So last night i get home from a nice dinner, and my fridge is making these grinding noises from the freezer (it's a side by side) and the icemaker arm is down, which should mean it is making ice, but there is no new ice. I've been having issues getting water to come from the dispenser on the front of the unit, could it be a water line problem that would cause that sort of thing? like, ice maker on, but no water? I unplugged it last night (because it was loud as shit, and 11pm), and when i plugged it back in this morning, it didn't start making the noise again. so we'll have to see if it's doing anything when i get home.
A follow up question. I have an appliance breakdown policy with my insurance company. Has anyone ever used this? i think BGE Home has one as well. I'm just wondering if using that will a)be a colossal pain, or b) raise my insurance rates.

If both your ice and door water aren't working, it sounds like a water pump problem. Which isn't too hard to fix really, it would be in the back of the unit near the bottom, but finding the part yourself might be a chore.
Serious advice: what's your deductible like?
Also tell it to stop trying to make ice (flip the arm). If you have a water problem going into the ice maker, and your telling it to make ice, it may make loud unpleasant sounds. Tell it to stop making ice and the sound may stop. However the overall problem remains, fixing the symptom and all that jazz.
Yeah i've got the arm in the off position atm, and it seems to be working fine. once i get my insurance paperwork, I'll check out the appliance portion. I'm not sure how to go about making a claim on that.

Let me know if you add me on either.
I'm somehow suspecting that it's related to the water damage he's been having from his neighbor, but I doubt it. Wouldn't surprise me if ripping apart everything leads to this being some sort of nasty thing like that though.
Can i just manually bend the copper tube back to a more reasonable angle? i'm afraid i'm going to jack it up worse.
You could try replacing it, but the difficulty in that depends highly
Plastic tubing for a supply line? That would involve replacing connectors at some point, wouldn't it? Like, under the floor. Or in the wall.
Being "bent" is normal. That's why those plyable copper pipes exist. If you haven't been fucking with it, I doubt that's the problem anyway.
It's bent a bit more than i think it should be (also, the pipe itself is a lot longer than it should be i think). i haven't been messing with it, and water is still coming in, so i'll probably leave that alone. if i end up having a guy come look at it, i'll mention it though.
(I really have nothing to say, I just feel bad for you French with all the shit you've been going through.)
That will be me, right before i jump into the pit.
we'll see if they do anything about the inside of his house.
That pipe needs to be long enough to give slack so you can move the fridge in and out. If it were only long enough to reach, it'd be impossible to install.
The inspector called me and left a message, saying the neighbor guy said i was ok with it... Someone's getting an angry call from me tonight!
