Question about Samsung RS2534 Side by Side Refrigerator
HVACRH20, thank you for the info on the solenoids. Previous to checking the solenoids I did end up getting water from the filler. Now I think my problem is something else. The ice tray that I have is the kind that bends to pop the ice out. it doesn't seem to be popping anything. When I run the test through it doesn't turn to it's full spectrum. I manually helped it to turn the rest of the way and my ice that I had in the tray shattered instead of coming out in cubes. I wonder if it the motor/timer assembly that I should be looking into. How hard is something like that to replace? Expensive? Maybe I'm able to repair it. Oh, by the way after i "helped" the tray to turn it went back to the correct position and the water filled it. I'm guessing that a "test run" is the correct way to start the ice flowing after powering off. yes? In the mean time I'm check out the motor/timer assembly thingamajig and see how it goes.
I think you are on the right track with the motor assy if the unit isn't strong enough to twist the tray. Here's a parts breakdown so you can price out things. http://www.partselect.com/Schematics/Maytag/SS90-1.gif

Check the shutoff arm, the shutoff arm fails to move upward when the ice bucket
is full.
Check
the water pressure. If there is not
enough pressure, the ice maker will not have enough water to make ice.If
water flow pressure is good, check solenoid valve activate and also
it's cleaned.
Locate your ice maker, remove the ice bucket. Pull the cover
off the end of the ice maker. Locate the holes "V" and "L". Take a paper clip
(jump clip) and tape. Straight the clip and put tape in middle. Hold the taped
side and insert the clip into "V" and "L". This sends the power to water valve.
If water goes into ice-maker, water valve is good. If notreplace solenoid.
Check
the freezer temperature. The proper freezer temperature should be around 5
degrees. The warmer it is in the freezer, the more difficult it is to make ice.
thanks, helpful?
