Frigidaire Ice and Freezer Features
What Makes Frigidaire Ice Maker Repairs Different
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 dispenser not working. Check that the display lock is off, both doors are fully closed and the auger is not frozen, and remove the bin to clear any ice jammed between the ice maker and bin. Source: Frigidaire - Refrigerators - No Ice
- 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?

What Portage Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Portage 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.
