By Marcus Reed · Lead Sub-Zero Technician · 20+ yrs · Oakland & East Bay A Sub-Zero ice maker that stopped making ice in Oakland is usually a water-supply problem (closed/kinked valve, frozen fill tube, low pressure), a failed water inlet valve, or the ice-maker module itself. We confirm water supply and the fill cycle before replacing parts.
Check water supply first
Confirm the saddle/shutoff valve is open and the line isn't kinked, and look for a frozen fill tube. A code 30 points to repeated long fills — see Sub-Zero code 30.
Valve and module
If supply is fine, the water inlet valve or ice-maker module is the usual culprit. We test both so you don't pay for the wrong part.

Why is my Sub-Zero making no ice but water works elsewhere?
The supply reaches the fridge but the inlet valve, fill tube or module isn't completing the fill/harvest cycle. Those need testing.
