Ice Maker Notes for This Area
In North Arlington's 1930s and 1940s houses, the refrigerator's water line was added decades after the kitchen was built. It usually tees off a copper or plastic pipe in the basement and comes up through a hole in the floor behind the fridge. The newer houses may also have a standalone undercounter ice maker in a kitchen island or a basement bar, which needs both a water line and a drain or drain pump.
Following the water to the ice maker
The first check is the supply. We confirm the valve is fully open and measure flow at the back of the refrigerator, because a narrowed saddle valve or a line pinched behind the fridge starves the fill. If the water filter is due, we test without it. Next the freezer temperature is read, since most ice makers wait for a cold enough mold before cycling. Then we look for ice in the fill tube, test the inlet valve solenoid, and force a harvest cycle to check the ejector motor, thermostat and bin sensor. Undercounter units add a water distribution tray, a condenser and a drain path that also get checked.
Basement supply lines and bar ice makers
If the refrigerator's water line runs across an unheated part of a basement, insulate it before winter. Standalone ice makers in a basement bar need their drain to fall freely or a working drain pump. Clean their water system on the schedule the manufacturer gives, since scale builds on the evaporator plate.

Ice Maker Repair: Your Questions

Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
Usually not. Ice absorbs odors from the freezer, and an overdue filter or a seldom-used ice bin makes it worse. Empty and wash the bin, replace the filter, and check for open food containers. If the taste persists, the water line itself may need flushing or replacement.
