Mine does that. Ice is frozen to the drive shaft. Try using a long thin flat blade screwdriver under the ice bucket to try and lightly pry the bucket off. If it won't still budge then try removing all the ice you can and then running a hair dryer pointed at the bottom of the ice bucket where the metal part is. This will help melt the ice build up in there. 2nd option is pouring hot water in the bucket. This is all going to make a huge mess on the floor so get some towels. Eventually it will lift off while pushing the button in. The actual latches are plastic and not very long. It's the ice that's keeping it from lifting off.

Did you put the correct code in? The code should be listed inside the unit.

Hi,

This is a very common issue and it means that your high voltage control board on the back of the refrigerator has shorted and will need to be ordered and replaced.You could buy the board from any of the local appliance store or online from many sites such as repairclinic.com

The cost of the part would be around $175 - $200.

Thanks and Regards

Hello,

An ice maker is a electrical unit that is installed into a freezer.

Water flows into the icemaker through a tube on the back of the refrigerator. The water is then transformed into ice by the ice maker, allowing you to enjoy a nicely chilled beverage.

Installing and removing an Ice Maker is very easy. The process may vary slightly depending on the model of refrigerator, but the technique will be similar.

Instructions Things You'll Need:

• Screwdriver

1. Ensure that the water going into the ice maker is shut off. If there is not a valve on the water line going to the refrigerator, check under the house, because there is usually a shutoff valve there.
   
   If there is no shutoff valve for the water line, which is rare, it is possible to cap off the water line with a screw on end cap. If this is the case, you would have to shut the water off completely in the house, cap off the water line, and turn the water back on.
   
2. Remove the container that holds the ice, as well as any plastic shelves.
   
3. Remove the screws holding the ice maker in place. There are usually only two and they connect the icemaker to the inside of the freezer.
   
4. Disconnect the wiring harness that is hooked up to the ice maker.
   
5. Disconnect the water line from the ice maker.
   
6. Remove the ice maker.
   

Thanks.

Hi, first , pour about 2/3 cup of water into the ice maker . If if freezes , and dumps , replace the water valve. If it does not dump the cubes , replace the ice maker. After pouring the water into the ice maker , remove the bottom kick panel , and clean the bottom coils , of dust , lint , pet hair , etc , as this will raise the freezer temp . An ice maker has to be 5 degrees , to operate , correctly . If ice maker starts working , after cleaning the coils , GREAT ! ( it does happen ) .

Take care

Just had this problem...replace the filter or insert the bypass valve.

OK I will waste no time on this on. I believe the dual water control valve is responsible and has been leaking water to ice maker even while valve is off.

Good day,
Just follow this step by step proceedure. It'll get you there.

First step is to take a small paper cup of water and fill the cavity until it is near full. With the ice maker turned on, close freezer door and wait 3 hours to see if it harvests. If not, the ice maker is bad, and must be replaced. If the cubes harvest then.......
Three possibilities.
1. The water supply from the house is not delivering water to the water valve. Shut off the house at the meter, disconnect the line going to the water valve, and with the line pointed into a bucket, have someone turn the valve back on for a 15 second count. The water should come out smartly. If not, the line and it's fittings will have to be replaced.
2. The fill tube from the back of the machine that feeds water into the back of the ice maker is frozen up. You will have to remove the ice maker to visually inspect that tube. If blocked, it needs to be defrosted, but use caution. Too much heat too fast will start to melt plastic and vinyl parts you don't want melted.
If this is the case, then once cleaned out, you will have to change the water valve located in the back bottom rear of the machine because it is leaking during the off cycle.
3. If everything checks O.K. up to this point, you will have to purchase and install a new water valve, and install it.
P.S. Under very rare occasions the electric circuity in the ice maker will fail to send a signal to the water valve. Although rare, it can happen, in which case the best option is to replace the ice maker and water valve.

what light flashes? if its the filter light change filter

We have a defrosst drain problem we will need to work on, WATER LEAKING FROM REFRIGERATOR OR INSIDE THE FREEZER OR FRESH FOOD SECTION
You have a blockage in your condensate defrost line or the pipe that fill the tray below the refrigerator is missing the condensate collector pan that uses the heat from the fan to evaporate the condensate back into the air inside your home. Or this sounds like you have a blockage in the drain tube, remove panel back of freezer...you may see ice build-up, melt ice with hair dryer, you will see a pan below evaporator, melt ice in pan, dry water up in pan with towel, now you should see drain hole in pan that leads to drain tube, pour some hot water in pan, wait a couple minutes, wipe up water and repeat this step 2-3 times, once you have done this use a wet and dry vacuum cleaner to vacuum out the gunk or blockage in the drain line. Now it is cleaned out! Put back panel back and you are good to go. The reason you see water in the Freezer is because the water has been leaking into the freezer instead of running into the drain hole...If you need any further assistance please feel free to comment again. Good luck! PS Please don't forget to rate my solution Thanks! Sea Breeze

I called a repair man to fix this problem - "FixYa" was absolutely useless in this case. Turns out there was a short on the control board and it needed to be replaced.

move arm to down postion. defrost and clean ice maker, ice jam

theharrisont,  You state that...." ice maker stopped working after it flooded our kitchen floor."  The water works because the water fountain dispenser uses a separate part of the Water Valve. The ice maker portion of the water valve is defected and the entire Water Valve Assembly will have to be replaced.  Your problem is the dual Water Valve Assembly which is located on the rear bottom area of the refrigerator (follow the water inlet line from the wall to the refrigerator...the water inlet line connects to the Water Valve Assembly).  The significant info which you provided was that the ice maker flooded the kitchen which indicates the Water Valve Assembly is defected. Failure to replace the Water Valve Assembly will result in the same problem of flooding at some later date.  Replacing the dual Water Valve Assembly is just one step of several steps necessary to correct the problem.  You will also have to temporarily remove the ice maker from the freezer (usually a couple of screws hold it to the wall and a quick disconnect electrical plug) and put it in the sink and run warm water over to remove any ice.  Before you reinstall the ice maker you must check the Water Fill Tube that dumps the water into the ice maker.  Because you said that the ice maker flooded the kitchen, then the Water Fill Tube is probably filled solid with ice which must be removed.  A hair dryer is a quick way to achieve this.  Blow hot air directly into the end of the Water Fill Tube which dumps the water into the ice maker.  Note:  Use a long screw driver to insert into the Water Fill Tube to break loose any ice and continue to use the hair dryer to help to remove any ice. This should correct your problem     If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/henry_239f63a136de60f0

To connect the water supply using a plastic hose kit to the MBB1954G UNIT, you can follow these steps: Turn off the water supply valve under the sink. Remove the old hose from the water supply valve and the back of the refrigerator. Attach the new plastic hose to the water supply valve and the back of the refrigerator. Make sure the hose is not kinked or twisted. Tighten the fittings with an adjustable wrench. Turn on the water supply valve and check for leaks. Here is a video tutorial that demonstrates how to install a water line to an ice maker or refrigerator using a 5 foot hose with 1/4 inch compression fittings.
