Yes, you should drain the Frigidaire EFIC117-SS ice maker when turning it off. Open the Drain Plug to remove excess water, especially if you are cleaning the unit or not using it for an extended period.

When the power and ice size lights are flashing on a Frigidaire EFIC117-SS ice maker and it will not make ice, it likely indicates a problem such as ice blockage, high ambient or water temperature, or a water supply issue. Try turning off the unit, letting any ice blockage melt, and restarting it. Also, check that the water reservoir has enough cold water and that the unit is plugged into a proper power source.

Troubleshooting steps for a Frigidaire EFIC117-SS icemaker that has stopped working include:
1. Check Power Supply: Ensure the unit is plugged into a standard 110/120 Volt, 60 Hertz outlet.
2. Check Water Supply: - If the ‘Add Water’ light is on, remove the ice basket and add water to the reservoir, staying below the MAX level mark. - Replace the ice basket, close the cover, wait 3 minutes, then press the Power button to restart.
3. Check for Ice Blockage: - If ice is blocking the pusher or other internal parts, turn off the unit and let the ice melt. - After melting, restart the unit.
4. Check Ambient and Water Temperature: - Operate the unit in temperatures under 90°F. - Use cooler water if the water temperature is too high.
5. Check for Full Ice Basket: - If the “Ice Full” light is on, remove ice from the basket to allow more to be made.
6. Check for Refrigerant Issues: - If no ice is being made and the cycle seems normal, there may be a refrigerant leak. Consult a qualified technician.
7. Restart Procedure: - After any issue is resolved, wait 3 minutes and press the Power button to restart the ice-making function.

I haven't used my ice maker in over a year as I've been hospitalized, I don't have the manual and don't remember where I add the water, I have ideas, but I don't want to pour the water in the wrong place and ruin my unit. Thank you for your time and cooperation as I'll be patiently waiting on your reply.

You add water directly into the water reservoir of the Frigidaire EFIC117-SS ice maker. Make sure the drain plug underneath the front of the unit is closed and the water tube screen is in place before filling. Use room temperature or cooler water.

My ice cubes are only half the size they use to be how do I fix this.

Half-sized ice cubes in the Frigidaire EFIC117-SS may be caused by low water levels or air in the water lines. To fix this:
1. Check and add water to the reservoir if needed. 2. Remove the drain cap and drain a small amount of water to remove air from the lines. 3. Replace the drain cap securely. 4. Restart the unit.
Make sure the unit is set to the correct ice size and plugged into a standard 110/120 Volt outlet.

Icemaker works but door doesn't stay closed when cycle is ready to freeze. Also, even if water is filled, the fill light comes on.

Mr. Anderson
May 12, 2025
The door of the Frigidaire EFIC117-SS icemaker may not stay closed during the freeze cycle due to improper alignment or a mechanical issue with the lid mechanism. It is not designed to lock during operation, so movement or vibration could cause it to open slightly.
The "Add Water" indicator light may turn on even when the tank is filled if there is air in the water lines, blocked lines, or a power surge has affected the sensors. In such cases, the water tank cannot correctly detect the water level. Draining a small amount of water to remove air and restarting the unit can help resolve this.

My countertop ice maker is not working da shovel is not moving back and forward and. Water is not passing and da fan doesn't come on.

For a Frigidaire EFIC117-SS countertop ice maker with issues related to the shovel, water flow, and fan operation, follow these troubleshooting steps:
1. Unplug the unit before starting any maintenance or troubleshooting to prevent electric shock.
2. Check the shovel mechanism (ice tray movement): - If it is stuck in a loop, manually push the tray all the way back to reset it. This can temporarily restore function for several cycles. - Inspect for any obstruction or misalignment in the ice tray area.
3. Inspect water flow: - Ensure the water reservoir is filled to the correct level. - Check that the water sensor is clean and not blocked. - Make sure the drain plug is securely in place.
4. Verify fan operation: - Ensure the air outlet is not blocked. - Listen for the fan when the unit is running. If it's not working, internal components may need repair or replacement.
5. Reset the unit: - Unplug the appliance for several minutes, then plug it back in and press the On/Off button.
6. Indicator lights: - Check for warning lights (e.g., Add Water or Ice Full) and address as needed.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, internal mechanical or electrical failure may require professional repair.

Ice maker is not making ice
1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
April 16, 2025
The Frigidaire EFIC117-SS ice maker may not be making ice due to one or more of the following reasons:
1. Low Water Level: The "Add Water" light may turn on if the water level is too low. Adding water can resolve this.
2. Disconnected Plug: If there's no indication on the control panel, the power plug may be disconnected. Reconnecting it and restarting the unit may fix the issue.
3. Air or Blockage in Water Lines: If both "Ice Full" and "Add Water" lights are on, there may be air or blockages in the lines, or the water tank can't detect the water level. Draining some water and restarting the unit may help.
4. Ice Blockage: Ice blockage may prevent the ice pusher from moving. Turning off the unit, letting the ice melt, and restarting can resolve this.
5. Full Ice Basket: If the "Ice Full" light is on, the basket may need to be emptied.
In some cases, tilting the unit or allowing time may help restore function.

It makes ice but makes horrible whining/humming load noise. Seems like maybe a pump?
1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
April 13, 2025
A whining or humming noise from the Frigidaire EFIC117-SS while making ice may be caused by normal operation sounds, such as the compressor running or the pump circulating water. If the reservoir is low or dry, the pump may make noise as it struggles to circulate water. Ensure the water reservoir is filled and the unit is on a stable surface.

Machine makes whining/humming load noise. Seems to be when it’s pumping water. Does it a beginning of cycle and when it makes ice drop

The Frigidaire EFIC117-SS may make a whining or humming noise when pumping water if there is not enough water in the reservoir. When the reservoir is low, the pump can run dry or struggle to move water, causing unusual sounds. This happens because the pump continues to operate even if there is not sufficient water to complete the cycle.
