If the ice maker in your Bosch refrigerator has stopped working, it’s highly likely one or more of the components that we discuss in this guide are faulty and will need to be repaired or replaced.
Simply start with the first possible cause and work your way down the guide until you find the cause responsible and fix it.

The best place to start is to check the temperature of your freezer. If your freezer temperature isn’t low enough, it won’t be able to make ice.
Here’s how to check the temperature, and if necessary, adjust your settings:
If the freezer temperature has been set properly but your freezer is not cooling down, you’ll need to check if condenser coils at the back of your freezer are dirty or frosted over. If so, give them a good clean or let them defrost before turning your freezer back on and checking if the ice maker is working. If your ice maker still doesn’t work, move on to the next step in this guide.
The next step is to check the water filter to ensure it isn’t defective. The water filter in your Bosch refrigerator should be changed every 6 months to ensure it works properly. If it stops working, water can stop flowing into your ice maker unit. If you haven’t changed your water filter for a while, replace it and then check if your ice maker starts working. If not, move on to the next step in this guide.
The next step is to check the water supply pipe. This can easily be done by ensuring the water pipe isn’t crimped, bent, or leaking so that water can run through it. If the pipe is damaged, replace it. If fine, move on to the next step in this guide.
The next component you’ll have to inspect is the water inlet valve. The water inlet valve is an electronic valve that opens and lets water into the ice maker.
Here’s how to check the water inlet valve:
Within your Bosch ice maker unit, there is a small motor that’s there to assist the tray to turn so ice can be deposited into the ice maker container. The motor automatically activates when the ice tray reaches a certain temperature.
Here’s how to inspect the icemaker motor:
Your Bosch refrigerator has a door switch installed in it that is activated when you close the fridge doors. If the switch fails, the control board will think the doors are open and won’t let the ice marker turn on.
Here’s how to check the door switch:
The ice maker unit has an ice tray thermostat that is there to monitor the temperature of the ice tray. When the ice tray heats up enough, the thermostat tells the control board, which tells the icemaker motor to turn on and flip the ice tray. If this thermostat stops working, the other components in your ice maker will also stop working.
Here’s how to check the ice tray thermostat:
If you still haven’t found the cause of your Bosch ice maker not working, your final option is to replace the entire ice maker unit. This can be an expensive repair to make, but if everything else is working in your Bosch refrigerator it properly makes more sense than purchasing a brand-new refrigerator.
