Follow-Up Video Ice Maker Repair Years Later | Still Working! | KimTownselRU-vid shows what I hve to do when on trips and away from home.
UPDATE: Three months later, the ice maker is now working perfectly. I have discovered that this ice maker likes to make ice and doesn't respond well to being cut off. When I cut off the ice maker, it tends to freeze up. Therefore, I leave it on and discard ice when the bin gets so full that it stops the icemaker from continually making ice.
My icemaker froze up and was spewing water on the floor. In this video, I show how I repaired the ice maker for free!

Kim take a bow you nailed it best GE electronic ice maker video made and you don't have 1/4 HEX HEAD driver? Do you make house calls. I have all these tools and my ice maker spreader keep getting stuck jammed on fill cup and over flowing on the molders.

@barbarajoruis903 Год назад

You are correct that turning the ice maker OFF while we are away on vacation causes problems. The drawer would get too full despite having the automatic on/off flipper arm. If this happens I should just pull out the top shelf and pull some ice out of the bin. My model is almost identical to yours so many thanks for some great video of the ice making process.

@yuriigorg721 Год назад

Could you say something about ice level control in this ice maker…. I couldn’t find any information about that … !!!! My ice maker making ice with non stop! …. WHERE IS THE ICE LEVEL CONTROL? I was looking for that for two months and nobody helped me !!!! No information anywhere!! HELP ME PLEASE 🙏!! Just tell me in simple words-- WHERE IS THE ice LEVEL CONTROL? What must to be fixed ? You are my last hope…. So, help me , please…..

@JerryLester 2 года назад

Thanks Kim. I just bought a GE refrigerator with this ice maker. Your video made me more comfortable with the ice maker if you can be comfortable with an ice maker :-). I just plug mine in and it made a tray advice and spilled it into the pan, but it seems to take a long time to make a tree?

@Subgunman Год назад

If you get ice forming in the tube again, the solenoid water valve is leaking and should be replaced. Other than that looks like a successful repair!

@yuriigorg721 Год назад

@condor5635 Год назад

One thing for sure if the temp is not lower than like 45 it will not make ice. There is a thermostat against the mold that opens at 45 deg F. That is so it knows it is cold enough to make ice, while filming I believe you had your door open and hence too warm so thinking it was going to fill probably not happen. Glad you got it working

@ronaldmorris3197 Год назад

Freezer has to be lower than 14 degrees F before ice will be made. Closer to 0 degrees is best.

@jackolantern7342 10 месяцев назад

Excellent! This is the first video I have found that showed the same darn problem I'm having. So, basically, the water leaking out the back was due to the spout getting frozen?

@KimTownsel 10 месяцев назад

That was my theory. My ice maker just wants to make ice so I never cut it off. If I do cut the icemaker off, the water freezes and then I have water on the floor. I give the extra ice to my mom or place it in dry spots in the yard.

@scorpiofl1 Год назад

excellent video...do you know what that + - insignia is for there on the left side??

@KimTownsel Год назад

I do not. It may adjust either the speed or the water fill level. Seems unlikely to control the water level, though.

Too many over-engineered electronic parts in something that should be quite simple. Sucks to hear of your troubles, Frosty. I'll stick with my GE side by side I bought used five years ago and has only required a new anger.

@hyperlexis Год назад

Blindly fiddling with an icemaker. Thats not fixing thats guesswork. Hint: if you dont know what you are doing call a repair tech and don't spray WD40 on anything near food storage areas. Or just buy a new or reman icemaker. "i don't seem to have the proper tools." No s--t.

@KimTownsel Год назад

It's working perfectly for me now. Hope your mood improves.

@christiancounselingservice2217 Год назад

@@KimTownsel You have to ignore some people :) Blindly fiddling with things is fun and how I repair everything and of course I usually screw up the first time or second time but that is how you learn! For me, screwing things up first gives me a better understanding of how whatever I am working on works? I still save sooooo much doing things myself even if I don't get it right the first time. People like you making these videos gives the people like me a much better understanding. Good job and people like that will NEVER be in a better mood LOL.
