Bill April 03, 2015 for Model Number PDS22MISBBB The flipper on the icemaker is in the out position, is it supposed to be? What does it do and if it needs to be in what holds it there?
1 Answer Hello Bill, If the harvest rake is out of position, you will need to replace the icemaker assembly 2198597. Read More...
Mg01 April 03, 2015 for Model Number PSCS5RGXAFSS Our 5-1/2-yr-old GE Profile side-by-side dispenses water fine, but is not making ice. How can I decide whether to replace the ice maker or the dual inlet water valve (both repairs look pretty straightforward)? One response to a previous question asked if water is getting up to the ice maker - what is the best way to test for this (i.e., is the fill tube frozen or is water just not coming up from the valve)? I tried using a hair dryer on the inlet to the ice maker, and that did not seem to help. I poured water into the ice maker and it is still liquid after nearly 4 hours (freezer temperature is 0 F), so I'm suspecting that the ice maker is not getting cold enough and that it is probably the faulty part. What else should I do to diagnose the cause of the problem? Thanks for the help!
1 Answer MG, Disconnect the wires from the ice maker solenoid on the fill valve WR57X10070 (red colored solenoid) attach a meter set for voltage or a test light to the wires. At the ice maker in the freezer, make sure the ice maker is on, press the auto off lever in and out 3 times within 5 seconds. The ice maker should start a test cycle in a second or so, if the test starts then observe the meter or light, in approx. 2 minutes, when the control reaches the fill increment, there should be 120 VAC at the wires. If the ice maker doesn't start the test cycle, or there is no voltage to the fill valve, then replace the ice maker. If there is voltage present, then replace the fill valve. Read More...
Matthew March 09, 2015 for Model Number PSS26SM Icemaker wasn't making ice. Replaced the WR30X10044 with a WR30X10093. It made ice for 4 days perfectly and on the 5th day it had ice all over the ejector arm and it froze into one big clump of ice during harvest. Any suggestions? Did I not have the rotating ejector arm in the correct position when I installed it? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Matthew, This sounds like you most likely have either a water pressure issue to the unit or the water valve is going into failure. For more specifics please verify the units' model number from the units' I.D. tag and re-post. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...

Chet February 13, 2015 for Model Number DSHF5PGXCEBB I have this ice maker unit OEM installed as part of my GE refrigerator. The refrigerator is fed from my RO water supply. The cubes seem to be connected to each other just slightly when dispensed. Is there a "cube size"/"water fill time" adjustment for this ice maker to prevent this as there is on many other styles of ice makers? Thanks.
1 Answer Chet, There is not a set screw for this icemaker to adjust the water fill. You will want to make sure that you do not have the filter in the unit and have the bypass plug in place. If the filter is in and the unit being on a RO system, this can cause there to be lower water pressure and not allowing the water valve to shut off completely. If this happens water will continue to flow slowly causing the cubes to be connected. Read More...
Dave February 05, 2015 for Model Number GSS25TSWASS How do I know if the water valve is the problem or if it is the ice maker?
1 Answer Hello Dave, Most of the time one of two conditions will be present if the water valve WR57X10070 is at fault: The fill tube will be frozen or the ice tray will be empty, (or both). If there is ice in the tray and the fill tube is not frozen, the icemaker WR30X10093 is normally the problem. Read More...
Cara January 20, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore refrigerator model 363.9557710 Previously, the water was feeding the ice maker and overflowing into the ice bin, creating a huge block of ice. I replaced the ice maker and now the water won't feed it. The water dispenser works so I don't know where the problem is.
1 Answer Hello Cara. You need to check and see if the fill tube is frozen and clogged on the unit. If so, thaw it out and replace the water valve WR57X10051 on the unit. Read More...

John January 19, 2015 for Model Number TFX25JR ?TFT25JR The refrigerator is around 18 years old. The ice maker works good except for the cube closest to the water valve. It hangs and must be manually removed. If not removed, the maker stops. What can be done or should the ice maker be replaced?
1 Answer Hello John. It sounds like the water valve may be bad on the unit. Not letting in enough water. Read More...
Bill January 18, 2015 for Model Number ps123mgma ww Ge fridge was dispensing water fine, but after a long vacation we came back to no water coming out. Some ice did form around the flapper door and tube, but we got rid of that but still no water.
1 Answer Bill, With the ice forming around the flapper door you will want to replace the flapper but also this would have caused the water line in the door to freeze. The only way to correct this would be to let it thaw out. Otherwise it would require the door to be replaced. Read More...
