Customer complaint: Refrigerator - Leaking from underneath Icemaker - stopped making ice. Initial visit (Oct 7) — Matthew B: ### Reported Concern The customer reports that the ice maker is not cycling water correctly to produce ice. ### Assessment During diagnostics, the drain pump was observed working normally. The unit initially filled with water after the harvest cycle, and the water circulation pump turned on to circulate water over the ice block tray. However, the water flow stopped prematurely due to an insufficient water level. Water circulation only resumed after water was manually added to the reservoir. While the initial testing of the water inlet valve was inconclusive, the symptoms confirm the unit is not receiving enough water to sustain the ice-making process. ### Next Steps It is recommended to replace the water inlet valve to resolve the low-fill issue. The precise compatible part number should be verified prior to ordering the replacement component. Return visit (Oct 13) — Matthew B: Work performed Replaced the water inlet valve on the Electrolux ice maker to restore proper water supply for ice production. Additionally, cleared the blocked refrigerator defrost drain to ensure meltwater drains correctly and prevents water accumulation inside the cabinet. Assessment Following the valve replacement and drain clearing, the ice maker and refrigerator drainage systems were tested. All components operated correctly with no active leaks or functional issues observed. Parts installed: Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve. Outcome: Repaired.
