i hv whirlpool 165 fridge its cooling water but not making ice at all in freezer what would be the problem ??

Question

shown it to 2 mechanics both are giving different statement

Answer 1

Sometimes the freon as they called it is a mixture of oil and refrigerant. After cycling so many times through your lines, rust can build up on the inside of the line causing a blockage. That's why part of the refrigerator will be cold in one part and warm in the other, because of the blockage.

Answer 2

Make sure the freezer temp itself is turned up high enough. There are usually separate controls for the fridge and freezer temps. And then keep water and other liquids capped because the "frost free" thing works by removing humidity from the compartments. If there's ice on the back of the freezer, it's not working properly. Make sure you keep the doors shut. Don't let people stand there with the doors open staring inside. If it's producing condensate, and the door seal is okay, that only leaves one culprit.... the doors are open too often and for too long. Keep them closed. 3 days ago

Answer 3

One of three problems:

1) Is the control lever in the correct position? It must be down. When the bin fills with ice, it pushes the lever up and shuts-off the ice-making capability.

2) Is there water entering the ice maker? There is a solenoid on the bottom of the refrigerator that controls the flow of the water to the ice maker. If you have no water in the maker, you'll still get water at your dispenser, but you will get no ice.

3) It could be the built-in termination thermostat in the ice maker. It's purpose is to detect when the ice is frozen enough to put the ice maker in the harvest cycle. If it fails closed, then the ice maker thinks there's still ice in the tray, and it will perpetually stay in harvest.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Could be that you don't have the "switch" turned on to tell it to make ice.... Could be that your water line is clogged or that you need to change your filter, if it has one...
Ensure there isn't a kink in the water line running to the ice maker..
That's where I would begin...

What is it that these "mechanics" are saying? It should be pretty simple...

Answer 5

You should have a temperature control dial, either inside the frige, or at the back. Turn it down a couple of notches to make the fridge run colder.

Answer 6

for making ice fridge req. minus temp.(bellow-5 degree) so pl contact ur dealer.

Answer 7

may be the gas is leaking. let them check it again.

Answer 8

you please clean your fridge
