Norcold icemaker fix
Hi,
We defrosted the Norcold 1200 several days ago due to frost buildup preventing the ice maker from dropping ice. After the freezer cooled down we were not making ice, (the bail was down) the water in the ice maker was frozen but not being discharged. I gave it an other day to get working, the temp in the freezer was 5 F. Still no ice.
I finally got the idea to use my wife's hair blower to warm up the ice maker thinking too much water was in the tray or the ice maker heating element was inop. After 5-10 minutes of warming the ice maker I saw the fingers start to move and hear the motor running. Shortly we had our first load of ice. What a great sound.
The ice maker works great now, I'm not sure what happened but this was an easy and most importantly CHEAP fix. I hope this helps someone down the road.
