Ice Maker Troubleshooting & Repair
|
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR
ICE MAKER?
The ice maker is a separate appliance within the freezer section of your refrigerator/freezer. Please see the "How things Work" section of our website to learn about how ice makers normally function. In-freezer ice makers are inexpensive. Often it's not economical to repair them after 6 to 8 years of use. When the problem is with the ice maker itself, we usually recommend replacing the unit rather than repairing it. Warning! To avoid personal injury or even death, always disconnect your appliance from its power source--that is, unplug it or break the connection at the circuit breaker or fuse box--before you do any troubleshooting or repair work on your appliance. Also, because some components may have sharp edges, use caution while working on your appliance. There are three common problems with icemakers: |
