Make: Amana, 5 years old Problem: Ice maker. Ice freezes together, have to use a knife in seperating the ice into smaller sizes. Seals around the door are new, Keep the temp. around 4. Freezer otherwise works great. Your recomendation is too much water going in.
How do I turn down the amount of water going into the icemaker?Thank you
If mechanical or electronic then it has to be replaced with a modified one no way to adjust.
My amana has an adjustment on left hand side under white cover. The cover slides towards the front and it helps to use a couple of flat blade screw drivers. One to gently pry forward under the front rh side of cover while you use the other one to pry up on the top and down on the bottom again just under the rh edge of white cover where it meets the dark body of unit.I the cover oposes the flow of things pull the three screws that mounts the unit and its a snap. After removing cover there is only one screw. in for more out for less.

refrigerators are made by Whirlpool and what you have happening is common with a
couple possibilities. Most likely the W10245167 Water Inlet Valve
is not shutting off after the fill time of about 7.5 seconds. If this is
happening the water will slowly fill the
ice maker tray above the lever that it should and causes the ice to connect together
on the top thus not allowing the cubes to be harvested because they are
basically welded together as a whole piece. And the other possibility is the
ice maker itself is needing an adjustment of the water flow time. Below I will
post a Icemaker
Repair video telling how to adjust the
time and other things to look for. This is possible but most times not always the case. Adjusting the flow time is
delicate and a little change can cause too much or not enough water. Lets watch
the icemaker a little closer and see if there is ice freezing up in the fill
tube behind the ice maker. You have seen the leaky faucets before and an old W10245167 Water Inlet Valve
can do just that making a mess inside your freezer and ice maker if
leaking. Here is a Whirlpool Ice Maker
