Temperatures are haywire; ice maker not working either

Check your temperatures, that typically happens when the freezer is not cold enough, Clean your condenser, that may be the cheapest fix.

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand that the temperatures are rising on your Frigidaire refrigerator, model# PLHS67EESB9. I also see that the temperatures go back to normal when you shut off or turn on the ice maker. There could be a possibility that there is a miscommunication between the different boards inside your appliance. I suggest resetting your appliance, be either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. Restore power keep track of your temperatures. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand that your Frigidaire refrigerator, model# FFHS2611LWF, is flashing an "H1" code. This is actually stating "HI", as in either the refrigerator or freezer, temperatures are Hi and not at a safe level. First, press any button to stop the alarm and clear the HI temperature. If you are still receiving the alarm, I suggest checking the freezer, to make sure that everything is still frozen, and nothing is defrosting as, well as checking the refrigerator temperatures. If things are defrosting or the temperature is Hi in your refrigerator, I suggest resetting your appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your homes circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. When power is restored, Give your freezer 24 hours to stabilize at the default temperatures of 0 degrees for the freezer and 37 degrees for the refrigerator. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your refrigerator status has changed successfully.

Are the ice cubes being formed the same size as before? If freezer temperatures are increasing above 5 Degrees Fahrenheit in freezer this will slow down and at times stop ice production. Look around the rear wall of your freezer to see if a layer of frost is building. If yes this will indicate a defrost problem that in turn raise freezer and fresh food temperatures. Here is a Whirlpool Ice Maker Troubleshooting PDF You can find this info on this page HERE You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view these documents. The Adobe Acrobat Reader is available as a free download. I will be here should you have any questions, Thanks Sea Breeze

HI.TERRY.freezer has to work at its optimum.for the ice maker to work. i would try to defrost the freezer completely first and try.good luck.Ali

Hi,
The theory to making ice is temperature, water, and ice mold to function. What are the temperatures inside the freezer currently. It must be below 15 degrees to function and prefer the freezer to be at 0 degrees to product effectively. Are you ice cubes solid or hollow? If hollow you can jam the ice inside the ice maker causing slow production. Rare to have a water valve problem this young be is possible. I would look at temperatures first than cycle time to determine the next step. In a perfect world, your unit should drop ice every hour to and hour and a half.
Good Luck

Any time moisture freezes to something in the freezer it is two possible reasons that are most likely. The defrost system is defective, blocked or there is outside air being drawn into the freezer from a faulty seal or the ice maker door at the dispenser is sticking open. Keep an eye on these things and freezer temperatures and fresh food temperatures. Your refrigerator is complex and I have the service manual and willing to help you solve this. Thanks, and let me know, Sea Breeze

Low temperatures are absolutely required for proper operation of ice makers components. Dirty cooling coils or possible low refrigerant.

All ice maker operations are based on freezer temperatures. Check the freezer temps. If, you are satisfied your freezer is at zero or better. Then you need a new ice maker.

it has to get down to the proper temperature after the reset the set point is -4 for the freezer and 38 for the refrigerator. the numbers shown o\n the digital display panel stands for the actual temperatures. When the compartmnet tempertures go down, so do the numbers on thge display panel, and finally they reach the set temperatures. Once the system is stabilized , the display tempoeratures are the set temperature.
