After dealing with a few icemakers I have discovered that it is not worth the time or effort dickin' around with an icemaker. Replacements are reasonable and easy to install. |

If you are getting hollow cubes and fast cycles you are not getting enough water in the IM to fully fill the mold, usually this is caused by a restricted water supply to the refrigerator. A partial fill does not fill the front of the IM where the thromostat is located and the thromostat cools too fast and starts another cycle before the little water that is in the mold is even frozen.
Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water supply tube going to the refrigerator, then get a bucket to put the end of the water line in and turn it on, you should have a very strong flow of water that sprays against the side of the bucket, it it looks more an 80 year old man trying to ... you have a plumbing [ or prostrate ] problem. Beyond a water supply problem, be sure the NEW inlet valve installed is the correct one for this refrigerator, if you are sure it is replace the IM, but I can tell you after fixing THOUSANDS of IMs this problem is seldom an IM fault. |

...you also might want to check that the water line isn't crimped when the fridge is pushed back into place restricting the water flow. Mark |
