fridgidare side by side ice maker issue

[woodsman23]

My ice maker is not working and was just fine. i opened the freezer and seen Frozen water everywhere including the ice bin. i removed the bin and melted the frozen water at the bottom and reinstalled, put down the arm for the ice maker but no dice no ice being made. Is there a way to reset the ice maker or maybe a frozen water feed line??.

Make sure the fill tube feeding into the ice maker is not frozen. I see this a lot. I bet you have a water valve not seating and allowing the water to trickle into the ice maker causing all that ice build up. Good luck

Try leaving the door open for a while or un-thawing the ice maker with a hair dryer. I had mine freeze up once.

If you can find the water feed line and get to it, use a hair dryer to thaw the line and you may be OK. I have had to do this a few times on a Maytag. I hope this helps!

...use a hair dryer to thaw the line ...

Can a hair dryer do both? %-P

Not sure, may have to use a heat gun for one. ;-)

Nothing has worked maybe the water valve / solenoid is shot?? how does one check this.

Put 120v on the coil. If the ice maker fills, bad ice maker.
