Frigidaire Ice Maker Manually Cycle

Air in the new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle 2 or 3 times before making a full tray of ice.

Frigidaire ice maker manually cycle.

If the ice maker is not working the icemaker mold thermostat might be defective. All components of ice maker should function to complete the cycle. New plumbing connections may also cause the first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. Find two small round openings marked h and t beneath the gear.

To manually jump start this type of gear you need a small copper wire that is insulated. The correct fill is 102 to 130cc 3 4 to 4 3 oz. The water fill adjustment screw will change the fill time. If you attempt to manually turn the gear it will inevitably break rendering your ice maker useless.

Once the mold reaches the proper temperature the ice maker starts a harvest cycle by ejecting the ice cubes and refilling with water. At the end of the cycle the icemaker module sends power to the water inlet valve to refill the tray with water. You should notice two tiny holes labeled t and h and this is where you should insert each end of your wire. Insert the bare ends of the electrical wire into the openings so one end of the wire is in one opening and the opposite end is.
