Ice Maker & Related

It was an extremely easy fix with this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2YpWoE-BUA Read more

After doing all the tests to determine the problem it turned out that it was likely the motor in the ice maker. Rather than fix the immediate problem with a new motor and for just a few dollars more since they're prone to failure anyway, I eliminated potentially future problems by just replacing the whole ice maker. Money well spent and my part arrived the day after I ordered it. Read more

I ordered one but it was the wrong one and was too big so I had to send it back. I called the technician told me which one was the right one and I ordered it. It fit perfectly and I received the credit on the 1st one very quickly after they received it. This experience was very pleasant and I would use them again. Read more

The tech sheet test 56 said the motor wouldn't return to zero. I ordered the "Ice Maker Assy-Lp, and the Valve Assy-Water Dual". On my particular model the ice maker is in the ceiling of the refrigerator box. After removing the water filter and two screws around the drop down water filter door, the right side panel drops down by pulling it apart from 3 plastic pop-ins. Two of them broke when the repair guy man handled it. Pulling easy and supporting the inside pieces is key. Then I unplugged... Read more

Followed the steps in the video. Just ensure you slide the auger forward so it clears the housing before trying to remove it. Read more

The amount of water being dispensed into the ice cube tray was excessive, causing overflow of the tray. The water then ran into the collection bin and even down the side walls of the freezer creating a huge block of ice in the bin, and ice all over the lower shelves as well. The excessive build up of ice caused the cube tray to crack and also split the little silicone water grommet that connects to the water delivery tube which directs water into the cube tray. Look out for that little tube... Read more

The problem was that the motor coupler & shaft had a tiny bit of rust at their union. With the weight of the ice bin it rusted in the lowest position. This didn't allow the motor coupler to float on the shaft. There is a spring inside the shaft that pushes up on the motor coupler keeping it engaged in the ice bin coupler above. This coupler in turn rotates the auger in the bin to dispense the ice. I removed the motor coupler & shaft, tapped the coupler loose and filed off the rust. This allowed... Read more

• Ice maker dispenses too much ice

First - I am not a handyman so bear with me. Turned out not only the auger fins were broken off but also the ice dispenser crusher cover had cracks and breaks on it. First - AppliancePartsPros.com has awesome shipping. Because i didn't know right away the crusher cover was broken, I had to do two orders. Each order was received next day in afternoon. Video is great. Tells exactly how to do. There are two issues you will run into. Remembering the exact sequence of all the washers and... Read more

I my wife removed it and replaced. Read more

Tl;dr: Watch the repair video FIRST. This will take you less than 15m if you do watch the video. You need to remove a door panel, you can't directly replace the icemaker. Even without doing that, it took me less than 30 minutes. 4 screws, a panel removal, a couple of computer-style power plugs, and you'll have ice again no problem. Stupid easy. Initially, we did the button reset on the old icemaker, and it didn't beep or anything, so that was enough troubleshooting for me to replace the... Read more

After seeing the extensive list/pictures of repair parts available on your web site and really not knowing what parts needed to be replaced, I decided that it would be easier just to order a complete Ice Bucket Assembly. It took longer to open the box than it did to install the new Ice Bucket. And delivery was really quick too, about 4 days from order to delivery...that is service defined. I'll be back for any future repairs on my other appliances. Read more

Ordered part and replace it Read more

Initially I noticed the crusher drum was cracked and broken so I replaced the drum the retaining nut on the end of the auger and the circlip and washer. it worked fine for a time and then the drum began free wheeling. upon further inspection I discovered the retain nubs on the auger had worn down allowing the blade to slip down the auger body. so I replaced the auger, drum, drive blade, and drive cam. I recommend if you gave a problem with the ice dispenser you break down and inspect the entire... Read more
