Magoo for Model Number 10659542998

Thank you for the rapid response to my question, but I think you might have misunderstood my problem. The ice and frost is building up under the front part of the ice bucket and down around the top part of the ice slide. It sticks to the left side of the fridge and falls down on the frozen foods in my freezer. It builds up under the ice bucket and makes it hard to open the door. This is why I believe it is the defrost timer, but I am not a technician. OK Thanks

Answer

Magoo,


It is possible that your icemaker may be leaking which would cause the issue of water leaking from the bin into the ice chute and down the side wall. It is also possible that the issue could be that the water valve is not fully closing and causing the icemaker to overfill and run out. You can test this by taking the cover off the icemaker and allowing it to cycle by putting a jumper wire between T & H on the motor module. This will allow the unit to run through a cycle. Pull the ice bin out and check to see when the icemaker fills with water whether there is water dripping from the bottom of the icemaker and make sure that the water valve is shutting off.
