Brian June 04, 2012 for Model Number ARS2661BS Just hooked up the system and after trying to use the water dispenser on the door, it dripped very heavily. Enough to fill a cup within a few minutes. I have not tried to flush the system of all air, but I don't see a small bit of air pressure causing THAT much flow.
1 Answer Hi Brian. Understand that you replaced the water valve part # 12002193. It will normally take 1-gallon of water flushed through the water filter part # EDR4RXD1. It needs replaced every 6-mos.(750 gallons) of use. Activate the water valve for no longer then 6-seconds and let it rest for a few so that the new coils on the water valve will not overheat. If then after the air is completely flushed from the filter, tubing and water tank, and it still drips then this indicates a clogged water filter. Thank You. Read More...
Paul January 14, 2012 for Model Number DRS2660BW I need to replace the secondary water walve. The distrobution hoses are pressed in, not the screw in type. I can't figure out how to disconnect these 2 hoses. Can you help?
1 Answer Hello Paul. Yes, you will press in on the plastic fittings on the valve 12002193 and as you press the fittings in, you will pull the plastic lines out of the water valve. These are not hard to remove and replace. Hope this helps. Read More...
M. J. December 09, 2011 for Model Number ARS 9269B I think After chaning water filter I cleared the line. Worked normally, water emerged, then a bit of air then water again with a little blow out. I thought all was well. Then, withut prompting water started gushing out of water dispenser. Shut off water. Then panel seemd to indicate a power outage and it came back on while fridge was on. It did that one more time then panel seemd fine as is now. I unplugged fridge and made inspections. Dispensoer switch seems fine as it illuminates light when deressed so it must close. Then pwered back up with water hit dpesner and the water no longer flowed from dispensoer. I sipectec conenction at main inlet valve and secondary valve. All seemd fine. Disconenected water supply and copnfirm sufficent pressure to inlet valve. I then enpited ice tray andbeleove heard water enter tray. But stillnothing form dispensoer. That seems to conclude its the secondary valve assembly correct? My questions, is ther another possible problem. I suspect it could be a short fromt eh switch to the valve. I can try to check that with a voltage meter. But my suspciioj it is likley the seconaday valve. Secondly, if it is the secondary valve, it is a good idea to go ahead and replace the inlvet valve. the fridge is 10 years old. BTW I love your forum and purchased a system board from this outlet for the same fridge a few years back.Thank you.
1 Answer Hi M.J. First of all we thank you kindly about the comment of our web site. We are a growing company that strives continuously to keep on the "edge" to be able to assist the customers. Thank You. From all gathered @ what you have done , all is still leading to a weak coil or mechanical hold internally in the valve. All valves nowadays are made out of a plastic body. Unless you have a kinked water line as the fridge is pushed into place, I suspect the valve being defective after a few good seconds, then fail to keep energized as the coils are electrically opening. So the body at the metal /plastic areas will spring a very tiny leak and spray out and you wont even know it is defective. So it is a very good defense especially being 10 yrs old. It is part # 12002193. Thank You. Read More...
Patrick December 03, 2011 for Model Number psd265Lges swaped leads water is delivered to icemaker but not to door not sure what to check next please help, thanks patrick
1 Answer Patrick, OK, You swapped the wires at the fill valve, when you pressed the water dispenser paddle, the water enterred the ice maker, correct ? Now what you need to do is get a 3 or 4 inch length of 14 guage wire, remove 1/2 in of insulation from both ends of the wire. Remove the white plastic cover on the front of the icemaker. You'll find labelled openings on the body of the mechanism(L,N,V,T,H, etc) Insert one end of the wire into the T opening and the other end into the H opening, hold the wire by the insulation until the main gear starts to rotate/move, then remove the wire. When the rake arm reaches the 1 or 2 o'clock position, the water dispenser should dispense water for a few seconds(7 to 10 seconds or 4 to 4.5 oz. of water. If it does, you have a faulty primary fill valve. If it doesn't you have a faulty fill contact in the control module of the icemaker or a broken wire between the icemaker and fill valve(not repairable). Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
This Is Patrick Again December 02, 2011 for Model Number psd265Lges water not being deliverd to icemaker all lines are clear valve is not opening or the signal from icemaker is not being sent or recieved , can i swap the valve leads to see if the icemaker valve will open ,because the water dispensor works fine ,or will this damage the valve it all works on 120 volts i assume? thanks patrick
1 Answer Patrick, You could test the circuits and valve, using that method. But you don't want to leave it that way or operate the machine that way. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Patrick November 30, 2011 for Model Number psd265Lges Replaced icemaker and secondary valve. The water comes out at door assume that the primary is ok , not sure what to do next. Please help. Thanks patrick
1 Answer Hi Patrick. What exactly is the issue? Are you not getting ice? If this is the issue, make sure the fill tube is not frozen full. If a water valve is bad and constantly allow the water to trickle, it will freeze and back fill the tube. Take note how the fill tube rest into the back of the ice maker. You can remove it by disconnecting the 1/4" water line at the back. Slightly twist sideways and pull the fill tube out. Rinse it out under sink warm water and completely dry it with a hair dryer. If it is damaged, replace it with part # WP67003576. Is the ice maker ejector arms blocked by a stuck ice cube and it wont allow it to re cycle and harvest? Remove the front cover to the ice maker. You can use an insulated wire and jump between "T" and "H" momentarily to get the gear to start to rotate. Remove the jumper wire within 30 -45 seconds. This will jump start a harvest mode. If it will not, then the ice maker is part # D7824706Q. Thank You. Read More...
Scott November 27, 2011 for Model Number ARB9059CS1 My water valve (AP4009555) is leaking where the 2 hoses are pressure fitted in (not the supply line which is threaded). Is this a failure of this part or the primary valve (AP4013716)? I used to get infrequent leaks but now it leaks quite a bit until the pressure subsides and the leak stops. When I use the water dispenser again it starts to leak again until the pressure goes down in the line and the leak stops.
1 Answer Hello Scott. Based on the information, it sounds like the water valve 12002193 has failed and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Daveinaz July 12, 2011 for Model Number D7824706Q There are two plastic brackets to which the icemaker is fastened when installing. If one or both of them break, are there replacements and do they come with the new icemaker?
1 Answer Hello, if you are referring to the mounting brackets that are part of the ice mold. Then yes, the replacement icemaker will come with the brackets. You might also be able to purchase the mold itself, but you will have to use a model number to locate the parts breakdown. Thanks! Read More...
Jesus B. June 03, 2011 for Model Number PSD243LGRW Does part# AP4009555 come with instructions and fittings needed to replace the old valve?
1 Answer Hello Jesus. This part most likely does not come with instructions. However, this part is quite easy to install. You would need no additional fittings. To use with the old tubing, you should simply need to snip off the threaded nuts and snap the bare tubing into the new valve. I hope this info helps. Read More...
Jesus B. June 02, 2011 for Model Number PSD243LGRW I need the secondary valve (for the ice maker). But one of the hoses is screwed in. It's different from the one you show online and that is the only difference, one hose screws in and the other two are push in types. The part number showing is AP4009555.
1 Answer Hello Jesus! The secondary water valve is part number 12002193. The part has been redesigned and may look different, however, it is a direct replacement to the original. Thanks. Read More...
