John R. for Model Number GFSS2HCYHSS My original icemaker started having problems while I was away on vacation. My mother was house sitting and said that water leaked all over the floor. She defrosted the freezer for me and when I got home the ice maker was switched off. After reading and testing, I was able to get one batch of ice and then the led light went out. Reading online led me to believe that the ice maker had gone bad. I just replaced it with model number wr30x10093. The old ice maker had ice in the tray, with larger cubes than normal. The freezer is empty for testing, and I noticed that water was collecting in the ice tray and the bottom of the freezer. There are made cubes in the ice maker tray that will not dump. Water has been collecting on top of the ice there and the "rake" part is frozen to the existing ice. The rake did move for a manual cycle earlier, but not I can't move it. Could the problem be with the heating element, and if so could there be a wiring issue in the freezer itself that led to the problem with both units? This new unit does not have any LED indicator.
Answer Hello John, This sounds like there could be an issue with the water valve WR57X10086 or there is an insufficient water pressure supplied to the water valve. I would replace the water valve and thaw out the icemaker with a hair dryer and let it start over. There should be a minimum of about 50 PSI of water pressure supplied to the water and it should not exceed 100 PSI for optimum performance. Read More...
