Frigidaire GLRS264ZA side by side diode

check the setting on the control panel, it may be just turned OFF

Hello, welcome to FixYa.

Based on your post I understand you have a problem with a refrigerator, model:FSR26H5AS correct ? Does it only shoot water out when the icemaker fills with water ?

If that's the scenario and If it is indeed a Frigidaire side by side, this is a problem associated with a faulty diode which controls voltages to the inlet valves.

Here's what you can do, if you have an ohm meter and measure accross the diode and get little to no resistance the diode is shorted. The diode may not be obvious as it is usually along the back wall (back of outside cabinet) and wrapped in an insulator.

The other way to check is through a voltage test. Measure voltage during an icemaker fill or a water fill to a glass, if there is voltage at all the valves at the same time, you have a shorted diode.

If so this is the kit required to remedy the problem, #5303918287. It simply can be "spliced" into the existing wires and includes the primary component, the diode.



I'll watch and look forward for your reply and we can go forward from here if you need any further assistance.

Thank you for visiting FixYa for your inquiry.

Hi

If freezer door switch is not working, dispenser won't work. Does the freezer light go off & on when door is opened & closed? If you have a voltmeter, check that water valve is getting 120 volts when dispenser is pushed in. If no voltage, I would suspect the micro-switch that you hear clicking when you push in with a glass. Even though it clicks, the contacts could still be bad in it. However other than that loose/off wire, ribbon cable for front buttons off/loose, bad board, child lock are something that can make the dispenser dead.

Is the icemaker turned on? water supply turned on, Did you replace the water valve as well? and is the temperature of the freezer reaching 0 degrees F?

If you hook up the water to the fridge, that means you connected the water line to the 'Water Inlet Valve' of the machine. There should be a two wire harness connected to the water valve back. Look for that....

But please note following...

Some water valves in fridges are complicated with one harness for water dispenser line valve and another harness for ice maker water line.

Also seeing a disconnected wire harness does not mean it is for the water valve. May be most likely. But be careful sometime there are test wire harness for technicians to get power readings for components.

frigidaire has put a diode in the harness @ the water valve sounds like diode is bad . hard to find @supply houses may have to order complete wire harness haundi24

There is a diode in the wire harness near the valve. It has failed allowing power to go to both valves at once.
Unplug the wire from the valve to the icemaker and unhook the icemaker. This should stop it until you can get the part.

I have a GE 2005 Side by Side Refrigerator. Model GSS25JERF, Serial # FH242429. I get all kinds of Ice but no water. I replaced the water valve (p/n WR57X10050) and the Dispenser Display, 4 button ( p/n WR55x10443) Still no water dispensing from the water valve. What next ?????

welcometo the world of FRIGIDAIRE!! only company i know using that DIODE within the harness, im unable to lok up the part number for the DIODE kit, there are 2 of them, i would call the manufacture and ask them to supply you with number... just seems a ltiile wierd that ice maker fill troughdoor andyour water fill the ice machine, i see that you tried switching wires and lines still thesame result, please excuse the silly question but did you try to just switch the wires to the dual valve??? not worrying abouth the lines. just askin.

I need the entire model # from the sticker inside the fridge section. My guess is this is the model that has a diode in the wiring harness that directs power to the valves and has gone bad letting power go to both valves. I would look and see if you also have water going into the icemaker when you press for water out of the dispenser. If there is no diode then the water valve is bad. I need the model # so I can look at a wiring diagram. You can look at the wiring to the water valve and see if it has a diode. It is black block and has two wires in one end and one out the other. If so the diode only can be bought and spliced in. Let me know so I can help.
