The unit is the built-in ice-through-the-door unit in a GE side by
side . The problem is ice chunks from water seeping in OR the ice mold overfilling . The big hunks break the plastic auger and make ice delivery unreliable . I replaced that water valve unit a year or so back and the problem existed before that - the auger was already broken . So I'm thinking that the ice mold is overfilling , not by much but just maybe a few drops per cycle . Oh OK , easy fix he thinks , but NO ! I can't find any means to adjust the fill amount like the older units had . Just pop the cover off and twist a screw , but this one is made different . Refr model is GSH25SGRE SS , icemaker unit WRX30X10093 -- Snag In 1775, the British demanded we give them our guns. We shot them. |

Then you'd think they would need a pressure regulator so that a unit on a line with 30 PSI doesn't get too little and a line with 70 PSI gets too much. Do they have such a thing? |

I have no idea how they do it. However if you have a certain size hole or pipe it reaches a point where no matter how much the pressure goes up the flow will not. They may use a system similar to that. Or they have a simple pressure regulator ahead of the dispenser. |

I can't say about any other brand but Whirlpool (Kenmore, Amana etc) simply use time. There is a contact in the head (the brown plastic end) It makes as the timer gear goes through the harvest, refill cycle. There is a screw sticking out that moves the contact to change the closed time. Part of the initial setup is to adjust it for your water pressure. There is no pressure regulator, just a solenoid valve. |
