If you replace your ice maker and still find the ice maker is icing up, you may also need to replace the defrost heater, defrost thermostat, and/or control board.

Thank you so much for stepping through this. Very clear, very helpful.

[@kjfacilities-maint]

You’re welcome!

@@kjfacilities-maint - Kevin, we have such an ice dam in our unit that I cannot get the tray out. Do you know if turning off the ice maker turns off the cooling as well as production process? I'd like not to have to turn the whole fridge off. Again, thanks for this helpful video!

[@kjfacilities-maint]

@MannikinFreezTag you can turn off the ice maker or unplug the wiring harness that goes to the ice maker.

I turned off the ice maker but that didn’t help. Had to just really commit with the steamer to get things to loosen up. Even when it looked clear as the eye could see, there was a strong block in the back between the cooling hose that was preventing the unit from sliding away from the hose.

Respectfully request your assistance or tip: I can't get the plastic air tunnel to lock in place. Im pushing it up but there seems to be some resistance. The coil looks to be in place correctly. Thanks for video.

[@kjfacilities-maint]

Make sure there is no ice anywhere that could impede the air tunnel. Make sure the slot in the back and the two slots in the front are fully engaging and that front tab should then click into place.

Wow thanks for the prompt reply. Got to the point when you try to jam something back in place nothing good comes out of it 😆. I'll take it back out and put it back in. The front two slots are in place.
