Replacement Ice Maker

Hi Norman, Thank you for contacting us. I believe that perhaps turning it toward the - would lessen the flow of water. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Michael, Thank you for your question. Before you begin to test your icemaker's water inlet valve, make sure you disconnect the appliance's power supply. The easiest way to do this is to unplug the unit from the wall. Alternatively, you could trip the appropriate switch in the circuit breaker panel, or you could remove the appropriate fuse from your home's fuse box. Consult with an appliance repair technician if you do not feel you have the skill or the ability to successfully complete this test. Locate your icemaker's water inlet valve, it is typically located behind a refrigerator. Gently pull your refrigerator away from the wall. You may want to place scraps of carpet, of some other soft material below the fridge to prevent damage to the floor. Turn of the water valve's water supply by closing the shut-off valve in the waterline leading to the water valve. Remove the lower access panel on the back of the refrigerator using a screwdriver or a nut driver. Place a container under the valve to catch any water that may spill from the water valve and its fill tube. Remove the water valve's fill tubing. Loosen the flare nut on the brass fitting that is found on the inlet side of the water valve. You can use a wrench to loosen the flare nut. Your water inlet valve is held in place on your refrigerator by means of a metal bracket. Use a screwdriver or a nutdriver to remove the screw that holds the water valve's bracket to the refrigerator cabinet. Gently pull the water valve out of the cabinet, and remove the tube from the outlet port. There are two wires connecting to the terminals of your water inlet valve. If yours is a double solenoid water valve, it will have four wires. Be sure to label each wire so that you know where to reconnect them later. Firmly grasp the metal connector of the wires in order to remove the wires. You may need to use a pair of needle-nosed pliers. Do not pull on the wires themselves. Set your multitester to the R X 1 ohms setting to test for continuity. Place each of the multitester's leads on a terminal. Your multitester should display a reading between 200 and 500 ohms. Closely examine your water inlet valve. The exact ohm resistance rating you should test for may be marked on the valve. If the test you conduct with your icemaker water inlet valve does not produce these results, then you should replace the component. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Elisa, Thank you for the question. Sounds like you need the Dispenser Switch Board,PartSelect Number PS1526487. It is also to take the front off the dispenser and check the Ribbon Cable Harness,PartSelect Number PS1526364. Normally it is one of the two parts.Hope this helps!

Hi Tim, Thank you for your inquiry. The replacement ice maker, part number PS735469, replaces the heat-release ice maker unit only. The kit comes with four round female connectors at the end of the wire harness. It also comes with the adaptor that converts the harness to three round female, and one round male connectors. The add on ice maker assembly, part number PS10057479, includes an icemaker that makes eight radius ice cubes, the water valve, an ice bucket, the fill tube, the harness, and installation instructions. Note: This icemaker assembly will fit most Frigidaire models manufactured from 2001 to present. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello Eddie, Thank you for your inquiry. It could be the ice maker or the ice maker control. Most heat release ice makers will have a removable cover at the front. Behind the cover is a series of electrical test points that can be used to diagnose the ice maker. The unit can be manually operated by inserting an insulated jumper wire into test points “T” and “H” to initiate a “test harvest”. The jumper should be insulated 14 gauge solid wire that has the insulation stripped back about 3/4 of an inch on both ends, and bent into a “U” shape. When inserted into the test points for 5 to 10 seconds, the motor should start and the cycle will continue on its own. You may have to manually close the freezer door switch for this to operate. This test will simulate a real harvest cycle and will operate the ejector blades, shut off arm and the fill valve in the proper sequence, and will allow you to do a proper diagnosis. This is a live voltage test and should only be performed by a qualified person. If the motor does not start, you can verify that you have power to the ice maker at test points “L” and “N”. If the ice maker is getting power and does not perform a cycle, then the ice maker will need to be replaced since the module comes as part of the ice maker assembly. Hope this helps!

Hello William, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the Water Fill Tube PartSelect Number PS7783975. This tube fills the ice maker mold. Make sure it is not damaged or cracked and causing the leak or just need to be readjusted into the correct position. Also make sure the ice maker is not over filling and causing it to overflow and leak. If this is the case you may need to replace the Water Valve Part #: PS7784018. Hope this helps!

Hello Gil, Thank you for the question. Unfortunately this would indicate the Ice maker is defective and will need to be replaced. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

Hello Eddie, thank you for your question. The icemaker replacement for your specific unit is part number 241798224. Please enter the part number into the site for current price and availability. Good luck with your repair!

Hello George , Thank you for the question. There is no right to left for the harness, you just need to plug it in. You turn the screw half way to adjust the timer as explained in the video. Hope this helps!

Hi Gene, Thank you for your question. If the auger will not feed the ice to the door and the end bushing has broken loose from the bin, we can provide you with a new ice container with auger. The part number listed under your model number for the ice container with auger is PS1991428. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
