I just purchased the add-on ice maker kit for my Frigidaire FRT8B5EWC refrigerator. I have everything hooked up and the water is turned on, but it doesn’t look like the water valve is working? I double checked that the water lines were connected correctly. I’m not hearing the valve engage. Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot the valve? I poured some water into the ice tray and it ejected ice cubes this afternoon so I know that part of the kit works. I’m thinking that it may be a power issue or the coil on the solenoid valve is dead. Can anybody tell me if there should be constant voltage coming off of the plug that attaches to the valve? Any help is greatly appreciated!
The valve only has voltage to it when the icemaker is calling for water. Hook a multimeter up to the two wires to the valve and start a harvest cycle by turning the gear on the end of the icemaker. It will only take a click or two and it should take off by itself. Keep and eye on the meter to see if 120vac shows up. If it does, then the valve must be dead. If no voltage, then it’s time to check the icemaker.
Glad I could help.
Set the oven for Bake at 350°F and put an oven thermometer in the middle of the oven. Wait about 10 minutes after the oven preheated, open the oven door and read the temperature. Post the results.
Make sure you used a right baking sheet at the right position as described in the "[B]Use & Care manual[/B]".
