Efrain H for Model Number 106.55539400 Sears Coldspot refrigerator: Noticed about a month ago that it was dispensing ice periodically only, instead of regularly. Then it stopped dispensing ice altogether. Then about two weeks ago, began dispensing ice again, albeit periodically. Now, has stopped dispensing ice completely again. It is getting water (I installed a heated water tube several years ago to stop the freezing of the water line) and there are ice cubes in the tray, but it won't dispense. I suspect the icemaker control module -- maybe -- or some electronic issue. I'm very handy at repairs but not so much at troubleshooting, so your help would be appreciated.
Answer Efrain, It is possible that if the icemaker is not working that the issue could be the module, thermostat on the icemaker or the emitter board. When the icemaker is not working you can check to see if the light on the right side wall of the freezer compartment. If the light flashes then push in on the flapper on the left side and if it continues to flash then the emitter board is bad and if it glows solid then the emitter board shows good. You will then want to check the motor module for any burn marks. Check for the center wheel on the motor to make sure that the pins are not broken. Read More...
