Had the ice maker on this freezer on the bottom refrigerator turned off, with the water line disconnected, for 2-3 days while we worked on the kitchen floor. Prior to this, the ice maker was producing good ice. The refrigerator remained on during this period.

I replaced the filter last night, then turned on the water and the ice maker. Nothing has happened since, except I hear a creaking noise in the freezer compartment. Have set the ice maker lever to the Off position, while I try to determine what the problem is.

Have verified water is flowing, at least into the back of the unit (I'm guessing that is the inlet solenoid).

How can I determine if the unit has "frozen" up? If so, can I simply remove the ice maker and let it thaw out?

thanks

To do the testing on the ice maker you will need a multi meter.

Here is a link on how to test your ice maker.

Here is a link to your fridge model BR22TL.

Spent a few minutes with a hair dryer. Was able to free up the mechanism in the ice maker. It was able to complete the cycle. Now will see if it will make new ice.

Problem solved (at least it spit out some ice a few minutes ago).

thanks
