Default Ice maker in Amana
Brand: Amana
Model Number: SCD23VW
Age: 5 - 10 years



My ice maker was making hollow ice cubes, but not all of them were hollow just maybe half the tray and now it just stop making ice all together. I pulled everything out shut down the freezer section and then tried it again cause I thought maybe it might be froze, but nothing. We have good water pressure to the fridge but just not to the ice maker.

Check the water pressure at the fridge.

Shut the water supply to the fridge.

Remove the line at the back of the fridge.

Hold the line in a bucket and have someone turn the water back on.

If the flow is good then you will have to clean or replace the valve on the fridge.

Here is a link to your fridge model SCD23VW.

All you have to do is take the valve apart and rinse the dirt out with water.

Here is your valve.
