Frigidaire Refrigerator Repair - Not Getting Water - Solenoid Valve

[@tbusch3265]

I just got finished changing mine out. Both of them. Inlet valve and diode. Thanks to your step by step video! Easy to do. I was a little concerned the diode was going to be difficult. But it wasnt. I now have ice again! Oh by the way I am a female so this helped me a lit!

Come work for my appliance company!I need techs that are much smarter than this dweeb in the video!

[@jasonhilsenroth67]

Thank you. Very good tutorial!

[@MrLawnboy77]

Pretty good video! Thanks! I had already figured the solenoid was bad because it was a typical sound that I was used to hearing over the last 15 years, that I wasn't hearing anymore. It would be pretty easy to check for power going to the solenoid, but in my case I bought the fridge new over 15 years ago and knew these solenoid were the weak link in the system, so I just rolled the dice and bought a new valve. All is good now, ops check good. I immediately could hear the solenoid actuate and after I cleared the ice obstruction at the top of the fill hose I'm in business. I suppose with a bad valve water sitting stagnant in the fill line will tend to ice up at the top...so yeah, make sure you clear the ice at the tube where it goes to the ice maker.

Just rewatched your video. I replaced the inlet valve 2 weeks ago and it all worked fine. The valve went bad. Today it fails a continuity test. Can a bad diode cause a valve to fail? If so then I will have to replace the diode but it is a 50 dollar part so I don’t want to if it is not necc

[@PriscillaSwaney]

Good video, but to be a perfectionist you would have had a portable vacuum and cleaned the dust off before ever beginning the repairs. Cannot believe you didn't get all that dust and fire hazard off the coils. If you had been my tech and at least offered to allow me to clean the coils since it is not part of your service call, I would have given your company a big thumbs up and highly recommended you.

really nice video for sure !! I even liked how he installed the strain relief clip as an extra measure.. Was it his fault one wasn't there ? No !!! If the customer pulled the unit out to clean behind it (which looks like they never did as most customers never do), you can only bet they'd blame it on the last guy who worked behind it.. just sayin...

So my issue is the solenoid isn’t receiving 115v water solenoid is getting 115v and water is perfectly fine with good pressure also solenoid is more than likely plugged because “black things would come out” as stated by customer. Also ik it’s calling for ice when I press the ice dispenser readings would change by 1 or 2 weird problem any input or ideas besides bad board

So. I have no water and no Ice. This happened when we moved in abt 3 yrs ago. I replaced the water inlet, new filter and it all worked. Ive been replacing rhe filter and no issues. But here we are again no water, no ice. So i changed the filter and cleared the ice where the hose goes into the ice maker. Still no water. So I replaced the inlet again. I can hear the water dispenser trying to work but still no water. ? ? Water seems to be getting to the filter because i hve removed and replced it a few times and water is dripping from it. Any ideas?.

Same thing for me! Did you find it out?

[@benwilliams5923]

A lot of videos go over what might be the cause for an ice maker not making ice. One of those reasons could be a clogged water inlet tube leading into the ice maker. That was my problem BUT I can't find in any of your videos that explain why the water inlet tube would freeze over preventing water to enter the ice maker thus not making ice. Everything works but that. Please help.

We bought a used Frigidaire side by side, 5 years old, from a friend. The ice maker worked fine. We got it home and it wasn't getting water to it, however the water dispenser worked fine. After reading the trouble shooting guide, my husband replaced the water valve triple solenoid. ( Part #240531101) They said it might take 24 to 48 hours to work. At 48 hours, my husband checked it, yet again, and the inside where the cubes are made was so hot it burned his hand. What the heck? It was still not getting water, either. It was professionally moved and disconnected. HELP!!!! I really love this refrigerator and the one I got rid of, the ice maker didn't work because it was old. I was really looking forward to ice!!! Ever had this happen and what next? Christy C.
