SOURCE: When my ice maker is

Hi, if the icemaker is not too full, but it is leaking, then it has a crack or hole in the mold that will allow water to drip into the ice tray......this is a possible, however not that common. It is far more common for the water valve to be stuck open and it may be allowing too much water into the mold and over fills dripping into the tray.
I would advise you to let the ice maker drop its last load, and shut it off, by lifting the arm of the icemaker, that shuts it off.....then take a glass of water and fill the mold yourself.....see if it drips....if it does....replace the icemaker assembly. If it does not drip, replace the water valve in the back of the refrigerator.

SOURCE: whilst wash on, water leaks from the underneath of

if the water is leaking during the fill cycle when the detergent is being added from the drawer
ensure the draw is clear, if too much deturget rests has blocked the vent then water maybe running out on the inside.

if the problem is happening during the wash cycle this indicates a leak on your drum, ensure your door seal is intact and not leaking.

if the problem is during pumping, ensure that the pump is not causing a problem
maybe open the bottom vent and ensure the cover is seated properly and pump is clear.
also check the outlet pipe is not blocked or leaking and water is running back on the outside of the outlet pipe and under the machine


I hope this was useful.

My Ice maker doesn't make ice anymore

90% of ice maker problems are water related. Sounds like water may be continually seeping in from the inlet water valve (normal thing to do if the water level is low). This will not allow the water to get down to freezing temperature. You have to identify the reason that water is constantly running in. It's probably "leaking" out at the dump valve. Or does that unit have a float valve that may be leaking. Check your drain to see if water is leaking out during the freeze cycle.

How do i fix a sealed system leak on a ge underounter ice maker

GE sealed system leaks on Ice Machines are usually rare, in the event you have a leak you will need to use a decent quality freon leak detector to locate the part which might be leaking. Or add UV dye to the system and follow with an infrared light to locate and dye that has leaked out. In the case of the under counter Ice Machine the most likely place would be freeze plate, or evaporator which gets cold and actually makes the ice. Sealed system repairs require brazing torches, vacuum pump, a set of refrigerant gauges, and a charging scale or cylinder. Pleazer Appliance....

Model acd2234hrs amana is getting a lot of ice build up through outn the freezer all food in freezer has layer of ice on it

Check that the fan is running at the back of the freezer section. If it isn't, the freezer will continue to get colder but as the air is not moving around the cabinet, you get areas of ice buildup. The fan is usually at the top of the back panel, With the fridge unplugged, remove the panel in front of the fan motor. You can otherwise check if the fan is running by pressing the door switch whilst the freezer door is open. If the fridge is running, when you press the switch, the light should go out and the fan should start.

I have an admiral American fridge freezer. The ice maker is continuously leaking water if the power is switched on as though a switched on. How can I stop the water ?

To verify if its the valve or the ice maker the easiest way would be to unplug the machine and then turn the water on. If the water stops, then the ice maker is bad and is continuously applying power to the valve causing the flood problem and should be changed. If the water keeps on coming out then the valve is bad and stuck open and should be changed.

Water leaking on the floor when ice maker is on?

It depends, you need to check the ice maker to see if the mold is cracked and letting water leak out. Another more likely scenario is the fill tube where water comes into the machine has ice in it and causing the water to spray out everywhere except the ice maker.

Beeping 3 times every 3 seconds

The 3 beeps indicates that the unit was in the freeze cycle for 60 minutes. Causes: 1.) Water valve leaking, allowing water to continually enter the system. 2.) Float switch stuck, sending false signal to board. This indicates ice not being produced. 3,.) Low freon level causing long freeze cycle. 4.) Hot gas valve leaking thru causing warmer than normal evap plates=low production. 5.) Expansion Valve not feeding freon properly to evap plates.
Items 1 and 2 are the most common. Number 3 possible due to freon leak in the system. Number 4 and 5 are usually a very rare occurance.
Hope this helps ya.

Takes too long to drop ice

Unit is functioning on the back up freeze timer.
Cause:
Float Switch stuck in the up position.=Empty sump, remove float switch (Carefully and watch the small pin that keeps the float inside). Clean and reassemble.
Water Valve leaking by:=Only fix is to replace. Turn unit off. If water continues to run in and overflows the sump, it's leaking.
The other things that can cause this requires a qualified tech as it is a refrigeration problem.

Hope this gets it for you.
