Understanding the Problem
If your Frigidaire FFSS2615TD1 has stopped making ice (or is producing very little or malformed ice), the issue usually comes down to either a water supply problem, a failed ice maker assembly, or a control/fill fault. The ice maker relies on cold, steady freezer temps, an unobstructed water line, a working water inlet valve, and a functional harvest/fill mechanism in the ice maker module. Any one of these can prevent ice production or cause continuous filling or small cubes. Diagnosis starts with verifying the basics: freezer temperature (should be around 0°F / -18°C), a cold textured evaporator area behind the freezer liner, and a live water supply to the refrigerator. After those checks, listen for the ice maker's motor during a harvest cycle and confirm the fill cup fills when commanded (or during a manual test). If the ice maker motor doesn’t run, or the fill cup never gets water while the supply is OK, replacement of the ice maker assembly or the water inlet valve is commonly required.
Common Symptoms
No ice production, small or hollow cubes, ice maker continuously filling (won't stop), leaking/overflow in the ice bin, or the ice maker not cycling/harvesting.
Common Causes
- Blocked/closed water supply or clogged water filter reducing or stopping fill
- Failed ice maker assembly (harvest motor, thermostat, or electronic module)
- Faulty water inlet valve or low incoming water pressure

Helpful Repair Tip
First remove the water filter and run a cup of water from the dispenser to verify home water supply and filter condition; then manually actuate the ice maker test (press the test/reset button on the ice maker module or use the diagnostic cycle) to check for motor and harvest action before ordering parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test the ice maker on my FFSS2615TD1?
Locate the ice maker module inside the freezer (top of the ice bin). Many Frigidaire units have a small push-button or a test/reset tab — press and hold it for a few seconds to force a harvest/fill cycle. You should hear the motor run and, if at the fill stage, water should flow into the mold. If nothing happens and the freezer temp is cold, the ice maker assembly or its wiring likely needs replacement. Always disconnect power before swapping parts.
Can I replace the ice maker myself and how long does it take?
Yes — replacing the ice maker assembly is a common DIY repair if you have basic tools and are comfortable working behind the freezer liner. Typical steps: unplug fridge, remove ice bin, remove mounting screws, disconnect the harness, swap in the new assembly and reconnect. Most experienced DIYers can complete it in 30–60 minutes. If the problem is the water inlet valve, you’ll need to shut off the house water and may need to pull the fridge out to access the valve — allow 60–90 minutes. If unsure, take photos of connections before removal or consult a technician.
