Understanding the Problem
This guide covers the OEM ice maker assembly used in Frigidaire FPS S2677RF1 refrigerators — what it does, common failures, how to diagnose the problem, and how to replace it. The ice maker assembly (mold, motor/ejector, fill valve interface and control module) makes, harvests and dispenses ice. If your fridge makes no ice, only small pellets, overfills, or leaks, the ice maker assembly or the water inlet system is frequently the cause. 1. Confirm the problem and gather basic info - Verify model/serial (inside fresh food compartment) before ordering parts. Make sure the unit is plugged in and temperature in the freezer is 0°F to 5°F (-18°C to -15°C) — too warm and the maker won’t cycle. - Symptoms to observe: no ice, no fill, won’t eject, constant water dripping, small/slow production. 2. Preliminary checks (fast, non‑invasive) - Run the ice maker test cycle: locate the test/reset button on the ice maker module (or refer to owner’s manual). Press & hold for 3–5 seconds — you should hear the motor run and/or water fill. If motor runs and no water, suspect water supply/valve. If no motor action, suspect ice maker or power to it. - Check freezer temperature and clear any ice bridge in the mold. - Inspect the fill tube behind the ice maker for ice blockage. If frozen, defrost tube with warm (not boiling) water or hair dryer on low. 3. Check water supply and valve - Ensure the water line to the refrigerator is turned on and supplying normal household water pressure. - Observe the inlet valve during a fill attempt (run test cycle). If the valve doesn’t click or allow water, the valve may be bad or there may be no voltage to it. 4. Electrical checks (basic multimeter use recommended) - With the fridge powered, backprobe the ice maker harness while initiating a test to confirm the ice maker receives power/signal. If no signal at the harness but the ice maker has power, the control board or harness may be at fault. - Check continuity of the ice maker motor and heater circuits (use service sheet or meter). No continuity on motor/heater typically means replace the ice maker assembly. 5. Decide repair vs replace - If motor doesn’t run or harvest heater is open, replace the whole ice maker assembly (most practical). If motor runs but no water, replace inlet valve. If the mold heater is working but ice won’t eject, the assembly should be replaced. 6. Replacement steps (how to replace the OEM ice maker) Tools required: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver (usually 1/4" or 5/16"), needle-nose pliers, multimeter (optional), towel. a. Turn off the refrigerator power (unplug or turn off breaker) and shut off the water supply to the fridge. b. Empty the freezer section enough to access the ice maker. Remove any ice bin and the freezer shelf if it blocks access. c. Locate and remove the screws securing the ice maker to the freezer wall (usually 2–3 screws). Support the unit while removing the last screw. d. Slide the ice maker forward slightly and disconnect the wiring harness by pressing the locking tab and pulling apart. Note orientation for re-install. e. Remove the ice maker assembly from the compartment. f. Transfer any required mounting brackets from old to new unit (if needed). g. Connect the wiring harness to the new OEM ice maker and position it onto its mounting points. Secure with screws. h. Restore water supply and power. Run the ice maker test/reset or let it complete a cycle. Expect first fill cycle to take a few minutes; allow 2–4 hours for initial ice production and up to 24 hours for full bin. i. Check for proper fill, no leaks, and ejector operation. If leaks occur, recheck water line connections and inlet valve. Safety note: Always disconnect power before working on electrical components. If you are not comfortable with electrical tests or cutting/draining the water line, hire a qualified technician. Verify part compatibility using your refrigerator model and serial number before ordering an OEM replacement.
Common Symptoms
No ice production, ice maker motor not running, ice mold not filling, continuous dripping or overfilling, cubes not ejecting or misshapen ice.
Common Causes
- Failed ice maker assembly (motor, harvest thermostat or control module)
- Clogged or frozen ice maker fill tube
- Faulty water inlet valve or lack of water supply
- Poor freezer temperature (too warm) preventing ice production
- Damaged wiring/harness or control board signal issue

Helpful Repair Tip
Use the ice maker's test/reset button: if the motor runs during the test but no water fills, the ice maker is likely fine and the water inlet valve or water supply is the issue; if nothing runs, the ice maker assembly itself is usually the culprit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if I need the ice maker assembly or just the water inlet valve?
Run the ice maker test/reset. If the ice maker motor cycles and you hear/see the ejector moving but no water fills the mold, the water inlet valve or water supply is at fault. If the motor doesn't run and there's no action when you force a test, the ice maker assembly (motor/thermostat/module) is likely bad and should be replaced.
Can I replace the Frigidaire ice maker myself and how long will it take?
Yes — replacing the ice maker on most Frigidaire models is a straightforward DIY job if you can remove a couple of screws and disconnect a plug. Allow 30–60 minutes for the physical replacement. Allow additional time to confirm water connections and initial ice production (a few hours to 24 hours). Turn off power and water before starting; if you’re uncomfortable with electrical checks or water line work, call a pro.
