Frost build up around ice dispenser

Does you ice dispenser serve ice through the door? If yes, then It's likely that room air is entering your freezer through the ice exit, and condensing as ice on your ice maker.

It's a very common problem; The flap isn't sealing tightly after ice is delivered through the chute. Clean you ice maker, removing all the ice, and then stuff the exit chute with plastic grocery bags. The bags will force the flap tight against the chute, and add a layer of insulation from room air. Keep an eye on ice development, for a few days, and if you're confident you've found the problem, order a replacement ice door.

Frost builds up on the inside of the ice bucket and the ice seems to be melting together. Water runs out of the bottom of the ice bucket both inside and through the front.

Make sure the ice Chute door is closing all the way usually when you have frost build up in that area the ice Chute door is stuck open and it's going to have to be repaired

Ice building up in freezer section

You need to clean the drain line from the freezer it is plugged resulting in a big ice build up at the bottom. Remove the shelves and back cover you will see where the water is suppossed to drain, you will need a hair drier to melt the ice build up because it has backed up and now is frozen too. After you remove the ice build up you can take a coat hanger and insert it into the opening, see if you can work the coat hanger down through the line to push out the obstruction, if not pull the fridge out and remove the bottom cover you will see where the line exits and drains into a tray it may be plugged right there. You may have to force out the obstruction with compressed air if none of the other things work or do what I did, blow into the tube from the bottom to force what ever is blocking the line out the top, doing that though is a little messy. Cat hair or dog furr is usually the problem.

Ice dispenser is jamming up

hi there.this is difficult without a visual but u can check a few things. 1-is it jamming due to ice chunks build up or not.2- ice chunks forming on the whole bucket or just near the exit flap.3- if the whole bucket then check inlet valve and water pressure.4-if near exit flap then the flap is not shuting properly due to weak return spring/seal /flap pivot./links or flap valve.hope this helps good luck.Ali

Ice build up in bottom

If the water is showing on the freezer side, more than likely you have a clogged drain. This occurs when the machine goes into defrost and the melted ice somehow is prevented from draining and therefor refreezing and blocking the drain for the next defrost cycle. The best way to resolve this is to unplug the machine for atleast 24-48 hours to let all ice melt. If thats not an option that you want to use the actual repair method would be to 1) unplug the machine 2) empty everything out of the freezer so you'll have room to work 3) take all the shelving and baskets out 4) locate the screws on the rear wall inside the freezer and remove them 5) take the back panel off exposing the evaporator coils ( the aluminum ) 6) directly below the coils is a trough of sorts and the drain is usually in the middle and runs out the bottom, remove the ice by carefully chipping it out or by using a hair dryer or hot water. 7) once all the ice is gone, the drain is visible and water can flow smnoothly down the drain dry the area and reassemble.

Water is appearing under the front left foot (as you look at it). It builds up in to puddle over night. I have checked the instructions which are difficult to follow (not very clear English) but it said...

Freezer drain is plugged.
Two solutions:
1. Call a service repair company.
2. Turn off both controls (turn to lowest setting) and open freezer door for minimum of 24 hours (max 48 hours). That will thaw drain sufficiently.
What has happened: Somehow the freezer drain had ice build-up and eventually froze solid. Every time the unit went into defrost mode, the melted frost (now water) had no place to go. The normal exit is the freezer drain hole which leads to the drip pan underneath. That exit is plugged with ice, so the water went where it could - across the freezer floor and out the bottom of the freezer door. You found it and wondered why.

How do you remove a paper jam at the site where the paper exits the printer (causing an accordian-style fold)

Turn off and unplug the machine you can open the front door open the exit side where the paper exits out gently remove paper the issue is caused by the upper fuser claws on the fuser unit they are worn you will need to replace them or replace the fuser unit assembly as other internal parts in the fuser may also be worn like the rollers
This should be done by a trained certified engineer

WHEN YOU TURN OF MACHINE MAKE SURE TO OPEN DOORS AND WAIT A FEW HOURS SO THE FUSER AREA CAN COOL DOWN CAUTION THE FUSER AREA IS VERY HOT

FROST BUILD UP ON ICE STORAGE BIN AND INSIDE OF

Most times this is caused by the dispenser door not shutting all the way. This causes moist air to be drawn in through the opening and the moisture will freeze in that area and also cause the dispenser door to have even more problems closing. Check the door and get me your model number so I can list the parts that are most likely causing this, Thanks Sea Breeze

Frost building up in ice maker exit shoot and

Look into the dispensor , and see if the door flap is closing , or letting warm air in which will cause the frost buildup . If not closing completely , remove the top cover on the freezer door hinge , and unplug the plug . This will remove power to the door . Use a small screwdriver , and insert under the freezer door dispensor control board , and pry outward . Remove the 3 plugs on the board . Next , remove the 4 screws holding the white dispensor cover , and slide outward . At the top right , you will see a solenoid and plunger , which control the door flap . Usually , this plunger rusts on the solenoid . Replace both , the solenoid and plunger ( come together in kit ) Pt # WR62X10055 . Re-assemble in reverse .
