I did pull pretty hard (yesterday) – it moved but would not release. It does seem like it’s being restricted by something that is not rigid. I just tried inspecting with flashlight, per your suggestion. I can’t see anything resembling a “block of ice”, but I’m not sure I can actually see either the fill cup or the fill tube …

Well, I finally got the fridge pulled out to access the fill tube cover. The water tube leading to it was empty, no sign of frozen, etc. So I decided to take a chance and pull on the ice maker assy even harder. It came out – grudgingly, but out. There was ice in the fill cup. I melted it with a hair dryer, per the video, and also used it to dry the whole assy. Let’s hope that was the issue. We had the water off a couple times about the time this problem began, while working on a plumbing issue elsewhere in the house. In fact there was a piece of debris frozen in the ice cup. I’m going to let the unit readjust to the cold before re-installing it – please cross your fingers. Meanwhile, getting the fridge back into its niche: This fridge sits so low that something always scratches the hardwood when I move it. So the last time I had it out (3 years ago) I put a piece of 5/16″ plywood under it. Problem is now the bottom part of the body sits right on top of the plywood, creating a ton of resistance to being moved. Seems to me the rollers should have been mounted a bit lower, or be adjustable, but I have never found any way to adjust them. Any suggestions? Tom

Sorry there is no way that I am aware of to adjust the rollers they are just held in by pins.

Thanks anyway. Just put the ice maker back into place. Is there a way to manually initiate a fill cycle?
-
You can but it’s difficult with this unit once it’s back in place you would need to remove the icemaker cover and insert a jumper wire from T To H on the head unit to bypass the thermostat while holding the door switch down. Or you can just Gove it time once the icemaker thermostat reads 8 degrees it should cycle automatically.
-
OK, I’ll wait. ………….. I’m curious: assuming the ice in the fill cup was the problem, what sort of sensor prevented it from trying to refill?
-
May I guess? New water coming in warms the surrounding area, raising the temp at the icemaker thermostat
-
Just noticed the FLAG – what’s that for?
-
Must the dispenser assy be in place for ice to be made?
