I bought a ice-o-matic ice maker used made by Welbilt, about 8 months ago. It was working fine until last month, it stopped oworking. It spills to much water. Any idea of what can be done? I think this unit is at least 7 years old. Anybody who can fix it? I am in San Francisco, CA

My frigidaire ice maker has slacked way off in making ice since I pulled the bucket out a couple of weeks ago to use the ice to make home-made ice cream. Since getting the frigidaire refrigerator in 2001, I have always had an over abundance of ice. What could be wrong? I've done all the 'troubleshooting', checked the alignment of the bucket with the turn thing in the back of the bucket, and it still only drops approximately 15 cubes a day. HELP!

My ice maker just hangs up after one tray falls out and then won't start over again. What's wrong with my ice maker?

I bought a used whirlpool refrigerator it is manufactured 2005 it has the infared light on it. It has a place for the little metal rod that shuts the ice off but its not there. No water comes out and fills the tray but the water in the door works fine. My question is I have been assuming that with the infared light with that the on/off equipt I assumed this shuts the ice maker on and off so it does not have the little metal rod that the older styles have is this wrong? Do I need the metal rod if so were do I get one ?

Has anyone had this problem? Electrolux side by side...no problems until filter swapped, then ice maker stopped working, thoroughly defrosted everything, including ice maker, replaced...intermittent results including water exiting dispenser on front of panel every time ice maker fills on cycle. Likewise when drawing water from dispenser, leaks some into ice maker causing it to overfill, leak everywhere. Changed 3 way solenoid unit. Nothing has changed.
Any suggestions?

I have a Kenmore Ref. The ice maker is not working. I checked the water line that was fine, I checked the pump that pumps the water to the freezer , that was fine. Is there a way to check the ice maker itself to see if its broken? Thanks. kjrentals AT netzero.net

My ice maker in an old fridge by whirlpool is not dropping ice. It functioned once then stopped. Does the arm belong up or down and why won't it drop ice?

The easiest method to dissolve your ice maker problems is to visit your local appliance store and purchase a new refrigerator with a lifetime warranty on parts and labor. Might be expensive, but at least your worries will be gone.

My ice maker spins one direction for crushed ice and the other way for cube. Except now it only spins for crushed! The button shows cube but the crank won't change directions. Any ideas?

My Fridgedare ice maker makes ice, it just doesn't drop the ice into the bin. the wire arm simply does not return to the reset position. After manually setting the arm it will drop 1 load of ice, refill & stay that way until the arm is reset again. Is this an adjustment problem or does the whole works need replacing?

My ice maker on my Whirpool conquest 25dihxt02 model quit working. At first it continued to make ice cubes and would not stop and shutoff . Now is does not work at all. The interesting observation of the ice maker units is the harvester is continuously running and can watch it working even with the door open. Can you help diagnose the problem

RE: Ice Maker Not Working
I have an old whirlpool side by side. Probably circa 1990. Has always worked great, but many times we have ran into the problem of the ice maker either stopping to work, or making shells instead of solid ice cubes. Usually when it stops making ice, if I raise the arm on it and wait a bit then put the arm back down, it decides to make ice again. Lately, it seems I have had to do this numerous times and when it does make ice, they are shells. Any ideas on what I can do for this problem???
tyvm!

I am using the hairdryer on the ice dispenser and it releases the ice cubes but have to keep using the dryer each time I want a set of cubes. The water is coming out of the tubing ok. This Whirlpool side by side is only 10 months old. Also I have the temp set as warmest to try to defrost anything that might be frozed shut and it still seems to be extremely cold.

I was able to fix my ice maker by the instructions I got at www.AnyoneCanFixIt.com. I had used another service/web site by this company (www.FixYourFord.com) which fixed my Explorer console. My Ice Maker was not making ice and my refrigerator, a Whirlpool Conquest was just over a year old. The directions stepped me through the process of repairing it myself. I'm as happy as can be and I think my wife is even amuzed at me being able to fix it myself. High praise for the web site and instructions you get. Well worth it with all the detailed pictures.

Request: Ice Machine Not Working
My refrigerator ice machine has not made ice since our water was shut off to fix a broken sprinkler head out in our yard. It seems to go through the motions of making ice but we do not get any cubes! Could it be air in the line and if so, does anyone know how I can get the water through without flooding my house?
Thanks!

RE: Ice Machine Not Working
From what I've read it might be water frozen in the line. If it sounds like it is trying to make ice but none comes out, it's very possibly a little ice in the line. You could try turning off the refrigerator for a few hours and see if it clears. I don't know if the tubes are visible but you could take a hair dryer to just the tubes to speed up the process. If there is ice frozen into the tube, that would help to clear it. Another thing it could be is a clogged water filter. If the ice making just slowed down over time (which I realize is not the case with yours Mara), it could be that. (08/27/2004)

RE: Ice Machine Not Working
Here's a tip I found... I am not sure the response makes sense to me but maybe it will to you.
Whirlpool Fridge Icemaker Not Working
I have a Whirlpool side by side refrigerator/freezer with icemaker and water dispenser. The icemaker stopped working, but ice dispenser and the water dispenser in the door still work fine. I was told that most likely the problem was the electric valve controlling the water flow to the icemaker. I have a dual coil valve. I checked the resistance across both coils. It reads 300 ohms for both. I understand that this is the normal range, and indicates that the valve may not be the problem. What else could the problem be and how can I troubleshoot it.
Answer...
If you suspect a valve , you could manually fill the icemaker mold with water to see if it harvests ice, if there is no water coming into the icemaker the plunger in the water inlet valve may be stuck and electrically the valve is OK. You might be able to rebuild the valve. If after the water freezes in the icemaker and it doesn't harvest make sure the shutoff arm is operating the switch inside the icemaker by lifting the arm up and down and listening for a click. If that doesn't help you can have any number of problems in the icemaker.

RE: Ice Machine Not Working
Here's some info from frigidaire, not sure what you guys are using.
Not making any ice.
Freezer may not be cold enough. Temperature must be 5 F. or colder to work properly.
Water supply valve may be blocked or restricted. Supply valve must have a 1/4" opening for water to fully supply ice maker. Many self-piercing valves do not have this big of an opening. Replace water supply valve with one that has a 1/4" opening.
Water supply valve may not be open. Find the supply valve and open.
Wire signal arm on ice maker is in the up position. This position shuts off the ice maker. Pull wire arm (bail arm) down to start ice making.

RE: Ice Machine Not Working
Last but not least, do you have the manual for the fridge? I bet they have some troubleshooting. If you don't still have it find the website for the manufacturer and they should have downloads of manuals and maybe even some FAQ like frigidaire had. (08/27/2004)

RE: Ice Machine Not Working
I had this problem with my freezer a while back. A friend told me to use your hair dryer on the connection; this dissolves any blockage in the line. Try it & good luck. It worked wonders for me & no charge for a repair man to come to the house. (08/30/2004)
