One year old Kitchen Aid side by side: We turn off house water when we leave for more than a day or so; last week we left for 4 days and had the water off. Now the icemaker in the fridge runs its solenoid wanting water but no water enters the unit. The icemaker seems to be operating normally, waiting the normal time between fills and blade rotations to exit ice but with no water there of course, there's no ice.
During the time we were gone, it must have been cycling over and over, as the bail wire had been left in the down position.
The door water works fine.
Does running the icemaker with no water pressure cause damage?
We've done this many times in the past and I don't recall any problems on returning and restoring water pressure to the house. It acts like something may be frozen up perhaps?
Any ideas or suggestions? Besides 'you moron, don't turn off the water when you leave'...
Thanks,
