When Igloo ice maker is not working, it could be the unit is not turned on properly, not receiving any electrical power, not receiving any water, or it could be the water is not reaching the ice tray. A clogged water supply line can prevent the machine from producing ice as well. Alternatively, the ambient temperature in the machine’s water reservoir might be too high (90 degrees or higher) or there is a leakage of the refrigerant liquid somewhere in the system.
How to Fix Igloo Ice Maker?

If nothing helps, it may be that the Igloo ice maker’s ejector or heating mechanism is faulty, or that it hasn’t been cleaned for a while. Disassemble and clean each of its components using warm water and vinegar to restore its optimal performance.
