How to Repair the Ice Maker for a Frigidaire Model FRS26ZSG

The Frigidaire model FRS26ZSG is a side-by-side refrigerator manufactured by Frigidaire that features an ice maker assembly and front door ice dispensing flap. The ice maker inside the freezer relies on a sensor arm within the ice tray to correctly indicate ice levels and the need for continued ice production. There are a few likely problems that may be impeding the Frigidaire model FRS26ZSG from correctly dispensing ice from its tray. You can troubleshoot these problems and repair the ice maker without an advanced knowledge of Frigidaire appliance design and construction.

Instructions

    • 1

      Move the Frigidaire model FRS26ZSG slightly and carefully away from the wall. Check to ensure that the power cord is plugged into the electrical outlet. If it has come loose, reinsert it securely into the outlet.

      Ensure that the refrigerator's ice tray has not become filled with ice chunks that are stopping ice from flowing out of the tray. Open the freezer door and flip open the ice tray. Remove any ice chunks that have formed that are clearly too large to fit through the freezer door's front ice flap. These chunks are restricting the regular ice cubes from exiting the ice tray.

      Check the Frigidaire model FRS26ZSG ice tray's sensor bar if ice stops flowing out of the dispenser and ice chunks have not been an issue. Ice production may have stopped simply because the sensor bar was pushed up and out of position. Look at the top left section of the ice tray. Flip down the sensor bar so that it points down toward the bottom of the tray. This repositioning of the sensor arm will signal to the ice maker assembly that ice must be made and that the assembly must begin running again.
