Leo for Model Number 36350222000 Noticed excessive ice buildup around grommet and fill tube. Fill tube is actually being pushed out of grommet. Shut the water supply off and thawed out ice. Buildup was only around grommet area and fan area at top. Rest of freezer and cooling coils and defrost heater was clear of ice. Even with water shut off for 10 days now, ice is forming inside fill tube and pushing it out of grommet, and ice is building up around grommet and fan area. Makes no sense with water shut off. Do you think it's a bad grommet and tube? Can this be retro fitted with the one piece fill tube like what was shown in video? Any ideas?
Answer Hello Leo. If the water is off, and it was still freezing, you have an issue with warm air coming around the grommet into the freezer. It sounds like the grommet needs to be replaced. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, March 5, 2014
