Ken for Model Number LFC25760ST This is a follow-on to question asking How can I tell if the valve is bad or the ice maker is at fault? In the answer, it refers to checking to see whether there is power going to the valve when the ice maker cycles. Is there any way to force the ice maker to cycle, so that I know when to check? Turing the unit off then back on? How do I know if the ice maker is cycling? Is that when the tine arm rotates, to scoop the cubes our of the slots where they form? In my case, I don't seem to see anything whatsoever when I turn the unit off then back on; rather, it just sits there, with the ice slots empty....... (Last time we had something go wrong with refrigerator at our old home, replacing refrigerator (instead of part) led to re-doing the whole kitchen. Perhaps my wife is behind this......... :) )
Answer Hello Ken. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. To cycle the icemaker, you have a test button on the bottom of the icemaker head. You press and hold the button until the icemaker starts to cycle. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
