If your water dispenser works but the ice maker does not, check the ice maker’s power switch to ensure it’s on. Inspect the water supply line for kinks or blockages, and verify that the ice maker’s water inlet valve is open and functioning. Examine the ice maker’s control arm (if it has one) to ensure it’s not stuck in the off position. Performing these checks can help diagnose and resolve common issues with ice production.
