Magnet in Kitchenaid refrigerator broke and now light sensor stays on

I think the problem might be with the sensor in the water tank, you might need to replace it or send it to be replaced.

The fridge freezers are called stainless steel but it is a term that is used more for marketing than an actual statement of what they are made of, the grade of stainless steel they use is very very low grade and the manufacturers of the appliances coat the steel with a protective clear coat to stop corrosion. This is why it is magnetic.

sensor light is on stays blinking on and off there is no ice or little bit of ice being made what is happenning hoe do i repair this.

These people have magnetic refrigerator covers - applianceart.com

Hi, welcome to fixya.

A very common problem with those fridges actually. Especially after the door "swing" has been changed. Check to make sure the door sensor`s or door switch ( whatever the case may be...it depends on the model ) are secure and contacting each other when the door is closed. You can do this by accessing one or both sides of the door`s at the hinge assembly cover at the cabinet top. There should be sensor`s on either side which sense when the door is closed by "making" with magnets on the doors.

That is the most likely cause. You can check it with another magnet ( unless it is the push closed switch style I alluded to previous ) by holding it next to the door closed indicating magnet. If the light goes out, it`s an alignment issue, if not it`s likely a wiring issue. Let me know if I can assist you further. Thank you for visiting "fixya". Please take a moment to rate the solution if indeed it solved your problem. If it did not, let me know and I will try and provide you with further assistance.

good luck.

when you broke the belt you most likely broke the magnet for the cam sensor. What you need to do is spin the engine around to TDC and look for a magnet.

Take the sensor out first.

Tube sometimes freezes because of minerals in it hold one droplet at a time until buildup freezes solid. Replace tube first. Water valve allowing some droplets through can also cause this. Tube first-less expensive.

DIY absolutely. Easy job with replacement part just re-thread the strip into the grove to replace.

youll nned to physically reset the button, usually holdingdown for 3 secs, repaclin ghte filter itself will not reset the counter

I just bought the SamsungRF267AB bottom freezer refrigerator.  Amoung the features that must be disabled for shabbos are the lights, motor cuttoff and inside panel indicators.  On most refrigerators there is a swich that you can tape in the depressed mode that will trick the unit into thinking the door is still closed.  With this unit it's magnetic.  you need to place a magnet on the top of the door frame to make the refigerator think the door is still closed.  I hope this helps.
