Ice maker quit working

Hi there! If the ice maker stopped working on the Frigidaire 36 in. 29 cu. ft. Standard Depth French Door Refrigerator with Internal Water Dispenser, the following checks from the Frigidaire troubleshooting guidance may help: 1. Confirm the ice maker is turned on - Check the refrigerator’s control panel and make sure the ice maker is set to ON. - Some models have an ice maker switch near the ice maker assembly that must also be turned on. 2. Check the water supply - Make sure the water line is connected and the household water supply valve is fully open. - If the water was recently turned off, the ice maker may need time to refill and begin making ice again. 3. Allow time after turning it on - A newly activated or reset ice maker can take up to 24 hours to begin producing ice. - After the first batch, production will continue as the bin fills. 4. Check the ice bin and temperature - Make sure the ice bin is installed correctly. - The freezer should be cold enough for ice production (around 0°F is the recommended freezer temperature). 5. Reset the ice maker - Turn the ice maker off, wait a few minutes, then turn it back on. - Some models have a reset/test button on the ice maker assembly. If these steps do not restore ice production, the issue could involve the water inlet valve, ice maker assembly, filter, or control system. - Maico

Can you use the refrigerator without the option of the water and the ice? Or do I have to purchase one without which I haven’t seen?

Hello there, Bubba! Yes. According to the Frigidaire manual, you can use the refrigerator without using the water dispenser or ice maker. - The ice maker can be turned off using the Ice Maker On/Off control, so it does not have to produce ice. - The internal water dispenser is optional to use; you don't dispense water if you don't want to. - If you do not connect the refrigerator to a household water supply, the water dispenser and ice maker will not function. However, the refrigerator and freezer will still operate normally as a refrigerator. The manual notes that features requiring water need a water line connection and should not be operated without one. So you do not need to buy a different model if you don't want to use the water or ice features. You can: - Leave the water line disconnected (the refrigerator will still cool normally), or - Connect the water line, but turn the ice maker off and simply do not use the water dispenser. - Maico

It looks like the refrigerator cabinet is 68.3 inches. I have a total height of 68.5 inches. The doors will sit beyond our cabinet so I don’t have to worry about the height of the door. But do I need to be concerned about added height from the legs?

Good day, Marilee! Based on the Frigidaire specifications/manual for the Frigidaire 36" 29 cu. ft. Standard Depth French Door Refrigerator with Internal Water Dispenser (Smudge-Proof Stainless Steel): The listed cabinet height is about 68.3 inches, and your opening is 68.5 inches, so you only have about 0.2 inches (roughly 1/4") of clearance. Yes, you do need to consider the leveling legs/rollers, but in this case, the listed refrigerator height generally includes the fixed cabinet height with the leveling components in their normal range. The legs are not typically an additional height added on top of the published height. However: - The refrigerator must be leveled, and the front leveling legs may need to be extended slightly during installation. - With only 1/4" clearance, you have very little room to adjust upward. - You should verify the “minimum height” requirement in the installation guide, not just the product height, because manufacturers may require extra clearance for leveling and installation. Since your doors will extend past the cabinet, door height is not the issue. The concern is whether the refrigerator body can slide into the opening and still be leveled. With a 68.5" opening, this is a very tight fit. I would recommend confirming the actual opening height at the front and back (floors are sometimes uneven) before installation. - Maico

My ice maker is slow making ice. It’s been on for a week and not much ice made. I only have 2 items in there and don’t open it much.

Hi Andy, for your Frigidaire 36" French Door Refrigerator with internal ice maker, slow ice production during the first week is usually covered in the manual’s normal operation and troubleshooting section. What you’re describing (small amount of ice after a week, low usage, minimal door opening) typically points to setup or system conditions rather than a defect. 1. Initial ice production delay is normal - After first installation, the ice maker can take 24–72 hours to begin producing usable ice, and sometimes up to about a week to fully stabilize, depending on: - freezer temperature - water line air pockets - first-cycle calibration So a slow start in the first week is not unusual. 2. Freezer temperature must be cold enough - The ice maker will only produce properly if the freezer is at about: - 0°F / -18°C or lower If it’s slightly warmer, ice production becomes slow or inconsistent, even if the refrigerator itself feels cold. 3. Water supply issues are the most common cause - The manual typically highlights: - The water line may still contain air (very common in the first week) - The water filter may be restricting flow if new or partially clogged - The shut-off valve may not be fully open Even a small restriction = slow ice production. 4. Ice maker settings/arm position - Check: - ice maker is turned ON (not paused or “off” position) - no obstruction in the ice bin - “ice full” sensor (if equipped) is not being falsely triggered If the bin is slightly misaligned, the system may think it’s full and slow production. 5. Door and temperature stability - Even if you don’t open the door often, manuals note that: - Warm air entering during initial setup cycles can delay the first ice batch - frequent temperature fluctuations reset production timing 6. Normal production rate expectations - Even when working correctly, Frigidaire ice makers typically: - do not produce a large amount immediately - take 2–3 days to reach steady daily output So “only a little ice in a week” can still be within early normal range depending on conditions. What you should try (manual-style troubleshooting) Confirm freezer is set to 0°F / -18°C Check that the ice maker switch is ON Remove and reseat the ice bin Check that the water supply valve is fully open Replace or re-seat the water filter if recently installed Wait another 24–48 hours after confirming above (allow system to stabilize) If after 10–14 days of total operation, you still see very little ice, then Frigidaire troubleshooting typically points to: weak water pressure faulty inlet valve frozen or kinked water line ice maker module issue - Maico

How to keep this refrigerator clean. What does smudge proof means? As soon as I tough the handles it leaves finger prints

Hello Mstmj, for your Frigidaire 36" 29 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator in Smudge-Proof Stainless Steel, the manual guidance and Frigidaire care instructions generally boil down to two parts: routine cleaning and understanding what “smudge-proof” actually means. To keep the refrigerator clean, Frigidaire recommends using a soft microfiber cloth with a mild solution of warm water and a small amount of dish soap. Wipe the stainless steel in the direction of the grain (you’ll usually see faint lines running vertically). After cleaning, it’s best to dry it with a clean, dry cloth to prevent streaks or water spots. For the interior, you should remove spills promptly using a mild soap solution and avoid abrasive cleaners, ammonia, bleach, or scouring pads, since these can damage surfaces and finishes. The door handles and exterior should be cleaned regularly since they collect oils from hands quickly. “Smudge-Proof Stainless Steel” does not mean fingerprint-free. It refers to a special protective coating applied to the stainless steel surface that resists fingerprints and makes smudges easier to wipe off compared to regular stainless steel. In practice, this means: - fingerprints still happen when you touch it - but they are less visible and easier to clean - The surface is designed to reduce oily streaks rather than eliminate contact marks entirely So what you’re seeing on the handles is normal, even on smudge-proof finishes. Handles are high-contact areas, so they will always show fingerprints more than the flat doors. The difference is that they should wipe off easily without leaving permanent marks or requiring heavy scrubbing. If fingerprints are very noticeable right away, it usually helps to: - wipe once with a damp microfiber cloth - then buff dry immediately - Optionally, use a stainless steel cleaner made for coated finishes (not abrasive polish). - Maico
