drain from the unit while the unit is running and will create havoc with your drain system. The 'tee in the drain line is an air vent/vacuum breaker and can be used for a cleanout, but try the little vent hole trick first. Your drain line from the unit should be sloped to your house drain. If you do not have a clean out connection at your unit, then you can clean from the tee to the wall. Put one cup of white vinegar into the tee. It will work as well as bleach, without the corrosiveness of the bleach. If you have a cleanout on the unit, put the vinegar in there, and restart the unit, as the vinegar needs to get flushed by the condensate.
Your tray is designed to catch any leakage, and should drain to the outside. Look for your drain line and clear it. Tray drains generally plug at the ends, and not usually in the middle. You can clean the pan drain with a piece of stiff wire. I like to use electrical solid core wire, #12. Pass it dowh the drain from the pan, and back up the drain from the outside. Chase it with water. Usually the pluggage is either insulation, or dirt dobbers.
Best wishes and regards, W/D

The water that comes out of my refrigerator tastes musty.

If you have a water dispencer on the door of the fridge, and it taste funny, it has nothing with the inside
of the fridge. You could have a dead body in it and it would not do anything to the drinking water.

There should be a filter for the water, you need to look at the manual and see where the filter is
so it can be replaced. If the unit does not have one I would put one in just before the water line
enters the unit. If the line comes up from basement, then the best place is in basement just below
unit where it goes up through floor, this way a good unit with replaceable cartridge can be used.
The larger the unit usually means more time before replacement, volume of water run through it.

If there is mold growing on the plastic water line that runs through the fridge, I would believe that after
very long periods of time that it could leach through the line. 50/50/10 Bleach and water and 10%
dish detergent. If you can clean as much of the line that you can get to with this,then it should stop this.

Does this have any kind of a drain in the bottom of this unit, let the solution of this cleaner go down
and if this flows into a tray, clean tray. You can also cover the drain, fill the area with enough of just a 50/50 water/bleach mix so that it goes over the seams at the bottom, this way say something leaked out of this area there is a chance that the mix will stop this from smelling. This would be
in the last ditch effort, because it is not recommend. You should leave a box of baking soda in each compartment fridge/freez.

Any questions please post back.

The water solinoid is not sending water to my ice tray

Had the same problem. As long as the ice machine is still moving, meaning its working but just no water is getting to the ice tray.  order part #2205762 valve, solenoid and change it out.  It is not hard to do if you pay attention to how you take the old one out.
