Troubleshooting a Samsung Refrigerator icemaker Not Working but Water Does

When your Samsung refrigerator icemaker is not working but the water dispenser still functions, it can be a perplexing problem. Understanding the potential causes can help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue efficiently.

Icemaker Assembly Issues

If your Samsung refrigerator is not making ice but water works, a faulty icemaker assembly could be the culprit. The icemaker collects water, freezes it into cubes, and dispenses the ice. When this unit malfunctions, it may not complete these tasks, leading to no ice production. Look for signs of damage or malfunction in the icemaker. If you suspect the icemaker is faulty, scheduling a repair appointment with Sears Home Services can ensure the problem is professionally addressed.

Clogged or Frozen Icemaker Fill Tube

A clogged or frozen icemaker fill tube can also be the reason your refrigerator isn’t making ice but water works. This tube supplies water to the icemaker. If blocked or frozen, it prevents water from reaching the icemaker, stopping ice production. Inspect the fill tube for blockages or ice buildup and clear any obstructions. If the issue persists, a Sears Home Services technician can inspect and clear the fill tube to restore proper icemaker function.

Malfunctioning Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

A malfunctioning PCB can disrupt ice production while the water dispenser remains functional. The PCB controls the icemaker’s water supply and freezing cycles. If it fails, the icemaker won’t receive the correct signals, halting ice production. Check the PCB for visible damage or signs of failure. If you suspect the PCB is at fault, a professional technician from Sears Home Services can diagnose and replace it, ensuring your icemaker works correctly.
