Ice door does not close on lg model # LRSC26915TT. Tried to remove panel to see behind, but after snapping it out the ice chute is preventing removal. Help with both

  • Anonymous Jul 01, 2011

    First, the wiring for the door functions are on top, not the bottom of the door. The plastic tubing for water supply are on the bottom. Secondly, after prying off the rubber pad, there are no screws behind it.

    With all due respect, first response was of no use whatsoever. As previously stated this is a L.G. fridge model #LRSC26915TT. The ice door is hanging down far enough to be hitting the rubber water dispensing spout, and will therefore not close. I imagine that some plastic piece is broken inside, or that a spring has come loose or snapped. I have popped the bezel off, but I can't get it out because it hits the ice funnel which is fixed in place and I can see no attachment method. What am I missing?

There is a solenoid that operates the door that could have stopped working. Can you hear it?
The hinge on the door could be broken or the bracket it goes in could be broken. You'll have to look to see what's wrong.
Part 405a on this DIAGRAM is your solenoid. See if the diagram will help in the dis assembly.

Hello,

The solution is for you to take out the door and try to fix it back in, that way it will solve both problem for you.

You will need to unplug the fridge or unplug the wires going to the dispenser from behind the grill at the bottom of the fridge. Pop off the front cover over the switches and pop off the soft button cover that you mash to activate the dispenser. You will see the screws that hold the dispenser assembly to the housing. remove them and the unit will slide toward you.

That way you will be able to remove the panel and assess it.

Hope this helped.
Goodluck

GE Refridge GSH25JFXBB Ice but no water

This is solution to frozen water 'plug' preventing water dispense but ice maker still making ice. I first tried a suggested fix from this site to just leave dispenser light on overnight. I added some aluminum foil sealed over the module with a little tape to hold in heat. By morning still no water dispensed BUT I escalated the suggested fix by 1.) placing a large mug of boiling water in the compartment behind the aluminum foil 'cover' heat seal and 2.) added a small bean bag heating/cooling pad [heated in microwave] to the ice chute in the door from the freezer side. After one change out of the two 'heat sources' (about 30 min)...viola! Water dispensing again; proving it was an ice plug in the water dispenser. NOTE: When first adding the heating bag to the ice chute in the door, I found that a good bit of frost had formed at the top of the ice chute, so it appears this problem arose when someone (maybe even me) didn't close the freezer door completely due to overcrowding in that section of the freezer pushing against the freezer section door.

Frost forms on the inside opening of the chute for the water/ice dispenser. Also frost on the exit chute from the ice cube tray. The frost is present a day or so after I clean it off.

The door flap which releases the ice , on the door , is not closing completely .Usually this is caused by a rusted plunger so both the solenoid and plunger will have to be replaced , These parts are located behind the dispenser board so be sure to remove the top freezer door hinge cover and unplug the plug there , to remove all power going to the door , before attempting this repair . I think the part number is WR62X10055 for the kit .
When it doesn't close , it lets warm air into the freezer and causes frost on the dispenser AND on the ice bin outlet . Also , using 10 glasses or more , of crushed ice a day can cause this .

Bottom fridge compartment is warm (60deg). Top freezer working good. Is cold control unit replaceable by customer?

it may not be your cold colntrol. it is more likely the defrost terminator or the heating element (both located in the freezer section) or the defrost timer (located in the refrigerator section). you most likely have an ice buil-up on the evaporator coil that is preventing proper circulation of air accross the coil and into the refrigerator section.

Will not release ice and makes crushed ice, even when on cubed.

I believe in your case the ice maker part number WR30X10093 being electronic with the control board in the front is the problem. I think the control board behind the front cover of the ice maker may have corrosion and causing the ice maker to malfunction. You can try disconnecting the set of wires to the coil on the water control valve and see if the water stops or turn off the ice maker first and try disconnecting the coil wires later. It has to be the control board or the water control valve part number WR57X10032

Icemaker forms ice dam at entry into door chute.

Look up into the chute from outside the door. Make sure the chute door is closing completely.That is a common problem on those but not in that short of a time. I have seen them that freeze up every few weeks or so, but yours is pretty drastic. I'm betting the door is not closing correctly.

The ice dispenser chute sticks open allowing warm air into the freezer. Once the chute sticks open, you have to reset it manually but sticking your hand into the ice chute in the door.

There is a solenoid that operates the door that could have stopped working. Can you hear it?
The hinge on the door could be broken or the bracket it goes in could be broken. You'll have to look to see what's wrong.

Remove the dispenser cover by gently prying starting at the bottom going round and round a little at a time to prevent from breaking it. When it's off the screws will be exposed to access the other components.

GE Profile 26.6 cu. ft. side by side is frosting in the shoot

Oddly enough, the problem is with your ice dispenser. What happens is that the door at the bottom of the ice chute is probably not sealed. This is likely because there is a solenoid that is supposed to hold that door open when you push your cup against the dispenser arm, and THEN, close it again when you release. If the chute door is not sealed, warmer, moist air from outside the refridgerator will be canstantly drawn up the chute where the moisture will freeze as frost. Gradually, this frost builds up in the chute until there is no longer enough room foir the ice to fall. You can usually look up at the chute from outside and see that the door is not sealed. In my case, I left it unsealed because the door would not open to let the ice out. It took me about 3 months to figure out that this was causing my frost-clogging problem. The solution is to replace the solenoid that is supposed to open and close the chuite door. If you remove the despenser panel, you will see that this solenoid is probably all rusted up and not working. The following link will allow you to enter you model number and see a diagram of the offending area. http://www.pcappliancerepair.com/model-display.php
