Dude, I have children also, and you do not EVER apologize for your children. They love you, we like you, you are a genuine teacher, not a competent fake. Keep up the good work.

I can’t thank you enough for this very detailed and thorough video. I am a single mom, my husband passed away last year, and I was able to fix my ice maker by myself thanks to your video. Thank you again!

Just want to thank you for putting the time together to make this video!!! SUPER APPRECIATED. This was the clearest, most comprehensive walkthrough. I was inspired by, "well, if this dude can do it while managing kids and recording a video ... I'll give it a shot!" For one day a feel like a hero in my house for fixing the fridge. You saving all of us with frozen fridges.

I have a spare fridge in garage. Moved all my stuff to it, then turned fridge off and opened the doors for about 6 hours… everything melted and then after wiping out all the water, I turned fridge back in, and voila, it all worked again (no tools required). Even the bottom ice maker worked again.

My husband and I watched several of these videos on the Frigidaire gallery ice maker not working (must be a design flaw) this one was the most informative and easiest to follow. While I was waiting for him to work up the courage and/or patience to get started, I boiled some potatoes to make home fries. While they were still warm (not hot) I placed them in the fridge on a shelf directly below the ice maker, and 1 hour later I heard the ice fall. The potatoes must have warmed up the bottom of the ice maker. One week later, it’s still going strong. I don’t know if it’s just a fluke, but it might be worth a try. My husband thinks a miracle occurred haha.

GReviews, I appreciate you wanting to help folk, even remaking your video. I want to add that I have this exact same refrigerator. Tried the same repair, didn't fix for long. In a blog someone had commented that the refrigerator needs to have a 1/4" tilt backwards, in other words, the front needs to be 1/4" higher than the back. Sure enough, in the installation manual it is to be installed with this tilt. The guys who installed my refrigerator did not put it at a tilt, thus the ice maker freezes up. This has been a successful solution to this problem. Be sure to give the refrigerator time to go through the defrost cycle a few times before you say this doesn't work. What have you got to lose?

Hi, Got to tell you my warranty ran out a week before and my ice maker quit working. After watching your video, I took everything apart except when it got to the fill hose, I checked it and it was frozen. I got a hair dryer pointed it at the hose and watched the ice drip out! Did the 55 check, and held a pitcher underneath the fill hose and it worked! Thank you brother and God Bless!

The fix lasted a couple years. I realize I commented two years ago but didn't bother to "like and subscribe". After watching again (2 yrs later) I liked and subscribed. Now, time to go disassemble an ice maker.

I did this tear down a couple of years ago based on your first video. And it worked. Recently it stopped making ice again and I took a different approach. I turned off the icemaker and pulled out the ice tray and set the refrigerator on 37°. I went out of town and came back about five days later. I went to the basement and shut off the breaker for the refrigerator and turned it back on after about two minutes. A reboot. Within a couple of hours I heard the water flowing into the ice tray. A few more hours I heard the first tray of ice drop. By turning off the icemaker I turned off all of the ice maker cooling apparently. And all of the ice that was gunking up on everything back there melted because of the 37° in the refrigerator. going forward this will be my new solution.

Thank you for the brilliant video. I love the sounds of your girls. It brings us back to a different era 😃. We pulled out the ice drawer and found that the motor area at the back was full of big chunks of ice like you describe. After watching your video we were thoroughly intimidated by the amount of wires and screws involved so we decided to see if we could tackle the frozen motor without taking everything apart. What we did was pull out the drawer. Then we turned off the fridge as you instructed, then we put two mugs filled with boiling water into the cavity. We then stuffed up the hole with 2 oven mitts and a plastic bag then went and had a cup of tea. One hour later we came back and pulled out the oven mitt stuffing and mugs and everything was thawed. I wiped out the interior of the fridge where the melted ice collected and turned the fridge back on and put it into quick freeze. We have ice again. Thank you so much for you video!!!

We’re making ice again! Thank you so much for this video! Very well explained and demonstrated. We have the exact same model that came with the home we bought in the summer of 2019. Never had an issue until a week ago. I love that you have Sun Drop in your fridge, as we live in WI and go to Shawano to buy cases of Sun Drop in glass bottles. You can actually see the citrus at the bottom of the bottle.

Thank you! I’m a KZfaq dyi fanatic and have watched so many videos for so many different projects. You are probably the best step by step instructor I’ve come across!

Thank you for posting this!! I went without my ice maker for 2 weeks and then came across your video and it was very well detailed and easy to understand all the steps!! Thank you!!! 🤗

This worked like a charm. Followed your very well explained instructions, used a blow-dryer on the spout at the top (frozen), and put it back together all in 20 minutes. Easy peasy lemon squeezy I now have ICE! Thank you. Also, thank you for re-submitting w/out the music. Well done!

Thank you so much for this video! I'll be tackling this project this weekend but I have about 3 times as much ice as you had, sadly. I discovered ice jammed up around the rotator and then upon investigating, found that the ice is coming all out of the bottom of the ice maker into the fridge. 😔 But thanks again for the step-by-step guide!

Great video, love the helpful step by step instructions. Mine was pretty iced up so I just followed along but used a steamer instead of a hair dryer. Ice melted away super quick! All good now, thanks so much!

Just wanted to thank you for this wonderful video. My husband was able to fix our ice maker and we are thrilled!!

Knowing about the defrost mode was very helpful. I was able to set to defrost, then simply remove the ice tray and take a hair dryer and blow on high in the ice maker region for several minutes, then do the same directly behind it in the rear of the refrigerator. I actually had ice build up on the outside of the refrigerator! After thawing the OUTSIDE rear of the fridge, the ice began generating just a few hours later. No need to disassemble anything in my case, just removed and reinserted the ice tray after "thawing" with a hair dryer.

You are the hero!!!! This was such a great video. We would watch a step...pause the video...run into the kitchen and uninstall...run back into the computer room and go on to the next step!!! The only thing that was a little slicey and dicey was having to cut the zip ties because they cinched those bad babies really close to the wires. But we did it!!! yahoo!!! When we finally got to the last step we realized that we had just a tiny smidgen of ice built up so I found it hard to believe the ice maker went belly up but we put it all back together and now have ice!!! It is amazing how much joy we received out of fixing it ourselves and it is all because you took the time to show it to the rest of us!!! Thank you so much and have a happy little day!

I have been struggling with my ice maker I watched your video I was so impressed. I couldn't tell you how many times I laughed with your daughters in the you are a very patient man. Thank you. 😊

You my friend are a genius! After 3 years with this problem, three technicians and three new ice makers, my fridge finally ran out of warranty and we continued having this problem several times per year. Finally, thanks to you and your professional video we have ice once again and now when this problem arises in the future, we know how to fix it. Thank you so very much and God bless you and your background sound assistants. John

Did this today with your help. Took me 30 mins and approx 4 hours later my ice maker started making ice again. Everything was frozen solid in the back. Thank you!

Thank you. You solved my problem. Followed, step by step. Ice maker made ice, within 3.5 hours. I no longer have to call a repair person to spend $500 bucks.

My new Frigidaire Gallery (french door) hasn't even been delivered yet, but I am now prepared to troubleshoot when the day comes. Your video is awesome; I watched it twice. And thanks so much for re-recording it without music. Your two daughters weren't distracting at all, but background music tends to cancel out voices for many people. I "Liked", "Subscribed" and "Saved" this video. At 73, I am astounded by the help I get on KZfaq!

Just wanted to say I took apart & put back together my ice machine last night and I have ice this morning! I was a little worried this wouldn't do the trick because there wasn't much ice frosted AT ALL. But something "clicked" and I have a whole bin of ice the next morning. Your video was super super helpful and easy to follow. Did this totally by myself and didn't take too much time at all. Thank you for making this video, you saved me time and money!

Thank you for the video, I think this is what I need to do, I have the same unit. I turned the refrigerator temperature up a couple degrees recently, and since then the ice maker quit working after no issues for 4 years. My theory is that it caused melting in the ice compartment or condensation, which dripped or beaded up and froze elsewhere. I thawed it with a hairdryer before and it started working fine again, but I didn't take it all apart and most likely there is a bunch of ice buildup like you had. The last batch of ice is translucent, which kinda says that the fan may not be able to spin.

OMGoodness!! I’m so going to give this a go. We’ve had issues with our ice ever since we bought it but with COVID and no extended warranty I felt we were stuck. I’ll come back on here and let you know how it went! Thanks again for the video and the defrost tip!

Great video. Thank you for the detailed information. I think I’ve found an easier way to fix the frozen ice maker without any tools. I’ve found there to be an inherent problem with the ice maker water tube and coils freezing up. This fix should take about 60 minutes at most. First put the refrigerator in defrost mode by pushing the + and - button simultaneously. After it finishes the defrost mode which should take about 30-40 minutes turn the refrigerator off on the door panel and remove the ice collector. Next put a pot of boiling water on a heat pad in the back of the refrigerator directly under the ice maker. Finally take a blow dryer and with the setting on high point it directly towards the back of the ice maker while you hold the blow dryer in the front of the ice maker. Do this for about 10-15 minutes. Then put the ice collector back on the ice maker and turn the refrigerator back on at the door panel. You should be able to start making ice again.

7:15 *Nice Catch!* I watched this once and a second time doing it. Thank you! We have plenty of ice again (as long as the extended the family isn't visiting). Again, thank ypu for nailing the problem with an intuitive video!!

Very well done,as an electrical mechanical technician i found your video very well detailed, thumbs up 👍

Thanks for the video. My 3.5 year old Frigidaire stopped making ice a few days ago. I figured that some component system got iced up in the icemaker system. In my case, I found an ice pellet at the rubber water inlet on the top wall of the refrigerator. It was molded to the shape of the hole. I pulled that out and ran the hair dryer on high fan and high heat for several minutes. The motor barely had a trace of ice and so did the piping and fins in the back, but I applied the hair dryer there as well. Once all three places dried out, I reassembled the system and got the first batch of ice in less than 2 hours. Although the exact cause was different and I had a metal cover over the fins instead of plastic, your video allowed me to disassemble the system with confidence and avoid calling a professional. Kudos to you!

We have literally had no ice for a few weeks and didn’t know what the problem was. We have a newer model fridge but it is pretty much the same process to get the ice machine apart. Thank you!

You know what bugged me the most. Not you. Or your obviously healthy kids ( i loved them). It is the fact that I need to take apart my ice maker. My last Frigidaire ran for 20 years. It is clear that in putting the ice maker where they did - that insulating effectively or keeping ice from forming - were overlooked. Cost conscious bad engineering is unforgivable. That's how space shuttles blow up. Thank You. Glad I found this. You get 100% for knowledge & clarity. 110% for effort. Well done.

Perfect! The sound of your kids in the background is charming & makes the video more real! Thank you. Excellent tutorial.

Thanks for this in depth repair video! I just fixed our Frigidaire model- JBND-27, with ice maker model- IMK0028A. It is a different model ice maker than the one you showed. It is the same until removing the motor cover. It has 4 screws and there is a wire or hose that I couldn't seem to find a way to disconnect. But I was able to feel around blind due to your video, disconnect the plug and lean it forward enough to remove all of the ice and defrost it all with a hairdryer as you showed. Worked perfect and is now making ice again! :) Thanks again! Steve

Thanks so much for a great video! A couple of notes: (5:05 mark) - looks like they did a mild redesign at some point, and the wires are in a race where they no longer need to be zip tied from the factory, making this even easier to do! Something I'd bet other people will run into as well - my issue wasn't the severe ice-up you had in yours, but simply ice build up in the water supply, preventing water from getting to the ice maker. Gentle application of a heat gun (never letting things get more than warm), the ice melted, and I should have ice again by tonight! Thanks again, great work!

I am not a home handyman when it comes to refrigeration stuff. However, this video was incredible! I did all the steps, found ice blockage all over the place and I am now waiting for everything to kind of work again. I would recommend this video to anybody with this situation! I forget the name of the guy in this video, but you did an incredible job!

Thank you much for the video. I was able to fix my ice maker and avoid a costly service call. The most difficult part was snipping the back zip tie for the wiring- that little sucker was tough to get to! I actually left the back mounting connected (8:55), just unscrewed the mounting and let it hang there so I could get a blow dryer on it for 7-8 minutes. Did this yesterday afternoon and we have ice this morning. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for this very detailed and easy to follow video. My husband is deployed and our ice maker stopped working. I followed your instructions and it is working well today. I so appreciate you taking the time to post this.

Your video was good enough to fix the problem, and without it I wouldn't have even tried. Thanks.

Wow, probably the best explained/detailed repair video I've seen!

Thank you so much for the video! I've been getting so frustrated. I thought it was a filter or something else. You were right. It was loaded with ice all over the back. I melted all the ice and I finally have ice cubes in my tray again!

I have the same refrigerator and my ice maker is not working! Thank you for the very detailed video! I'm inclined to give it a try! Seems very doable with your great step by step tutorial.

Im never buying Frigidaire again. I am an electrician and I have a full Frigidaire set that lasted 3 years my dish washer mother board fried found out after trouble shooting it with my fluke. now my fridge is having constant issues with the ice maker. Im replacing everything with Bosch in my kitchen one item at a time. The fridge is next. Great video im gonna give this a shot and if it keeps happening its not worth my time rather buy a better appliance thanks bro for a great video.

Thank you so much for this video! It helped me take everything apart and get it back together in under an hour. Nice work!

Double thumbs up bro!!! I have the exact same fridge, and mine makes like about 10 ice cubes and stops, so maybe same problem. By the way I didn't find the kids and TV in the background annoying, I was to busy paying attention to the instructions. Thanks for a good video.

Great video of each step in taking the ice maker apart and reassembling it. It made the job easier for sure. My tip for other is to completely disassemble the unit until you get to the hole in the back. That’s where the last bit of ice was. I found ice throughout the unit but used the hairdryer on warm/low to defrost it all. Also, once its all back together, put it through the manual diagnostics. I did it twice and i think it reactivated everything. Ice began with the hour.

This was so helpful, thank you so much! I also had the same ice build up issue - just closed it back up. Fingers crossed there’s ice in a few hours! 🤞

Great video and super user friendly! Was exited to see I have nearly the same set up except the "coil cover" but after taking it apart, found there was very little ice. Only the coils had some ice on them. I'm losing hope that icing over was the problem now, its been a little over an hour and no sign of ice yet.

Great video. I too have the same fridge and have battled the same issue over the 5 years we have owned it. After 2 service calls from a local repair shop we found out that Frigidaire makes a "fan housing repair kit" to "fix" this issue (search "Frigidaire ice maker handler kit" to find part number). It consist of a larger gasket that goes behind the fan housing assembly, and some pipe insulation that goes on top of ice maker housing around the water inlet tube opening. It makes putting the ice maker housing back in to the fridge really tough, but it does stop the freezing up issue you have shown. However, it doesn't fix the issue entirely. Every once in a while, the ice maker stops making ice. Now it is due to the water in the fill tube freezing up. To fix that issue, I have to remove the ice bin, remove the front cover, remove the ice storage tray and then use a heat gun on low, aimed at the fill tube, to carefully melt the ice. I then put the fridge in diagnostic mode, put a container under the fill tube, and manually cycle the fill for the ice tray to verify I have cleared the ice plug from the fill tube. Put it back together and it will work for 4-6 months before it freezes up again. Really sucks to have to have to go through all of this on such an expensive appliance. Frigidaire is no help as far as recall/repair. They offered me 20% off of the repair parts but I had to buy from Frigidaire. I found what I needed via 3rd party for 1/2 of the price from Frigidaire including the 20% discount. I have also had to replace the defrost assembly, the auger motor for the ice storage tray & the touch screen control assembly on the front. I will not own another one, I can promise you that.

When I started taken mine apart the water spout coming out above the maker was frozen with about an inch long piece stuck in there. Pulled it out and now is is working great. Thanks for the DIY video

Thank you again, I used your video about 14 months ago to fix the ice machine and just used it again. I guess I will see you in another year 😂. Seriously thank you again, to bad the design engineer didn’t use common sense.

Finally!! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for this video!!

Great video! Exact same fridge I have, so this helped immensely! Mine was actually a little more frosted over than yours! Back to making ice!!

Thank you for this video. I fixed mine with this information, but without taking it apart. I simply turned off the ice maker, pulled the ice tray out to allow refrigerator temps to go into the ice compartment, and put a small hand towel in to catch any melting ice. A few days later i put it back together and it worked perfectly.

I was away from home for five days and the water dispenser stopped working. You have the same fridge as mine. After searching around the net and finally came across your video I got the water dispenser to work. I only unscrewed two plastic panels though and didn't remove everything like you did. Thanks for the video.

Hey man, you are an absolute life saver! I appreciate how detailed and thorough this video was, especially the parts where you include instructions that help us not to break stuff. Got my ice maker working again last night!. One thing I'm curious about and am going to do some more research on is, why does the ice maker ice up in the first place?

That was extremely helpful. Anyone complaining about noise or music clearly doesn’t have a family. I had this problem and your tutorial saved me some money for sure. I had an ice blockage and had to thaw out behind where the motor was. Took me a little over an hour / hour and a half to get it back functioning properly. I want to thank you for all your help. As a father myself it’s not easy trying to fix anything but you made it completely idiot proof!! LOL. All I’ll say is we have ice again.

Excellent tutorial! Saved me a service call. Many thanks to your daughters for the background Fx.

I have the same fridge. I spent a lot of time messing with this. This model is terrible but I’m stuck with it. Thanks for the info! Mine is making ice again! Easy fix and didn’t cost me any money!

This video is so much better than the original. Thanks for redoing it!

I don't comment very often, but I really wanted to say thank you for this. I was very concerned and this video was 100% spot on what the problem was and how to fix it. Thank you!

Thank you for this video! I was able to fix my ice maker on my own and its working great again! Glad to see we all have the same problem with these $$$$ products!

Thank you for your video. Got my ice maker working perfectly without having to call an appliance repairman. 👍🏻

After watching this I took a blow dry without taken it apart I took a blow dryer to it and it worked. Thank you so much for this video

Great how to video. I had to do the same with our gallery fridge more than once. Also the lower freezer drain had a piece of insulation partially blocking it from day one. The poor ice maker design, lack of insulation and inherent problems caused this fridge to be part of a class action lawsuit in the US. I finally gave up and ordered a new one. Not Frigidaire either.

Thanks for your videos, very helpful, we didn't know to defrost, bought parts, watched your video and now defrosting, thanks again!!!!!!

Very thorough video, this helped me take mine apart step by step, thank you! One recommendation that has worked for me two times so far in a situation like this where the components need to defrost - I simply turned the ice maker off from the settings and kept it off for a day or two. Then I turned it back on and it started working fine again. I guess keeping it off automatically starts a defrosting process since it’s not trying to make ice.

As a father of two myself I completely understand. I'm just glad that the music wasn't to try to be cool cuz it came off as really corny but kids screaming and yelling I totally get. Now I'm going to subscribe.

Thanks a lot for posting this Video! spent today fixing my fridge, all good.

Liked and subscribed. If you do any other home improvements I'm watching! The step by step with all the right cautions along the way. Truly fool proof!

This was so helpful!!! With your videos help, my husband was able to fix our ice maker!!!!! Thanks so much!!

Im not sure what exactly made it so funny to me but the "quick snack break" was hilarious.

So happy I found the one without music. Great job

video is great and right on the money. only problem i had was removing the very last piece of plastic in the back where the coils are but the hair dryer took care of that problem and melted all the ice anyway. started at 2:00 in the afternoon and had ice again by 7:00 5 hours later. whole process only took me 1 hour to take apart and put back together. thank you so much for the video. almost forgot i kept my fridge on the whole time exept when i was ready to use the hair dryer , then i unplugged it so my down time was only 30 minutes untill i plugged it back in.

Great vid thanks for posting it. Just picked up this fridge from a friend who was moving out of state, this was the first problem I've had.

I just removed the ice bin and heated the back of the unit with a hair dryer until water stopped dripping from the back, turned the power back on and had a full ice bin in the morning without taking the unit apart.

Going to try and defrost my fridge before taking the thing apart, but I'm having the exact same types of issues shown here. I'm also going to try the 1/4" tilt that some of the others have mentioned below. Bums me out that such a snazzy unit seems to have these problems.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Just took your advice and hope to have the same result. One suggestion to help others would be to suggest purchasing something other than frigidair in the future. I have to work on this thing way too much IMO and hope to take a sledgehammer to it in the future. Had to modify the water feed with tin foil in the bottom ice maker to avoid ice buildup on the drawer track. I absolutely hate this fridge and am thankful for people like you. Next project is to see why the bottom ice maker isn’t working for the 5th time. 🤬

Nice video. My upper ice maker also stopped working. The coils were fine but the water supply line supplying the ice maker was frozen. Turning power off and using a hair dryer fixed the problem. Thanks for posting!

Why is the ice maker in the refrigerator section? I have a Maytag side by side and my ice maker is in the freezer side! Yes...I looked. Frigidaire is obviously on the side with the milk in the video. Not for me...it's on the side with the frozen food! I never have icing problems and the unit is 9 years old. I see where lots of folks complain about the Frigidaire ice maker. The comment about Tilt was interesting. So...I was thinking about getting a Frigidaire...but now I see the extent of the defrosting problem and am amazed it is so common. I thought it might be design...but maybe not. This year after considerable neglect I had the exact same problem on my central home AC unit...freezing in the coils. The coils were totally blocked inside the forced air furnace. One big coilsickle. The repair specialist said that was because I had poor air circulation OUTSIDE where there were leaves and junk all around the big York box. He just removed the leaves and boom...no problem...the whole home Refrigeration thing works perfectly because I fixed an air circulation problem. OK...ready for this? Could the freezeups in the Frigidaire icemaker be because there was not enough air circulation somewhere in the system? Maybe there was a low freon issue and the motor just did it's best to keep the refrigerator cool and pumped a lot causing a colt spot. Maybe it was a heat leak issue in a double or French door setup and the ice didn't freeze right. Suppose the water evaporated too much in the summer or the unit was set a bit cold during a heat wave. I don't quite see the logic for the Frigidaire but let's just guess there wasn't enough ventilation behind the refrigerator....what...it's a guess! The fix is very cheap...pull it out from the wall a bit. I have a Maytag unit and for some reason the problem never arises. Maybe that's because I actually have 4 inches of room behind the refrigerator...that's way more than usual. I don't get it. Anyway...there is no room on one side but enough room on top and other side of the refrigerator so that the back of the refrigerator isn't somehow jammed against the wall in a tight corner.

Thanks for posting this, it's a very informative and helpful video but, you'd think there would be some type of defrost thermostat or defrost heater that would turn on periodically and target the evaporator coil to prevent it from icing up. The ice causing your problem didn't appear to becoming from the water supply that makes the ice but rather from the refrigerant lines and the evaporator coil. You even even showed there to be a good three inches of ice build up inside the bottom of the coil housing that leads to the drain. There has to be a reason why your Ice maker conked out on you at least twice now. I've had the same refrigerator, or a similar one for about 3 years and while my ice maker has never iced up like that, (knock wood) I've never seen an ice maker that was so slow at making ice. We wound up buying a portable ice make to supplement my wife's ice addiction.

Just have to thank you so much we have a fridgidaire that wasnt making ice and follwed this video andnit was caked up with ice! Now its making ice again!!! THANK YOU!!!!

I have a similar fridge, bought it off a friend. It worked fine and then just stopped dispensing ice. Ice maker makes the ice, but it won’t dispense. Came across your video trying to troubleshoot. Thanks.

Way easier, do this: Set fridge temp to 40 degrees. Check with thermometer, our built in thermometer was off by 3 degrees. Turn off ice maker, remove ice bucket. Wait 24 hours. The 40 degrees will melt the ice without taking anything apart.

Hey can I just cut it off and let it thaw out. My ice maker is not working as well. Do you think it will work without taking the ice maker apart ?

This worked perfectly. I'm so glad that I found your video. Thank you!!!!!!

Well done sir! Mine wasn’t as bad as yours but I recently paid someone to replace the water valve which did fix the problem but I also found a extra screw in the bottom of the fridge when they were done… I found where it went after watching your video! Thanks again!

You will keep having issues with it. You need to address the issue with moisture getting in there from the fresh food side.

I dealt with this a couple of years ago. There is a newer assembly back parts that stops the freezing over problem. repairclinic part# 5303918784 I came across your video because now the tray flipping motor has died. Argh!

Thanks for the excellent guide. I used it to fix my fridge. Spout into the icemaker was frozen. Thanks again. Crappy fridge so I am sure I will be doing this again.

Worked well… but there was a problem behind on mine. I’ve had frozen around the refrigerant copper, and when I blow dried it, it was already broken. So now the house smells and I have no fridge! Your video was fantastically easy and accurate though.

I won't b investing in frigidaire anymore!!!!!

Thanks again... I did this last year, and it went even more quickly today. I noticed a small crack in my ice tray, so that might be causing the ice to build up more quickly. I superglued it back together... hopefully that will help.

I also have the Frigidaire 3 door similar to yours. In my case (now twice) it was literally the ice tray assembly that has been the issue. I have not had the icing issues, just failure of the mechanism that flows/fills/heats the cubes. I will however absolutely bookmark this in my head for when it does ice up, which I can occasionally hear the fan clipping on the built up ice, so far it self clears. I can replace the ice cube tray assembly in about 6 minutes now, having gone thru the process now more than once. Keep up the great helpful videos and thank you

Excellent video, I have the same one and a few weeks back it started dripping water so I shut off the ice make and today it started making a THUD noice every second. If you had this happened and know what it is it be great help. But the video gave me confidence to take it apart!! Thank you!!

Thanks for the fix. Was able to avoid costly repair bill. It was a huge win for me.

After all the disassembly and re assembly don’t forget to clean your coils and vacuum under fridge as well as check the bottom trays where roaches and bugs and dust bunnies hide and kill refrigerators. Well done video sir.

WOW! What a great video, so detailed even I’ve the confidence to do it, I’m an old lady and my husband will do it. Thank you so much. Needless to say, I’m your new subscriber.

Very helpful!! Saved me the expensive of calling a technician. Looks like the hose that pours water into the tray was frozen over.
