An automatic residential refrigerator ice maker can stop working due to a variety of mechanical, electrical, or plumbing failures. The most common cause is a frozen or blocked water supply fill tube where residual water droplets freeze over the nozzle, preventing fresh water from entering the mold tray. Other frequent culprits include a closed household water supply saddle valve behind the fridge, a kinked water line, a tripped or jammed bail arm sensor, a defective water inlet valve solenoid, or a freezer temperature set too high above zero degrees Fahrenheit. You can troubleshoot by inspecting water lines and freezer temperatures. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when clearing ice blockages, lowering freezer settings, or opening closed water valves restores regular ice production.
