General Electric Refrigerator BISW42ELD Ice maker won't dispense ice

The Solenoid Valve Kit is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This kit includes the solenoid valve, which is responsible for regulating the flow of refrigerant in the cooling system.

Causes of a bad solenoid valve kit include electrical malfunctions, physical damage, refrigerant leaks, or general wear and tear over time.

Symptoms of a faulty solenoid valve kit:

• Refrigerator not cooling properly or not maintaining consistent temperatures
• Compressor running constantly or cycling too frequently
• Frost buildup or ice accumulation in the freezer compartment

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore refrigerator models. 

The Drive Cup is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part engages with other parts to drive the ice out of the molds and into the storage bin.  

Causes of Drive Cup failure can range from physical wear and tear from regular use, which may lead to cracks or deformities in the part, to accumulation of frost or ice that hinders its movement.  

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Drive Cup include:

• The ice maker fails to eject ice properly, leading to clogs or jams within the system.
• Unusual noises during the ice-making cycle, which could indicate that the drive cup is not engaging correctly with other components.
• Decreased efficiency in ice production, as the mechanism struggles to operate smoothly.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This OEM Replacement Part is an ice container assembly for GE side-by-side refrigerators from 1998 models and newer with 24 to 27 cubic feet capacity. The assembly includes a 12 3/8” wide x 12 3/8” long x 14 5/8” tall ice bucket with an integrated auger to rotate and move ice into the dispenser chute. The auger within the assembly helps move the ice cubes forward, enabling easy access and dispensing.

Causes of a bad assembly can include wear and tear over time, damage from frequent use or mishandling, and issues with the auger motor or blades that prevent proper ice movement.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Bucket and Auger Assembly include:

• Ice not dispensing properly
• The auger not turning or making unusual noises
• Cracks or damage to the ice bucket
• Ice jams or clogs in the dispenser chute

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Dual Water Inlet Valve Kit is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It controls the flow of water to both the ice maker and the water dispenser. This dual-function valve ensures that your refrigerator can produce ice and dispense water efficiently. The valve operates by opening and closing in response to signals from the refrigerator, allowing water to flow into the ice maker or water dispenser when needed. 

The dual water inlet valve may wear out over time, especially in hard water areas, leading to issues like no ice production, malfunctioning water dispenser, or leaks.

Symptoms of a bad Dual Water Inlet Valve Kit include:

• No water being dispensed
• The ice maker not producing any ice
• A slow or irregular flow of water from the dispenser
• Water leaking from the valve

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
