Machine quit making ice, cleaned it very well now its hot on the grid and no water on plate not sure what to check
For model number 10689483998
Hello Carolyn, thank you for your question. There are a few parts we would recommend testing first which are PartSelect Number: PS11740334 grid, PartSelect Number: PS11740333 thermistor, PartSelect Number: PS11740332 ice bin thermostat. If those parts are fine, the valve, circulation pump and electronic control should be tested next. I hope this helps.
The process to repair was very simple, I removed the back of the refrigerator to expose the motor area. I then removed three screws that held the condenser motor in place. once it was loose I detactched the electrical harness and removed the old motor. I then placed the new motor in place and secured it with the screws and reattached the new electrical harness that came with the new part. Once completed I reviewed it to make sure I didn't miss anything. I then replaced the cover over the motor area and enjoyed my success in repairing my own appliance with no added cost for labor, which would have been expensive I'm sure. The part purchased came with clear and consice instructions very easy to follow.
1. Remove all ice and drain water pan by removing drain cap. 2. Disconnect waterline and unplug ice maker 3. Set icemaker on a work bench unless you like working on your knees, head down. 4. Remove flip out chute and ice scoop bracket. 5. Remove water pan by removing thumb screws 6. Remove single 1/4" head cap screw that holds plastic cover over pump. 7. Remove discharge hose from pump. Pull clear plastic 1/8" diameter water supply line from notch in left edge of pump base. 8. Remove three cap screws holding pump. Two are visible. The third one is behind the pump and requires an 8" extension on the socket. 9. After the three screws are removed the pump drops down. The electric connection must be unplugged. Pinch the tabs on either side to release the plug. 10. Reverse procedure to install new pump. Unless you have really small hands or love being frustrated, don't bother to reinstall the third screw that is behind the pump. The pump stays in place just fine without that screw. 11. After reinstalling the icemaker, clean thoroughly by washing all inside surfaces with a strong bleach solution. 12. Run a cleaning cycle with one quart of strong bleach solution in the water tray. At the conclusion of the cleaning cycle, drain the water tray. Place unit into service. DON'T FORGET TO CLEAN REGULARLY. If the water supply is not chlorinated molds and algae will develop in recirculation hose.
We have a side-by-side fridge/freezer and we experienced a hot center post (where doors come together) and the fridge made loud noise. Also, the (old) fan motor would start, but then quit, so our issue was the motor.
For me the repair was very easy, but for an unexperienced person it may prove to be difficult. If you must order a motor/fan, do NOT order the metal fan as a plastic fan comes with the motor. What's strange is the new motor is different than the old one, but it still mounted without any required modifications. I did NOT use the wire harness that came with the motor either as it was different too, but my old one was still good.
Check all of your parts as my fan had a cracked blade, but I used "superglue" and it's fine now.
Fridge stays cold and my wife had to lower the temperature in the fridge as she was blasted by the cold!
