SOURCE: No water or ice through door

sounds like the dispenser assembly is not sensing that the trap door is opening fully, so it wont send power to the auger motor or fill valve. If you are pretty handy, you can disassemble the door and take out the dispenser assembly and try to take the assembly apart and correct the throw on the trap door. Otherwise, I'm afraid you need a new dispenser to the tune of about $250 parts and $225 trip and labor. Good luck!

SOURCE: Icemaker flap/door does not mechanically open

The description says you have an LG fridge?  I may need the entire model # from the sticker inside the fridge to tell for sure, but there is a motor behind the dispenser controls that opens the door.  Let me know if you need more help.  Also, you can view parts and diagrams at http://www.appliancepartspros.com/.

SOURCE: Crosley side by side ice maker makes to much ice !!!!!!

Most ice makers have a wire bar that senses when the ice bucket is full. The bar lifts up when new ice is made. The ice maker determines if the ice bucket is full by lowering the bar back down after the ice drops into the bucket. If the bar hits the ice cubes in a full bucket, the ice maker shuts off. If the bar drops all the way and dosen't touch ice cube, the ice maker continues making ice until the bucket is full.

So you likely have one of the following problems:
1) The wire bar is missing or bent. Check to make sure that when the bar is pushed up, the ice maker stops making ice. Most bars will 'click' into the up position so you can shut the ice maker off. Push the bar up until it clicks into the up position and wait overnight to see if it makes more ice. If there is no wire bar over the ice bucket, that is your problem.

2) The switch the wire bar is connected to is malfunctioning. If you push the wire bar up and the ice maker continues to make ice, this is likely your problem. You will need a new ice maker unit. Try Appliance Parts Pros or EBay for a new unit.

My whirlpool fridge is beeping door open. About a year after buying it the ice machine stopped. Then it began to build up ice in the bottom of the freezer and leak on the floor. Now it is beeping door open...

It has a defrost problem.
as for the door open it and look carefully round the door and you will see the door switch press it down and see if the light will go off.
if it doesn't turn off the lights then u should have a bad switch.
but if yes then and the beep sound keep beeping then try turning the frige off for about 6hours with the doors all open and after the 6hours plug it back on.

Last night, I connected an active water line to the back of my Kenmore side by side. The ice maker is making ice but water water and ice is not coming out of the dispencer. There is another water jug...

You have a dual water inlet valve where your water supply connects. One goes to the ice maker and the other goes to the water dispenser by way of the water reservoir you mentioned in the fridge.

Open the door and hold the door switch down and try the ice dispenser. Do you hear any thing.You should hear the ice door open and the augur motor turning to turn the augur which pushes the ice out the door. If the augur doesn't turn Take all the ice out of the bin and try. perhaps the motor is too weak or the augur is locked up. Take the bin out and try to see if the motor will turn with no load. The motor is behind the back cover where the bin sits. See if you get power to it using a voltmeter when you try the dispenser. If you are, probably bad motor. If not ,dispenser switch or solenoid is not working.

No water thru door but ice maker works fine?

the water tank behind the bins in the frige is probably frozen. adjust temps .wait a couple of days.(in some cases the line freezes in the freezer door due to voids in the insulation.in that case you would need a whole new door, but thats rare.

Kenmore - over under

Adjust the feet to raise the front of the frige, which should be higher than the back. Therefore the weight of the door will keep it shut or at least cause it to shut itself if it pops open.

Ice maker stopped working on Frigidaire Model FRS262NHW3...

I would check the valve that provides water to the ice maker before doing any thing with the ice maker head. Check voltage to the valve when the ice maker is in harvest mode. (with a good volt meter). watch the meter for the whole harvest cycle or you will miss the reading. if volage is good 99% chance youve got a bad valve, assuming the inlet tube is not frozen. Best of Luck.
