Heating, Air Conditioning, Fridge, HVAC - ICE MAKER


Expert: Eric Campion - 7/13/2009

Question
My refrigerator is a GE TFX26PPDAWW. It has waetr in the door and an ice maker. The water in the door works but the ice maker does not. The fill tube froze once and it produced cubes sporadically thgerafter until it did not prodcue any more. I have the unit apart and can get the inlet/fill value assembly unit replaced, but before I do I'm wondering if it could be something else since the parts are not returnable. Could it be the thermostat on the heater instead (didn't even know ice makers had these until 20 minutes ago).

When I pulled the line from the fill value to the ice maker out very little water was in the line. Not sure if this is more or les indicative that the value could be the issue. In any event, not sure what I should do. Is there a way that I can change the leads on the value unit to test the seliniods. If so, how do I do this (do I switch from the front value to rear value the same sized leads, or switch the difrent sized leads on the same seliniod.) Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Answer
Reinstall the ice maker and then using a turkey basker, fill the mold with water.  Now, walk away and after a few hours, tell me if the ice maker dumped the ice cubes.  Make sure the arm is down.....

Waiting to hear from you,
