loud noise coming from icemaker...noise decreases when i increase temp and goes away when icemaker shut off.
I set the initial temp at 3 degrees, then let it make ice - after about 3 hours it sounded like a cross between a jet and a harley... really loud noise that could be heard throughout the house.
Shut ice maker off (lifted the wire) noise went down and after about 10 minutes stopped entirely. Bumped up temp to 6 degrees and tried again...noise came back after about 30 - 40 minutes but was less.
This refrig has already been in once for SY FE or SY EF error - which tech said was a lose connection - Frig is brand new.
The icemaker is pretty simple, there is a motor, a solenoid, and a couple of switches.
It sounds like the whole icemaker mechanism is jammed or has a broken gear, and the motor is trying it's darndest to turn the stuck mechanism (grinding it's gears in the process), or the gear has already gone, and what's left of the gear is dancing around in there.

I was wondering if there was a way to clean the trigger. Does it come off? How? My husband used a knife the last time to get to come of the grundge around the trigger and it work well for awhile but now it's plugged again. I want to take off but don't know how. I can't find my book that came with the fridge so am lost.
