John August 06, 2012 for Model Number frigidaire plrs267zab8 My ice maker was not filling up at all, it would sound like it but nothing. So I thought something might be frozen and I unplugged the fridge for about 4 hours. Well, after I turned it on low and behold the ice maker is filling up with no problem, but now my problem is the ice maker won't turn off after it cycles through even if I put the arm up in the off position. It continually runs and filling over and over dumping water out of it into the freezer. What is it supposed to be doing once an hour is continually cycling over and over is there a remedy or should I purchase a new ice maker?
1 Answer Hello John, The bale arm on the ice maker should turn the ice maker off when the arm cannot fully return. This is a bad on/off switch in the ice maker 5304458371. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Lynne. Remove the ice bucket and raise the arm on the old icemaker. Remove the screw securing the icemaker to the inside wall on the bottom and loosen the top screws and lift the icemaker off the screws. Then unplug the old icemaker. Make sure and connect the wires on the new icemaker 5304458371 good and install the icemaker to the wall. Read More...
Ken October 07, 2011 for Model Number FRS6LR5EM2 Hi Ken. The bail arm has to be down. Is it plugged in? Is there any ejecter blades jammed so the rotation does not work? Is the waterline kinked in back of the unit? Is the water fill tube correctly placed in the back? Is the I/Maker level? Thank you. Yes, it is plugged in and there are no problems with jammed blades. The water line is fine and it is level.
1 Answer Hello Ken. No, the icemaker has to get cold before the unit will cycle and bring in water. Sometimes this can take 4 to 6 hours depending on the temperature of the freezer. If it has not produced ice within 24 hours, then most likely the valve is bad and not the icemaker 5304458371. Hope this helps. Read More...
Ken October 07, 2011 for Model Number FRS6LR5EM2 Ice maker stopped. No water getting to it. Repair Tech came out and said the ice maker itself was bad and that the valve was okay. I replaced the ice maker and still after an hour do not have water coming to it. The tube appears to be free of ice. Someone told me it would take 24 hours to harvest the first batch of ice but shouldn't there be water coming to it now?

Teej September 20, 2011 for Model Number 2537452240 In Kenmore branded refrigerator/ice maker, the ice in the tray is being melted then re-freezing. It appears there is a heater element in the bottom of the ice maker that comes on to loosen the cubes before they are dumped into the tray. I suspect this heater is overheating or staying on too long, partially melting the cubes below which then re-freeze once the heater turns off. Is there any fix or adjustment for this other than replacing the entire unit.
1 Answer Hi Teej. The icemaker is part # [AP39666072]. The contacts in the head assy. have gotten sticky and allow the heater to stay on longer then necessary. Thank you. Read More...
Fred September 14, 2011 for Model Number FRS26BH5CW0 The other night I made a lot of crushed ice. The next morning when I wanted to get crushed ice by using a glass to press against the lever, it only clicked and nothing came out. The same thing happens if I switch to cubes. Also the filter light only lights up when I try to get either crushed ice or cubes. Do you have any suggestions as to what might be causing this?
1 Answer Hello Fred. Check and see if there is any loose wires on the dispenser board or the auger motor. If not, you will need to replace the power board 241708202 in the dispenser. Hope this helps. Read More...

Dennis August 31, 2011 for Model Number frs26r4cq3 After the water fills the ice maker, about how long until the ice is ejected?
1 Answer Dennis, The average cycle time of the icemaker is 1 hour, under proper, ideal conditions( good water pressure and a freezer air temp of 3 to 5 degrees and not overstuffed with packages) and it could take as much as 90 minutes, but that's not the norm. When you first install or power up the refrigerator, it could take as much as 18 to 24 hours, for the icemaker to get cold enough to cycle, and fill and dump enough ice to flush the system and produce proper ice cubes. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Den August 30, 2011 for Model Number frs26r4cq3 Icemaker problem. The first ice cube(not realy cube size) position where the water first enters the ice holders. This ice cube keeps turning side ways and falls back in its holder and jams the ejector forks about once or twice a day. Nothing appears to be broken. What is the solution for this? I have had the frigidaire for 8 years with no problem.
1 Answer Hello Den. If the ice cubes are not large enough, you will need to replace the water valve 242252702. If they are too small, they will jam the fingers of the icemaker. Hope this helps. Read More...
