I have a Kenmore refrigerator, mod #57282791 with an ice maker model #S10626636. The ice maker is letting too much water into it and it overflows making one big blob of ice. I know there is a water level adjustment on the front of the I/M but don't know exactly where. Can you tell me which little doodad it is? I'm well beyond the point of utter frustration!
I worked in a Sears repair center for over 10 years and remember the technician would give us answers to many different questions. This was one of them. I could not remember exactly which way to turn the adjustment screw but found the information below and it seemed to sound familiar so I am passing it along to you.
adjust water level in ice maker
To adjust the water level, carefully remove the front cover of the ice maker itself. On the front of the ice maker, there is a small nylon screw that controls the water intake amount. If the screw is turned to the Right, it will Decrease the amount of water entering the ice maker. If the screw is turned to the Left, it will Increase the amount of water entering the ice maker. The screw should only be turned 1/4 of a turn at a time; therefore, more than one adjustment may be required. The maximum adjustment is one full turn in either direction. Additional rotation could damage the ice maker. found this at: http://www.amana.com/content.jsp?pageName=HT-RF-IceMakePerf-11
My kenmore did this as well. I had Sears come look at it and he said something with the motor was broken. It is not worth it for us to fix it so we just turn off the ice maker and fill ice trays.
