Frigidaire ice maker not working

I have a Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator that's 4 years old. The ice maker stopped working. The water dispenser side works just fine. Checked the ice maker unit; there's ice made but it will not dump it into the bin. Tried all the troubleshooting info from the manual but still cannot get it to release the ice cubes.

Hi,
The first step you need to do is to turn the water off to the refrigerator so it quits making until you get it fixed.
If your fridge has the control boards in each side of the freezer cabinet that controls the icemaker, then you have a failed board. If you have a standard icemaker with the metal shutoff arm then you have a failed motor module in the icemaker. You can remove the icemaker and unplug the wiring connector from it so you can leave the water on to the dispenser.

Not making ice

Hi: Change or just remove the water filter first. As your water dispensing slowed that is a clue. If the water filter is that clogged it will cause a problem with the ice maker. Plus the water you drink is not filtered anymore. City water is being run through 2 years of crud. If you don't replace it just remove it. I hope this helps, Jeff

In door ice dispenser does not work but the water dispenser does.

check to make sure there is water or ice in your ice maker tray. If none then problem is usually a water supply issue to the ice maker. Behind the frig are the water supply inlet valves. One is for the water dispenser in the door. THe other is for the ice maker. However when one goes bad they both are replaced as one unit. Also Check position of fingers in ice maker. If not in a vertical position then try to reset the ice maker unit and worse comes to worse, replace it with a new one.

Water Dispenser with mind of it's own

one test is too turn off your ice maker and it will stop...you have a bad diode on the water line and are getting line feed from the ice maker...

to fix it you will need a new diode
#5303918287 DIODE KIT
#5304418384 DIODE KIT
the parts store will get you the correct one with a model and serial number of the refrigerator

let me know if it helps

Frigidaire signaling water dispenser instead of ice maker

Sounds like the water solinoid valves are wired wrong.One activates The water dispenser.The other the ice maker.That, why every so often the water shoots out on the floor.The ice maker is telling the valve to open.
