I have a Frigidaire Model# FRS26H5ASB9. The ice maker is a GSI-26. The ice maker water line freezes up and then the ice maker does not work. It goes thru the cycle and it sounds like it is filling but no water comes in. I use my hair dryer and it will unthaw and fill again for awhile and then freezes up again. Is there a part that will correct this.

As the harvest cycle (the ice maker fingers rotate to sweep the cubes out of the mold) comes near the end of the rotation, a switch in the ice maker activates to send power to the water valve (located under the refrigerator where the house water supply line connects) and allows perhaps 4 cc of water to flow up a 1/4" plastic line to a fitting on the back of the refrigerator that is aligned with the ice maker inside which then flows into the maker mold. That process refills the ice maker mold and everything shuts off to freeze this water and then initiate another harvest cycle when the entire process is repeated. If there is no water, then there is no ice. Focus on why the water isn't flowing all the way to the ice maker. Look for an ice blockage in the tubing that comes from the back, inside wall of the freezer to the ice maker, or a bad valve. It is rare, but the switch inside the ice maker could be bad. The water valve or a blocked water line are most likely the culprits. Another trick is to pour water into the ice maker mold, wait several hours and see if that freezes and ejects into the pan. If so the ice maker is working, it just has no water to freeze.

These will help.

Thanks,.

You are right - it is filling up with too much water. If you remove the front panel of ice maker you will find a screw there that adjusts the length of time that the solenoid stays open to admit water. Turn it counter clockwise to reduce the time and amount of water entering the ice maker.

If you need new maker get them cheap on ebay. eBayeBay

You have a solenoid switch which switches the dispenser back and forth from crushed to cube. It could be stuck or not working or the parts connecting it could be disconnected or broken. You will have to observe to see if any parts are moving and if any noise is coming from the solenoid.
With your model number I can find a diagram which may help.

is the water line hooked up to the unit ?

Check the trap door where the ice drops through, it might be stuck in the open position, solenoid that operates the door may be bad.

Hi!! tony , yes you have a bad water valve its located on the bottom back of your frig..Replace your water valve..Good luck..

Could you put a small circular hose clamp on the hose line?

Is this the original ice maker? If it is you should be able to pull off front cap on icemaker head and see a adjustment screw with a - and + signs adjust towards - tell required level is reached.. most new model icemaker have NO adjustments.. has a circuit board for a brain..lol and takes care of the adjustments
