Most common repairs needed to fix a Frigidaire refrigerator
Icemaker Assembly Replacement
When your Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator ice maker is not working, the ice maker assembly may not be functioning properly. Gears and contacts inside the ice maker module eject frozen cubes and fill the ice maker mold with water to make a new batch of ice. If a faulty ice maker assembly never cycles then you’ll need to schedule refrigerator repair service to have a service technician examine and repair the ice maker to fix the problem.
Water Valve Replacement
The water valve supplies water to the ice maker to produce ice. If the ice mold in the ice maker is dry, a faulty water valve may not be opening during the fill portion of the ice maker harvest cycle. Eventually, the ice bin will empty out and the ice dispenser won’t work because there is no ice in the ice storage bin to dispense. When the water valve in your refrigerator fails to open properly to fill the ice maker with water to produce ice, have the valve diagnosed and replaced by a service technician so the ice maker will resume ice production and the ice dispenser will work again.
Icemaker Fill Tube Replacement
The fill tube positioned directly over the ice mold drops water down into the ice maker at the end of the harvest cycle to make a new batch of ice cubes. Sometimes, certain conditions can cause the fill tube to freeze. When this happens, water won’t flow through the fill tube to fill the ice mold at the end of the ice maker harvest mode. The fill tube can also get damaged and may need replacing. If your Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator ice maker is not working, have a service technician visit your home and check the ice maker module to repair the failure.
