How I got my stupid fridge to work again.
Normally, I press/hold the blue button till it chimes.
Well that didn’t work this time. Darn. I read that the filter might be the issue. I'm using some cheap amazon ones, but I just swapped it not long ago. Either way, I swapped that and did the blue button reset.
Still nothing. I had an old fridge that the lines would freeze and I would have to hit them with a hair dryer for an hour, thawing out everything in the freezer. But as far as I could tell, this fridge had a better design. Another dead end.
Being a fan of the IT Crowd, I listened to Roy Trenneman and turned it off and back on again. Just the Ice Maker. I had to hold the Door Alarm button to unlock the Ice maker toggle.
At this point, I basically accepted defeat and I turned off the Ice Maker. After probably a day, maybe two, I had enough courage to try fixing it again and turned it back on. A day later it was full of ice!
So, as per usual, I have no idea what step actually fixed it.
Could have been the long turn off, could have been a combination of the filter and resets. For all I know, the fridge fairy came and fixed it!
Either way, its working again, so I'm not going to question it.
