A few weeks ago, the “open door alarm” and red door open light would not stop alarming. I opened and closed all doors. Nothing worked. About an hour later, the alarms stopped. Problem: Now the lights inside the unit will not light when door is open. The ice makers will not make ice and the door will not dispense water

Led lights inside refrigerator flash bright to dim intermittently when doors are open. Is there a fix for it?
For model number WRV986FDEM01
PartSelect logo
Hi Verlin, Thank you for your question. If the LED lights are flickering inside your refrigerator, you may have a defective LED board and it will need to be replaced. You should also need to check the control module and the electronic control board. Unplugging the refrigerator and plugging it back in sometimes helps to resolve the issue. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!

Lights inside refrigerator not working
I used a flat-head screwdriver to pop out the old light rocker switch. Then, I unplugged the wires, plugged them into the new light rocker switch, and then popped the new switch into the hole. That's it! Lights began working again.

No ice in ice trey
The easiest thing to do was pull the ice make off. After taking the 3 screws out of the wall of the freezer, take a screwdriver (flathead) and push on the tab for the electrical plug and wiggle the cord out. Then you can take 3 screws out for the main cover and another 2 screws on the next cover. There's the part, pop it out and replace holding pins and start the process of putting back together the opposite way you took it apart.

Ice dispenser motor burnt out, water got inside.
Purchased new motor from Partselect.com. When it arrived it came with a new rubber washer that fitted on top of new motor that was not on old motor, that how water got into old motor. However, the instruction sheet did not give info on how to access the proper way to the motor that is the door. Not wanting to damage the freezer door assy. called in a tech who made it look easy, but even he had a little problem locating access panel that was directly under the motor in the freezer side of the door. After that it was a piece of cake.
