Im so tired of videos with oh I just used my welding stuff and my air wrench and 6 guys from my commercial garage and it came off super duper. I can't even get the bolt off without it bending everything I try to use to stop it from spinning
This worked for me, thanks for the video! I thought I had to replace the ice maker! When I put the spring back in place, the fridge filled the tray and water overflowed and dripped down. Probably because it didn’t push out the ice that was in there. But the next morning, I have ice!
2/5/24.....Thank you digitalP ! Your 4 minute video helped me solve my ice maker problem too here in 2024. A small ice chip had dislodged the spring from its mount. As recommended, I used a "dental pick w/ hook end" to grab the vertical spring end, pull the spring towards the front of the freezer, and "re-seat" the spring end in the tiny hole as you indicated. The ice paddle switch now "springs forward" again, as shown in your video. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this video! I called GE and not only did the person I talked to say nothing about the lever in terms of suggestions for fixing my ice maker, but she said a service call would cost $115 plus parts and labor. This was such a quick and easy fix and I'm so grateful.
Thank you so much. I didn’t feel secure poking around with a sharp object so I used my blow dryer to melt the stuck ice. I had ordered ice cube trays to tide me over until I could get a repairman out. Thanks to you I won’t need the repairman.
You just rock!! I'm looking at ten years of 'thank you' notes - just wanted to add another. Factory reset worked like a charm. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Wow thank you bro 3 and half months no ice, thinking we had to get a new refrigerator. My wife thinks I spent half the morning fixing it😂 She said "somebody's going to get there ick sucked when I get home from work "💪❣️ Thanks bro
Fixed our issue first thing! It was driving me crazy and I didn't want to blow $200 on a new ice maker assembly for a 12 year old fridge. Thanks for the tip!.
Tha kyou so darn much for focusing on the little spring. This was the problem for years?!?!? Even the fridge guy who came out didn't catch it. I pushed on the paddle I pushed on the paddle in front t of him and asked if it was right!!!! Dang! Thanks man!!!!
If the shaft extends beyond the pulley (e.g. PTO clutch goes on after the pulley), you'll need some kind of cylindrical spacer that fits over the shaft. Tack weld spacer to pulley and nut to spacer. Just to clarify, use a smaller diameter threaded bolt than the shaft bolt so you don't booger up the crucial threads. Wonder if you could super glue or epoxy instead of weld, then dissolve with acetone or melt loose later.
To all who ask how the camera survived. the cameras used to film the tests that have recently fallen under scrutiny were specially designed to withstand the explosions. They were encased in steel and lead and positioned on towers secured in concrete. The Tape that recorded everything, was what was the most important thing in the end. Being also incased in this huge camera, it was able to be recovered. The camera was discarded later.
Inspite of the "crappy" video your narrative was excellent and it helped us understand the problem we were having with the ice maker. We don't have dental tools (or eyesight sufficient) to reseat the spring ourselves but we can call out the service man who dislocated the spring while working on a different issue. So thank you for sharing this information.
