A Kenmore Cold Spot refrigerator in Detroit, OH had an ice maker that wouldn’t dump ice despite producing it normally. After diagnosing the unit, we determined the ice maker mechanism had failed and shipped a replacement icemaker to restore full functionality.
The Problem
The customer reported their Kenmore Cold Spot fridge ice maker has ice but won’t dump it. The ice maker was producing ice normally but the dump cycle wasn’t working, leaving ice trapped in the mold.

Is It Worth Repairing?
Kenmore refrigerators from this era are generally worth repairing when the main cooling system is intact. Ice maker replacements are cost-effective repairs that can extend the appliance’s useful life significantly, especially on units where the compressor and refrigeration system remain reliable.
Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Refrigerators
- Replace water filter every 6 months to prevent ice maker clogs and ensure proper water flow
- Clean ice maker monthly by running cleaning cycle if equipped, or manually cleaning ice storage bin
- Check door seals regularly on older Kenmore models to maintain efficient cooling and prevent ice maker overwork
