How do i get the cover off the icemaker in my frigidaire frs6r5esb?

The tube that is supposed to dispense water through the icemaker/water thinger has come loose (again). The first time this happened the fridge was under warranty so a tech fixed this for me. I would rather try to tackle this myself this time around, I'm just not sure how to get the front panel off the icemaker to access the fill tube without damaging the panel.

SOURCE: when icemaker is filling water comes out door dispenser

I need the entire model # from the sticker inside the fridge section. My guess is this is the model that has a diode in the wiring harness that directs power to the valves and has gone bad letting power go to both valves. I would look and see if you also have water going into the icemaker when you press for water out of the dispenser. If there is no diode then the water valve is bad. I need the model # so I can look at a wiring diagram. You can look at the wiring to the water valve and see if it has a diode. It is black block and has two wires in one end and one out the other. If so the diode only can be bought and spliced in. Let me know so I can help.

SOURCE: accumulation of water in bottom of fridge

You probably need a new door deal for the freezer. When you cet too much condensation in the freezer, it drains down the back of the refrigerator section during the defrost cycle. Check under the produce bins for a drain. If you don't have one, you're not alone. I used to have have to wipe mine out every other day until I finally replaced the seal.

SOURCE: Icemaker fill tube keeps freezing up.

The reason your fill tube to the icemaker is freezing up time and time again is simply the valve, or valves (water valves) that dispense water to the door and icemaker. It most likely always is the icemaker side because it is always harvesting ice and it gets used the most. The only way to stop this is to replace the water valves almost always located in the rear of the Refrigerator with the supply line coming off the wall the valves with one or two electric plugs that energize the solinoid type valve when unit calls for water. Tired of getting out the hair dryer and melting the ice that plugs up the fill tube? This is the only solution. Some of the time is because lime, or other deposits in the water will not allow the plunger to rest in the complete closed position. When the valve is energized for the amount of time needed it lifts the plunger allowing water to flow through. Then when it goes back down
to the closed position it has a small gap that causes water to seep through. There you have it! It's fixed! Unplug unit before replacing valves.If you have a double valve system make sure your lines go back to the original spot. Some of them have a 1/4" line with plastic compression fitting for the icemaker and a 3/8" for the water at the door. Some have both 1/4" compression fittings coming out like "Amana" so once again, make sure to get all lines back to the same possition. Free info. from-

SOURCE: frozen water tube that goes into the icemaker

Try using an hairdryer or defrosting the unit completely , this often get rid of blockage caused by frozen lines fixing the problem.

The water lines can also be unblocked from dirt using a thin flexible shaft. This after defrosting.

If all that does not fix the problem, then you may need to replace the water valve, the icemaker solenoid, or the whole icemaker assembly.

Ice dispenser only works intermittently...any ideas?

The icemaker might need to be lowered for the freezer then and the check the fill tube . If the fill tube looks frozen the water valve will need to be replaced. If it looks fine then the icemaker will need to be cycled to help determine what could be causing the issue with the ice dispencer.

Frigidaire FRS6R5ESBS: I am having problems with

Good Afternoon Renee, thank you for your post! First, have you recently changed the water filter? Most side-by-side filters are recommended to be change approximately every 6-9 months depending on your water usage and frequency. With the new design of the water filter, incoming water pressure may be the problem. By leaving the water valve on while changing the water filter, it may not allow the filter to make a good connection.

When the filter is being put in initially, try turning off the water supply to the refrigerator, and then insert the water filter. Turn the water back on, and you should not have any issues.

Also keep in mind that a clogged water filter or a blocked supply water valve may also lead to low water flow. If so, melt the blockage using a hair dryer - but be careful to not melt any plastic parts!

We do hope this resolves your concerns. If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to reconnect.

Kitchenaid refridgerator/freezer/icemaker model KBFS5ET5500 EVERYTHING WORKS BUT THE ICE MAKER...JUST QUIT. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A SHUTOFF VALVE AT THE BACK OF THE FRIDGE. I AM LOOKING TO SEE IF THE...

Hello Raymond,
In a most of cases if the filter were clogged it would affect BOTH the icemaker and the in door water dispenser,its never a bad idea to replace espically if they is a foul odor or taste in the ice or water. The water valve on the back is going to the most likely problem if the in door dispenser works yet the icemaker does not,a lot of times when the water valve is bad when its supposed to be fully closed cutting all water flow into icemaker it stays open a wee bit allowing water to seep through it causing the hose that connects to it ,running up the back wall into the icemaker to freeze up at the top where the tube enters into the freezer,that tube needs to be thawed, and to prevent it from freezing in the future the water valve needs to be replaced.

Goodluck,i hope this helps you to fix your icemaker,
Gene

Side by side frigidaire ice maker not working

Check the water valve at the back of fridge. Are you getting water at the dispenser on the door? If so, the water valve may not be bad, but sometimes water will freeze in the tube that fills the icemaker. Pull it out from the back of the fridge and check it.Hope this helps !

Ice Maker

Likely that the water supply tube to the icemaker is frozen. It will be a white rubber tube on the right side of the icemaker. Warm it with a hair dryer, remove it from its aluminum tubing, and make sure there is no ice all the way back to where the supply tube comes from the water valve. After thawing, your icemaker should start working again.

Now..... why did it freeze? Most likely, there is a restricted airflow to the back of the unit, which is need to keep that aluminum supply tube just warm enough to assure all the water flow OUT of it into the icemaker, and doesn't freeze up on contact. Make sure your coils and the airspace under the fridge are completely clean (vacuuum them well) and it should cure the problem.
