Good video. It shows a lot of good information. You might double check the 120 volt outlet for the power and neutral legs. The short slot should be power (hot) and the long slot neutral. I think you stated the opposite.

Very helpful video! I just replaced the same unit in my Norcold 1200LRIM using your video! Thanks!

[@youcantoorv9860]

Glad it helped!

Great video.

As a master tech, that was painful to watch. The first 5 tests you did could be completed by just jumping the solenoid. 120✓ water in ✓ water in ice tray✓ solenoid working✓ . I don't even have to watch any more then the 1st 2 mins. I'd say your mech is shot. You can also jump the mechanism to easily test that. Typically a 14-12 ga wire to test each feature and timing.

I never pretend to be a master of anything. I think that the video helps people to understand how the icemaker works (or doesn't). We amateurs aren't always after the quickest path when in DYI mode. However, we certainly appreciate quick when we're paying shop rate.

@@youcantoorv9860 No need in to pretend. It's an RVIA certification that's only earned. By few

It was a easy and cheap fix.

I installed a new ice maker in my Norcold. Temp gets to 6. I checked back on it and nothing but water in the container. Took the ice maker out out of frustration. Turned frig off. Left freezer door open. A day later, with no ice maker and the frig off, it had pumped about 3 inches of water into the compartment. Water pump was on. What gives? Solenoid?

[@youcantoorv9860]

It sounds like the solenoid valve isn't closing. The valve should only open when it's energized by the icemaker. Confirm that solenoid isn't energized, if water is passing the valve is bad. Be careful it's 120VAC!

I think that's the most words Phil's ever said 🤣 🤣 🤣
