My frigidaire side by side refrigerator quit making ice just after three years

Question

It dispenses water fine but just the ice maker stopped making ice. Is there a way to check whether water is coming to make ice if the valve is defective or the ice maker is defective. Filtered water is coming alright cold and filtered but no ice. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

wow I find this strange I had this same problem twice and the warranty company had to come out they order some piece not even 2 weeks later same problem again they came back oh the piece was faulty I have not had major problems with it since but keep your eye out especially if it is brand.and if you have the flat stove make sure you put a warranty on that too,I never new the tops were made out of glass.

Answer 2

You could look to see if the thing needs defrosting.

i'm going to guess the solenoid switch has failed. it's a normally closed switch and would be stuck closed. if you read voltage across the terminals, when the switch is energyzed, that means it's opening. if you don't get voltage when it's energyzed, you know it's stuck closed. OR you could just replace it.

Answer 4

Feel inside the mold for ice if no ice in the mold of the ice maker pour water in and wait a few hours to see if it dumps the load. If it does dump the ice than the water valve would be the first place to look!
