Frigidaire refrigerator ice maker not making ice but water works

The issue could be due to a variety of factors, like a clogged or faulty water inlet valve, a frozen water line, a broken ice maker assembly, or a malfunctioning thermostat. Each of these can prevent the ice maker from filling and freezing the water, even though the water dispenser works properly.

If the ice maker isn’t getting water, the water inlet valve might be clogged or faulty. You can check the valve for blockages, ensure it’s receiving voltage, and replace it if necessary. If the valve isn’t working, it will prevent water from reaching the ice maker, despite the water dispenser still functioning.

Yes, you can thaw a frozen water line by unplugging the refrigerator and letting it sit until the water line thaws. You can also use a hairdryer on a low heat setting to gently warm the line. If the freezing issue persists, you may need to replace the line or ensure proper insulation to prevent future freezing.

It’s recommended to replace the water filter in your Frigidaire refrigerator every 6 months, or as suggested by the manufacturer. A clogged filter can reduce water flow to the ice maker, leading to ice production problems. Regularly changing the filter will help ensure optimal performance.
