Electrolux Refrigerator Ice Maker (IM117000)

The Electrolux Refrigerator Ice Maker is the self-contained unit inside your freezer compartment that automatically produces and harvests ice cubes for everyday use. It works by filling a mold with water, freezing it to the correct temperature, then cycling a heating element and ejector arm to release finished cubes into the ice bin below.

The Electrolux Refrigerator Ice Maker can fail from a worn-out motor module, a damaged ejector arm, a burned-out heating element, or a faulty thermostat that no longer reads the ice mold temperature correctly. Water inlet issues, mineral buildup, or simply years of regular use can also cause the assembly to stop cycling or produce ice inconsistently.

Look for these symptoms to help determine if the ice maker is the source of your problem:

- Refrigerator stops making ice entirely

- Ice maker runs but no cubes drop into the bin

- Ice cubes are undersized, hollow, or misshapen

- Ice maker cycles continuously without harvesting

- Loud clicking or grinding noise coming from the freezer during the ice cycle

- Ice clumps together or freezes solid inside the mold

- Water leaks into the freezer from the ice maker area
