Amana Refrigerator BRD18V1S Ice maker not making ice

Ice maker not producing ice or overflowing? This complete ice maker assembly replaces failed units. Easy 15-minute DIY install with video guide included.

This electrically actuated valve controls the flow of household water into your appliance during operation. Replacing a sticking or leaking valve restores proper fill performance and helps prevent unwanted dripping between cycles. What it does:

• Opens and closes to admit the correct amount of water at the right time
• Helps maintain stable water pressure and shutoff to the unit
• Common symptoms of a failing valve: no fill, slow/insufficient fill, water seeping into the tub when off, or leaks from the valve body
• May buzz or hum without allowing water flow when the internal coil or screen has failed or is clogged

• 1 water inlet valve

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Keep towels or a tray handy; some residual water will drain
• Note hose and wire orientations; transfer any brackets or fittings from the original valve
• After installation, restore water and power, check for leaks, and run a test fill cycle
