Pat V December 26, 2011 for Model Number sub zero 550 icemaker stopped working. Removed unit and tested wiring harness. Cannot get continuity across the pink "hot" wire (one end connects to the rocker switch - the other terminates at the ice maker). There is a ceramic/plastic 2 inch casing along this wire. Can there be a fault in this wire? What does the black casing do?
1 Answer Pat, The white plastic/ ceramic casing is most likely an "inline" fuse. You'll need to disconnect the wire at both connection points and check for a "closed" circuit, if there is no resistance, then the fuse would be "open", and you'll need to check for a "shorted component in the icemaker assembly(thermostat, heater, motor or switches). Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Fred December 23, 2011 for Model Number DRS2662AW Evaporator motor does not come on defrost timer & defrost terminator was check out okay . compressor &condenser motor runs but the the fan motor. what do think is the problem ? Please help! I Ohm out the motor okay.Applied direct 115 volts motor run ,check motors amp draw okay.
1 Answer Hello Fred. Check and make sure the defrost timer is not stuck in the on position. If so, it will prevent power from coming to the motor. If it is good, you may have a bad cold control R0161092 in the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Vinny. You will open the freezer door and remove the 1/4" screws on the back right hand side under the icemaker tray. Then remove the cover the screw was securing in place. Once removed, you will release the tab on the left side and slide the assembly forward. Be careful and tape closed the flap on the left side of the freezer so you don't break it. Once removed, you will unplug the wires going to the icemaker. Now you can access and remove the screws securing the icemaker to the tray. Reinstall with the new icemaker 4317943 in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
Don C. December 11, 2011 for Model Number Mzd2665heb The ice maker works, but water is dripping into the tray and freezing the cubes and agitator, and it won't dispense ice once it freezes. Have looked at most of the q and a's, and have determined the ice maker needs replaced. Wanted to confirm my findings.
1 Answer Hello Don. Check and make sure the water valve is not causing the unit to overflow and drip into the bin. If the valve is good, you will need to replace the icemaker D7824706Q. Hope this helps. Read More...

Michael C. December 10, 2011 for Model Number Kenmore model 106, side by side I removed the ice maker and found a stuck ice cube which was causing a malfunction. In trying to reinstall it, I do not know which way the two small silver brackets that are attached to the freezer wall go.
1 Answer Hi Michael/ The 2- ice maker side tabs are used to first clip the ice maker onto the side wall brackets or screws. Did you remove screws at the side / top of the ice maker ? If there are any screw bosses on the side of the cabinet, only use 1/2 " screws to remount the ice maker . The bottom Fwd lower metal bracket on the ice maker is bolted to the side of the cabinet. Make sure the ice maker is level so your ice cube fills are normal. Thank You. Read More...
John December 03, 2011 for Model Number MTB 2448 DRW Regarding brown sediment in ice maker: definitely not plastic or brass and definitely not 30 years old. This might be the refrigeration line. In the pictures for Part AP2984633, there is a bottom view of a U-shaped tube. That is where the sediment is dripping---where that tube goes into the control(?) box on the front (toward the reefer door).
1 Answer John, OK, The "U" shaped tube in the diagram, is the mold heater. If that is rusted or has sediment dripping from it, that would be an issue in the icemaker mold, or the icemaker is overfilling, slightly. Start by replacing the ice maker. Thanks for the clarification, Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
John December 02, 2011 for Model Number 10659262990 ice maker on my kenmore first water wouldn't shut off unless i shut ice maker off manually replaced valve seem to have fixed that problem. water is dripping just a little bit from front of ice maker over a period of time 2 or 3 cycles a little ice sickle starts and contiues to grow this was happening before water wouldn't shut off water coming from bottom of ice maker.
1 Answer John, a couple of things to look for. Make sure the ice maker itself is level in both directions. Remove the front cover and make sure the two lower mounting screws, on the control head are tight. Then slightly adjust the water level/fill time on the control head, turn the adjustment screw( on the right side of the control head) 1/2 turn (at a time) clockwise to reduce the water level in the mold. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
