Ice maker on Kenmore S/S broke main dial wheel mounting tabs. Trying to remove entire unit, but wiring harness is making me look stupid. Seems to plug into sidewall of freezer, but will not come out. Any suggestions?
:rolleyes:
If the plug is round then just pull it out.
If the plug is flat then it suppose to be a latch on the right side of the plug.

I am having a similiar problem removing the old wiring harness from the freezer. It seems to be connected inside the freezer wall. I have dug into the insulation a little, but still cannot see where the connection occurs. Has anyone else seen this before?
Justin,
How did you know the thermal fuse has gone bad? Is there a water filter now? If "yes", is it built-in or in-line?
The complete model number might help.
Gene.
After the water filter has been replaced you have to dispense 2-3 gal of water to get rid of air in the system. Did you do it?
A blown Thermal fuse in the ice maker wire harness means a faulty ice maker thermostat.
Post the results of your tests.
The model number you posted does not come up. Verify and repost it.

Ok, just to follow up. I fat fingered the model number, after re-checking it is ED5FHEXNS00 or just ED5FFHE. I already had the ice maker out of the freezer so I went ahead and spliced in the new fuse. The old one was indeed bad, and when I re-attached the ice maker it still didn’t work, so maybe it is the thermostat you mentioned. I removed the working ice maker from the garage freezer and put it in the kitchen freezer and to much delight and celebration we got some ice. The cubes were probably about 80% the size you would normally expect, but they aren’t hollow any more and I think they are big enough. Better than what I had before at least so I am calling it fixed. Don’t know if it is worth replacing the thermostat in the non working ice maker, or just get a new ice maker at this point. In any case thanks for all the input and help in this thread and others. This is a Great site!
