We received a call from Alliance, OH about a Frigidaire refrigerator with an ice maker that was broken and jamming with ice. When we arrived at the Lynnpark Street home, we found the ice maker assembly had failed completely and needed replacement.
The Problem
The customer reported their ice maker was broken and jammed with ice. The unit was not producing ice properly and ice was getting stuck in the mechanism, preventing normal operation.
Diagnosis
Our inspection revealed the ice maker assembly had failed internally. The jamming ice was a symptom of the malfunctioning ice maker components that could no longer cycle properly through the ice-making process.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 241798231 — ICE MAKER RADIUS
- Work performed: Replaced the ice maker
- Result: Ice maker now cycles properly without jamming
Is It Worth Repairing?
Frigidaire refrigerators are solid mid-range appliances that typically last 12-15 years with proper maintenance. Ice maker replacements are common repairs on these units and usually cost-effective compared to replacing the entire refrigerator, especially if the cooling system is still functioning well.
Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Ice Makers
- Replace the water filter every 6 months to prevent mineral buildup in the ice maker
- Clean the ice bin monthly and wipe down the ice maker housing to prevent scale buildup
- Check that the freezer temperature stays at 0°F — warmer temps can cause ice maker cycling issues
