Online my identity is Inductive Soul; (Soul) for short I enjoy a wide variety of computer topics and occasionally feel like sharing some acquired knowledge.
Thank you for sharing. For my case, it just so happens that the pin that detects the water level is dirty and sort of wrapped in what seems to be algae, instead of corrosion as what you mentioned, was an easy fix for me as I just needed to remove that surface grime. Appreciate your videos and don't stop being you! 😊
I had a different problem with mine. I have two that was doing the same thing. I was attempting to use distilled water and bottled water. And I would get this error add water. I found by adding a teaspoon of salt to the water in the tank it would fix it. Don't forget to stir it up.
Thanks for the help but DAM!! I Think it might be time to replace that rail! Just look at it! The whole top side of it is rotting away! That ice is no way "Clean"...
@@hoodstarlos8145 on the bottom there are screws that hold the rear plate cover on, remove them, then flip the unit rightside up and you will see the screws holding in the control panel, then you can remove those and you're good to go :)
Take the back off. Do this removing screws on the bottom of the unit. Then remove 4 screws under the rim around the top. These screws hold the top on. You almost have to stand on your head to see them. They're vertical, with the threads facing up. Your screwdriver tip will be pointing up to remove them. The top will then come off but be careful not to break the wires that attach the keypad in the top the main unit.
@@km4hr Not being able to easily get that top off is a huge design flaw IMO. My Igloo hangs up at the back of the mechanism (way in the back under that cover) because of hardness in the water... there's also that sensor... and the whole thing should be easily accessible so it can be cleaned weekly. What I have to do is shove white vinegar or lemon juice (more acidic, no foul vinegar flavor) saturated paper towels back underneath from the front to de-calcify (de-scale) the mechanism . I'm also having the water sensor issue which also requires access under the cover.
@@HBSuccess I agree, these things are designed to fail. The refrigeration system is excellent but the plastic water/ice handling mechanism at the top of the unit is flimsy to say the least. Furthermore, parts are not available as far as I can tell. Landfills must be full of these things (and vacuum cleaners). I found two of these ice makers recently by the streets in my neighborhood. I fixed both of them with super glue.
Wow! Spot on to what was going on with mine. Thank you so much for the show how! 20 minute job saved my Euhomy from a trip to the dumpster, and my wife a trip to Amazon! 😂
If it doesn't pump water at all, it's likely that the water pump went bad, age or dry running can do this to even the best water pumps. You can try to buy and replace the pump, but I have not done so, and I don't know how hard it would be. Just be careful and don't mess with the thing when plugged in so you don't get zapped or worse.
thank you very much. I found my probe had some debris on it causing it to not work. Simple as cleaning it off and it started up again. Was going to throw away a perfect ice maker for simple fix. Thanks.
Worked like a charm! Had same “no water” issue and the nose was corroded. Took some sandpaper and cleaned the node, tada! 🎉😊😂. Great step by step instruction here!
I didn't want to take it apart and tried the reset button, holding down the Select size button. That only works if the Ice Full light is on, but no ice. I tried holding the Power button, then both it and Select at the same time. I still got the No Water light. I gave up, but forgot to unplug it. Later, I pushed the On button and it is working again. I don't know if that will work for anyone else, but you can try. Jon in rural BC, Canada
Thank you so much it sure fixed my problem. Videos like this are a god sent in a world that has become a throw away society, you should be pleased to know you are doing your part in helping with keeping unnessasary refuge out of our landfills.
@@JosephKitchens99 You have to take the outer cover off first by taking about 7 screws out the bottom then remove outer shell to gain access to the 6 or so screws that hold the top on.
I just got my fridgeair countertop icemaker 3 months ago as a gift and today it told me to add water when the water reservoir is FULL. Thanks for the information!
On the bottom there is 6 screws (i have the frigidaire version but probably the same) that you need to take off to pull off the outer shell. Then 4 screws that go directly into the top piece from underneath, remove those and Voila. Just did this today and it fixed my issue and im happy again.
