Ice maker stopped dropping cubes. Fiddled with it and now seems to be working okay, but red light on right side is blinking. Read online that there is a filter that should be cleaned. Where is it? Refrigerator is Kenmore side x side, two years old. Water dispenser is working fine, bottom water filter not due to be changed until Jan.

- Thank you for your advice. Sorry about the vague "fiddle with" term. Guess it's telling of my mechanical appitude (slim to none). Will change the water filter and clean the coils. It's been about 9 mths since I cleaned the coils.
I really appreciate your help and am very happy to have discovered this website. Hopefully cleaning will do the trick and my problem solved.
I don't know what fiddle with entails, so I can't respond to that portion. However, if it works, just watch it going forward.
If you have filters, change them The date used is for average conditions only, and you might be due now.
The condenser coils under the machine should be cleaned, and your manual should cover that for you.
The machine should be turned off or unplugged when performing that.

I have a newer (18) month old top freezer that is freezing up in the freezeer and making the bottom fridge not cool. If I unplug and thaw manually it will run fine for about 5 days then I have to run the manual defrost process again. I am quite handy, just don't know where to start. I assume the auto defrost function is not working properly???
