NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.
Check Temp inside freezer. It has to be down to about 10 or 15 degrees
This can cause slow ice making if its too high even tho its freezing everything else at 25 degrees
The ref. temp should be about 33-35
The Freezer temp should be 0 to 10 Any thing below these temps is overkill and a waste of elect
The higher the number you turn it up to is the coldest
The icemaker is 110v
See if water is in icemaker.
Pour water in Ice Maker and wait to see if it ejects.
If it ejects thenyou need to replace water valve in rear bottom of fridge(Its the part that
attaches to water line out of wall)
If it doesn't eject then it is a faulty Ice Maker.
If its leaking or no water at icemaker or door either one, then the valve at the rear bottom of ref needs replacing
First I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if freezer control is turned WARMER, which makes the Ref. colder
Also if it is getting drinking water to the door but not to the icemaker (or vice versa) Then you need to replace
the water valve at the bottom rear of the fridge. It is a double valve and one side is not working
Also this might be a common Defrost problem, Ice
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.
Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean.
There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card.
Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath

i would sut the unit down and thaw it out . if you try to force it you will break it .. .. use a hair dryer to shaw or a stemer . both work well. .. mm hope this helps feed back pls .

Likely the fuse on the main control board blew out. You can either replace the board or do a repair to the board. There is a video on YouTube that shows how.

You will have to remove the inner freezer panel.The fan is in behind that panel/.Thre panel from freezer will come out from inside of freezer.

In your case I believe you are talking about a thermal overload located on the compressor and inside the wiring cover. The compressor has one on the inside also. If compressor can't start normally the overload cut the power to compressor to prevent damage. If this in happening frequently then we need to find out what is going on. Let me know, Thanks, Sea Breeze

Hi

Check the freezer to ensure it isn't over loaded with food stuff; reason being air must flow freely threw out the entire refrigerator in order for the thermostat to work correctly. You should also check the coils on the rear of the refrigerator and make sure they are clean and dust free. If you still have problems after trying the above; you may need to call a repair service to come out and check the unit.

Please check this links to get a detailed idea as to why your unit is not cooling:-

do you know how to maybe jump the thermostat. let me know.

Unfourtunately this means there is a communication error between the display p.c.b & the main p.c.b & they often both need to be replaced if it's out of warranty it is going to be expensive if not ring straight away otherwise the whole fridge will stop working.This doesn't happen much it is a good fridge you are just unlucky.

The evaporator coils frost up in normal use and every eight hours or so the entire unit shuts down and the defrost heater comes on to melt the frost. This cycle last about 20 minutes. The melted frost drips into a drain pan and through a drain tube to the drain tray under the freezer/refrigerator where it's evaporated by the condenser fan.


Your drain tube may be stopped up with ice at the upper end because it drains too slow because it's stopped up at the lower end in the evaporator pan under the unit at the floor. It can get dust and mold in it. Once you get the ice out at the top a little pressure with a turkey baster will usually clear it out. Flushing it out with hot water and clorox may help.
Make sure it drains quick enough to prevent refreezing. . The drain should be located below the evaporator coils on the inside of the freezer at the bottom of the rear cover.

Your fridge systems under chocked. Whenever transport refrigerant unit you should not lift down wards on suction side which will lead compressor oil thr' discharge line. When compressor on, it will pump the oil.It get chocked on filter drier resulting to no cool.

Solution. Remove all gas, and also filter drier. Now flush out condenser side separate and evaporator side separately.Then replace filter drier and vacuum the system.Now do gas charging. Thanks. helpful?

This is a known problem. There is a drain that allows condensation to escape to the bottom of the unit where it will evaporate. Ice accumulates in the drain causing it to clog and the moisture drains to the freezer bottom.
The solution is to empty the unit and defrost it for 24-36 hours. The ice in the drain will melt allowing the unit to work as it was designed. To avoid future problems make sure the doors are always kept shut. Ours clogged after our son left the refrigerator door open on day.

Turn thermostat switch counter clockwise and again clock wise. Defrost switch will get released. Helpful?

Unplug ref for about 5 Min. If does not fix the board in the door may be at fault or the main board.

You may need a service call.

that's the way it works ;-(

you should defrost your frig every 6-12 months.
