Know Your Frigidaire Ice Maker
How Frigidaire Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
An electric water valve opens to fill the ice maker, and a solenoid opens and closes the ice chute door during dispensing. Source: Frigidaire - Refrigerators Noise Guide

What Milwaukee Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Milwaukee 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.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
