#1 does not apply (no ice door chute) How do I diagnose # 2? This seems to be isolated to the ice tray. I have placed other ice in container in freezer and clumping does not occur.

The thermistor can be checked by a resistance reading. In most cases it’s best to just replace it because the the new part is usually less than $15. Any major appliance parts house will have it based on your model number. If you have added another ice tray and do not notice the Cube’s clumping together. I would also look at the ice maker as it goes to the Harvest cycle that it is not spilling over and leaking water into the ice tray. Sometimes when the ice makers overfill they can leak over into the ice tray and caused the ice to Clump or freeze together.

The ice maker will go through the Harvest cycle about every 90 minutes. The Fill time is between 3 to 6 seconds

Thank you. I am going to try replacing the thermistor. In looking at the the freezer section diagram I do not see “thermistor” listed. Is it have another name?
-
Also, if I want to look at the ice maker as it goes to the harvest cycle do I have to watch it for 90 minutes? Or is their a particular time in the 90 minutes I should expect the issue to occur?

Hello, is is called the freezer temperature thermistor . Here is the part #WR55X10026 . The ice maker will cycle after the thermostat temperature is satisfied inside the ice maker head . It can vary from 80 minutes to 120 minutes per harvest cycle . On average 90 minutes.

That part is not listed in the freezer section diagram. What diagram has it shown?

If your temp in the freezer is -3 your ice should not be melting. Check that the ice door chute is closing. Check so see if the ice maker is leaking into the bucket. Manually cycle the ice maker. It takes a couple of minutes for it to cycle and then fill with water at the end of the cycle. Monitor for water leaks when it fills.
