The ice maker stopped working after about 12 months, now it constantly makes a clicking noise every 1-3 seconds. Any ideas?

It needs to be replaced - about $100 if you're handy and don't call for outside repair. Everything is modular and just a couple screws. Takes about 30 minutes or less. Good luck.

Ours quit in the ice and sub-zero weather mid-winter. I let Amazon know and they sent a new one immediately, billing it to my account, then when the broken one was returned, they credited a full refund.

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.

I have had mine break and the unit needed a new gear box. Often, ice cream base gets caught in the gears and crystallizes. I took it to a repair shop that works on restaurant equipment and they replaced it for me. The machine has been running for 10+ years.

It started out reasonably quiet but after a month or so it started making new noises on an almost weekly basis. I caught myself turning the TV up one night because the cooler kicked in! I had enough of the noises and had a friend take it apart and fix it. Now 10 months after I bought it, it seems that it can no longer keep the water cold! I really wouldn't recommend this unit, although don't expect to receive the model pictured the 900184, you might get the 900134 which does look quite similar but not what is in the picture. This has been noted before. Makes you wonder about the mixed reviews, who's getting what?! Whatever you decide, good luck on your roll of the dice...

I have two units; one for heat and one for the AC. Only the one for the AC clicks on and off. The manufacturer offered to replace it, but then said that 50% of them make that noise. Of course, the AC hasn't been on in months (I live in PA), but I actually think that either it stopped the clicking, or I got used to it and totally ignored it. I actually had two Honeywells for years that were totally quite, but they became inaccurate and shut the heat and AC on and off, and that noise was louder than the clicking. Ya can't always get what you want.

Try winding it until it clicks only a few times like once or twice, if that doesn't work you can get a new one or take it apart and see if you can fix it

There's probably something that fell from the freezer drawer to the back, and that's preventing the drawer drawer from closing. Also the ice maker has an arm (wire) that gets stuck, just manually push it down. (this is a good dorm room refrigerator, nothing else though)

It's probably broken. Mine did the same after 18 months, the defrost cycle ceases to work and the unit just ices up. It stopped making headway against the humidity, the water in the bucket is basically the ice melting a little. I threw mine away. It was a nice dehumidifier while it lasted. Too bad it's not built well.

I don't know---we just had huge amounts of ice form in back and called the service dept that wants to charge us a lot of $$ to come and look at it. $89 just to come out and then minimum of $100 to start repair. Our unit is only 1.3 years old.

I have not heard any clicking sounds when turning the knobs and have not heard/seen a timer. Maybe it is in a newer version. Good luck!

Mine makes sort of a click noise but that is it. Mine is several years old though so guess they could of changed it. Very reliable little fan though!

May need to change filter. I have this piece of crap fridge. Ice maker quit working right after warranty expired. Ice maker is a well known problem to Frigidaire and they will not do anything. Better of buying cheap brand with old type ice maker.

Same here. Purchased (for $180) in 2009. It's been in storage for 2 years. Used it to make soup today. It worked fine at first. Then we heard a loud clicking noise coming from the kitchen. The display was flashing and it wouldn't respond to any buttons. Unplugged/replugged with same result. It's not been used more than 10 times at most. Someone posted a video on YouTube of this device with this problem. Lots of commenters with same issue.

We are at two years and counting and it still works good. I have not heard of it having a limited life. I have some blue ice packs that are ten years old and still freezing. Maybe the one you had was faulty and not typical.

I also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly!I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before.If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.
