My icemaker will not dispense the ice cubes unless I heat up the cubes to loosen them up. I suspect the motor is getting weak. Everything else is fine. Is the motor (AP4310544) hard to rplace or would I be better off ordering the full icemaker kit (AP2984633) ?

The problem could be a bad mold heater, a fault in the module or a bad motor.

I would recommend to replace the whole ice maker. It is a little more expensive but it's much easer and much more reliable.

How many harvests does the icemaker do a day? My brandnew one only makes Ice every 6 or 7 hours

replace the icemaker, it should make a tray of ice about every 2 hours if your freezer is cold enough...

The icemaker is brandnew. How cold should the freezer be? Does the icemaker sence how cold the cubes are before dispensing occurs?

Hi RossC,

In order to provide the most accurate advise I need the complete model number of the fridge.
