Britta W for Model Number 106.54616300 Our ice maker is not functioning properly. It hasn't stopped altogether, but is definitely cycling much more slowly. The IR beam seems to work (blinks 2X, pauses, when beam is clear and bucket sensor is open, and also when bucket sensor is pushed in but beam is interrupted; solid light when bucket sensor is pushed in, beam clear). The accelerice feature is not helping. It makes maybe 2 or 3 trays of ice in a 24 hour period. I was going to order a new ice maker assembly, but worry that it may be another problem. Temperature seems fine (registers as 0 on the unit, ice is freezing, nothing else is thawing.) The water inlet seems clear and functioning. But I don't know about the icemaker module - is this more likely, as the machine is making ice, just very slowly?
Answer Britta, The most likely cause for the icemaker to only cycle 3 to 4 times daily would be a thermostat issue on the icemaker. This can be intermittent if the bimetal is not working properly. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, October 7, 2015
