How do you repair an ice maker on an Amana refrigerator if it is not receiving water after it passes through pipe in the back?
Check the water solenoid valves. On our Kenmore the valves had begun to stick causing the ice maker to fail as it is a timed cycle to fill the tray.
How do you fix the water and ice dispenser for Amana side-by-side ssd25tw Ice maker still makes ices though?
It sounds like you have a piece of ice stuck in the ice maker, so you don't damage the ice makers fins by prying out the ice by hand, I suggest you completely defrost it, and plug it back in.
Which refrigerators, with built-in ice makers, have an additional power switch for the ice maker?
GE, Haier, Frigidaire, Amana and Danby all have additional power switches for the icemaker.
Why does your ice maker overflow?
If you mean ice cubes overflowing, then there is probably something in the ice bin that is deflecting the ice cubes, as they fall from the ice maker. If it is something other than that, on some ice makers you can slightly bend the arm (the arm that sets the ice cube maker to go on & off) downwards to detect a full ice cube bin, by bending it downwards the bin will not fill as much, be careful when bending.If you mean the water overflows when the ice cube maker is filling the water into the trays, then there is an adjustment screw under the cover of the ice cube maker, look close and there will be a small "+ and -" indicator, adjust the screw to the minus ("-") side and this will decrease the amount of water that flows into the tray. NOTE: this will make your ice cubes smaller.
Ice maker Refrigerator Repair?
Most refrigerators in use today have ice makers that may stop working from time to time. The refrigerator’s ice maker receives its water supply from a water valve. The water valve is the first component of the refrigerator that should be checked when there is a malfunction with the ice maker. To operate, the ice maker closes an electric circuit enabling the water valve to open. Water will then flow through the water valve into the ice maker. The ice maker will then begin the process of making ice cubes and placing them in the ice tray. The water valve has a filter that keeps out particles from entering into the ice maker through the water supply. These particles can sometimes build up at the water valve filter and may even block the flow of water to the ice maker. When the flow of water in the water valve is restricted due to build up, it can cause the still water freeze in the valve. One solution is to heat the water valve with a hair dryer to melt the ice buildup in the ice maker. Be careful not to heat the plastic of the refrigerator too much causing it to melt. These particles can also lock the valve in the open position filling up the ice maker to excess. Sometimes an open solenoid coil winding can cause the valve to remain closed. This will not allow the water to flow to the ice maker as the plunger remains closed. In order to do further tests on the refrigerator to determine the fault with the ice maker is to test the current flow. This will not only be a safer measure for you as you attempt to repair your ice maker, but will also ensure the various components are operating as they should. Your diagnosis will most likely be related to the water valve, but if your refrigerator is old it could mean your ice maker needs to be replaced. Occasionally the electrical connections can sometimes get short circuited or disconnected during use. Thoroughly examine all the parts of your refrigerator with the proper tools and testing equipment.
What would cause a refrigerator ice maker to overflow and run water into the ice cube tray?
DIRTY ICE MAKER WATER VALVE OR BROKEN VALVE
Does this have an ice maker?
This unit has a water dispenser on the front but not one for ice.
What would cause a Kenmore ice maker to stop getting water when the water in the door works fine and gets water?
The water line where it enters the ice maker could possibly be frozen.
What does a water inlet valve on Ice maker do?
Opens and closes an internal valve to provide/cut-off water to the icemaker - responds to pressure signal from the ice-maker to deliver/cutoff water - ice-maker signal activates an electric solenoid that open/closes the valve for water flow.
Maytag side by side has a new ice maker and a new water pump but the water is not getting to the ice maker what should you check next?
The water pipe from the pump to the ice maker is quite thin; check it to see that it is not plugged. Check to see that there is water also at the inlet to the water pump. If there is not, check that the pipe leading to the water pump is not plugged.

What would cause an ice maker to make dirty ice The drinking water that comes out is clean and clear however when you get ice and add water to it you notice tiny little flakes and particles floating?
1. Impurities in the so-called clean water. 2. Impurities from the ice maker.
