Steve September 12, 2011 for Model Number 1MC701 My icemaker stopped dispensing or making ice several weeks ago.After, turning the ice function off then on again from the touch screen functions on the front of the side by side refrigerator doors. The ice maker seem to start making ice again for a day or so ,but very little ice was be generated then it started making a clicking noise that would sound like it was trying eject ice cubes but could not. I then unplugged the ice maker removed the unit,thawed out and removed cubes manually. In addition, me reset water filter indicator light has been ON( for months) and will not go off even after changing filter and holding button for 3 seconds as instructed. Do I Need to buy new ice maker unit ? Refrigerator that this ice maker is in is a GE Profile model#PFSS6PKXASS side by side refrig / bottom freezer. Ice make is located in upper left side of refrig. compartment.

Tony 3. July 28, 2011 for Model Number Refrigerator RF297AARS - Ice Maker part DA97-05422A I just finished replacing this Ice Maker and I have no way of determining whether I installed it right or not. On the right side of the unit there is a "test" switch, but pressing does nothing. Can somebody tell me what should happen once I press this test switch? How long do I have to wait to determine whether the new ice maker is working OK? Thanks.
1 Answer Hi Tony. When was the last time you changed your water filter? If it has been less than 6-mos. your light indicator should turn green. If you are after 5-mos. it will be orange, then at the 6th- mos., it will be red. This will adversly effect the ice maker fill and dispenser operation. Your ice maker is an automatic ice production type. Normally it takes 24 hrs to start production. Hopefully it already has started producing ice for you by now. Make sure that your ice maker arm is not touching the bin. It takes 6-hrs.to harvest a first ice.Throw away the first 2/3 x to make sure the ice /water fill is clean. The switch needs to be in the on position. It is extremely imperative that the ice maker is level for the inside level switch to tell the ice maker to function. Do this first by checking the top of the fridge for level . Side -to- side, front to back. The switch will turn off after sensing leveled tray,and tray tempurature for 2-hrs. Is the ice on cubes or crush on the control panel . Thank you. Read More...
Guest June 08, 2011 for Model Number SamsungRFG297 My spacemaker's ice maker is dripping water and a brown substance I assume is oil or freon. The machine is less than two years old. How easy is to install a new ice maker kit (part # AP4318629)?
1 Answer Hello. Typically replacing an icemaker is quite easy. First, look over the existing icemaker to see how it is secured to the wall of the appliance. Once you remove any restricting bands, braces, or screws the icemaker should slide right out. Unplug it, and reverse the process to reinstall the new one. I hope this info helps! Read More...
