My icemaker only makes 1 tray of cubes in 24 hours. I replaced the unit and still have the same issue. Could it be the defrost timer. I had to replace that part 5 or 6 years ago?

Hello John, Thank you for the question. Poor water flow will affect how your ice maker produces ice. If the Water flow is slow then it will make less ice. We suggest checking the water lines first to make sure there is no ice or frost build up inside preventing the water from getting to the Ice Maker. If the Water Lines are good, we suggest replacing the Water Valve. We hope this helps!
My plfu1778es2 cycles on and off as is should. It is "on" for about 27 minutes then "off" for about 17 minutes it continues to cycles like this. Is this a normal cycle time?

Hello Thomas, Thank you for your inquiry. Researching the model number that you have provided, you could have an issue with the water inlet valve. You can test the water inlet valve with a multimeter to see if it is causing the issue and we have included a link on how to do so. We hope this helps.
When cleaning the coils on your refrigerator always remember rule number 1, unplug it first. I was cleaning the coils and hit the fan blade while it was moving with a brush, thus breaking off one of the fan blades. I ordered a new fan and installed it in about 15 minutes. Very easy repair.
Easy fix. I unplugged the freezer, unload items in freezer. took out shelves and baskets, Pulled off the control knob then removed all screws. removed inside panel, replaced part exactly as I took out old part. Put the panel back on, put everything back in place. Plugged freezer back in and turned the knob to 3. Let freezer run for a day to see if I ordered the correct part. Problem is fixed. Thank you, PartSelect for making it so easy to find, order the correct part and for all the customers input to make the repair easy.
After silencing the alarm, it seemed to be running as normal without any unusual noises, but food was starting to thaw from the top shelf on down and condensation was dripping from the roof. We were able to place most of the food in 2 large ice chests and then the rest in the freezer compartments of 2 fridges we have in the house. I then turned down the temp dial to the coldest setting and let it run for an hour or so; no change.
After researching on the internet, it sounded like our symptoms could be pointing to a defrost timer issue. I pulled the freezer away from the wall, located the timer and used a large screwdriver to slowly advance it. While doing this, at one point I could hear the compressor kick in. I pushed the quick freeze button and let it run for a while. When I checked it in a few hours, the alarm light had gone out and water that I had placed inside was frozen. We took a chance and put the food we placed in the ice chests back in the freezer. Everything was fine several hours later.
I ordered a new defrost timer, it arrived in a couple of days, and replaced the old one with it in a matter of minutes by disconnecting the wire harness from the old timer, removing the 2 screws holding it onto the bracket, screwing the new timer to the bracket, reconnecting the wires harness, and done. It's been a week or so and no problems.
