Question Ice maker fill tube frozen
Brand: Amana
Model Number: TR21S4W
Age: 5 - 10 years

I have removed the infill tube that was frozen solid and thawed it with a hair dryer. After replacing, the ice maker did a couple of cycles then the filler tube froze again. I am not getting water into the ice maker tray.

My experience with mine is that the water inlet valve continues to drip after it fills the ice cube tray and the water gradually freezes in the fill tube blocking the water flow when it tries to fill again. I disconnected the ice maker line coming out of the water inlet valve and observed a slow drip. How to check it here. Refrigerator Repair Guide: How to Check the Water Inlet Valve - ACME HOW TO.com

Hi,

Low water pressure to the refrigerator will case many problems like this for the ice makers.
