Hi Bruce,
Thank you for your valuable post on this subject. It is near and dear to my heart. May I ask you to help me troubleshoot my problem after replacing the ice maker unit in my U-Line U-CO2075FB-00 Echelon (circa 20??), with a Frigidaire IM116000 ice maker kit. I believe I followed he directions properly - especially with the "extra" wires that couldn't be match (moved to ground).
However, while the water flows into the ice tray and it freezes, BUT no ice gets dispensed into the bin. I don't know why. Might you be a able to advise what I must have done wrong
I believe I properly connected the wires of the ice maker to the wires coming into the unit per the above. I think the problem may be either (1) that the ice tray doesn't get warmed before the mechanism can eject it or (2) the rotator never moves to eject it, or (3) the sensors aren't working, or (4) the sensors aren't activating the mechanisms.
As you know, the prior ice cube maker assembly had a long wire (temp probe?) that was inserted into long tube running lengthwise down and under the ice maker ice cube tray. I believe that this would sense the temp and/or "heat up" the tray so the mechanism that rotates clockwise to dispense the ice can work properly. Since the IM116000 doesn't provide that long tube, I just bent it a bit to run under the ice cube tray and taped it to the bottom of the ice maker tray.
It seemed also that the original U-Line ice cube tray had some adhesive on the bottom that held that tube onto the bottom of the ice cube tray (aka mold heater?). The new solution seemed to say that that wasn't required.
I appreciate your review of this. Let me know if you need any more info to help you understand better. I can also send you pictures of the unit/wiring.
Thanks,
Raj
