If your fridge has stopped making or dispensing ice, you may need to replace the ice maker assembly. Regular wear and tear can cause this part to fail over time, especially if used frequently. To replace this genuine OEM part, you will need a quarter inch nut driver and a small flat blade screwdriver. Disconnecting the water supply and power to the refrigerator should not be necessary, but you will want to turn off the ice maker before beginning this repair. Be careful when removing the old ice maker, as you will need to reuse the base assembly, or casing, on the new ice maker.

Ordered new ice maker (Part #2198597. Installed as per video. Optics are now blinking, after pressing the emitter flapper door. Started blinking when changing out I/M - could electric connector not be pushed all the way in? Optics were fine prior to replacing ice maker.
For model number GF6NFEXTY00
Hi Debi,
Thank you for your question. Recheck the connections to make sure that the wires are fitted correctly and that they are plugged in to correct locations. If the connections are fine, check the emitter boards for signs of damage, wear, scorching, and burn marks. If they show any of these signs, they will need to be replaced. If the boards are fine, you may have received a defective ice maker and you will need to replace it. We hope this helps!
Does this model require a metal rod to start and stop to dispense ice?

Well Made Ice-Maker
Received before expected due date. The coating appears much better than my previous ice maker - the coating flaked off and found in ice. Concerned about chemical content, so ordered this one. Not the cheapest, but perhaps the ole saying "get what you pay for" means something. Installed like the videos portrayed. Began making ice almost immediately and has been dolling out the ice since connected. Very pleased thus far.
