Ice Maker Repair OKC – My Ice Maker Freezes Up?

Refrigerator is making fresh clean ice cubes.

 

If the lack of ice is due to sub-zero temperatures, the ice maker freezes the ice into a jam. The machine produces ice with a small amount of water slush that does not freeze until the ice is harvested.

When the refrigerator is at a good temperature, the water in the inlet pipe of the ice maker freezes and stops before it can start. To fix this, take a hair dryer (medium or low set) and blow warm air into the pipe until the collected ice melts and drips. If the small amounts of water or slush do not freeze while the ice is being harvested, the frozen ice in the Maker will become blocked and new ice will fall into the ice bucket.

If the inlet pipe is not frozen, the next step is to check the water filter and freezing temperature. You may need to replace the water filters if your freezer is too cold to try to raise the temperature. The thawing of frozen intake tubes can also cause your food to thaw.

You can also remove the water pipe from the fridge and thaw the ice in the sink. Thaw the fan on the ice maker’s screw mount, and when the ice maker thaws, it switches itself into thawing mode.

Look at the ice in the ice mold to make sure the motor is turned off and the ice ejector is working properly. If the flap around the ice route has not been removed, keep it open to make sure it is closed at all times.

The water inlet valve regulates the flow of water into the ice maker and is located on the back of the refrigerator on the back of the access plate. There is a small 1 inch water supply line that leads from the refrigerator water line to the water filter which leads to a water filling valve in the refrigerator that controls the ice cube thermostat. This valve can become bad by overfilling the ice cube shell when it is not needed.

A bad tap valve is a small device that connects the ice maker’s water supply pipe to the water pipe, which can cause problems when the pipe is connected to the pipe. The tap valve we use is a type where one must drill a 1 / 4 inch hole, rather than the self-piercing type.

If the water filter is blocked, the ice production stops at the waterline. It may be due to sediment in your house or hard water. You have to remove sediment and minerals by removing the lid at the back of your refrigerator (you will need a screwdriver or wrench) and by washing the screen around the valve with warm, soapy water.

If the water temperature is too warm or too hot, the water flowing through your machine will throw off your ice maker. If there is too much water, additional water may enter the ice machine and create large chunks of ice. When water intake is low, the water flowing into your ice maker clogs up and prevents the ice maker from working optimally.
