Icemaker making owl sound, not producing ice — Ice blockage or icemaker fault

What does Icemaker owl sound mean?

The icemaker is no longer producing ice and makes an unusual 'owl-type' sound. This often indicates an ice blockage within the icemaker or fill line.

• Ice blockage in the icemaker mold or fill tube
• Icemaker motor frozen solid
• Freezer temperature set incorrectly (too warm causing melting then refreezing, or too cold causing freezing of water lines)

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Unplug the Refrigerator for at least 24 hours to completely thaw any ice buildup in the icemaker or fill line.

2. 2

   Ensure the freezer temperature is set within the recommended range (typically around 0°F to 5°F or -18°C to -15°C).

3. 3

   After thawing, reset the icemaker using its test button (if available) or by unplugging/replugging the unit.

4. 4

   Check that the water supply line to the Refrigerator and icemaker is connected and fully open.
