Mark 2 June 07, 2012 for Model Number GI15NDXTS2 Regarding previous question / answer for thin ice and replacing the fan motor kit AP4318657 - is there a coil or solinoid that might have went bad for this fan motor to go bad? What would cause the fan motor to stop working ? This unit is only 2 years old and I already changed a water pump on it
1 Answer Hello Mark. If power is coming to the motor, but it is not running, it is just a bad fan motor. They do break down over time. Also, the coils under the unit needs to be clean. If dirty, they can cause the motor to over heat and go bad. Read More...
Mark 2 June 06, 2012 for Model Number GI15NDXTS2 1. Turn unit on runs through full cycle makes very thin sheet of ice `1/8 inch thick 2. 2nd cycle same as the first 3. Unit then does not make any more ice - it seems to be running hot. I do not see the fan kicking on ? 4. If fan does not run could it cause these types of thin slabs ?
1 Answer Hello Mark 2. Yes, if the condenser fan motor is not running, it can cause the unit not to produce the correct ice in the machine. Also, if you replace the fan motor, and the ice is still thin, it may have damaged the sealed system on the unit. Read More...
Mark May 21, 2012 for Model Number GI15NDXTS2 If the dryer is NOT hot - does this mean we have a leak in the system?
1 Answer Hell Mark. You will need to look and you will see a solenoid in the sealed system lines. Try tapping on that solenoid and see if the unit starts to freezer the ice and the drier starts to get warm. If so, the solenoid WPW10206473 will need to be replaced. Read More...
Mark May 21, 2012 for Model Number GI15ndxts2 I will double chk the fan and see if the dryer is getting warm what type of freon is used in this system? Where is the dry located at and what does it look like - is it shaped like an egg ? in my prvious questions you mentioed cleaning the coils - I only noticed one coil located on the bottom front of the unit - it did have some dust bunny's on it. of which I removed. Is there another coil that I am missing?
1 Answer Hello Mark. Here is a picture of the drier W10843121. The unit type of freon should be listed on the model tag as well. The coil you found is correct on the unit. Read More...
Mark Again May 21, 2012 for Model Number GI15NDXTS2 Cleaned coil, turned unit on, fan is running,on first harvest go very thin layer of ice, then nothing after that. The unit just runs. Seems to run normal not freezing. Whats you thoughts?
1 Answer Hello Mark. It sounds like you may have a sealed system issue going on with the unit. You will need to check and make sure the filter drier is getting warm and that the pressures are running correct in the system. They are listed on the model number tag, and you will need to have some guages to check this. Read More...
Mark May 08, 2012 for Model Number GI15NDXTS2 Model GI15NDXTS2 SERIAL NUMBER E00304106 IS NOT MAKING ICE. 1. Turn unit on water enters into resvor. 2. After fill the water pump kicks on and transfers water to the top of frezzing plate water runs over freezing plate. 3. Water runs over freezing plate but ice slab never forms - freezing plate seems to be cold not sure if its cold enough. 4. does problem lie with in the main board? compressor ? or condensor ? 5. This unit is only 2 years old and water pump hs already been changed 6 What are you thouths
1 Answer Hello Mark. Check and make sure the condenser coils are clean and the fan motor is running properly. If so, and the unit does not freezer the water on the plate, you have a bad sealed system on the unit. It may be low on freon or restricted. Read More...
Igor March 15, 2012 for Model Number KUIC15PLTS2 Problem: Compressor not starting. "Service" light blinks. I bought and changed valve, but didn't change any thing. Water is not coming throw and main pump stops after 15 seconds. There is no power going to compressor's contactor. Would you recomend to change the main board?. Icemaker worked for almost two years without inline filter and I didn't see any filter inside the machine. Please give me idea where to start and what to order?! Thanks a lot
1 Answer Hello Igor. Yes, if there is no power going to the compressors main control board, you will need to replace the main control board WPW10141364. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
