Why Won’t My Ice Maker Work?

Another top refrigerator failure in the Houston area involves the ice maker not working—and you definitely need ice in this area.

You can find plenty of DIY troubleshooting advice for your ice maker on YouTube, but ice makers have become much more complicated to fix nowadays. For example, check out this advanced technical explanation of the ice maker on a common Frigidaire refrigerator.

Figuring out what’s wrong with that ice maker on your own can be a nightmare. Many ice makers in newer refrigerators are just as complicated as that one. Trust the professionals at Houston Appliance Repair to fix your ice maker when it’s too complicated to find and fix the problem yourself.

Some ice maker problems involve the dispenser instead of the actual ice maker. The ice maker may be making ice but the dispenser on the door of the fridge won’t drop the ice in your glass when you hold it depress the dispensing lever. Fixing an ice dispenser on a modern refrigerator is often complicated because manufactures design dispensers that look sleek and attractive but are often difficult to disassemble.

You’ll often need to pry off parts of the dispenser after removing hidden screws to get to broken dispenser parts. Here’s an example of how to disassemble the dispenser on a common GE refrigerator.

It’s often best to have a Houston Appliance Repair Technician complete a repair on a complicated ice dispenser rather than attempting to fix the problem yourself. Even if you’re able to take apart the dispenser, you’ll need to accurately diagnose the ice dispensing problem to complete the repair yourself. Call in a professional when needed.

Why Won’t My Refrigerator Turn On?

Although less prevalent than other refrigerator failure, a completely dead refrigerator is the most catastrophic failure.

The good news is, it’s a failure that you can often fix on your own.

The main causes of a dead refrigerator involve problems with the power supply going to the fridge rather than a failure with the refrigerator itself. Checking to make sure that the fridge is plugged into a working outlet can often resolve the issue with a dead refrigerator. Resetting the circuit breaker can often restore power to the fridge when it won’t turn on.

When those simple DIY troubleshooting fixes don’t help, you’ll likely need to have a service technician repair the fridge. Don’t hesitate to schedule an Appliance Repair in Houston to fix your refrigerator when your fridge won’t work at all.
