Question 2

The ice maker motor is working but no ice is coming out: what should I do?

Accepted Answer

If the motor of the ice maker is working (you can hear it running when you press the lever) but no ice is coming out, here are the checks to perform in order:

1. Check that the ice bin is not empty

Make sure that the ice storage bin located in the door has ice in it. It is possible that the bin is empty or that the ice has stuck together and is blocked.

2. Check the water pressure

According to the JENN-AIR JFFCC72EFS manual, the system requires a water pressure of 30 to 120 psi to function properly. Insufficient pressure will prevent the ice maker from producing ice, even if the motor is running.

3. Wait 24 hours after activation

If you have just activated the ice maker or connected the refrigerator to water, you need to wait 24 hours before the first ice cubes are ready. Additionally, the manual recommends discarding the first three batches of ice produced.

4. Check the ice maker activation

Ensure that the ice maker is activated (and not deactivated) in the refrigerator settings. It should be activated if your appliance is connected to a potable water supply.

5. Check the water line

A frozen or blocked water line can prevent water from reaching the ice maker. If you live in a very cold area, wait a few hours or consult technical support to check the integrity of the water line.

If after these checks the problem persists and only the motor is functioning, the ice production system itself may be defective and require technical intervention.
