Detail Dan April 19, 2021 for Model Number Bosch B26FT70SNSNS/04 The ice door flap does not engage when the ice button is pushed allowing the ice to drop into a glass. Is part AP4512914 which is labeled as a valve actually act as a solenoid to open the ice flap or is it just a valve to engage the water dispenser? Need to determine what activates the ice flap.
1 Answer Detail, For this issue, the valve 00617906 would cause this ice door to not open. Read More...
Jud July 12, 2018 for Model Number B26FT70SNS/01 I have had no problems with my refrigerator until the other day when the water started dripping from the water dispenser tube in the door. Since the drip tray doesn't have a drain it has caused a bit of a problem. Is the just a valve issue and is it something I can replace? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Jud, This is normally caused by a failing water valve 00649626 but can also be caused by a pinhole in the water line or low water pressure. Read More...
Robert D April 11, 2013 for Model Number B26FT70DNS /01 FD9005 001474 I purchased my Bosch refigerator in 2010. One evening 2 days ago we heqrd a "pop" sound immediately followed by a electrical ordor coming from the ice maker area of the refrigerator. Subsequent investigation revealed that the ice maker is forming ice properly and the auger is forwarding the ice to the dispenser door area; however, ice wil NOT dispense from the door unit to an outside container. By reaching my fingers up into the dispenser from the outside I can mnaually move the door flap followed by a cascade of ice cubes falling down into the outside ice container. It appears the ice cubes are trapped in the dispenser until manual intervention occurs. It has been suggested that the Ice Door Solenoid (Part No. 617906) may have failed. If you could provide installation instructions AND confirmation of the failure so I could determine the feasibility of doing the repair myself, I'll follow up by ordering the failed part. Thank you.
1 Answer Robert, This issue does sound like the dispenser solenoid has failed and would need to be replaced. To access the solenoid you will use a flat blade screw driver at the bottom corner of the trim and pop the trim out. There should be a slot for the screwdriver. Once you get the front off disconnect the wires and set front panel aside. The solenoid is located on the left side of the opening. Read More...
