Excellent video... ordered the part after watching video... looks easier than my old Kenmore... thanks for keeping it simple and not making a science project out of the task.
So when I did the reset button, the ice maker turned upside down and ice cubes came out, then, we start seeing water coming out and we had to turn off the switch to make the water stop. So what should I do now?
Thank you for this! I just built two little battery packs this way, and it was easy as pie! As per a commenter's suggestion here, I reused old desoldering braid to link up the cells, and that worked wonderfully. And as the others said, thank you for getting straight to the point and showing us exactly what we need to know! People trying to sell spot welders might not like your video though, but we do ;)
…… You’re the best type of consumer that’s for sure, big business loves you. “It’s broke, replace the whole thing”. No troubleshooting, no narrowing down options of what’s wrong just…. Drop money and hope it works?
Unfortunately, individual parts for this sub assembly aren’t available or readily available. The typical consumer looking on RU-vid for a solution for this problem either doesn’t have the time to perform top down troubleshooting or don’t have the skills/tools. Time consideration is also a factor.
Welp, just finished the install. Waiting for the sound of water filling the tray. My inspection of the old tray is that it’s etched … I think that was preventing ice from releasing. The hardest part was getting the drawers back in. The main drawer needs to be seated in two hooks in order to line up right. Thanks for saving at least $200.
Why the hell didn't I see your video before?! I didn't know there were the plastic tabs holding the tray in. Spent the last 6 months listening to the thing knock 150 times, each cycle, 5x a day!! Thank you very much for making this video, got my sub and will look at your other videos.
I’d imagine the water input on the ice maker side is similar but I’m almost sure you’d see an iceberg in your freezer compartment if it wasn’t properly connected
You should NEVER put cell against each other when in series verry dangerous !!!!!!! allways leave some space between en glueing them with second glue with eats the plastic wrap , this video should be banned
this is great, except for that part where you used glue to stick the batteries together. over time, the glue will become lose, which may cause a short circuit due to the cells' frail wrapping.
With many dozens of packs made that have been subjected to significant vibration and occasional impacts, we've never had a glue joint fail nor the heat shrink casing fail. We've had multiple spot welds fail however, hence the necessity for soldering cells.
@@enopto Just today i bought a professional solder wire core, it so much better. I finally can solder properly I was using the solder that came with the iron.
First, there is no need to replace the ice maker, but it may be stuck because of frozen ice that does not allow movement. Enter the freezer compartment below and tap on the ice maker, then press the trial button on the side. It will rotate and pour the ice, then press again for a second trial, this is return. Everything in its place
Good video thanks. Did you ever figure out why it makes the icebergs. Ours does the same thing. We did learn that if we close the drawer slowly it helps. My wife would just let it kind of slam closed so I though maybe it was causing the water to spill out of the trays. But that didn’t happen when it was new???
Usually a bad sensor or too much water pressure. You’re right, water that over fills the cube tray creates the solid iceberg dead ahead, I mean, below.
Nice work. Finally a video showing someone using a cold saw to fab one of these. Drives me crazy watching all these “fabricators” using only an angle grinder and hack saws to cut metal. You can’t beat the Evolution saw! I made my table a bit differently though. I used 6 pcs of 1/2 X 6 X 36 plates. Also 4 pieces 1/2 X 1 X 36 to go in between the 6 in plates. They are removable and this will allow for easy clamp access. This way I didn’t need to drill a bunch of .625 dia. holes for clamps. Amazon has some very nice adjustable clamps at a great price that are perfect for this! The plates are all height adjustable via 4 3/8 flat head bolts screwed in at each corner from the top. The holes are countersunk and taped. An adjusting nut and washer goes under the plate. The frame has clearance holes. When adjusted simply lock in place. Easier to fab and you can also replace sections if needed. I also fabricated the top frame without miters as I wanted the ends open to slide in a smaller tube. They become table extensions if needed. I enjoyed your video and nice work, good welds too. And I especially love the hot rod and motorcycle! No hot rod in my shop. Just 4 custom motorcycles 😂
You have some great ideas for a pretty versatile table, especially the sectioned top plates. My table is dead simple and built around commonly available parts. It's designed specifically for building motorcycle frames, chassis and suspension parts but f I had to build another table, I'd probably incorporate some of your ideas. Cheers!
Thank you for this video. I would not have attacked this project had you not made it look possible. Ordered the part ahead of time, made sure it was a duplicate of the old and it took about 30 minutes, including disassembly ( and cleaning) and reassembly of the drawers and door. You didn't show that part! 🤔 I would not have attempted this without you!
