well Hello all,,,hoping someone could help,,,i have two problems,,,one is the icemaker is filling up with water and turning into a block of ice,,,not good. i changed the solenoid about a year ago and it was fine.on another thread someone replaced some circuit board and the icemaker assy and it solved their problem,,,me,,, i need help. The other problem i have is the fan inside the freezer,it will not work,i put a new fan in and it still did not work. I tested the fan at a 110 vac outlet and it worked.i tested the connector in the back of the unit and found only the hot leg works,,,no neutral.if i run a jumper for a neutral to refrigerator ground fan works fine,,,,soooo HELP,,,i need lots of help

You've already fixxed it.

Just make sure, the new connections are water proof,and insulated.

Now for the icemaker,

I believe this unit has a "twist tray" icemaker ?

If so, make sure the twist tab(s) on the back of the tray and the "catch" tab on the icemaker housing are not broken off, and that the tray does no move too far forward.

Hopefully it's that minor.

hi Joe, i very ,very very much appreciate your input,thank you very much,i will check the tray asap,its funny,on the ice maker also it filled frozen twice,the first time i replaced the solenoid,i thought it siezed or had sediment in it ( such a small electronic shut off ),this 2nd time i changed it again but i added a water filter before it now,i dont know why i feel so strongly about sediment but this will rest my fears,,i read on other posts it might be pc board and samsungs are horrible,and it might be all downhill if i mess with pc board,,,anyway thanks again and if you have any more tips about my situation thanks

Vinny,

Remember, you'll need to replace that in line filter (1) once a year, wether it needs it, or not.

As for the twist tray, I mentioned that as your first check / repair, I've seen a lot of guys throw all kinds of parts at this style ice maker, only to find out it was the tray catch(s) all along.

You still may need a control module or sensor, but check the twist tray and catches first.

Vinny,

Sorry to hear that.

The icemaker in that type unit are slower than the average "heat release" ice maker(60 minutes vs 90 minutes). I was under the impression it was taking way longer.

Thanks for the response, glad you're doing well.
