Jim for Model Number g11500hx3 Free standing ice maker ...Is not short on gas , water flows, plate gets cold, makes very little ice. The problem is the fan works when you first turn it on ...But then shuts off and then does not cool down the radiatior. It creates to much heat and keeps melting the ice that was made untill the ice completely melts and is gone. I have by passed the fan and tried this .. I have a small fan I put in front of the radiator (not the one in the unit it self ) but a different one i had lying around the house ....And guess what it makes ice like it was brand new....My question, what is causing the fan to not come on in the unit itself? Its almost like the timing is off for the fan in the unit....Is this caused by a problem in the control boad ?
Answer Hello Jim. You will need to test and see if your losing power to the fan motor, or if the fan motor is bad and shutting down. If your losing power, you will need to replace the control board. If there is power there, but the fan does not run, you will need to replace the fan motor W10124096. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
