SIGH!! How do I figure out how to get this back into its correct alignment and how do I figure out why there is no water coming upto the ice maker.

<p>Well, budrow, you&#8217;re into it for a <a href="http://fixitnow.com/wp/2008/10/28/buying-a-replacement-or-add-on-ice-maker/">new ice maker kit</a> right off the bat&#8211; if it wasn&#8217;t broken before, it is now. A bad ice maker may also be the reason there&#8217;s no water getting to it. It&#8217;s the ice maker&#8217;s job to call for water. </p>
<p>The water inlet valve on your fridge is a <a href="http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Water-Inlet-Valve/4318046/3307">dual coil valve</a>: one side for the ice maker and the other for the dispenser. The ice maker coil could be burned out. Check the resistance with your <a href="http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Multimeter/DM10T/964740">multimeter</a>. If it reads open, it&#8217;s bad. </p>
<p>You can find whatever appliance part you need through the parts search box at my website. No harm in buying and trying with our 365-day, no-hassle return policy, even on electrical parts that were installed!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>First, some pearls of wisdom from <strong>Sublime Master Kurtiusinterupptus</strong> in the <a href="http://appliantology.org/" title="" target="_blank">Samurai School of Appliantology</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>1. Remove receiver board (right side) and insert wire into plug in black/black-white wire locations . This effectively bypasses the optics for test purposes. if you have no black/blk-white wires in the plug don&#8217;t panic, just chose the two wires beside the blank hole, not on the end.</p>
<p>2. test for voltage at the 4 wire harness plug, black to white and black to green&#8230;should have 120vac in both places. if not, inline fuse is open or wire is broken or separated in the liner. very bad and prolly not repairable (the broken wire not the fuse).</p>
<p>3. if voltage is present, hookup i/m and test at the points on the motor module head previously noted L and N&#8230;should have 120vac.</p>
<p>4. if voltage is present, install jumper between test points T and H&#8230;this should start the icemaker on a rotation if all the above outlined conditions are true. if it doesn&#8217;t, the motor on the module is bad. if it does start, reinstall i/m and wait till it fills and parks. remove jumpers and reinstall optics receiver. icemaker should work&#8230;if not, we have proven the icemaker assembly is good and the optics must be at fault, regardless of whether the light flashes are checking good or not.</p></blockquote>
<p>And this enhancement from <strong>Grand Master appl.tech.29501</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The optics jumper wire cam remain until the cycle has completed.</p>
<p>The T &#038; H jumper must be removed from the module once the cycle has started<br />
if you listen closely at the beginning of the cycle you will hear the contacts in the module<br />
&#8220;click&#8221; at about the 10 sec. mark its ok to remove the jumper at this point. I usually just<br />
count to 12 and pull it out and the module should continue the harvest.</p>
<p>If you do not remove the T &#038; H jumper and the cycle completes it will either blow<br />
the new harness fuse or the module&#8230;. </p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Refrigerator and Ice Maker Maintenance</p>
<p>We&#8217;re trying out a new concept for a newsletter here in Samurai-land.  In<br />
addition to the quarterly (or so) full-blown newsletter with lots of<br />
diverse information, we&#8217;re going to experiment with a monthly, shorter<br />
issue that focuses on scheduled preventative maintenance tips for specific<br />
appliances.  Let us know whatcha think.  If it&#8217;s not useful to you, then<br />
please lemme know &#8216;cuz, if that&#8217;s the case, then I&#8217;d rather be out hiking<br />
in the mountains instead of playing tippety-tap on the keyboard.</p>
<p>This being early Spring, we usually start getting lots of refrigerator and<br />
ice maker service calls.  Here are some things you can do that may help<br />
avoid a service call on these cold appliances.</p>
<p>Refrigerator or stand-alone Freezer</p>
<p>Manual Defrost Refrigerator or Freezer</p>
<p>On manual-defrost refrigerator/freezers, check for frost build up in the<br />
freezer. If there&#8217;s more than half an inch, it&#8217;s time for a defrosting.<br />
Remove all the food, unplug the unit, and block open the door to let all<br />
the frost melt.  On upright units, this can make a wet mess on the floor so<br />
put some towels down.  On chest freezers, there will either be a drain or<br />
all the water will collect in the bottom and can then be sponged out.</p>
<p>NEVER ever even think about using a putty knife or any kind of sharp metal<br />
to scrape the frost off.  It is very easy to puncture the evaporator and<br />
ruin the refrigerator.  Ain&#8217;t no going back from that one, Hoss.</p>
<p>Automatic Defrost Refrigerator or Freezer</p>
<p>On self-defrosting refrigerator/freezers, clean the drain pan underneath<br />
the refrigerator that collects water (Some are not accessible. Don&#8217;t worry<br />
if you can&#8217;t find yours). No need to go crazy, just wipe out the dog hair<br />
and dried gookus so you don&#8217;t get a scum floatilla with stinkus when the<br />
flood of condensate starts with the more humid weather.</p>
<p>Clean the refrigerator cooling fan and the condenser coils. The coils are<br />
underneath the refrigerator. They are usually black and look like a series<br />
of small tubes and &#8220;fins&#8221; connecting the tubes. Order a refrigerator<br />
condenser brush to make the job easier: <a href="http://fixitnow.com/?p=6234">http://fixitnow.com/?p=6234</a></p>
<p>Check the door seals to be sure they are sealing properly against the frame<br />
of the refrigerator/freezer. While you can get by with weak seals during<br />
the colder, dryer winter months, they&#8217;ll let in lots of heat and moisture<br />
during the humid, warm summer months and cause all kinda weird problems<br />
inside the box.  Do the Federal Reserve Note test: take your favorite<br />
Federal Reserve Note and close the door on it, then give it a tug.  Should<br />
require some tension to pull it out. If not, that&#8217;s a weak spot in the<br />
gasket.  Do this all the way around the both doors.</p>
<p>If the gaskets are torn, or don&#8217;t seal properly, the refrigerator or<br />
freezer may not cool properly. You may also start seeing frost formations<br />
in weird locations inside the beer compartment or the freezer.  This<br />
problem is worse when the weather is warmer and more humid.  Clean the<br />
gaskets and frame with warm soapy water so they don&#8217;t stick to the frame.</p>
<p>Inspect the back wall of the freezer for any frost build up. It&#8217;s not<br />
normal to have any frost on the back wall or floor of a self-defrosting<br />
appliance. The presence of frost is normally an indication the<br />
self-defrosting system has a problem.  You can remove the back wall inside<br />
the freezer to get some eyeballs on the evaporator coil.  This page will<br />
help you interpret what you see: <a href="http://fixitnow.com/?p=6036">http://fixitnow.com/?p=6036</a></p>
<p>For help troubleshooting warm refrigerator problems, use our warm<br />
refrigerator flowchart: <a href="http://fixitnow.com/?p=4296">http://fixitnow.com/?p=4296</a></p>
<p>Ice Maker</p>
<p>If you have a built-in ice/water filter, replace the filter approximately<br />
every six months. If you don&#8217;t have a water filter, and you find your ice<br />
tastes bad and/or smells funny, use a &#8220;taste and odor&#8221; water filter on the<br />
incoming water supply line. A universal water filter will fix ya right up.</p>
<p>We carry filters for all refrigerator brands and models:</p>
<p><a href="http://fixitnow.com/?p=4102">http://fixitnow.com/?p=4102</a></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have an icemaker, consider installing one now before the<br />
Department of Energy outlaws them.  No chit, Mon, they&#8217;re really moving to<br />
do exactly that, see this topic at the Samurai School of Appliantology for<br />
more info:</p>
<p><a href="http://appliantology.org/topic/30729-doe-to-ban-ice-makers/">http://appliantology.org/topic/30729-doe-to-ban-ice-makers/</a></p>
<p>Many people don&#8217;t realize that virtually all refrigerators are set up to<br />
easily accept an add-on icemaker. Many refrigerators have a tag inside the<br />
freezer at the back that gives a kit number indicating exactly what kind of<br />
icemaker will fit in that refrigerator. We carry add-on icemaker kits that<br />
fit virtually every refrigerator/freezer on the market, most are<br />
conveniently laid out for you on this page:</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re having a problem with your refrigerator, freezer, or ice maker,<br />
come get free help from the appliantological masters in the Samurai School<br />

<p>This particular example is from an LG refrigerator model LRSC26923TT but all the LG models are similar.  Samsung&#8217;s icemaker&#8217;s use the same thermistor arrangement, too.  </p>
<p>Usually the thermistor can be clipped right back in place as shown below:</p>

<p>If yours is broken for some reason, you&#8217;ll need to replace the icemaker, which you can get right here for the LG model LRSC26923TT ==> <a href="http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Ice-Maker-Assembly/1266867?modelNumber=LRSC26923TT">http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Ice-Maker-Assembly/1266867?modelNumber=LRSC26923TT</a></p>
<p>For other models and brands, you can look up the icemaker using your model number on the icemaker page, right here ==> <a href="http://www.repairclinic.com/Ice-Maker-Parts">http://www.repairclinic.com/Ice-Maker-Parts</a></p><div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><g:plusone size="medium" count="1" href="http://fixitnow.com/wp/2011/03/06/whats-that-wire-thing-dangling-from-under-the-icemaker-in-my-lg-refrigerator/"></g:plusone></div><p>Related posts:<ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Sometimes, you need to manually start the harvest cycle in an ice maker when you&#8217;re troubleshooting a problem. Examples would be a mystery leak in the ice bucket or no ice. In the LG ice makers, manually starting the harvest cycle is as simple as pressing a button.</p>
<p>To start the harvest cycle, press and hold the fill key for 3 seconds. The icemaker will run thru: <br />harvest &#8211;> fill &#8211;> ice making.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Heads up on the Electrolux french door bottom freezer refrigerators, example model number EI28BS56IS0, with the ice in the refrigerator compartment and has it&#8217;s own evaporator.  The problem we&#8217;re starting to see in the field is that the unit will run fine for about 30 to 45 days.  Then the ice accumulation on the ice maker evaporator starts and this makes a knocking noise in the fridge.  See the pic below:</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://appliantology.smugmug.com/Appliantology/Refrigerators/15896069_ebNZe#1192074652_6n6Mc-A-LB" title="Ice accumulation on the evaporator in the ice maker compartment of an Electrolux french door bottom-mount refrigerator"><img src="http://appliantology.smugmug.com/photos/1192074652_6n6Mc-M.jpg" title="Ice accumulation on the evaporator in the ice maker compartment of an Electrolux french door bottom-mount refrigerator" alt="Ice accumulation on the evaporator in the ice maker compartment of an Electrolux french door bottom-mount refrigerator"/></a></p>
<p>To get rid of the noise, the refrigerator will need to be shut down for a couple days to melt the ice. Then the unit will run fine for another 30 &#8211; 45 days and the whole knocking noise, ice formation starts again.  And these units are less than a year old!  What&#8217;s a disgruntled Electrolux customer to do?   </p>
<p>As it turns out, Electrolux has a re-work kit for this that they&#8217;ll send out free of charge under warranty.  This is not a fun job and if you can get a warranty servicer to do this for you, you&#8217;ll be much happier.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Jeff wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>The dispenser on my Frigidaire refrigerator, model number FRS6LF7JS3, is acting weird:</p>
<p>1 &#8211; Yesterday morning the water dispenser on my fridge began to spray water instead of pour it. Ok I will deal with it later.</p>
<p>2 &#8211; By 5 pm I return home and my wife indicates the ice maker is possessed. The ice maker would not stop dispensing crushed ice even without pressing the actuator on the exterior. if the door is closed it attempts to dispense crushed ice and the auger does not stop! Its actually not even really dispensing its building up crushed ice in the door hopper. So when you open the freezer door the crushed ice falls to the floor. I proceeded to unplug the ice container from the back of the freezer.</p>
<p>Any insight to the issue and the exact parts I should be replacing? Thank you in advance</p></blockquote>
<p>The unpredictable auto-dispensing you describe is usually caused by a bad microswitch in the dispenser assembly.  They can get wet from drippage or condensation and go wonky the way you&#8217;re describing.  Let&#8217;s do a walk-through.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the breakdown of the dispenser where I&#8217;ve circled the key parts to check:</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://appliantology.smugmug.com/Appliantology/Refrigerators/15896069_ebNZe#1192074586_JBdbm-A-LB" title="Frigidaire FRS6LF7JS3 Dispenser Breakdown" target="_blank"><img src="http://appliantology.smugmug.com/photos/1192074586_JBdbm-L.png" title="Frigidaire FRS6LF7JS3 Dispenser Breakdown" alt="Frigidaire FRS6LF7JS3 Dispenser Breakdown"/></a><br />(click for larger view)</p>
<p><strong>Unplug the refrigerator</strong> and remove item 23 to access the screws in the bottom of item 4.  Remove item 4 and get some major eyeball action on items 38 and 38C looking for burn spots&#8211; <em>usually</em> (but not always) if one of these boards goes bad, there will be a visible burn spot.  </p>
<p>Next, check the micro switches, items 38A, with a meter; simple continuity check while actuating each switch.  Disconnect the wires from the switch before testing.  Help making basic electrical measurements is in <a href="http://fixitnow.com/wp/2004/12/18/appliance-repair-revelation-making-basic-electrical-measurements/" title="making basic electrical measurements" target="">this post</a>.  If one is found bad, replace both.</p>
<p>You may also find the water tubing, item 1, disconnected from the fill spout which would explain the spraying action and would also contribute to the early demise of the microswitches from getting doused with water.  If this is the case, you may need to replace the tubing, which is done from the front.  But first, try pushing up a little slack from underneath the freezer door&#8211; you may be able to eke out just enough to re-make the connection.  Installing the end of the tube into the spout requires some Samurai Finger Fortitude&trade; but persevere and ye shall overcome.  </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the shopping list of links for the parts you may need to complete this mission, depending on what you find:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>What does &#8220;local&#8221; mean anymore in this age of the Internet?  I mean, can you get any more <em>local</em> than right here on your computer screen?  I know we look big time an&#8217; all, but we&#8217;re a mom &#038; pop (literally!) operation, too.  Instead of a brick n&#8217; mortar repair shop, we&#8217;re your online DIY appliance repair shop; we&#8217;re every bit (pardon the pun) as real and we&#8217;re as close as your compooter screen.  How&#8217;s that for local? </p>
<p><strong>Fun Fact to Know and Tell</strong>:  The &#8220;local&#8221; appliance repair shop in your town or city cannot buy LG appliance parts directly from their parts dealer like they do for other appliance brands; they have to buy them directly from LG.  </p>
<p>What does this mean for you?  It means you&#8217;re gonna pay a higher price and wait longer to get LG parts if buy them from your &#8220;local&#8221; parts house.   </p>
<p><img src="http://fixitnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/LG1.jpg" alt="LG.jpg" border="0" width="200" height="120" class="alignright" />But the Samurai has the solution: buy your LG parts right here through Fixitnow.com&#8211; your local <em>online</em> appliance repair place&#8211; you&#8217;ll save mucho dinero and you&#8217;ll get your parts delivered lickety-split.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Most icemakers are controlled by a simple wire feeler arm that hangs off the side of the icemaker.  As the ice bucket fills up, it raises the feeler arm and eventually stops it from making any more ice so it doesn&#8217;t overfill the bucket.  </p>
<p>But the engineers at Whirlpool were told that they needed to increase the usable space inside the freezer compartment without increasing the size of the compartment itself.  To do this, they figgered they needed to re-design the icemaker, ice container system and freezer shelving.  This needed what we professional appliantologists call Divine Intervention&reg;.</p>
<p><img src="http://fixitnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/breasted-buddha2.jpg" alt="pot-bellied, bald-headed buddha" border="0" width="125" height="125" class="alignright" />So the engineers burned some funny incense and chanted &#8220;OM&#8221; to the pot-bellied, bald-headed, golden Buddha.  And, yea verily, the pot-bellied, bald-headed, golden Buddha did grin down upon them and granted them a miraculous vision of the electronified optical control icemaker system!   </p>
<p>In this divinely-revealed icemaker control system, the mechanical feeler arm is replaced with the new optical controls, located on either side of the freezer liner, as shown below.  </p>
<p><img style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" src="http://fixitnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Whirlpool-Optical-Icemaker-Controls.jpg" alt="Whirlpool Optical Icemaker Controls.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p>The optics use infrared light to sense the ice level in the ice bucket.  The other change they made was to move the ice bucket from inside the freezer space to the freezer door.  These changes increased the available usable space inside the freezer by over 50,000%!  And the pot-bellied, bald-headed, golden Buddha did grin and the engineers did feast on fruit bats and breakfast cereals. </p>
<p>The main thing to keep in mind about this optical control system is that the only thing it really does is to shut off the icemaker.  Other than that, it doesn&#8217;t affect the operation of the icemaker.  There&#8217;s nothing new or special about the icemaker itself&#8211; it works the same way as the good ol&#8217; Whirlpool-built modular icemaker that we&#8217;ve all come to know and love.  So, for example, you can still <a href="http://fixitnow.com/wp/2009/10/24/manually-starting-the-harvest-cycle-in-the-whirlpool-built-modular-icemaker/" title="Manually Starting the Harvest Cycle in the Whirlpool-Built Modular Icemaker">manually start the harvest cycle</a> the same way you would for any other Whirlpool-built modular icemaker with the feeler arm. </p>
<p>So that just leaves the optical control itself as something you may need to troubleshoot if you&#8217;re having problems with the icemaker not making ice&#8230; and that&#8217;s ezzacly what this spiffy troubleshooting flow chart will hepya do.  </p>

<p><strong>Word</strong>: This optical control system has been pretty reliable and I&#8217;ve not seen many of them fail.  Most of the time, when I&#8217;m working on a no-ice complaint on one of these guys, I find either a bad <a href="http://www.repairclinic.com/Ice-Maker-Parts" title="icemaker and water inlet valves" target="_blank">icemaker or water inlet valve</a>.  But don&#8217;t be a <a href="http://fixitnow.com/wp/2004/04/30/new-economy-appliance-repair-service-coming-soon-to-your-town/" title="New Economy Appliance Repair Service Coming Soon to Your Town!">parts changing monkey</a> and just throw parts at it hoping to get lucky&#8211; do your troubleshooting so that, &#8220;&#8230;<a href="http://hroc.org" title="Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church" target="_blank">ye shall know the truth, and the Truth shall make you free</a>.&#8221;  </p>
<p>Can I hear an &#8220;Amen?&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Ice and cold water season is here.  Refrigerator water filters can remove bad taste and scale from your ice and water dispenser as well lots of poisonous yucky stuff often found in water, even city water, such as lead, asbestos, chlorine, giardia, cysts, pesticides, and herbicides.  But water filters become saturated after six to 12 months of use and should be replaced because they&rsquo;re no longer filtering out the bad stuff and you&#8217;re suckin&#8217; it all in!</p>
<p>Most refrigerators today with ice makers or water through the door have water filters built in, which is much more convenient than installing one in the water supply line from your water source. Your refrigerator water filter is most likely located either inside the refrigerator cabinet, near the top, or in the grill at the bottom of the unit. Here&rsquo;s a convenient listing of the most common replacement water filters for refrigerators.</p>
<p>Start your summer off in good health and replace the water filter in your refrigerator today! </p>
