Navin Engineer July 15, 2012 for Model Number JRSD2490TB I just boight part no. 12001414. it is dual water valve. i connected it as per your instructions. the problem is there was no electrical connection diagram with instructions!! i had problem with only ice maker. and had no problem with chilled water. after installing the part now icemaker is functioning nicely but now i dont get chilled water. when i press for chilled water, i can hear water coming into ice maker compartment and all water goes everywhere in ice maker compartment. can anyone help?
1 Answer Navin, First thing, Make sure you have made the proper water tube and wire connections at the "new" valve. The smaller water tube(1/4 in) to the icemaker should be attached to the "green" solenoid outlet, and the tan colored wire and a white(common) wire should be attached to the terminals. The larger tube(5/16 in.) should be attached to the orange colored solenoid outlet and the blak wire and a white (common) wire attached to the terminals. If all's OK, you will need to check for a minimum 20 psi (constant) pressure at the fill valve connection from the water supply line.( The higher the pressure, the better ). If alls OK, suspect a faulty "new" water valve assembly. Read More...
Mark H. April 20, 2012 for Model Number Maytay MF D2561 HEW The ice cube maker started leaking after the fan was replaced. The ice cube maker was removed and reinstalled and has progressively leaked worse. What do I need to do to access it (location?) and replace it?
1 Answer Hi Mark. Make sure the ice maker fill tube is properly placed in the ice maker fill cup. It places into the fill cup half way (50%). If it is under the ice maker or jammed in the incoming end, it will create a leak. When you pushed the unit back, did it inadvertently kink creating the water valve part # 12001414 to stay partially open and seep water continuously into the ice maker ? If the ice maker will not shut off then it needs replaced part # D7824706Q. The ice maker tells the water valve , hey I need 6-7 seconds of water from the valve. Pre-set the volt meter on the water valve terminals tight. Advance the ice maker for a forced fill. Are you getting 120 vac to the water valve ? Is it staying on too long ? I would use the digital capacitor Tester / Volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 . Thank You. Read More...
