RE: [BlindHandyMan] No ice cubes
Lee, My side by side is a Whirlpool from Sears and it has that blamed bail which, occasionally, gets stuck in the "up" position and no one notices until there is no ice coming forth. (LOL) I also want to complain bitterly about how hard that bail is to reach. I have fixed the little top tray affair on the ice maker's hopper so that I can just raise it up and reach the blasted bail.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] No ice cubes
If you have to get someone in to look at it, try someone besides the Sears repair guys, like a maytag repair person. Probably be cheaper.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] No ice cubes
definitely do something else. They charged a friend $150 to hook up a new refrigerator that has water and ice. A bout a month later he discovered that they hooked it into the hot water line. The only way he found it was he went to get a drink while the dish washer was running. Anyway they wanted another $120 to come out and correct the problem. That was in the Memphis area or I would have done it for him. - Original Message - From: "Lee A.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] No ice cubes
I just sent this checklist to the one who is , well non supportive of whatever. yes we get cold water from the spicket in front and it has the auto select for ice cubes, crushed ice and so on. only one tube feeds the machine from down in the basement but will have them check oh forgot, yes it says with the new filter to purge it by tapping out I think 2 galons of water? to activate the filter.so give me 21 hours to finish a couple of cold ones and until someone will listen to other suggestions. at this time I think it is safer in Iraq.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] No ice cubes
Betsey, thre is like a metal wire loop which flips up or down that if it is not touching ice cubes in the bucket then the ice cube tray fills with water and later dumps until the same said ice bucket is full.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] No ice cubes
This was a problem on several models when they changed the filter. First question. Do you get cold water through the dispenser? Some guys would change the filter and not purge the line which can cause an air bubble. If the cold water runs through the door, then check to make sure there isn't a separate line feeding the ice maker. The valve may be closed at the back of the fridge. Next, check the arm on the ice maker. If it is up, 90 degrees to the tray, that is in the off position. Flip it down and see if you hear water run. The water running isn't always instant after flipping the lever back down. There is a timer in place and solenoids and all that fun stuff. Check this and see if everything is as it should be. - Original Message - From: Lee A.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] No ice cubes
Aloha Lee, Haven't had an ice maker for many years, but I seem to remember that you could turn off the ice maker. I wonder if they turned it off when they installed the filter and forgot to turn it back on, or if they turned off the water valve and didn't turn it back on.
