David January 05, 2020 for Model Number Kenmore 253.70343419 Hi there, I have an ice maker that quit working after we dumped a large bin of ice. I don’t know if it was coincidental or what. Our water pressure is great, so I don’t think it’s a low pressure issue unless it’s a faulty dual supply valve. The tray doesn’t have any ice in it; is there a way that I can run it through the diagnostic manual tests? Or any suggestions what might be the cause and where to look next? Thanks!
1 Answer David, This icemaker does not have a test button on it but if you get the tech sheet from under the front of the unit there should be a diagnostic mode that will allow you to test the icemaker functions. Read More...
Jay December 27, 2019 for Model Number LFHB2751TF2 My ice maker is not working, I have gone into the diagnostic mode and manually turned on the evap fan, water valve, tray twist and thermistor temp. All of those work perfect, I even bought a new ice maker. Is there a way to test the front panel to make sure the on/off setting is sending the right signal to the control board. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Jay, you'll want to make sure the ice maker compartment is defrosting, as it sounds like it could be a temperature issue on why the icemaker is not cycling properly. Hope this helps! Read More...
Paul November 30, 2019 for Model Number FPBS2777RF6 The ice maker (243297609) was not making ice. I replaced the ice maker and it's still not making ice. I also replaced the water regulator valve. The arm is in the up position. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Paul, We are sending you a tech sheet where you can test all parts of your ice maker. My assumption is the fan behind the ice maker is frozen up and not circulating air. This would prevent the ice maker from cycling. In the center section of the first page follow the instructions to activate the fresh food ice maker diagnostic guide. The main concern is the fan and keep in mind if you try and fill the ice maker with ice in the mold it will overflow so initiate the twist tray first to dump any ice. Remove the ice bucket and keep the door open so you can see and hear better what's going on in there. If the fan is frozen up you will probably need a seal kit because of refrigerator air leaking into the icebox area.5303918784 Read More...
Carl Fischer May 04, 2019 for Model Number fghf2369mf6 serial#4A23514419 replaced my ice maker and filter. now getting lots of water. plastic bin arm is in the up position and that's how it comes from the factory. how or when does the bin arm come down to start producing ice. you cannot force it
1 Answer Carl, No you cannot "force the bail arm into a position, but you do have to release the bail arm from the "locked/off" position. Just lightly press down on the bail arm until you feel it release from the internal stop, then the ice maker should start to cycle. Remember to "dump" the first few batches of ice cubes. Read More...
Carl Fischer April 27, 2019 for Model Number fghf2369mf6 bin arm on ice make locked in up position. is this normal. i'm not getting water or ice
1 Answer Hello Carl, it sounds like the icemaker part number 243297613 is defective since the arm should not stay in a full position. Thanks! Read More...
Sharon March 13, 2019 for Model Number Fghb2866pf4 The ice tray crimped and bent causing the ice maker not to work. Removed plastic tray and need to order a replacement, can’t find the part number. Ice maker still works, we now this because the next day we heard water running to fill tray and the ice bin was full if solid frozen ice, did not think to turn off ice maker
1 Answer Sharon, you will need to replace the entire icemaker, the plastic tray is not offered as a separate part number by the manufacturer. Read More...
Shane February 08, 2019 for Model Number 243297605 My ice tray broke so I replaced the whole ice maker as suggested, part 243297606. I have ice now but getting to much water in the tray and the ice cubes are frozen together. I can not find the adjustment value to shorten the water cycle. What can I do? What controls the timing of the fill valve? Thanks
1 Answer Shane, you may want to check to make sure that water is not continuously dripping from the water fill tube as this can cause the ice tray to overfill. If it is leaking by, you would want to change out the water valve. Another thing you may want to check is the water pressure. If the water pressure is not within tolerance, it can cause the valve solenoid to not engage and disengage properly. Read More...
Mike November 26, 2018 for Model Number fghb2866pena How do I keep my filler tube from freezing up. Sometimes I get 20 trays until it freezes, sometimes 2. Techs have been out 10 times with all the "fixes" from Electrolux. Do you have any suggestions?
1 Answer Mike, Has anyone checked the water pressure to the refrigerator at the water inlet valve. with an icemaker, water dispenser and reservoir and a filter you want /need to have 32 to 35 PSI for the system to maintain and work properly. check and flush the supply line, and make sure there aren't too many sharp bends or kinks in the line. Has anyone checked or replaced the ice maker cover/housing ? or checked and filled any gaps between the housing and the refrigerator walls ? Read More...
Ken October 11, 2018 for Model Number FGHB284444LFE My unit quit making Ice. I replace the ice maker, water valve, and filter. I also defrosted the unit prior to turning it on. The machine made 3 cubes ice. Its been the same now for 5 day. I see that the arm on the side of the maker is in the up position. Is that normal. what else should I check or change to fix the problem. Could the new ice maker be defective? Please help. Respectfully, Ken
1 Answer Ken, Check to make sure no evaporator fingers are bent and the mold moves to the fingers. There were some issues with the fingers being bent on these units. If the fingers are bent you would need a certified refrigeration tech out to repair your product. Read More...
Nik October 10, 2018 My frigidaire ice maker, model fphb2899lf8, is leaking water into the ice container, causing large chunks of ice to form. I replaced the water filter, but that didn't help. Do I need to replace the icemaker, part # 243297606?
1 Answer Nik, it sounds like your icemaker thermister may have fallen off of the bottom of the ice tray, you will need to replace the icemaker assembly, part number is 243297613 Read More...
