Ice maker FROZEN over - how to FIX your freezer machine
The ice maker inside my freezer froze over. It's totally covered in ice. This is an easy fix, simple to repair.
So, why did it happen in the first place? And how to stop it from happening again? I'm pretty sure for me the cause was someone (ahem *wife* ahem) opening the freezer door and scooping ice directly out of the ice bin into a cup. Which really isn't a problem, except sometimes a few stray ice cubes are "pushed" toward the back of the freezer, up over the back lip of the ice bin and onto the ice making machinery itself where it gradually adheres to the "machinery," growing a thicker and thicker layer until it has to be totally cleaned with the method I show. Ever since, I've been vigilant to remove those stray back ice pieces, and it's worked wonders. No more freezing over, and it's been years now.
TL;DR -- Keep the "machinery" at the back of the freezer (behind the ice bin) free of stray or escaped ice cubes to prevent this from needing to be thawed.

    warm air is getting into ice room which is causing the freeze up - the water line is going thru the back wall and it is not sealed tightly. - when melting ice - just unplug unit for 24/48 hours with doors wide open - it will melt the ice - ice maker and water valve communicate when to fill ice maker - so if this is ongoing issue then change the main board.

    Thanks, I have the same Ice maker and have the same problem, but do not have the same amount of ice frozen by ice maker. Just the dispenser where water keeps comes out. Have melted the ice in that little tray 3 times. Ice maker works for about a day before freezing up again. Have changed the filter but that did not solve problem, Question would be is the water control value not suppling enough water to keep ice maker from freezing or not stopping the water from seeping thru and then starts to freeze the trickle?

    Thanks for the video. I had an unexplainable leak on my freezer side and I was convinced it had to do with ice maker. Sure enough that thing was frozen solid. Just thawed it all and got rid of the ice, now waiting for it all to dry. Fingers crossed. You're doing the lords work, my man.

    If this really works, why don't they do that at the manufacturing stage? Doesn't make sense if it's that easy to rectify.

    • @AdamSmith-fe9jf
      @AdamSmith-fe9jf Рік тому

      Because it’s an extra step in production and would cost more. And after the company sells the jeans, they don’t care if it fades. Not to mention some people like it fading fast for that worn look. Same reason consumers have to Scotchguard fabrics and put protectors on leathers and sealers on natural stone themselves. That is a step of maintenance and protection left to the user if they want it.

    Heat guns are available on amazon and harbor freight that have attachments to direct heat better than a hair dryer, but they work in a pinch. We use our heat gun to crisp pepperoni or brown/melt cheese. You dont want a hair dryer used on food for obvious reasons.

    • @logicalblueberry
      @logicalblueberry Рік тому

      A heat gun blows very hot air. If you aren't extremely careful not to point it at the same piece of plastic too long, the plastic can get too hot, causing it to warp. Ask me how I know.
