20 Most Recent GE Monogram ZDI15C Automatic Icemaker Questions & Answers

I could write a book on this subject and how many times people request it. I will try to briefly educate you. It is against the law to add freon to a refrigerator unless it is a one time only for diagnostic purposes. Freon never loses its ability to do what it is designed to do. If it leaks out, there is a reason, a leak, which must be found and repaired or the failed component must be replaced. Loss of refrigerant, or freon, is the last thing that we suspect when a refrigerator won't cool properly. 99 out of 100 times, it is the defrost system or air flow that causes problems. The refrigeration system is "sealed" which means it is designed so that it will never leak or need to be "recharged". There are very strict laws and heavy fines involved should you be caught releasing refrigerant into the air be it by a leak that you do not repair and you just "patch" by adding freon, or be it by an intentional release into the air. In our state one must be liscened and hold a certificate to handle. buy, or work with "freon".

if it keeps filling and overflowing you have a bad water valve on the back of the fridge.the part number is WR57X10027 and the valve is around 75 dollars.first thing lift the arm or shut off the ice maker so it won't leak anymore,you're missing a few letters off of the model number so when you call your parts store give them the full model number,open the fridge door,look up on the right hand side wall up near the ceiling and give them the model number to make sure you get the correct valve,shut off the water supply to the fridge,then have the new valve next to the old valve when you remove a water line from the old valve just connect it to the new valve,do this until everything is changed out and the new valve is in place,turn on the water supply and you can check the ice maker to make sure it doesn't overflow.you can manually start the ice maker by grabbing the plastic arms of the ice maker and pull them forwards slowly until the arms start to advance on their own,you'll hear the water valve fill the ice maker and then you can watch it fill to see if the water is filling it correctly and i'm sure you'll be fine with the new water valve installed

 Whenever the unit has reached a failure mode, the LED will flash, and the unit will shut down. If the failure was caused during a harvest cycle which lasted more than 16 minutes, the LED will remain flashing on & off in halfsecond increments. If the failure is caused by a faulty bin thermistor, (not detected), the LED will remain flashing on & off in 1-second increments. These are the only two failures that cause the unit to reach a shutdown failure mode. x During the Clean cycle, the control board performs the diagnostics first. If the bin thermistor is not detected, the LED will flash two times. This is followed by a 3-second delay. If the evaporator thermistor is not detected, the LED will flash on five times. This will be followed by a 3-second delay. The LED will then come back on, and remain on for the remainder of the Clean cycle, and until the unit is turned back on.

my best guess is the board in the door.try appliance parts pros.they have the best warrenty on parts.

These units often have a hard-to-see reset button to resume proper operation. Look hard or check your manual.

Replace I/m

pretty big job to replace compressor on this refrigerator. Thats video I made on one of my customers monogram. Hope That helps.

Have you checked to assure the long narrow hose that comes from the upper lback left corner is attached both on top and inside the water tray? This drove me nuts for 3 hours.

Check freezer temp since no ice will be produced if temp does not hit around 10 degrees or less.

Don't use clr... use recommend descaler

The ice maker will not make ice with the water running in contently this keeps the water temp to high. Turn machine off, cut water supply off to machine, remove water inlet valve, ether take valve apart and rebuild it or replace the water inlet valve. Reassemble in reverse order and machine should make ice.

Replace the bin thermostat

Is the cutting grid getting warm if just warm make sure you don't have any loose wires supplying power to grid. Check grid cutting transformer to make sure it is working. make sure grid is clean. If you are getting power to cutting grid and it's not getting warm then cube let cutter grid is bad. If this needs to be replaced you might thank about a new machine the cost for this part is around 480.00 part number AP2068335

BIN Thermistor part number 2313633 from sears.

It's best to have a qualified service company properlly diagnose your appliance failure. Something to check would be removing the to kick grill, and making the sure the condenser coil is clean and free of dust. It's rare that you would have a freon issue, but may be experiencing a sealed system issue such as an internal leaking reversing valve allowing the freon to be channeled in two directions within the system instead of just one.

Have you checked to see if you have power to the unit. give me some more info.

It is still taking on water when hopper is full , like the arm that shut off the water is stuck open?? what is happening?

it may be not getting the right amount of water check the float or soliniod valve if it is equipped.
