Bill W. July 29, 2011 for Model Number 4317943 Water freezes in the tube. I have to defrost with hairdryer.

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?

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?

Linda July 21, 2011 for Model Number BR22VL The icemaker in my Amana bottom freezer stopped ejecting the ice. There is ice in the maker, but it hasn't ejected in days. It has been working fine up until this point. My 9 year old son filled a cooler with ice two days ago and that was the last ice we have had. I don't see how to maneuver the icemaker to troubleshoot what the problem is. Any ideas?
1 Answer Linda, First thing, check the freezer door light switch for operation. The power to the ice maker is supplied through the switch, a bad switch or wire would keep the ice maker from working. To remove the ice maker, there are two(2) phillips head screws that hold the ice maker to the side wall, loosen but you do not need to remove the screws. Raise the ice maker up until the slots in the mounting plate clear the screws, remove the icemaker and unplug the wire harness from the connector in the back wall, and remove the ice maker. Check the bottom of the ice maker mold, make sure the heater assembly is not damaged or broken. Read More...
