Diy In Richmond March 15, 2012 for Model Number 59292991 My freezer has a solid sheet of ice on the bottom. I thawed it out and found a drain in the back. I poured warm water through it and thought that would fix it. What should I check next? It has to becoming from the ice maker, which still makes ice, but I cant find or see where there is a leak?
1 Answer Hello. The defrost drain freezing up is a common issue and is not necessarily related to the ice maker. The water comes from the defrost water which is where the frost is melted off of the evaporator coils. Once you clear the drain you should run a piece if weed eater line through it to insure nothing has dropped into the drain, otherwise the drain may refreeze. If the ice maker is still producing, the water is not coming from there. As long as the drain is chased with the weed eater line. you have cured the problem. I would still pour about 2 tablespoons of white vinegar in the drain to prevent algae formation in the drain trap. I hope this was useful information for you and have a great day! Read More...

Travis September 29, 2011 for Model Number Amana- Distinctions Side by Side Refrigerator My refrigerator stays cold, but the compressor doesn't know when to shut off. When I turn the temperature control down it cycles off, but within minutes the compressor turns back on and doesn't shut off. I have turned the defrost timer to try to cycle it off also, and it works. I have cleaned underneath the unit and behind. Not sure what is going on here? This may be a repeat question cause I didn't see it post when I hit the button below- Sorry!
1 Answer Hello Travis. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the cold control in the unit is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Ice Water September 01, 2011 I have a whirlpool side by side refrigerator with the ice maker that works with an infra red detector to shut off when the ice bin is full.

Bill L August 20, 2011 for Model Number 52 gallon water heater made by GE (hotpoint) ser.# VM 7473209 I think one of the elements have quit working and need advice.Thanks
1 Answer Bill, It's a simple check if you have a multimeter TJMA-DMT3 . Turn the power off to the water heater, remove the cover panel,and the interior cover, disconnect the wires at the elenment terminal and check for a "Closed" circuit. One indication of an open element is, the hot water is not as hot as usual or the hot water doesn't last as long as usual. You could also turn off the power, turn off the water and drain the tank. Then remove the elements and visually check for a broken, detiriorated element(s) as well. Good Luck Read More...

1 Answer Hello Aquiles! Is the icemaker filling with water? If not, make sure that the fill tube is not frozen. If it is not frozen, check and replace the valve WR57X33326. If the icemaker if filling with water, make sure that the freezer is freezing properly between 0-5 degrees. If it is freezing properly, replace the ice maker WR30X10093. Thanks. Read More...
1 Answer Hello James. The first part you would want to check is your thermostat. If this part fails, the unit will not get the signal to the compressor telling it to turn off. You may also want to find your condensor coils (usually on the back or bottom of the appliance) and make sure those are clean. I hope this info helps. Read More...
