Know Your Frigidaire Ice Maker
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?
On dispenser models the bin uses an auger that can freeze in place when ice melts and refreezes, and a rotated auger has to be realigned in 45-degree steps before the bin will seat. Source: Frigidaire - Refrigerators - No Ice
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?
- Ice maker making too little ice. Frigidaire says a typical ice maker makes about 2 to 3 pounds a day, so check for a freezer set too warm, an old filter or a kinked supply line. Source: Frigidaire - What should I do if my ice maker is not making enough ice in my refrigerator?
