Merry Christmas everyone!
I am working on a Frigidaire Refrigerator and was getting slow water flow at the dispenser and both ice makers producing slow ice, and the freezer side ice maker would constantly drip creating large icicles. I was told the ice maker in the freezer started leaking as soon as the slow flow started. I tried water coming from wall, was good, tried inlet and removed yellow water tube (goes to dispenser) and both were very slow as well. I put in an ice maker for freezer and new inlet, but still the same flow. I checked water coming directly from brown solenoid (first one) and it was just as slow...
Not going to lie I was scratching my head, could it be a second bad inlet? I saw 120vac on the inlet, so I said 'hey why not check the power on the brown solenoid'. I put meter on had customer hit the dispenser and I only got 68vac. Could this be a control issue? I'm not 100% sure if this is normal voltage, but I would assume it should be 120vac like it says on both the old and new inlet valve.
Any direction is appreciated, thanks and happy holidays
