We serviced an Admiral refrigerator on Wood Trail Avenue NE in Canton, OH where the ice maker was not making cubes but making large pieces of ice. Our diagnosis revealed multiple components in the ice making system needed replacement to restore proper cube formation.
The Problem
The customer reported their Admiral refrigerator’s ice maker was not making cubes but making large pieces of ice instead. This typically indicates issues with the ice formation cycle or water delivery system components.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found the ice maker assembly itself was malfunctioning, along with compromised air flow components and water supply issues that were preventing proper ice cube formation and causing the irregular ice pieces.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 243297609 — Ice Maker, 5303918784 — Air Handler Housing, 241920106 — Fill Tube Kit
- Work performed: Installed a new ice maker, air handler kit and new ice maker water supply line
- Result: Ice maker now produces properly formed ice cubes
Is It Worth Repairing?
Admiral refrigerators are typically mid-range appliances that can provide good service life when properly maintained. For a refrigerator of this age, replacing the ice maker components makes sense if the main cooling system is functioning well, as these are common wear items that can be cost-effectively repaired.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Refrigerators
- Replace water filter every 6 months to prevent mineral buildup in ice maker components
- Clean ice maker monthly by running cleaning cycles to prevent scale accumulation
- Check and clear drain tubes annually to maintain proper water flow to ice maker
