I have two problems with my 2003 Electrolux refrigerator (model # FRS23H5ASB6). 1) We just replaced the water filter, but now the ice maker will not make ice. The lever is in the on/down position. 2) the bulb in the freezer went out. When we switched it with the bulb from the refrigerator side (which worked) it still did not turn on. thank you very much.

SOURCE: Electrolux will not make ice. the water will dispense

Is the freezer cold enough? Should be close to 10 degrees.
Is there water or ice in the ice mold? If not put water in it and see if it dumps the ice after it’s frozen. If there is ice, lift the cut off arm and let it drop to see if it will start.
If it does dump the ice but don’t refill with water.
Try swapping the wires on the dual water inlet valve. Then try the water dispenser. The water should go to the ice maker. This will tell you weather or not the ice maker valve is working and if the line is clear.

The water inlet valve on the back of unit opens when the ice maker needs water. If the valve doesn't seal good because of sediment or wear it will continue to drip and when the water reaches the ice maker supply tube it will freeze. You can take the water line off the valve and watch to see if it drips.

You have a defrost system issue! DON'T chip any more ice!! EEEKKS! You are lucky you didn't puncture the freon line! There is no repairing a punctured freon line!! We will send the correct parts to you if you will please provide your model number for this unit. Once you replace this defrost system. you will not have any more icing up issues. You must, however, defrost the unit out before you replace the defrost system. You can do this by unplugging your unit for at least a whole day and by placing a fan in front of the opened up unit to allow it to thaw out PROPERLY. BTW: I love the Electrolux Icon appliances. I hope this resolves your problem and I hope to hear back from you soon. We answer our phones from 7 Am until 9:30 PM CST.

More than likely the microswitch for the water lever has failed or broken.
You'll need to access the dual water valve on the back of the unit to determine that when you press the lever - the solonoid on the valve is getting voltage.
If it is getting the turn on voltage - the solenoid is bad and needs replacing.
If it is not getting a signal voltage - the switch is bad.
CLICK HERE for all the diagrams to your unit.
Unfortunately - most parts on this unit are unavailable. I have checked 3-4 different vendors.
This unit also uses a electronic board controller instead of individual components that can be easily replaced.
The replacement module for this unit is $376 and can be seen HERE as part #38C.
The dispenser module (#8) is not available.

Contacting the Manufacturer may be your best bet in finding replacement parts or an authorized repair center that can access the parts.

Thanks for using FixYa!

pull the ice tray out, on the bottom of the left side there's a metal rod that needs to be repositioned into the tooth gear.

Removing a water filter from the inside of your Frigidaire brand refrigerator:


Removing and replacing a water filter - upper right hand corner inside location

Filters situated up front in the refrigerator compartment of Frigidaire-built side-by-side refrigerators are relatively simple to replace. Follow these steps:

1. Open the door of the refrigerator compartment of your Frigidaire brand side-by-side refrigerator. The filter is located in the upper right hand corner. It has a push button for quick release just to the right of the filter.



2. Locate the icemaker On/Off power switch and place it in the OFF (o) position.



3. Push in on the filter release button and pull the filter all the way out to remove it. Remove new filter from its packaging and remove the protective plastic caps. Insert the new filter in the same manner it was removed. Make sure to push in firmly on the filter until you hear the filter cartridge click in place.



4. Return the icemaker's power switch to the On (l) position.



5. Condition the filter by running water through the dispenser for about three minutes. This will flush the filter of all fine carbon particles.



6. In some models, you will have to reset the filter status light. It is located on the ice and water dispenser control panel. Push in on it for ten to fifteen seconds until the green, red, and amber lights flash. If your refrigerator model does not have a filter status light, you should make a note on a calendar, or place a month sticker on your filter to remind you to replace the filter again in six month's time.
