Frigidaire PLHS67EGSBO Water/ice maker paddle broken

The control arm is a plastic paddle like piece. The usual point of failure is this: https://www.appliancepartspros.com/frigidaire-module-242270102-ap5788338.html

Sounds like you have a problem with water valve/triple solenoid assembly. It controls the flow of water to the door and ice maker. I believe it comes as a complete unit.

Not sure about the frigidaire,but most front panels can be removed from front. If you look around outer edge of trim piece there might be little screwdriver slot. Carefully pry off trim piece(faceplate),disconnect electrical plug on back,set aside.Once removed you should see you solution for removing paddle.

Hello - If your ice maker has stopped producing ice completely, you can try to check the following:

1. It may be turned off. Look for the wire along the right side of the ice maker that looks a bit like a coat hanger. If the wire is in the raised position, the ice maker is turned off. If so, try one of these: If your ice maker has a small red plastic lever, lower it to lower the wire. If there's no plastic lever, simply lower the wire. In either case, the ice maker should begin producing ice again.

2. Also make sure that the temperature is 8 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. If the freezer is too warm, the ice maker won't cycle properly.

3. The ice maker fill tube may be blocked with ice. If so, melt the blockage using a hair dryer-but be careful to not melt any plastic parts!

4. Also replace the water shut-off valve or water-inlet valve, or both, if necessary. The ice maker head assembly may have broken parts. Look to see if the gears are broken. Check to see if the small plastic arms that rest against the ice rake are broken. If the ice maker head assembly is modular and you've found broken parts, you can just replace it.

3. When was the last time the filter was changed? Most side-by-side filters are recommended to be change approximately every 6-9 months depending on your water usage and frequency. The ice maker fill tube may be blocked with ice or have a clogged water filter. If so, melt the blockage using a hair dryer-but be careful to not melt any plastic parts!

4. Also replace the water shut-off valve or water-inlet valve, or both, if necessary. The ice maker head assembly may have broken parts. Look to see if the gears are broken.

GE's ice makers are harvestable, means you can manually tell the ice maker to harvest or cycle. Turn ice maker off, went 5 seconds, turn ice maker back on, tap the paddle 3 times (push the paddle inward completely) then it should cycle, may have a delay like 20 second. I hope this helps.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gere_bf68e6055dd61249

its hard to tell but most likely the valve is not closing all the way. but it could be the ice maker calling for too much.... www.whirlpoolpartssurplus.com
