Sometimes, the easiest solution is the answer! First, check your JennAir control panel and make sure that the ice maker is set to “on.” If it isn’t, turn it on and wait to make sure it’s working.
If it is set to on, you can try a hard reset on your fridge to see if that solves the problem. Here’s what to do.
The next step is to make sure that the ejector arm of your JennAir ice maker isn’t obstructed or jammed. This can happen if your ice maker tries to harvest ice that is not fully frozen—water can then spill and freeze on the ejector arm, freezing the mechanism in place and preventing your ice maker from working properly. Here’s how to fix it:
It may sound obvious, but your ice maker can’t work without a water supply! If water isn’t flowing to the ice maker, you may notice it making a buzzing noise as it tries to make ice without water. You may also notice items in your fridge start freezing, or food in your crisper drawers may ice up. If this is your issue, check the following things:
Water filters should be changed regularly to ensure your water is kept clean and fresh. If you don’t change the filter frequently enough, the filter can get blocked by minerals and debris, which prevents water from flowing to your JennAir ice maker. If you’ve recently installed a water filter and your ice maker has suddenly stopped working, the issue could be that you’ve installed it incorrectly. Here’s how to check:
If your freezer thermostat is set too low, your ice maker won’t be able to make ice. Ideally, your freezer should be set at or below 0°F (-18°C). Check the setting on your thermostat, and adjust if necessary.
If the thermostat is set to the correct temperature, but the ice maker isn’t working, and the freezer doesn’t seem cold enough, you may have a faulty thermostat. Here’s what to do:
