Questions & Answers

For Frigidaire Dispenser Control Board (Module) (Part Number: OEM17856693)

Eve for Model Number LGHC2342LF3

We have a 2012 Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator freezer. Over the past year the ice maker flapper will not stay open. However if we stick our hand up there and hold it the ice will dispense. We are very handy and did some sleuthing online to see what the problem may be. We have tried replacing the flapper part, the panel, the solenoid and tested the dispenser switch for continuity with a multimeter (which was good) and none of them have solved the problem. Any idea of what else it could be?

DNJ, you may want to inspect the evaporator assembly to ensure that there is a frost pattern on the evaporator. If there is a good frost pattern (light snow covering the evap coils) then the most likely issue is the thermistor 240597220 has failed and is not registering the proper resistance. If there is a light frost pattern (less than half of the coils covered) then there may be a sealed system issue and would require a licensed technician for repairs.

Richard, Before you replace the 242074216 Dispenser Module, check to make sure there are no loose wires or connections at the pc board. The dispenser module is a "sealed unit" individual parts aren't available, and the module will need to be replaced. The part is in stock and available at this time. Thanks,

George, You will want to check the ice cube crush solenoid located next to the auger motor to make sure that it is not stuck in the up position or being damaged. This will be the most likely cause for the issue.
