Gene July 30, 2011 I have amana refrigerator model asd2624heq with icemaker problem. Water overflows into ice collection bin and freezer compartment. It works for awhile after cleaning up mess. Could it be secondary water valve? Any other ideas?
1 Answer Hello Gene. You will need to check and see if the valve continues to bring in water after the power to the valve has shut off. If so, you will need to replace the water valve. If there is still power being supplied to the water valve and it runs over, you will need to replace the icemaker D7824706Q. 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...
Jerry W. July 29, 2011 for Model Number G2IXEFMWBO1 I have the freezer set to factory recomendation which is number 3 setting but the freezer is over freezing the food, I have snow in the freezer covering my food, what is the problem?
1 Answer Jerry, Check and makes sure the freezer door is closing and sealing, there shouldn't be anything agaist the walls or hanging over the front or back of the shelves. I believe you have an ice maker, you may want to check the fill tube for ice or burrs and a tight seal on the back of the refrigerator. Thanks and Good Luck. Read More...
Jerry W. July 29, 2011 for Model Number G2IXEFMWB01 ice maker stopped working because the bail arm stays in the off position or up and won't come down to make ice. What is the correct action to take to fix this problem?
1 Answer Jerry, you have a mechanical break down inside the control module of the icemaker. Orderring and installing the new ice maker kit 4317943 would be your best bet. Thanks and Good Luck. Read More...

Bob July 28, 2011 for Model Number drs2663bw My icemaker stopped working, would not fill with water so I replaced the water valve, still nothing so I replaced the icemaker itself, old one was corroded anyway, but still nothing. I have the arm in the down position but nothing is happening. Why?
1 Answer Hi Bob. The question is , do you have 120vac to the ice maker itself ? The lead wires has a black fuse in line that may be open. Unplug the lead to the ice maker and remove the ice maker. Remove the wire connector at the ice maker and test between the fuse with an ohm meter to see if it is open. make sure that you plug the connector in tight to the ice maker. You can replug the ice maker in place and remove the front cover. You can put your meter on 120vac and test to see if you have voltage between "L" (red lead) and "N" (Blk. lead). Is the bail arm correctly in place in the back of the head assembly,clicked in place? Make sure your fill tube is put back in correctly and is not frozen solid (remove and clear under the sink if needed). Thank you. Read More...
Dan D. July 26, 2011 for Model Number 4317943 I recently installed what I thought was a new icemaker but when it starts to cycle it just keeps going around and around. I won't stop and when it goes to where it should put water in the tray it doesn't. I jumped the l and v legs and the water valve was fine. Do I need a new icemaker? The one I bought was supposed to be new but I bought it on ebay so there is no way to know for sure. Thanks Dan.
1 Answer Hello Dan. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the icemaker 4317943 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Tom July 26, 2011 for Model Number Jenn Air JRSD246W My refrigerator is a side-by-side with icemaker at top of freezer side. The water is leaking slowly down the back wall and collecting in bottom of freezer area, then leaks out of bottom of freezer to the floor. It does not seem to be overflowing from icemaker , as I have taken it out and checked it for leaks. The inlet tube is clear. The only visible water and ice leaking is in the bottom ,on the back wall at circulation fan vent. The icemaker was replace 4-5 yrs ago, so is fairly new. I've never replaced water valve. The refrigerator is about 15+yrs old.
1 Answer Hi Tom. The Ice maker is part # D7824706Q. It calls for the ice maker to send 120vac to the water valve at the correct time (after dejecting the cubes) for 6-7 seconds. The water valve is part # 12001414. If It stays open, gets sediment in the valve and does not close, it is very common to have the issues you have. Thank you. Read More...

Paul July 24, 2011 for Model Number ED5VHGXMO10 Our ice maker quit working. The ice drops down into a bin and that gets despenses through the door. There is a small bar that stops the ice from making when the bin is filled. Is this bar what you call an auger which would make the ice maker useless?
1 Answer Hello Paul. The bar that you are looking for is the shut off arm W11807379. Hope this helps. Read More...
Ron July 23, 2011 for Model Number MZD2752GRW My ice maker takes to long to make ice. Is there an adjustment I can make to shorten cycles and produce more ice?
1 Answer Hello Ron. There is no adjustment for more ice production. Check and make sure it is around 0° inside the freezer. If so, you will need to replace the icemaker D7824706Q. Hope this helps. Read More...
