Jc July 14, 2015 for Model Number PFSS6PKXASS The ice in the ice bin recently started freezing into a clump. It seems like water is leaking into it, or a defrost cycle is melting it a bit and then re-freezing. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello JC. You will need to check and see if the icemaker is over filling. If the icemaker is overfilling, replace the water valve. However, if the icemaker is leaking and not overfilling, just replace the icemaker. Read More...
Gina May 09, 2015 for Model Number PFSF6PKXAWW Ice maker makes ice but does not dispense unless I heat it up with hair dryer. Is this the mold thermostat? How do I check this?
1 Answer Gina, If the icemaker fills and forms the ice but does not release the ice from the mold, this would be caused by a faulty heater on the icemaker in which the icemaker would need to be replaced. Read More...
Robert March 13, 2015 for Model Number PFSF6PKWBBB I have replaced the icemaker and the auger motor. It still will not make crushed ice. Any ideas? Thank you, Bob
1 Answer Hello Robert. You will need to see if the solenoid WR29X10077, is activating when the paddle is pressed. If so, then something is broken in the bucket. If not, then the control board on the unit may be bad. Read More...
Bob March 01, 2015 for Model Number PFSF6PKWBBB The icemaker seems to produce ice then it won't ...also the ice crusher no longer crushes ice. It seems that if you don't use the icemaker it stops producing ice. Once you use it ..it will start producing ice but very limited.
1 Answer Hello Bob. It sounds like the icemaker needs to be replaced. As for the crusher issue, check and make sure the bucket is no broken. If not, then check the solenoid for the crushed ice. Read More...
Jamesd August 23, 2014 for Model Number pfss6pkw / pfsf6pkw Our icemaker door has been stuck closed for some time. We defrosted and it still was jammed. We tried turned the ice crusher manually to see if that would help, and it made it open a little more. We then tried running the dispenser to loosen it, and apparently the ice maker itself got knocked down off its mounting on the top of the compartment -- worsening the problem Now we're stuck. How can we get into this drawer to assess what's wrong without destroying the whole drawer assembly? I'm afraid that kind of expense might make ice trays not so bad anymore. This whole thing seems like a really bad design.
1 Answer James, If the icemaker is jammed in the bin where you cannot get the bin out, then you will basically have to force it out. There is not a easy way to remove the bin or the front of the bin in hopes of dislodging the icemaker. Read More...
Kellie June 04, 2014 for Model Number ZFSB26DRDSS My ice maker produces plenty of ice but it will not dispense. I bought a new motor for the ice maker, expecting that to take care of the dispensing problem. It didn't fix it. I've double checked all my connections. What should my next step be?
1 Answer Hello Kellie. You will need to check the micro-switch in the dispenser assembly. Also, make sure there is no broken wires in the unit. Read More...
Danielle March 19, 2014 for Model Number PFSS6PKWASS Is there any good way to determine if it is the icemaker or the motor that needs to be replaced? I went out of town for a few days and returned to my icemaker not working and frozen up into icemaker. I defrosted it, but it is no longer making ice. The propeller to push ice forward in tray still working. Thanks so much
1 Answer Danielle, Based on the description it sounds like icemaker motor has failed and the icemaker would need to be replaced. Part number WR30X10097. Read More...
K Vandewater February 23, 2014 for Model Number PFSS6PKW Ice maker slowly stopped making ice. I don't know if the white plastic lever on the side of the ice maker controls when the machine makes ice. The lever seems to be in the up position. Also i can't see where the water line is attached to the icemaker. How can I tell if the whole ice maker needs to be replaced?
1 Answer K. Vandewater, You will want to pull the icemaker out of the unit and check to make sure that the fill tube that comes into the icemaker to make sure that it is not frozen. This would be one cause for the unit to slowly stop making ice. The other issue would be caused by a faulty icemaker. Read More...
Clara November 20, 2013 for Model Number GE PROFILE MODELPFSS6PKWBSS Can I order just the part in the maker that turns in the middle to make the ice come out the door?
Gus September 17, 2013 for Model Number PFSF6PKXAWW My GE Profile refrigerator is about 6 years old and has never made more that about 4 glass-fulls of ice (about half the bucket) and is rather slow in making ice. What is it that limits the ice quantity in the bucket and is there something I can adjust so that there's more ice?
1 Answer Gus, " Under normal operating conditions, the icemaker is capable of producing approximately 100-130 cubes (approximately 4.3 pounds of ice) in a 24-hour period. The rate of ice production depends on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door/drawer openings, and other use conditions". The fill cycle and the incoming water temperature and pressure also affect the ice production. Make sure that the refrigerator water supply is not attached to a "RO" (reverse osmosis) filter system, and that there is at least 32 PSI water pressure at the fill valve connection on the back of the refrigerator. It sounds like you have poor water flow/pressure to the fill valve and it takes several fill cycles to produce a proper sized cubes and cycle the ice maker. Read More...
