I had changed the Defrost Thermostat and tried again. It still had cycles of complete thawing where it would go up to 60+ degrees. I then changed both Thermistors and since then it is working fine, this has been a couple weeks now.:D

so do you think i should change the defrost thermostat? By the way, after it warmed up, it immediately started cooling down again.

this afternoon at your suggestion i put in a thermometer. It stayed around -6 all afternoon and then suddenly it stopped cooling and went up to 58 degrees.The inside of the freezer walls are wet, the icemaker is turned off. I am monitoring to see how long before it starts to cool down again. It...

how would the water leak make the sides of the freezer moist/wet to touch, it actually warms up in there such that any condensation or ice melts and re-freezes.

the defrost thermostat, is that the part described as the "thermistor"?

Thanks Sparky. I had it off a couple weeks ago long enough for things to melt(more than they are now) as i was replacing a water valve. Thats what you mean by "manual defrost"(turning it off and letting the freezer section melt/warm up?).

OK. I think i figured out what is going on here. My freezer goes through a cycle where it defrosts/thaws and re-freezes. When this happens the ice gets stuck together when it freezes again, and then the auger is trying to chip away at a frozen block. so i think the problem is not my Icemaker as...

Hi have an HSM25gfta. I have noticed that the icemaker is only dispensing crushed ide. Now while it might be the solenoid, i have moved the little plastic switch into the up position at the back and it dispenses cubed for a while. I have noticed that the underside of the icemaker has frozen ice...

OK, so here i am 2 years later and having a problem with the dispenser again. I have a Hotpoint HSM25GFTA SA and here is the issue... I swapped in a new water filter last week. Since then after getting water out of the dispenser(which with this new filter seems to be low flow) but after...

hello. i have a double car garage door. I noticed today that one cable on the side is a little frayed. I assume the chain on the top drives the steel rod to turn which in turn pulls the cable up and that is what makes the door go up. Correct? How dangerous is the cable? Should i change it right...

lower flow coming out during dispensing as well as for the few seconds of flow after removing a glass. I think i will try the filter first.

Hello Jeff. My problem started happening again. I know that my water filter needs changing right about now, is it possible that something in the flow from the filter can cause the switch to stay on? I can't believe i have a bad switch again. I still have good ice flow, but never changed the...

Thank you for the responses. I will buy a screw on vacuum breaker valve. Thanks again

Recently i replaced my water heater. I had to shutoff the water line at the side of the house. Once finished with the WH I tried to turn the valve and it just spun. So I realized I needed to replace the valve. Went to Home Depot and got some replacement parts, replaced the shutoff with a ball...

That was the problem. Thanks for all your help.
