I just replaced both solenoids, tubing, and filter on this side-by-side refrigerator. Water works now, but icemaker is still not filling. I heard the water try to cycle a couple times last night, but could not get to the freezer to observe. Still no water in form.The icemaker does cycle. I poured water into the form last night and had ice this morning. Removed the icemaker and back plate, and noted that the fill tube was loose from the grommet. Fill tube was empty. Grommet is flush with back wall of freezer, and may have cracked off. How are grommet and fill tube connected? Could it be that water was getting to the grommet and running down the back wall inside the freezer? It only tried to cycle water for 1-2 seconds. Does the form have a sensor to shut off water on no flow? Tonight I'll disconnect the tube and see if I get water flow.

Answer Fred, The fill tube does not have a flow sensor in it. The icemaker determines the length of time that the water should come into the unit. If the fill tube is broken off then you would want to replace the fill tube. If the unit is only trying to fill for 1-2 seconds then you would need to replace the icemaker.

No water is currently flowing into ice maker to make ice & I'm trying to find the cause; verified water pump is working properly; I removed the water line to the grommet on the back of the unit; removed ice maker from freezer; blew out the line from the back of the unit that goes into the freezer; I felt pressure on the inside 1/4 inch water line that feeds the ice tray - but the air flow was somewhat weak; I tried to force water thru the grommet on the back of the unit, no good - the water just came back & dripped down the hose I was blowing thru; Could their be frozen water inside the grommet, between the back on the unit & where the water flows into the ice maker? (I think that's the only answer - I think) Can I removed the grommet assembly on the back of the unit by just pulling & twisting on it? Or do I have to go thru the freezer compartment & get at the grommet & 1/4 inch hose ? I also tried to use 2 blow dryers, one from the back & one inside the freezer compartment to see if i could defrost the possible frozen water - no good. When the water tries to fill the ice maker, the water is forced back out the water feed line in the back of the unit & drips down the back of the fridge. What do you guys think ?? thanks,chris

Chris for Model Number CSX27DMA

Answer Hello Chris. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the grommet WR2X8474 and the fill tube is frozen and will need to be thawed out. Hope this helps.

How do you remove the old grommet? Old one leaked and is brittle and needs to be replaced.

Pete for Model Number GE Refrigerator Model ZIS36NYB

Answer Hello Pete. Pull the refrigerator out and remove the waterline from the grommet WR2X8474. Once removed, you will remove the grommet, by twisting and pulling it out of the back of the refrigerator. Hope this helps.
