Hi,

As the weather is getting warmer for many people their freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...

Good day,
There are many reasons an ice maker will not produce ice. If the freezer compartment is at it's normal temperature, then just follow this guide.

First step is to take a small paper cup of water and fill the cavity until it is near full. With the ice maker turned on, close freezer door and wait 3 hours to see if it harvests. If not, the ice maker is bad, and must be replaced. If the cubes harvest then.......
Three possibilities.
1. The water supply from the house is not delivering water to the water valve. Shut off the house at the meter, disconnect the line going to the water valve, and with the line pointed into a bucket, have someone turn the valve back on for a 15 second count. The water should come out smartly. If not, the line and it's fittings will have to be replaced.
2. The fill tube from the back of the machine that feeds water into the back of the ice maker is frozen up. You will have to remove the ice maker to visually inspect that tube. If blocked, it needs to be defrosted, but use caution. Too much heat too fast will start to melt plastic and vinyl parts you don't want melted.
If this is the case, then once cleaned out, you will have to change the water valve located in the back bottom rear of the machine because it is leaking during the off cycle.
3. If everything checks O.K. up to this point, you will have to purchase and install a new water valve, and install it.
P.S. Under very rare occasions the electric circuity in the ice maker will fail to send a signal to the water valve. Although rare, it can happen, in which case the best option is to replace the ice maker and water valve.

If the refrigerator woks satisfactorily according to the temperature you have already set before, there is no need to replace anything. I assume it as an internal loose connection and if you are in need of that temperature controller, you can get it fixed.

OK, we need to know what door, freezer or fresh food section? Tell me that and I will trace it through the wiring diagram.Please confirm your model number? GD2SHGX Could be only the door switch. Sea Breeze

Hi roenarl,
To level cabinet you would have to remove the front grille, adjust bolts are located behind the grille(10 -12mm socket) screw in to raise unit screw out to lower..
Cheers

you could have a crack in the ice maker mold, causing a small drip into ice bucket. but if "water is everywhere" you probably have a bad water valve solenoid that needs to be replaced. You can reply here or send me a question from my website: www.FixMyFridge.net

You will need to replace the level switch that governs the ice level. This is usually located at the end of the hopper arm that lays on top of the ice.

The defrosting issue is normally due to a rear brd failure as this controls most of the appliance. Dependant on the model the F90% is normally indicating how much time is left on your water filter before it needs replacing.

I hope this helps

Because your model has the mechanical type ice maker it is likely the ice makers thermostat is the most likely problem. Test ice maker by filling with tap water. Once the water freezes te thermostat tells the ice maker first to warm the bottom just long enough to cause the cubes to loosen in their slots and next th rake begins to cycle the cubes up and out of the ice maker and into the storage and auger pan. If the water just freezes and the ice maker does not cycle the you know the water control valve is new. The thermostat is what tells the cycle to begin. depending on the age of the ice maker just changing the defrost thermostat would be the best choice. I will display photos and links in a few moments, Sea Breeze

it should connect to a lil blue solenoid on the back of the refrigerator

try putting a box of baking soda in the refrigerator this usually keeps it smelling fresh but also make sure ur refrigerator is below 45 degrees fahrenheit and its not ur food going bad that u r smelling

defrost open panel from freezer side and unclogg hole. clogged drain

check your water filter

you have a small refrigerant leak

the gas is leaking, get water mixed with soap in your hands and pass around the tube which caries gas and see where the leakage is coming from. ( along side the freezer ) and get a blow lamp, light it and blow it on the infected part get the hard soldering wire to melt it and fix it.

possible coolant gas leak,
