Re: [BlindHandyMan] ice maker problem
Did you get a service contract with it? If so the parts are free and you only have to pay the service call and they will replace it for you. If no service agreement you can get your model and serial number and order a new ice maker yourself. They are fairly straight forward to install and once you get the one to match your model and serial numbers it's a matter of remove and replace. I wouldn't run all of the new wires since they unplug at the side. You can run the whole set of wires if you like adding extra work, they go along the side and back and fishing a new harness through will teach the kids new words you probably don't want them hearing. - Original Message - From: rodger.hood To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 27, 2008 12:47 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] ice maker problem I have a Siers side-by-side refrigerator and the ice maker has stopped making ice all of a sudden.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] ice maker problem
We used to own a Sears with an ice maker. The electrical connections unplug something like a DB connector. The water connection is not actually a connection. The water comes out of the end of a pipe that pokes out of the freezer wall just above the ice maker. I think there were only 3 screws holding it in. The front cover pops off and there are a couple of gears in there that drive the fingers around to push the ice out of the reservoir. That gear gets stripped out because it is made of plastic. A new one cost me about 2 dollars back in the 80s. The price probably has gone up but it still shouldn't require you to take out a loan. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] ice maker problem
Lets go with the obvious. There is a lever on the ice maker that tells it when the bin under it is full. Is that lever in the down position? You may have already checked this, but sometimes it's the little things that are missed, so figured I'd ask. Also, what about the water line going to the ice maker? Is it by chance frozen? I've never seen a line do hat, but have heard it can happen.
