I have a Kenmore Coldspot side-by-side with a water dispenser and ice maker.
Model # 1069552951.

A couple months ago it stopped making ice. Ice maker would make a sound
every 15 to 30 minutes similar to a spring being released. Water was still
dispensing OK. Ice maker will make ice once in a great while but not very
often and sometimes only a few cubes. Now there is no water. I read thru
the manual and saw where there is a holding tank for the water. It seems
like when the water was dispensing, I may have just been emptying the
holding tank.

I can access the cold water line from the basement and there is a plastic
tube that goes up thru the floor to the back of the frig. There is no water
in the tube. It does not seem like the frig is drawing water up from the
cold line. I am on city water, no well.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi,

This is for the chilled water only and not the icemaker.

It does not seem like the frig is drawing water up from the
cold line.

It doesn't "draw" the water, fill valve(s) open and allow the house
water pressure to push the water through the valve(s) to the icemaker
or chileld water.

tube that goes up thru the floor to the back of the frig. There is no water
in the tube.

Low water pressure is likely. Clogged shut off valve, kinked line,
clogged/bad fill valve, filter ( if used ) might be prime suspects.

Somethings that may help....
