I have this exact model refrigerator except it is made by Kenmore (model 253.7034341D). The Kenmore version of this refrigerator looks exactly like and has the exact same parts as the Frigidaire version. Kenmore refrigerators are made by either Whirlpool or Frigidaire as of when this refrigerator was made. I am having the same issue with my ice maker. There is a way to run the defrost mode just for the ice maker. I suggest trying to use the Diagnostic Service Mode of this model refrigerator. To get to it press up arrow and down arrow at the same time and hold for about 10 seconds. Next get to test # 26 which is the Ice Maker Defrost Heater. To get to that test press the + button several times until 26 shows on the right side of the refrigerator display. The defrost cycle will then begin after about 5-10 seconds. The left side of the display will show the current temperature in the evaporator coil area. slowly it will heat up from 14 degrees to the 60-65 degree range. The defrost mode will complete in about 5-10 minutes. You might want to run it through several cycles. If you need to exit the Diagnostic Mode altogether hold the + for about 10 seconds and it will exit. It will exit from the diagnostic mode automatically in about 5 minutes if no other tests are selected to be run. The paper sheet with the diagnostic mode instructions and tests is located on the right bottom side of the refrigerator where the drain pan is located. The drain pan on this model refrigerator is not removable but if you remove the bottom kick plate by opening the lower freezer door and then lifting the kick plate upwards using a flashlight and looking underneath on the right side you will see the pouch holding the diagnostic sheet. Here is a link to the Diagnostic sheet that has the instructions of how to get to it as well as other tests and diagnostics that can be run: ibb.co/WHDgcpC If the included imgbb link pic is removed after some time do a Google search for: 'Service Data Sheet A06589001' and it will be on several web sites

Did you make a video of when you took it apart? Or do you remember the video?

Can you adjust ice size on that particular fridge. Have one exactly like your and ice is to big and won’t dispense it

yes it's in the settings

This is to defrost the ice maker only?
@ohsnapzitzmeng2 ай бұрын
it will defrost the whole fridge. sometimes you'll have to do it twice. if that doesn't work then maybe your fridge has too much blockage where you'll have to take apart the ice machine. I do not have a video of that but you can find them here easily

@@ohsnapzitzmeng What about all the food in the fridge and freezer?

@wanaraz defrost only runs for about 30min, then kicks back on. the food will be fine. I do recommend if this is your first time, do take out the whole ice machine and throughly clean it. after that your ice machine will act up within 6months or so, this defrost method over night should work then

@@ohsnapzitzmeng Thanks. I think the water line coming in got frozen over in the ice making part and stopped making ice. There is no defrost on this fridge for just the ice maker but I ran the defrost for the whole fridge anyhow and that fixed the problem. Thanks

Don't buy its crap

it's not crap, it works just thinking about it. sometimes you have to do it twice. if that doesn't work then you probably have too much ice blockage where you'll need to take apart the ice maker. if you've done that once then you'll understand why this method would work in some cases
