| got a question
I had to replace my fridge and there is a waterline with a valve that needs replaced for the Ice maker I need to replace the stuck valve, that wont turn, even after heating with a torch, then oil, it won't turn the water off so when I replace valve the question is how much flow/pressure does it need for the ice maker open the valve fully, half way does anybody know cause I rented a appliance dolly and it costing me money so I need to change out fridges fast and return the dolly so I was hoping some body here knows so I get it down tomorrow morning Last edited by kgb424; 11-23-2015 at 09:09 PM. |

IIRC the flow is regulated by the valve on the fridge. The ice maker mechanism is basically a timer. It depends on X amount of water flowing in X amount of time to have full sized cubes. Too little water and you get little cubes. Too much water and it overflows and you get everything in the bottom of the freezer frozen to a sheet of ice. So if you can't get the manual valve open all the way, the worst that will happen is smaller than usual cubes. |

You open the valve all the way, ice maker does the rest. On second thought your fridge may need new spark plugs. I would check with Mark first though. |

Does the ice-maker have a separate BEC?

Food what the **** do you think, I don't know if they celebrate Thanksgiving in the Philippines, There was naval bases there and a lot of the Filipino people worked on base and married Americans and are familiar with are customs So I guess some of the Filipino people could celebrate are holidays She never mentioned if her family was having thanksgiving dinner I know her family celebrates Christmas and New Years Their holidays are different from ours Last edited by kgb424; 11-25-2015 at 02:21 AM. |
