Technical Question: water is flooding ice maker/freezer. Should I assume it's the solenoid valve that's failed? Thanks!

I believe it is called the water inlet valve. It is installed in the rear of the fridge down by the floor. The pipe from the kitchen sink is connected directly into the valve.

I am sorry that you purchased this unit. The electric motor in mine broke after about 3 winters. I don't know why it is leaking. It should not leak. Make sure that the water reservoir spring stopper is working properly and that the reservoir is seated properly.

Hi David, According to the manual: "P1- Unit is defrosting-- Allow the unit time to automaticallydefrost. The error will clear after the unit self defrosts."

I am not an expert but from my own experience I would say the "pressure switch" has malfunctioned. My pump froze last winter and it broke the pressure switch mounting. The replacement cost of the switch is almost the same as a new pump so I just bought a new one. It was a 20 min job to replace and now all is working and new. Lesson learned - drain the water before it freezes!

when I had a problem hooking this into my boat's system, I just called the manufacturer and talked to a very helpful tech person who solved it completely. Maybe it's a tech problem and not needing the warranty, which I don't know anything about. Call the company.

Probably not the valve. I had the same issue and the problem was the outlet tube was clogged with carbon. I would check that first.

May be a stupid question but did you connect to water line? Check the lever inside, it should be positioned down for ice

I would call the company requesting a replacement. It may be under warranty. I had the previous model of this one for about 7 years and one of the valves stopped working a few years into owning and they replaced it no problem.....worth a try!

We had the same problem and needed to replace the o-ring at the base of the water tank. My husband did it - if I recall it was a simple fix.

The kit is only a replacement ice maker unit. It DOES NOT contain the water valve or water tube up to the ice maker unit. You would have to check the back of the refrigerator at the bottom to see if there is a valve and water line running to the freezer compartment. I would also check to see if there is an electrical connector in the left rear of the freezer unit near where the ice maker would be.

I'm not sure, I do believe I've read somewhere where it does freeze up...might have been the hose though, and not the reservoir. I think they sell an insulated hose for that reason but can't be sure about the reservoir itself.

I am glad to see someone else has this problem! I have had mine replaced 4 times! Did you ever get yours working? I had an old model for 10 years that never leaked, so I know what I'm doing. Frustrating.

The only advice I can give is to defrost as the ice builds up. Just pull the plug and let it defrost slowly. Do not use anything to remove the ice.

I flushed the radiator and block, and started over with clean half water half antifreeze mixture and added the K Seal to the radiator. It worked that way for me. I didn't try adding to the overflow tank.

I just had to replace the solenoid, not the valve. The solenoid just unscrews. Make sure to replace the wires like they were connected.

The water valve is controlled by the ice maker. Mine stuck on over night and caused a flood. There is about a 7 second "fill" as the ice maker cycles. You may want to check to see if it cycles, does it get all the ice out before filling again. If it iver fills it will spill into the feezer and make icecycles.

May need to change filter. I have this piece of crap fridge. Ice maker quit working right after warranty expired. Ice maker is a well known problem to Frigidaire and they will not do anything. Better of buying cheap brand with old type ice maker.
