What would cause the water line to turn on off on off while filling? I too have been having trouble with the ice maker over filling.

The new ice maker should not do that, I installed one and it worked perfectly and cranked tons of ice. You do need to make sure it is plugged in properly and there is no damage to the power cable or connectors. I think I left my old cable and reconnected it to the unit and it worked fine.

I have not experienced that problem, but I do use filtered water when filling it. Try that. :)

This happens when it is over-filled. Be cautious when filling and only fill it to the indicated level, and it will return to normal. Happened to me too.

Long term I have not heard of an actual fix that works to make this refrigerator's ice maker reliable. That is why I have joined the class action suit mentioned in earlier posts. Short term this is what I did. I shut off the ice maker, defrosted the ice maker section with a blow dryer (to speed up the defrosting of the ice buildup in the back.) In my case I had ice build up in the back of the unit which caused it to malfunction. I used towels to sop up the water as it melted. This became tedious as it kept recurring. We have hardwood floors and can't baby sit the refrigerator every second so I bit the bullet and bought a new refrigerator (Samsung, which I LOVE). The Frigidaire is a horror show.

I didn't get a video or manual either. I called the company and they quickly sent me the manual, however the video wasn't available. Plug in fill using water bottle. Make sure you use distilled water. turn on using both buttons and wait till lights turn on for use. makes sure you tighten cap before turning on but not too tight. to fill water open large cap. Green light indicates it is ready to use and yellow light means it needs more water. If it ever turns off on you during use check that hoses are properly connected it happened to me once. during use if you feel there isn't enough pressure just give it a few minutes to build more pressure, you will see the needles move. The small dial to the left of the large cap for filling water is used to regulate how much steam is being used. adjust to your needs.

I usually fill it to the fill line inside the unit (about a cup of water) and run it until it shuts off. That takes about 4 hours. Unfortunately, the unit doesn't "just" shut off. It alternately shuts off and turns back on for a while before finally stopping. The repeating off/on noise is noticeable enough that it wakes me up when using it at night.

I have noticed that there is "residual" ice flakes in the seems of these after a use. Therefore, rinse them off with water to melt away the residual, wipe off the excess water. put them together and put water in it. careful not to squeeze too hard which will allow the seems to get filled up with water (causing that line or crack). allow several hours to completely freeze.

When filling the top, make sure the bottom chamber is not full. If you put more water in the top chamber when the bottom is full, you may overfill the bottom chamber. The Berkey Guy

Return it. Something is definitely wrong with it. I've had mine for several months now. It runs for hours and shuts off by itself when reservoir is empty. Yours is definitely defective.

My issue for replacing this part and my ice making unit started with an appearance of peeling inside my ice maker tray. The coating was flaking into the ice it made. Could be your taste issue. Assuming your not dealing with a bad filter cartridge. I hope this helps.

Your unit is out of water. Lift the cover, turn it over, remove the fill cap, fill the reservoir with distiller water, put the cap back in place, then put the cover back on the unit and turn it back on.

I have the same problem. Every time I turned it on, it started moving around and the pulp container came off. I had to turn it off, reassemble and clean the mess. I might have got a deceptive one.

That happens when there is to much water in bottle try and put it an inch or 2 lower than fill line bc it rises when u turn on

Mine was installed by a contractor as well, but your issue sounds like a valve problem where it is not closing completely when you turn it off. There are many reasons this could happen, the valve could be bad (warped, cracked, etc.) in which case I'm not sure how you would replace it or it may just need adjusting. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

I bought one locally and have the same problem. About a half-inch gap allows ice/mix to splash out. A bit messy! They said they'll send a new part. Hopefully, that'l help.

It did that recently so I turned it off and cleaned it out and dried it thoroughly. Then I turned it back on and ran the water through (to clean with hot water) and then put the pod in and it didn't do that again. Also make sure you have adequate water in there. I always try to fill it to the fill line.

I haven't experienced this. Is the water level getting low or have you noticed that the "Steam Ready" indicator light is off (meaning that you have used up the available steam and must wait for the unit to build up steam) ? Other than that, I can't think of a reason for the situation you describe.
