Ice Maker in Dometic RM7030 Stops Making Ice

[christod]

I have a two door Dometic RM7030 with built in ice maker. Its in my 1993 Hawkins 36 Ltd Edition coach. I recently bought this coach and have been using it on and off for about six months. When the coach is first fired up after a storage break, the fridge makes a bucket full of ice, but after the fridge has been running a day or so, it stops. The freezer compartment is plenty cold, with frost on the upper shelves. The ice maker's arm raises to stop production of more ice when the bucket is full, as it should. However, when I lower it to resume ice production, no more ice is created. I suspect that the water line to the ice maker is frozen? If so any suggestions as to fix the situation?

Thinking that water is freezing in the water supply line where it enters the ice maker. When the water valve colses the water remaining in the supply line should drain down in to the tray area.

Have you tried to reduce the size of the ice cubes?

The problem could also be caused when the coach is tiped / lower on the side of the back of the refriderator,this could alow water ice to slowly build up and block the filler.

12.1 WATER FILL ADJUSTMENT

The correct water level in the mold is important for the

proper production of ice. The size of the ice cubes

depends on the amount of water which enters the mold.

The cubes should be approximately 1/2" wide, 3/4" high

and 2-1/2" long.

If the water overflows in the mold, first check to see if

the ice maker unit is level in the appliance. Next ensure

that the appliance is installed level in the RV.

If there is still water overflow, adjustment of the water fill

screw is necessary. Locate the screw on the ice maker

assembly. Turn the screw as necessary toward the "+"

or "" side. One full turn of the screw will make an 18cc

change in the amount of water. DO NOT turn the screw

more than one full turn at a time.

If the water level is too high, it can also cause the

ejector blades to become frozen in the ice. Follow the

procedures above to correct the problem.
