Customer Questions and Answers for Ice Maker Assembly by Frigidaire

Hello Jerry, You will need to order and install a diode kit 5303918287 to correct this issue. This kit may be used for the replacement of diodes in ice and water-side by sides with a water filter. The diodes are part of the main harness. Thre is a black insulator that protects the diodes. The diodes are located on the wire that goes to the inlet valve (#1 single coil valve), Approximately 4" away from the valve. Testing Shorted diode: When you activate the dispenser and water comes out both the dispenser and ice maker fill tube, the harness needs replaced. Open Diode: If the icemaker diode fails open, the single water valve will not energize when the icemkaer is activated. If the dispenser diode fails open, the single valve will not energize when the dispenser is activated. Equipment needed: Voltmeter. 1. Activate dispenser, then check to see if there is voltage to the dispenser valve (Yellow Coil of the dual valve should have close to line voltage) and check the inlet valve (single valve #1 can be tan or green, should have 54 to 78 VAC) If no voltage to both the inlet valve (Single valve) and the dispenser valve (Yellow Coil) then : A. Check the freezer door wiring connector. B. Check the dispenser connections. If there is voltage to the dispenser valve (Yellow Coil) and not to the inlet valve (Single Valve) replace the diode harness. 2. Activate Ice maker (Check during icemaker fill, which is about 7.5 seconds), then check to see if there is voltage to Icemaker valve (Green Coil of the dual valve should have 95 to 105 vac) and check the inlet valve (Single valve #1 can be tan or green should have 42 to 58 VAC) If there is voltage to the icemaker valve (Green Coil) and not to inlet valve (Single Valve) Replace the diode harness. Replacement of Diode on Refrigerators with the single-coil valve by the condenser fan and two valves by the compressor: 1. Disconnect the power cord. 2. Remove the connector from the single-coil valve and remove the dark blue and yellow wires from the Molex connector. 3. Cut the two dark blue wires about 1" from the diode. (The diodes are inside the black heat shrink that the blue wire with yellow tracer goes into one end and the 2 blue and 2 yellow wires come out the other end). 4. Cut the yellow wire about 1" from diodes. 5. Remove old diode subassembly. 6. The 2 blue wires cut in step 3 need to be attached to the brown wire in the new diode harness with the connector provided. Slide the heat shrink over the wire first, install the connector and slide the heat shrink over connector and heat to seal the connector. 7. The 2 yellow wires cut in step 3 need to be attached to the yellow wire in the new diode harness with the connector provided. Slide the heat shrink over the wire first, install the connector and slide the heat shrink over connector and heat to seal the connector.

Traci, If there is ice in the area of the auger motor then you will want to check to make sure that the water supply coming to the icemaker pressure is not too high causing a leaking, Also, check to make sure that the tube is not freezing up causing water to overflow and get where the auger is.

Hello Mike, the ice maker sends power to the water valve for fill, if it has double filled, replace the ice maker 241798231.

Hello Robert, would you recheck the model number as it comes up as an invalid model number and repost your question and then we will be able to help you.

Dwayne, unfortunately, there would not be a way to change the harvest cycle time as the ice maker uses a bi-metal to detect when the ice has frozen enough to be able to cycle. The average cycle time of any ice maker is between 60 to 80 minutes per harvest. If it is taking longer than this, then the temperature of the section it is in would be a possible concern.

Hello Joe, If the bale arm is correctly installed in the side of the icemaker, the internal switch that turns the icemaker off when the ice bin is full has failed. If this is the case, the icemaker 5303918344 will need to be replaced.

Hello Jason, There are 3 settings for the water fill time. Settings 1,2, and 3 correspond to 4.6 sec, 5.8 sec, and 7.0 sec respectively. To change the fill size setting, press the CUBE button twice within two seconds. The FZ display will show ICE, and the FF display will show 1, 2, or 3 horizontal bars corresponding to the current fill size. Use the FF Up and Down buttons to change to the desired fill size. Press CUBE again to save the setting.

John, if you could provide the model number for your appliance in a new inquiry, this will allow for the most accurate information possible.

Collin, For this issue you would want to install an inline water filter if there is no water filter on the unit. If there is not one you could use filter part number 4392949.

Roy, This issue would most likely be that the water valve is not fully closing allowing water to seep through and overfill the tray.
