Kale January 04, 2019 for Model Number Frigidaire side by side fridge (unknown) I have no water at water dispenser or water to the ice maker. My question is about the diode kit under in the back of the fridge. I have 120v on the wiring entering diode kit from both the water dispenser switch and the calling of water for the ice maker. On the single tan wire of the diode.....the output is about 60-70VAC. Is this normal? The brown solenoid says it's 120V AC. Already replaced the diode kit with another one......same voltage issues. What is the issue? I do have supply line water pressure to the inlet valve.
1 Answer Kale, It sounds like this issue would be a faulty water valve causing the unit from dispensing water to the dispenser or to the icemaker. Read More...
Marc S October 22, 2018 for Model Number ffhs2611lwf My ice maker was not getting water but because it has made crazy noises since new I decided to replace ice maker, and inlet valve. I have water to valve and to door dispenser but no water going to ice maker. Line is open. I saw a video on ytube for my model and the guy replaced diode. Is this what I need. Very frustrated with my fridge.
1 Answer Marc, While the diode could be the issue there is usually an issue of water coming out of the dispenser when the icemaker is calling for ice. For this issue double check the fill tube to make sure that the fill tube is not frozen and check to make sure that the icemaker is getting 120 vac to it. Also check to make sure that there is 120 vac to the valve when calling for water. Read More...
Brad September 01, 2018 for Model Number FFHS2611PFCA Okay, my ice machine is not getting water. We had this issue before, and we replaced the ice machine. This fixed the problem. About 1 year later, our ice machine quit getting water again. I replaced the ice machine - this didn't fix the problem. I replaced the water inlet valve - this didn't fix the problem. My water dispenser has always worked. I tested the diode, and the voltage meter is reading about 120 at both brown and yellow terminals. Am I able to test the green terminal? What should I consider next? Should I replace the diode or the circuit board? Also, I tested the last water inlet valve, and there was continuity at all terminals. Thanks in advance.
1 Answer Brad, Cycle the icemaker and test to see if there is 120 vac getting to the valve. If there is no power to the valve then this would most likely be a wiring issue but could be that a problem with the valve caused the icemaker to fail. Also check to make sure that the fill tube is not frozen. If there is power then the fill tube being frozen could be an issue. Read More...
Eric June 07, 2018 for Model Number FSC23R5DBM My water dispenser and ice maker are not getting water. I have plenty of water to the filter. I also checked the water line in the door and it is not frozen. The dispenser was trickling a small amount of water and then stopping. Is this a valve issue?
1 Answer Eric, You will want to make sure that the filter is good and if this checks ok then the issue will most likely be the water valve. Read More...
Eric May 25, 2018 for Model Number Frigidaire Side by Side (not sure of model number) Ice maker will not fill with water. I have water at door dispenser. When ice maker is manually filled. Icemaker processes and harvest ice fine but will not auto fill. What should I look at first?
1 Answer Eric, check the water inlet valve first. Use a multi meter, set on 120 VAC. disconnect the wires from the ice maker solenoid on the valve, attach the meter leads to the wire terminals. Test cycle the ice maker, when the control reaches the fill increment of the cycle, you should "see" 120 VAC across the two wires. If you have the voltage, the fill valve solenoid has failed, and the valve will need to be replaced. If you do not have the voltage, you will need to check the fill level switch or replace the ice maker. Thanks, Read More...
John May 08, 2018 for Model Number FGHC2331PFAA My ice maker was not working. Water dispenser was working. Brown and yellow servo were tested and working, but green servo was bad. Connected brown lead to green servo to jump and see if I could get the ice control servo working, which evidently was a bad idea. The water dispenser stopped working. Ordered a brand new valve control unit and installed. Fridge is now dispensing ice, but water dispenser is still not working presumably because of the "jump" I tried before the new control valve assembly was installed (amateur hour). Could this be the diode that was damaged or another culprit? Again, water dispenser was working fine before I jumped the servos on the old valve assembly and still not working with the new assembly. I hear no water pump "hummmm" you hear when the water dispenser is working correctly. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
1 Answer John, For this issue the most likely cause will be a faulty main control board that has failed. The part number for the main board would be 5304498781. Read More...
Isaac April 10, 2018 I have a Frigidaire refrigerator #dfhs2313mf4, not getting any water to dispenser or icemaker, valves all check good but when i press dispenser for water, I get power to the valve for the water but no power to the main inlet valve, could the diode cause this problem.
1 Answer Hello Isaac. yes, if the die is bad, then the unit will not work properly. You will need to check the diode. Read More...
Patrick March 31, 2018 for Model Number FRS23HF5AW4 My Frigidaire, model #:FRS23HF5AW4 stopped making ice. I have changed the filter and all of the solenoids/ water valves and it is still not making ice. I would like to change the diode next. Would the diode with MFG Part Number: 5303918287 be recommended for my refrigerator.
1 Answer Patrick, The diode will most likely not be causing the icemaker to not work. If the diode fails water will dispense through the icemaker when dispenser is pressed. For this issue it will most likely be an icemaker issue that is causing the unit to not make ice. Read More...
Willie J Woods February 18, 2018 for Model Number FFHS2311LWD I installed a new ice maker on my Frigidaire refrigerator. The ice maker and the water valve check good, but I get no water and to power at the valve, could the diode cause this ?
1 Answer Willie, Yes, a defective diode could create your problem. But it should be a bit obvious, Burnt wiring, or insulation and an electrical burn odor from the area. Also check to make sure you have 120 VAC on the tan and yellow wires from the ice maker, and before the diodes. Read More...
Aaron February 13, 2018 for Model Number BFHS2611LM0 My ice maker was not making ice so I replaced the water valve which fixed the problem. It worked for just a week or two though and now it is not making ice again. The tray is filled up with ice, but it won't harvest it. I removed the ice maker and the ice cubes and put it back in. After putting it back in I turned the small gear shaft counterclockwise (last time I did this it started a cycle that progressed on it's own until it filled with water again). This time nothing happens. Is it possible that now the ice maker is bad too? Just seems like a weird coincidence. Thanks Aaron
1 Answer Aaron, If the icemaker will not go into a cycle then it would be an issue with the icemaker and will need replaced. Read More...
