Hey guys, thanks ahead of time for any help

I have a GE PYE22KSKBSS refrigerator in which the ice maker suddenly stopped making ice. I did go in to the settings and turn the ice maker on/off to no avail.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Remove the ice maker and see if you have ice in the tray, if so see if the ice maker blades are stuck on the ice and won't cycle it out.

Here's the ice maker for your model:

When you click the part link to the ice maker, you will see a video of how to remove and replace it.

I'm attaching your tech. data sheet, run the diagnostics for the ice maker and tell us what happens.

Thanks for the info

Ice maker was all clear

I ran test ‘00-99 FF Door Icemaker Full Cycle Test’

While running the test the display just showed ‘01’

I heard some stuff going on, but the test never seemed to end and I just pressed a button to end it and exit the diagnostic mode. Am I doing something wrong?

Was there ice in the ice maker tray?

Put a freezer thermometer in the ice maker compartment and leave it there for a couple hours and see what the temperature is in the ice maker compartment.

Sorry if I was not clear…no, there was no ice in the icemaker tray

Hmmmm, I’ll have to pick up a freezer thermometer

Yes, because the ice maker has to be below 10 degrees F at all times for it to work.

Sorry for the delay, I had to purchase a freezer thermometer.

Ice maker sits at -2 degrees Fahrenheit

Good!

So its possibly a bad ice maker or bad water inlet valve. But the tech. data sheet is very vague about how to pinpoint which one it is.

You may need to contact GE to come out at at 1-800-432-2737, as I'm not that familiar with these newer GE models too much to confirm which is the bad part.

Would the water valve correlate to the water that is used to fill cups and such? Because that DOES work

Where would I find the ice maker water valve? Is that included with a replacement icemaker? If so, I may just change the unit as their cheap enough

I am unable to find the technical service manual online anywhere TO access it. But I did locate a video that may be similar to your model here:

FIXED - CYE22UP2MDS1 GE Cafe Refrigerator - Keurig/Hot Water function causing leak inside door

Hi - I've got a GE fridge with the Keurig/Hot water function. When using this function water leaks through the bottom of the door. We've had this fridge for about a year and a half and it just started doing this. I popped off the cover on the door and verified the leaks during the hot water...

Update: I installed a new icemaker and it does not seem to have fixed the problem.

I installed it with the fridge on/plugged in. Should I have unplugged it/is there a reset that has to be done?

After install I turned the icemaker back on, there is no water in the ice cube trays.

Water for filling cups and such has never stopped working, which is what made me replace the icemaker and not the water valve.

Should I move on to the water valve???

Disregard, I checked this morning and we have ice!

Thanks for all of your help guys, I recently fixed my washing machine and refrigerator with great help fork everyone on here

 

[Jake]

Yes, always unplug the refrigerator, or any appliance you are working on, first before replacing any parts.

Disregard, I checked this morning and we have ice!

Wonderful, that's great news to hear.

Thanks for the update!
