There is obvious mold all through this Ice Maker! Badly needs cleaning, both through machine's auto-clean function and manually (use one-to-one water/vinegar solution). New soft sponge brush, unused soft toothbrush, soft cotton cloth. Otherwise, you're drinking mold spores with the ice. There being visual mold, make certain to run the cleaning cycle several times, draining & replacing with fresh water each time. Also, even before you opened the appliance, it was obvious that it needed dust removal. Canned compressed air, soft toothbrush, small-nozzle vacuum cleaner. Beyond that, excellent demonstration of switch removal, part ID'ing, and replacement. Really, really appreciated that bit of info!

That's dirty? The bowl the ice forms in, on my Frigidaire ice maker is totally black, after less than two months, after running the self clean function. I think it is the garbage in our local city water. Will tear down and clean with bleach.

Thanks for posting this!! I'm on ice maker #2. The first one was covered under warranty when it started doing this "no water" thing, so they sent me a new one. Now the replacement has pulled the same stunt, so I figured it had to be something simple. I'm probably going to fix both of them (I mean, why not..?) And I guess then I'll have boatloads of ice LOL Thanks!!

Did you figure out why it says add water when the reservoir is full? I drained mine to clean it and now it is doing the same thing.

@azannah 10 ай бұрын
Disregard the question. I figured out it was the water I was using. Added a pinch of salt and it started making ice. I was using distilled to keep the hard water build-up down.

What did the "exhaust" side of the radiator look like? If it was covered in dust, that's also a problem. Using old toothbrush to clean works well.

Before you take it apart fill it with vinegar. Let set for 3 hours. Then try it. It should work. Then run a few times with water to clean out the vinegar. Works everytime for me.
