[FONT='Times New Roman']Kitchen aid refrigerator with a non working ice maker. I have an 04/05 model KSCS25INSS00 refrigerator. A few years ago the ice dispenser quit working and I fixed this by replacing the ice tray motor control / timer unit. A month ago it quit working again. Thinking it a repeat problem I replaced the unit a 2nd time, but it didn't fix the problem. When it stops working the ice tray always has ice in it but it doesn't dump. If I turn the power off for an hour and turn it back on the ice maker will start working again, and it will continue to work for the next day and a half. It always stopping working with the ice maker tray full. When the door is open the optic sensor blinks 2 times and then repeats. When the sensor flapper door is closed the light is solid. The water dispenser in the door always works. I do not think it is a filter issue. The open ended water line that empties into the ice tray does not appear frozen but it is possible it is freezing somewhere else inside the refrigerator cabinet I cannot see? Any ideas?[/FONT]

From what I have described, why do you think the entire ice maker needs replacing if I can get it to work for a while after the power is turned off? Is it the blinking light codes..... isn't 2 short blinks normal?

Please, read and follow the troubleshooting test. Most likely the problem is within the icemaker.Could be the thermostat or mold heater. Simon.

Simon. Haven't tried testing it yet. I turned the power off Sunday for 2 hours when the ice bin was getting real low. I turned the power back on and as of Thursday morning it is still working. The ice bin is full. I don't believe for a minute the fix is perminant.... but it is still working, making this intermittant faiure hard to trace down.

I agree, it'll be much easier to take care of the problem if you know exactly what it is.
Simon.
