Frigidaire Ice and Freezer Features
What a Frigidaire Technician Deals With
Air left in a newly connected water line can cause two or three empty ice cycles, and running the ice maker with no water supply can make the fill valve chatter loudly. Source: Frigidaire - My refrigerator was just installed and the ice maker is not working, how do I fix it?
Frigidaire's convertible chest freezers are manual defrost and drain through drain plugs, and the manual lists an E2 display code as a temperature sensor failure that needs service. Source: Frigidaire - Chest Freezer Use & Care Guide (A31283301en-US)
What Frigidaire Says to Check First
- Ice maker not making ice. On a new install, confirm the ice maker is turned on and the water line is primed, and allow up to 24 hours after the unit cools before expecting ice. Source: Frigidaire - My refrigerator was just installed and the ice maker is not working, how do I fix it?
- Freezer too cold. Turn the freezer control to a warmer setting, keep food from touching the vents and give it 24 hours to settle. Source: Frigidaire - Freezer Too Cold

Local Notes for Waterloo
Most ice maker calls in Waterloo come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Iowa does not issue a general appliance repair technician license; the Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board licenses plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration and hydronic work, and state law carves out a special restricted license only for utility employees who repair appliances.

In Iowa, you can check a license with the Iowa DIAL Find a Record or License (Plumbing & Mechanical Systems Board public search) or report a problem to the Iowa Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
Before You Book in Waterloo
- Will you check the water supply, filter and inlet valve before replacing the ice maker?
