Where is the reset button on a Kenmore Elite icemaker, model 106.51773510?

The Kenmore Elite icemaker model 106.51773510 typically does not have a physical reset button. Instead, troubleshooting and resetting the icemaker usually involve a series of steps to ensure it functions properly. Here's a general guide to help you: 1. Check the Power: Make sure the icemaker is properly connected to the power supply. Verify that the refrigerator is plugged in and the power is on. 2. Inspect the Water Supply: Ensure that the water supply to the refrigerator is turned on and that the water line is not kinked or obstructed. 3. Check the Icemaker Switch: Locate the icemaker switch inside the freezer. It's usually located near the ice bucket. Ensure that the switch is in the "On" position. Some models have a switch labeled "Icemaker" or "Ice," while others might have a lever-style switch. 4. Wait for Cycling: If the icemaker has been recently installed or the power has been restored, it might take some time for the icemaker to start cycling and producing ice. Allow a few hours for the icemaker to initiate its cycle. 5. Reset the Control Board: * If you suspect an electronic issue, you can perform a "reset" of the icemaker by unplugging the refrigerator for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. This can help reset the control board. 6. Verify Optimal Temperature: Check that the freezer compartment is set to the recommended temperature for ice production, typically around 0°F (-18°C). 7. Inspect the Fill Tube: If the icemaker is not filling with water, inspect the fill tube for any ice blockages or obstructions. Clear any ice or debris that might be preventing water flow. 8. Inspect the Water Inlet Valve: The water inlet valve controls the flow of water into the icemaker. If it's faulty, the icemaker may not fill with water. Consider testing or replacing the water inlet valve if necessary. 9. Consult the Manual: Refer to your Kenmore Elite refrigerator's user manual for model-specific troubleshooting and reset instructions. The manual can provide insights into the icemaker's operation and how to address common issues. If you're unable to resolve the issue with these steps, or if you're uncomfortable troubleshooting the icemaker on your own, consider reaching out to Kenmore customer support or hiring a professional appliance technician for assistance. Keep in mind that icemaker designs and troubleshooting steps might vary, so referring to the user manual is recommended for accurate information on your specific model.
