Ice Makers

This type of problem could be caused by the water valve or the temperature in the freezer. If the temperature gets above 5 degrees, the ice-maker production will start slowing down. If the temperature is all right, to determine if the ice-maker or water valve is the problem, the ice-maker will need to be cycled. To cycle the ice-maker pull the front cover off and you will see some test terminals. Now place a well-insulated jumper between the T & H terminals. Be very careful this is a live check. This will cycle the icemaker and after the ejector has freed the cubes in the mold, remove the jumper. Towards the end of the cycle, it should fill with water for 7.5 seconds and get approx. 4.5 ounces of water. If the fill time is correct but the water fill is low, the water valve will need to be replaced. If the fill time is less, first try adjusting the water fill at the icemaker. If the cubes are still too small, the icemaker will need to be replaced. I would also suggest getting a qualified technician out to do the test.

Sometimes an ice maker will stop making ice. This tip could work to dislodge the ice. The cause could be a cube that has become lodged where it should not be. Unload the freezer (pain) and use a hair dryer directly pointed at the ice maker, on high heat, for about 20 minutes. This melts the lodged cube and the ice maker works again. The humming noise could be the ice cube preventing the mechanism that pushes the ice, to make place for more, from moving. Let a technician check out the cause of the problem though.

Check the water line.

It is where the supply line is attached to a water line. May be under the kitchen sink or in the basement under the refrigerator in the closest supply line. Should be a hot water line. Hot water because most of the minerals stay in the water heater and the water in the supply line will be cold from sitting. Someone may have put a shutoff at the floor behind the refrigerator, but I doubt it.

Polar cube is a device used to maintain cold tissues of a patient.

An ether ice machine is a type of refrigeration device used to produce and dispense ice, typically in the form of small, granular particles known as "ether ice." This type of ice is often used in food preservation and presentation, as it cools quickly and maintains a low temperature without melting rapidly. Ether ice machines are commonly found in commercial settings like restaurants, bars, and seafood markets where efficient cooling is essential. They operate by freezing water and using specialized mechanisms to create the desired ice texture.

The best way to clean a frozen drink machine is usually guided through a button system. All machines are slightly different however regular cleaning is good practice. One needs to empty the slush from the containers and either manually clean the containers or have the unit self clean through instructions in the service manual.

I don't think so; generally there is a line that runs from the water source (sink or what have you) that should have a shut off valve located somewhere along the line. You should be able to see where the line connects at the back of your refrigerator and hopefully track it back to the source. It's frequently under the kitchen sink. Hope this helps!

yes, or I'll have it :D

The water pipe from the pump to the ice maker is quite thin; check it to see that it is not plugged.

Check to see that there is water also at the inlet to the water pump. If there is not, check that the pipe leading to the water pump is not plugged.

Both.

Depending on which way the mechanical switch is positioned, the ice either travels directly out the chute (cubed) or through an auger which crushes the ice before dispensing it.

Yes, you can use brass fittings or the plastic fittings that snap onto to the plastic line. I like the snap on fittings.

Check the water solenoid valves. On our Kenmore the valves had begun to stick causing the ice maker to fail as it is a timed cycle to fill the tray.

It is usually due to the ice maker door flap or chute that the ice comes out has an air leak. Shine a flashlight from inside to outside if light shines through then the doorflap may be bad and need to be replaced.

The automatic ice maker has a bale wire that detects if there is ice in the bucket. If it is full, the ice maker turns off.

The water hose has to start from a main water source. Run this hose underneath the mobile home any way you can until it reaches the ice maker and connects.
