What adjustment is needed to make the ice dispenser not snap open and shut immediately dispensing no ice...?

This refrigerator has a defective ice maker. There is a class action lawsuit in effect for it. You can probably find it on line. Frigidaire is made by Electrolux and they have very similar unit that is also in the suit.

I believe the two screws on the front of the unit are shutoff valves, try adjusting the RH one.

Sorry, I didn't experience such a problem. I just turned the top and it opened up. Perhaps running hot water around the rim of the cap might help.

Dean, It appeared to me that it was kind of a fit-all type that one side takes care of the ice-maker and the other takes care of the water dispenser. Most of the stuff that came with it to install I didn't use but I will say it was the second one (the first one lasted about two years) I've replaced. Good thing is that they're not expensive. So far with this one...so good....

The electric valve that controls water level in ice maker put too much water in the tray which made it too hard to turn the prongs that dump the ice. I replaced that valve and that cured the problem.

The unit only keeps the small opening in the center ice free, not around the outer part of the unit. Did you put in water or on top of ice? It will not melt ice, in fact once the temperature gets to about 5 degrees for any length of time, the hole will freeze up.

It's done the old fashioned way. Fill ice cube trays (the kind available anywhere) turn the unit down to the colder temperature setting and close the lid.

This is part of the issue I have had from the beginning. Try turning the knob situated above the handle. It locks the unit in place if you have it seated properly. I hope that helps...

Let the pressure down according to the recipe, either letting it sit or running a drizzle of cold water on the still sealed lid. I carefully test the 'jiggler' to see if ALL the pressure is out. When it is, just twist the top handle and carefully remove it.

I never had that problem. Might need to send back or try to bend the fastener to a slightly less round. Mine holds well shut until pulled open. Good luck.

I bought the ice maker it makes ice like it should but the problem is it will not stop making ice I have to turn water off to stop it from over flowing

No, E.Wang You just have to unscrew it. But it was very cold and did it's job. What I didn't know is that your suppose to add fresh ice cream in this holder. What I did was place my unopened Ben & Jerry 's pint inside, from the grocery store to keep it cold until I came home. If you do have trouble I would use 2 flat rubber jar opener, one on the top one on the bottom and unscrew the lid. That would work. I hope this helps E.Wang

Had the trickle problem as well however it was intermittent. On our dispenser the handle can be rotated when it is in the down position. This rotation was slowly causing the nut that began flush against the dispenser base to slowly unscrew and prevent the handle from moving to the complete down position. We used pliers to screw it back down and it helped.

You need to "prep" the insert by pinching it open a few times. I also needed to make the slit bigger by carefully slicing it with a knife. I still can't tighten down the cap or it won't flow at ALL. I either have to leave the insert out or I keep the cap loosened, which my daughter can open if she is interested. I personally didn't like these sip caps, I know some have had success, but for me... I wouldn't buy again.

I haven't had that issue at all. I always empty the rest of the ice out of the chamber. Sorry I can't be of more help. I also use mine almost every day.

Try unscrewing the adjustment entirely...the should be a rubber seal inside in addition to a little plastic ring. See if either of those are mangled and messing with the adjustment.

I have never had that happen to mine, perhaps it is defective. I usually take a plastic bag and put the tray inside then bang it in the counter to loosen the ice and they pop right out.
