Mark D August 23, 2014 My refrigerator ice maker stopped making ice. I first changed out the ice maker.....still no ice.......then I changed out the valve. How long should it take to make ice?
1 Answer Mark, Depending on the model and the temperature in the freezer will determine how long it takes to make ice. On a top freezer with minimal opening of the freezer and the temp being at 0 degrees, there will be approximately 8 cubes (on a standard 8 cube icemaker) made every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. On side by side refrigerator and bottom freezer would be about the same. There are some units that based on the design can reduce the time of making ice down to 1 hour. If your icemaker is still not making ice then check the fill tube to make sure that it is not frozen where it comes into the freezer compartment to the icemaker. Read More...
Greg O June 23, 2014 for Model Number FRS26H5AS My ice maker is making less ice than normal. I hear the harvest cycle start, and sometimes the fill valve will open and close almost right away. Other times the harvest cycle will occur and no fill occurs at all, and other times, it fills normally and produces normal-sized cubes. The harvest cycles seem to occur about once an hour or hour and 15 minutes. We changed the filters and there is good pressure at the water spout on the freezer door. Any ideas what to look for or fix?
1 Answer Hello Greg. If the power to the water valve stops before the icemaker is full, you will need to order and replace the icemaker in the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

1 Answer Brad, If the bail arm is not moving up and down and the icemaker sounds like it has stripped gears then you would need to replace the icemaker assembly. Read More...
Toni B. February 12, 2014 for Model Number GLHS36EEW5 It seems that sometimes I have a clicking and the ice is stuck in one spot so I removed and it works great and than it happens again. So would you say to replace the whole unit?

Claude November 04, 2013 for Model Number frs26r4cbe My icemaker makes ice but water leaks down the back inside and in the ice ben. I then get ice all over the inside of the freezer. All so I can only get crushed ice, no cubs at the door dispenser. What should I do? Thank You
1 Answer Hello Claude. If the icemaker is overfilling, replace the water valve. However, if the icemaker is leaking, just replace the icemaker. Read More...

Phillip August 01, 2013 for Model Number MRS22WREW1 I was told to replace the icemaker in my fridge. What is the number on the icemaker so I make sure I get the right part please, and will the new icemaker match up 100% like the old one so I will be able to install it?
Michelle August 01, 2013 for Model Number 241851251 A piece broke off of the ice dispenser (we think) and came out into the cup, and now we only get cubed ice even when "crushed" button is pressed. What part do we need?
1 Answer Michelle, The model number that is listed is not showing as a good model. We would need to have the correct model to be able to assist properly.Please post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Sissy June 02, 2013 for Model Number FRS6R5ES84 My ice maker has stopped making ice. I still get the water from the door. The ice maker is not making any noise like when the water would fill up I hear no noise at all. I have put the handle up and down several times today. Do I need to order a replacement ice maker? Or can you tell me what else I can look at.
1 Answer Sissy, You will want to pull the icemaker out and check to make sure that the fill tube that comes into the icemaker is not frozen. A frozen fill tube will cause no ice. If frozen then you will want to clear the ice and replace the water valve. If it is clear then you will want to cycle the icemaker and check to make sure that you are getting 120 vac to the water valve when the icemaker calls for water. If not then replace icemaker and if so then replace the valve. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
