    Why is my Amana AFI2538AES ice maker not producing ice?
    • J
      Jason DoughertyAug 14, 2025
      Several factors can cause your Amana Refrigerator's ice maker to stop producing ice. First, ensure that the ice maker switch is turned ON. Check that the household water supply is reaching the water valve. Inspect the copper tubing for any kinks, and if found, turn off the water supply and remove them or replace the tubing if the kinks cannot be removed. Also, verify that the water pressure is between 35 to 100 pounds per square inch. Finally, check the freezer temperature, it should be between 0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C) to produce ice.
