I have recently installed a new air duct motor for GE ice maker in refrigerator. I have noticed that it runs constantly. Is this normal? The ice maker is working but i would like to know if air duct motor should be on all of the time. Appreciate any info on subject not able to find out on GE tech specs for this model refrigerator
For model number PFSS5RKZHSS
Hi Robert ,
Thank you for your question. The motor should be running regularly as it sends cold air from the freezer into the ice box so the ice maker can work correctly. We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.

Our icemaker is not making ice properly. I believe that the temperature is not low enough in the icemaker compartment. Originally we had a problem with only a trickle of water coming in, so we replaced the water valve. Now the water came in faster, but the ice wouldn't freeze and empty into the bin. So we replaced the icemaker. Now the new icemaker is exhibiting the same problem. I've measured the temperature in the compartment and it never goes below about 22 degrees. I understand that the temperature needs to be about zero when in the harvesting mode and about 22 for storage mode. It appears that the whole compartment isn't getting cold enough to harvest and quickly make ice. Any suggestions for the next replacement part or how to diagnose?

Hi Wendy,
Thank you for your question. If your refrigerator is not cold enough to freeze the ice, try adjusting the temperature to a lower setting to see if that helps. Check your owner's manual for information on how to adjust the temperature in your refrigerator. If adjusting the temperature does not fix the issue, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the temperature sensor, the evaporator fan motor and blade, the condenser fan motor and blade and the inverter kit. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!

The very first symptom here is important! The door water dispenser is not working but the ice macine is working. You may only have a frozen water tube in the door so do the following before diagnosing that your solenoid valve is bad: 1) the tube usually runs under the front of the refrigerator and usually has a quick disconnect. Undo t
... Read morehe connection and press the dispenser. If water comes out of the tube you have a frozen or blocked tube in the door. 2) Immediately adjust the temperature in the freezer and warm the freezer compartment as much as you can without destroying the freezer contents. Wait 24 hours. This will usually unfreeze the line. Do not waste your time with a hair dryer. NOW, if this doesn't work and you are convinced you need to order and replace the solenoid, follow these steps. Assemble your tools first. I needed a good ratchet set and a screwdriver. A shop towel is helpful for spilled water. A light is handy. Pull out the refreigerator to gain access to the rear of the unit. Unplug the power and close the water valve (older homes, you may need to actually shut the house water supply). Remove the screws which hold the cover over the lower half of the refrigerator. On the left you will see the solenoid. It's always good to see that your new part matches the one you feel needs replaced. They may not match perfectly due to changing design but they should be very similar. One screw holds this part in place and access is very simple. Now simply unplug the electrical connections. In my case, one blue "blade" type connection (powering the water) and one red "blade" type connection powering the ice maker. They are not the same size and this coupled with the coloring means you will not accidently switch them. pull the tubes clear of the solenoid. This is simple and needs no explantion. Grab your new solenoid and reattach both the electrical and water lines (two, remember, ice maker and drink dispencer). Replace the single screw. Re-attach the rear, lower refrigerator cover and go to the front of the unit to check the water. You can listen carefully and hear the power engage from the new part bringing you water. Clean up, replace the refrigerator back to its place and look really tired when your wife sees that you worked "so hard"! You probably saved at least $50-$80 from a service call which can now be used to take the family to dinner after your "exhausting" 15 minute workout of removing about 10 screws and wheeling the unit in and out of place. Writing this article took longer! My 4 year old worked harder holding the flash light!
I went to a GE repair center to explain my problem, the service center reccomended that I have a techinician come out o look at it. $75.00 for the visit and what ever labor and materials wuld cost.
I went on line to see if there were others having this same problem and found that there were many with the same problem.

I tried the most common component and the less expensive one first , the thermostat switch I installed it very easily snipping two wires and attaching the news using wire nuts I used the diagram on this website to pinpoint the component and there has not been a problem since.
Model includes filtered ice maker and water dispenser from front of unit. Water maker just suddenly stopped working but ice maker continued to work fine. After some phone calls to trouble shoot at a high level, I figured it was worth a try to buy the replacement part of the most likely culprit and see if it did the trick. Would have cos
... Read moret maybe $150 or more for service tech to make house call, provide the part and do the switch. Buying the part was only $40 and replacement was easy. Remove access panel from behind fridge and identify valve. It has intake water from the filter then has two outbound lines. One to ice maker, one to water dispenser. All function is in one part, but each outbound line has its own functioning valve. Unplug fridge, turn off water supply, disconnect all connections from old valve and reattach to new valve. When re-hooked, be patient in allowing water to re-fill line before coming out of dispenser in front. Likely to doubt it works, but surprised how long it took for water to fill line resevoir.
