I have a side by side that I puchased just about two years ago. The unit serial # is MT225306. My problem there seems to be a low voltage source to the freezer fan. I use a nife and push the fan to get it statrted when it calls for it to run and then it works Ok. If i hit the Ice cube dispensore or anthing on the door the fan quets and will osolate and then with a slight push I can get it going again. Also when the ice cube maker is on it pulsate as it seems to be kicking a relay on and off. I am a electrician of some sorts and would like some guidance. I think ther is a lnk between all these things that will only let minamal currant through. Please give me input.

Comment regarding catriver Aug 18 post: Shorting L&V caused valve to work I believe, at least I think I heard it operate, but shorting T&H did not cause gear to move. So does that indicste a different problem? Still no ice. JimB

Chances are it will be best to replace the ice maker but give me your complete model # from the sticker inside the fridge.  Also, make sure the fill tube to the ice maker isn't frozen up.  There should be a 3 digit # in front of the 52554100.

We had a problem with ice maker not making ice. After alot of concern it turned out we just needed to replace the filter.

SOURCE: My fridedaire side-by-side only gives crushed ice even when cube ice button is chosen

take the ice bucket out of the freezer
from the back of the ice bucket, there is a little metal bar that stickes out (back left bottom)
that little metal bar inserts into a hole with a spring loaded 'up/down' mechanism...this is stuck UP, and needs to be jiggled with your finger to spring down.
Once that mechanism inside the hole springs down, the ice maker will go back to producing whole ice cubes.

There is a solinoid in the freezer section by the motor that turns the ice auger. Test it by selecting cubes and with the ice bucket out, open the door, hold the door switch so the lights turn out and push the dispenser button. It should make a loud snap and travel upward. If not then I would say you have a bad solinoid. If it does, then I would look at the bucket. the metal rod that runs along the side of the bucket opens a flap in the bucket that is supposed to let the full cubes drop. look for anything that might cause it to be hanging up.
