Default Water not getting to ice maker
Brand: Frigidaire
Model Number: FRS26W2AW3
Age: 5 - 10 years

Hi... I can't understand why I'm not getting water to my (green) hose that leads to my icemaker. My fridge is making ice, but very, very little. It's been plugged in for 3 days now and I only have maybe 10 cubes in the tray. What's wrong?

The water inlet valve on the back of unit opens when the ice maker needs water.

A strainer before the inlet valve can get stopped up restricting flow.


Have you tried swapping the wires which plug into the solenoid at the inlet valve.

This way the water dispenser should send water to the ice maker and you can see if it works. or check water inlet valve here. Refrigerator Repair Guide: How to Check the Water Inlet Valve - ACME HOW TO.com
