Joelg October 31, 2012 Hi - is this a compatible replacement for IceMaker 241709804 ? My ref model is FGHC2344KF1. Thanks very much. Joel
Teddy October 30, 2012 for Model Number LGHC2342LFO I don't have any problem with the ice maker itself, but the front portion (plastic) is broken, so the ice cubes would drop into the freezer. Is there any way that I can just replace the front portion or do I need to replace the whole kit? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Teddy, Parts for the ice maker are available, so if you want to replace a single part of the ice maker, it is a feasible repair. I'm guessing that the part you need is the scraper 5304458390. If this isn't the correct part, let us know and give a bit more descriptive information on it and we will get you the part number.

Norm C. October 20, 2012 for Model Number GLRS267ZDW4 I have a Frigidaire and was having problems with the ice maker. I just replaced the water supply valve PN 241734302 with a new part and it seems to be working great. I can disconnect the ice maker water supply line, and when the ice maker cycles there is good water flow for about 7 to 9 seconds, but I'm still not getting water in to the ice maker. What am I missing.
1 Answer Hello Norm, Check the fill tube at the back of the cabinet where the water pours in. Many times, when the water valve fails, the fill tube will freeze solid. If this ice is clear, it is invisible until you try to run something into the fill tube. If it is frozen, you can thaw it out in about 15 minutes by blowing it with a hair dryer. Read More...
Michael June 06, 2012 for Model Number FRS26R2AW8 My ice maker is a Frigidaire and you cannot lift tines to advance or turn the gear CCW or CW and there is no V-L to test the cycle. There is a brass plate with 3 screws but it says do not remove with the power on. So can I advance my ice maker FRS26R2AW8 ?
1 Answer Hello Michael. Based on the model number you provided, 5304458371 is the correct icemaker for the unit. This icemaker does have the large gear behind the white cover that can be turned to advance the icemaker and cycle the icemaker. You need to use a straight screwdriver and turn the gear about 1/4 round to start the icemaker. Read More...
Michael June 06, 2012 for Model Number FRS26R2AW8 How often should a ice maker cycle, and how long does it take to cycle generally speaking? How do you advance the ice maker?
1 Answer Hello Michael, This depends on two things: operating temperature inside the freezer compartment and the temperature of the water upon fill. Normally an icemaker that is inside a freezer that doesn't drop below 0°F, (as recommended by the manufacturers), with water no warmer than 70°F will cycle about every 90 minutes. It takes about two and a half minutes for the cycle to complete. One thing I must mention that greatly affects harvest time is how often the door is opened. Think about it like this: Cold air is heavier than warm air. When the door is opened, the cold air drops out and warm, room temperature air rushes in to take its' place. This means that each time the door is opened, the harvest time is extended by at least 20 minutes, (depending on how much is in the unit to hold the temperature down). This means basically that if you are checking on the icemaker every hour or so, the unit cannot produce the ice that it could if the door were left closed. Cycling the icemaker on a GE style can be done by grasping the harvest fingers and pulling them to rotate in a clockwise direction. You can hear the icemaker motor running when it starts cycling on its' own. Read More...
Michael June 06, 2012 for Model Number FRS26R2AW8 Frigidaire Ice Maker makes ice but only 6-8 cubes. My water softener went down for three days for parts and i forgot to turn off my RO till the next morning. I flushed my RO and turned the water back on now my ice maker only makes 6-8 cubes.I blew out both supply and line going to the ice maker?
1 Answer Hello Michael. If the icemaker will cycle and make 6 to 8 cubes and won't continue to cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker 5303918344. If the unit cycles, but is not filling with water, you may have a bad water filter wfcb, or the water valve 242252702 is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Benjamin May 09, 2012 for Model Number PHSC39EESS1 Ice Maker PN241621901 Our ice maker was not dispensing ice properly. The cubes would get stuck on the top of the ice maker and would not drop into the Ice bind. I removed the ice maker and cleaned it off and reinstalled. Now the system keeps cycling the water and it keep fill up with water and won't stop cycling to fill the trays with water. I see the replacement ice maker, but I don't see the harness wiring. First is there something I can do to adjust the present unit for proper operation? If not are the harness wiries included with the ice maker. Thank you Benjamin
1 Answer Hello Benjamin. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the icemaker 5303918344 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. It Includes power cord, fill cup and bail arm. Read More...
Jerry April 14, 2012 for Model Number FSC23F7TDS7 ICE MAKER HAS STOPPED. After returning from a trip the icemaker bin was full. We used all that ice, no new ice. I checked all the water connections- OK, water dispenser works fine. I found the water filler tube in the upper left rear corner of the freezer was clogged with ice. I used a hair dryer to melt the ice. All water and electrical connections seem fine.Holding down the on/off switch causes the ice ejector to move. Any other ideas or do I need to replace the whole unit?
1 Answer Hello Jerry. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the water valve 242252702 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Brian April 07, 2012 for Model Number LGHC2342LF2 Our icemaker seems to work fine, (creating and dispensing ice), but about a week ago we started hearing a loud whirling sound when it cycles through the dispensing process. We have had this unit for over a year and this is the first time we could actually hear this sound. It always occurs when the ice is being ejected from the maker, (or when manually cycled with the on/off switch). Could we have gears stripping out or is something else happening?
1 Answer Hello Brian, When the icemaker 5303918344 starts making this noise, it is in the process of complete failure. I would turn it off until I could replace it to avoid flooding the house as this condition can cause the icemaker to stick in any given position, including the fill. Read More...
Jamey March 02, 2012 for Model Number fphs2387kf4 The switch on the front of the ice maker is tripped. Ice is frozen in tray, but won't dump. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Jamey. Based on the information you provided, the icemaker 5303918344 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. It sounds like the heater is out in the icemaker. Hope this helps. Read More...
