Thread: Icicle's forming under ice maker

Hi Kzhats, glad the optics fixed the ice maker to run continuously issue.

Yes, you can adjust the water set screw.

Turning the set screw clockwise decreases the water fill. 1/2 turn = approx 20cc of water. No more than one full turn in either direction or damage to the module could occur.

If that doesn't solve it you would need a new ice maker mudule or complete ice maker assembly.

Here's the module for your model:

Jake,

Thanks for the quick reply. I am continually amazed at how quickly you handle the volume from this forum.

Were might I find the water set screw? I flipped up the panel and see something that looks like it may be the screw on the left side of the ice maker.

Also, if it makes a difference, the VAST majority of the water comes out on the right side of the ice maker, through the screw on the lower right of the ice maker assembly.

Thanks again!

You'll need to remove the ice maker module cover, just unsnaps.

You'll likely need to remove the ice maker to get the cover off.

Here's the instructions TO remove/change the ice maker assembly:

1. Remove the bucket from the door to get some room.

2. Put a piece of tape on the sensor flapper to hold it down so you won't damage it while removing the ice maker.

3. Remove the ice maker service cover door by spreading the two hinge fingers apart away from the center and the door should lift out of the slot.

4. Remove the screw in the right rear bottom side of the ice maker.

5. After removing the screw that cover should lift up from the rear and just work it out from the rear and you see the electrical harness.

6. On the left track the should be a tab toward the bottom which you need to push up.

7. Push up tab and start working the ice maker towards you pulling it out of the track.

8. Careful with the electrical harness in the back as you're pulling out.

9. Disconnect the electrical plug by lifting the clip on the plug.

10. Remove the side cover on the side module by pulling off.

11. Remove the bottom shield by removing the 3 screws on the bottom.

12. To install reverse the order as it came out.

Figures Simple little adjustment only requires unsnapping something... to unsnap requires a lot more work! I'll get it all taken apart and see if it's just the water flow rate. If not, I'll be buying some more parts it appears. Thanks again Jake.

Yup, its a bit more involved on this style ice maker.

Well, I finally opened it up (we just had a baby, so life was a little hectic). The ice maker tray was chipping quite a bit, so I've just gone ahead and ordered the entire ice maker. I read elsewhere that it was best to go ahead and just replace the entire unit if that is happening. The part will be here soon, and I'll get it all hooked up.

Thanks again Jake!

Yes, you did the right thing by ordering the complete ice maker assembly.

Keep us posted.
