Lloyd February 28, 2022 for Model Number 79570323310 My ice tray does not fully empty. I originally replaced my fill valve thinking it was sticking and causing tray to overfill. Does this icemaker have a fill level adjustment on it? It seems to me my tray is still over filling and my filter and fill valve are new.
1 Answer Lloyd, as the ice maker is not releasing ice properly, the failure would be the tray not twisting by the motor fully. Replacing the ice maker will allow the motor to twist the tray properly and cause a proper fill. Unfortunately, the fill level can not be changed. Read More...
Dave August 04, 2021 for Model Number 795.72183.315 I have a Kenmore Elite fridge with an ice maker. The ice maker stopped dispensing the ice so I replaced the ice maker kit with the matching part number AEQ73110203. I ordered it from Appliance Parts Pros, installed the first one with ease and the ice still would not dispense the ice into the ice container. I am on my third ice maker which I installed yesterday. It still only starts to turn about an inch to dispense the ice when ready and stops. I can remove the ice cube container and hit the test button and the tray turns and twists and dispenses the ice. I can't get it to dispense the ice automatically?? HELP!
1 Answer Hello Dave, the problem is not the ice maker. This model ref control board will not start an ice harvest until the thermistor in the ice maker reaches a temp of 0 deg. So first check the temp of the ice maker area, if not cold enough check the freezer section temp, if reaching 0 deg then likely the ice maker fan ABA72913415 located on the left side of the freezer evap cover is faulty and not pushing enough freezer air to the ice maker.

Huy February 15, 2021 for Model Number LMX28988ST My ice maker stopped making ice. Part # in the back is EAU60783826, which seems to be discontinued. What are the replacements? Does AEQ73110203 work?
1 Answer Huy, the ice maker AEQ73110205 would be used with the model provided. (Note: 14 cube - IMPORTANT: The secondary smaller wire connector has 6 wires in it. If your original ice maker has a 3 wire connector, see part number AEQ73110203. Verify your connector before ordering.) Read More...
Alan October 21, 2020 for Model Number LG LMX28988SB My LG refrigerator doesn't make any ice. The ice maker resets correctly and water comes out just fine, but no ice! I have replaced the refrigerator sensor and the temp is set correctly. Still no ice. Freezer temp is correct as well. Filter has been changed properly every 6 months. Mechanically the ice maker works! So, I have no idea! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you
1 Answer Alan, it would be recommended that the ice maker fan in the freezer section is inspected to identify if it is able to send cold air to the ice maker. This can be easily checked by opening the left refrigerator door and holding down the door switch while checking for airflow at the vent where the door presses into the sidewall. If there is good airflow, the next step would be to verify the temperature in the freezer with a thermometer as it is possible that there might be a temperature offset. If these all check ok, then the failure would most likely be in the ice maker itself. For the most accurate parts information, the series/revision number would be necessary. Read More...
Charlie July 21, 2020 for Model Number Kenmore 795.7205 ice maker top unit My ice maker is jammed downward and I had to shut it off. Looks like my wife broke something on the right side of the unit. The unit needs to be replaced. I took out the screws that hold the unit and the back panel. I don't know how to disconnect the multi-plug. Is there a pop out on the side or on the flat portion? I'm concerned I might break the release tab. If I can disconnect the electrical plug, the whole unit will pull out and I can buy the replacement. Can you help with the electrical plug?
1 Answer Charlie, unfortunately, the model number provided appears to be a partial model. If the full model could be provided in a new question, this will allow for the most accurate information to be presented. Generally speaking, if there is a center lock tab it can be pressed in while pulling the connector. If there are "wings" sticking out on the side they can be pressed in while pulling the connector.

Marie March 10, 2020 for Model Number LFX25973ST ICE MAKER - PLASTIC PIECE ON END OF WIRE MAY BE BROKEN, CANNOT TELL FROM YOUR DIAGRAM. ALSO, CANNOT TELL. HOW MANY WIRES ENCLOSED BY THE PLASTIC NOR CAN WE DETERMINE WHERE THAT PLASTIC PIECE WOULD PLUG INTO. END OF LITTLE WIRE TUBE WAS DISLODGED WHEN DOOR WAS FORCED SHUT. NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO ORDER - LG PARTS NOT READILY AVAILABLE HERE IN RURAL GEORGIA. THANKS.
Jud March 08, 2020 for Model Number LFX25974ST The ice maker is making a loud clicking sound, I believe during the dumping process. It sounds like gears clicking. I think it clicks for a minute or so and then stops not to do it again for a long but unmeasured amount of time. Is there a particular part known for this behaviour or is there recommendations on where to start troubleshooting the issue.
1 Answer Jud, The gears of the motor in the ice maker are plastic and if the ice cant dump or the tray twist then the gears will click. The repair for this is to replace the ice maker. Read More...
Frank January 16, 2020 for Model Number LFX29945ST00 Ice maker does not make/harvest ice. It appears that when the ice is made and the motor turns on to push the ice out of the maker the tray starts to rotate but stops. The motor makes a couple clicks like gears are not meshing/stipped and the tray returns to the starting position without dumping the ice and the motor turns off. Does this ice maker have a cube tray heater and could this not be working so the ice cannot be removed?
1 Answer Frank, this ice maker would not use a heater as it is a flextray style ice maker. The clicking that is being heard from the ice maker motor would certainly be gears that are skipping and not allowing the tray to rotate properly. Read More...
Rick November 09, 2019 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 795.72042.313 Hello, I’m still working on the issue of my ice not harvesting. I checked the ports in the refrigerator that blow into the ice maker compartment. When the door switched are pushed, the fan starts and blow cold air from the freezer into the ice maker compartment. However, the ice maker compartment is still at 20 degrees. Is there something else I can check? Thanks, Rick
1 Answer Rick, the ice maker fan voltage would need to be tested at the main control to ensure it is receiving the proper operational voltage. At connection CON7 there will be a yellow/black wire, red wire, and blue wire next to each other. With the black probe of a meter staying on the blue wire, the red probe would go to the red wire and the DC voltage should measure 9-12VDC. Then the red probe would move to the yellow/black wire and should measure between .1 to 4.9VDC. If the main control is not sending 9-12VDC, the control CSP30021078 has failed. If the reads 0VDC or 5VDC, then the fan motor ABA72913413 has failed and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Rick October 31, 2019 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 795.72042.313 Hi, I checked the temperature in the ice compartment in the door and it is 20 degrees. What can I fix to get the temperature lower so the ice maker will self harvest? Thanks
1 Answer Rick, the ice fan ABA72913413 will need to be inspected for partial blocks and proper operation. When the refrigerator door is opened, there are two vents on the side of the cabin. With the door switch pressed in, there should be a good airflow coming through one vent. If not, then the fan is not pushing the air as it should. This would indicate that the freezer evaporator cover would need to be removed and the air duct inspected. If it is clear, then the most likely issue is the fan motor. Read More...
