Norcold 1200 LRIM Ice Maker not getting water to ice maker

My cooling tower was just replaced after 11 years of perfect service but then started to fade. At the same time, the dealer would not work on the fridge until I had the latest recall done from Norcold on the flue. I get the MH back and the freezer side is at 4 degrees F with the setting on 9. But no water to ice maker. This is a 2004 Dutchstar 40.

I have the MH pump on and have water pressure at the blue solenoid valve. It would appear that a sensor is not aware that the freezer is down to a temperature that should signal to fill the ice maker with water. The ice maker arm is in the down position meaning the catch box is not full.

I have not been anywhere below freezing temperatures.

I have cleaned all the electrical connections.

I do have power to the ice maker receptacle as I can plug a drop light into the receptacle for the ice maker.

I suspect perhaps there is a blown fuse somewhere. I have looked at the fuse box in the bathroom for a fuse labeled ice maker but there is none.

Also could I plug the ice maker male end into my house current with an extension cord?

Is there a hidden fuse somewhere?

Any help is appreciated.

  • Check the water solenoid first. It's the easiest to get to and easiest to check. If it's working properly, check to see if you are getting water around the bottom of the fridge through the outside access panel. The ice maker line on the 1200 is a pressed fitting...meaning it's simply pressed into the rear of the box and held in place with silicone. Eventually that becomes brittle and the hose dislodges from the box preventing water from filling the ice cup. New ice maker complete can be found at Lowes and Home Depot. About $100 or so...if you need the replacement number, let me know and I'll look it up. I know I have it somewhere......Dennis
