I cannot even right now. The fact you can INCREASE the ice production. This fridge came brand new with our house and we couldn’t figure out why a 5k dollar fridge was making so little ice. You are Da Man
My jaw dropped when I was able to fix my ice maker after following your instructions. Life hack. How in the world are we supposed to know where these codes are hidden? I was ready to call repair guy and 2min of following your hack and waiting over night, my ice maker is working like a charm. Also, knowing I can set it to make more ice when the kids and their partners come for the weekend....life changing! Thank you so much!!
Let me tell you my jaw dropped when I saw the option to change ice amount. And you saved me, I just did this 15mins ago and just heard ice drop in the tray. Thank you 🙌
Thank you so much - I followed this and got ice again! The first time I did it, I only waited an hour or two before starting the ice maker again. The second time, I let it go overnight. I turned the ice maker on in the morning and by night I had my first bit of ice starting again! By the next day it was half full again If you do this, don't worry about the temperature going up, the stuff in your fridge is fine Thanks!!
Ahhhhh, OK, I was worried about the last part of your comment! The light and fridge is completely off when you activate this setting. I saw the light in the fridge was off and I heard the cooling of the fridge turn off too.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! We have this exact model. For some reason, this summer, it has frozen up every few days. I've been using the hair dryer method, but we don't even get half a bucket of ice before it is frozen again. I'm doing this method right now, and I see the temperature rising quickly as I'm typing this. Again, THANK YOU! I would like the video 20 times if I could lol **update** still working ❤❤❤
You sir are doing Gods work! I can’t thank you enough seriously. I have watched countless videos, read so many blogs and even had a repairman come out (twice)yet your tutorial is the only one that has actually worked 🙌🏼 My Frigidaire is a similar model as yours and it’s so frustrating 🤦🏻♀️ having this hack has been such a lifesaver! Thanks again!
Let there be ice! I remember having a trouble with my ice maker 2 or 3 years ago and disassembling the whole thing to defrost the fill tube. Can't believe my issue this time could be resolved in a few minutes with some button presses, thanks so much!
My fridgedair gallery, like others, showed "CL 26" with no temp like others commented (model FGHF2366PFBA). It looks like the process worked anyway after a few attempts and I have ice again (next day). In ~10 minutes the control panel will reset to normal. I went through the steps again to make sure I didn't miss something. On the 3rd or 4th run through I got "OP 26". I didn't time it, but each cycle appeared to take less time. See Kyle Wood's comment in the replies. CL appears to mean "closed" and OP appears to mean "open". I'm guessing the transition from closed to open means the process worked. I left the icemaker off overnight and hit the defrost cycle a couple of times for good measure (hold + and - buttons together for 5 sec). My fridge has a "quick freeze" setting and not the water+crush bar thing. Many thanks to Da MAN for posting this nugget. Fully agree that this is a fridge series to avoid. The only downside with this easy fix is that I'm not forced to replace this thing.
I don't think a cold fridge at normal operating temp should ever say OP (Open). Normal operation is for it to be on CL (closed). It may show (OP) if you had the fridge off for a long while and caused it to defrost, but under normal operating conditions, it should go back to CL.
Thank you for the comment. Half the lights are out in my display so it was hard to tell which option I was on, and the one I thought was 26 showing CL instead of a temp had me confused. Mine also did the thing where it switched to OP after doing it ~3 times. Then I did it one more time and it switched back to CL, now a day later my ice maker is half full again. Thanks!
I can't thank you enough!! You saved us time and money. After walking through your steps yesterday, I have ice this morning! Thank you for sharing your knowledge to help others!
Wow, when I saw how you reset the ice production.... We used to keep bags of ice on hand (IKR just like everyone else) Hopefully my icemaker will thaw out and production will ramp up. Awesome video, perfect content, perfect length, clear instruction. Truly you Da Man!
Thank you so much! This fridge was gifted to us and it’s been awful. We should have kept our old fridge. It was working fine just old and not pretty. Lesson learned.
THIS IS THE VIDEO TO WATCH great tip save time and money don't have to disassemble and defrost. Find option 26 in the menu and let the refrigerator thaw it's self!
Ahhh lifesaver. Our ice maker has been out for WEEKS. My husband sent me your video yesterday and we woke up to a full ice bin this morning. Thank you!
you are a Genius!!!!! my ice maker was running so slow that we would buy bags of ice. . . i pressed the water and the crushed ice and the bar was set to one. . . hopefully this will work!
OMG! THANK YOU! I had no idea you could increase the ice production! I was so confused why it wasn't making ice!!!! I thought it was about to die on us. Thank you (Video 2:40, to increase ice production)
You are Da Man! I had the same problem and this fixed it. I had to repeat the process several times over the course of a day or two. I left the ice make off for over 24 hours. Now I have ice! Thanks man!
THANK YOU!!!! I had a repairman here and he charged me 75 bucks to hit the reset button which didn't help...go figure. Then he quoted me $240 to swap out 2 parts (valve and icemaker) which i ordered for half that and TH-camd how to do on my own. When i was taking it all apart I saw the ice in the back but didn't realize that was the problem until the replacement parts didn't do anything to help with the situation. Now that I've come across your video I'm praying this is the solution!!! And yes, the refrigerator is the worst!!!
I have a Frigidaire professional side by side that has the dreaded CE error and can’t be fixed because the control board is no longer made for it. It has served us so well that I want another fridge from their professional line. I have had this fridge for years and had very few problems with it and nothing that I couldn’t fix myself. Considering the racket on new appliances and companies that just don’t care about customer satisfaction because they don’t have to, I believe that a brand that has served us so well for so long deserves a second round. I hope your new refrigerators are as good as your previous models. I so want to be a customer for life.
I have the same model, same problem. This fixed the problem. I do this every couple months. I run that cycle that he shows 5 or 6 times in a row to defrost. Might be a little overkill but it keeps the ice maker running longer I think
I had to do it a couple of times but it worked. Stopped making ice last evening and I decided to go through this again and I found the temp in menu 26 to be 65* F.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Like another reviewer said leaving it off for a couple hours did not do the trick. But when I shut it off for EIGHT hours and then turned the ice maker back on it worked! I now have ice cubes again! You are the man!!! Well…..I THOUGHT it fixed it and it did start making ice again but after a few hours it stopped making ice. I have since gone through this procedure many times and same thing over and over again. Any more ideas? 😕
Thanks man. Good video. So my prb started with left door not closing properly. Upon inspection I saw the ice building behind and now doing the defrost. Ice maker wasn't even on due to winter.
I have a year old frigidaire fg4h2272uf. The Ice maker stopped working. I put a Hair Dryer inside where the Ice bucket was and let it blow on high for several minutes. It worked and now it makes ice.
Fantastic video / tips, thanks so much for posting. I have the exact model that you do and this fixed my issue! I was dreading having to fully disassemble the ice maker unit and use the blow-dry method. Question for you: how frequently have you had to do this "force defrost heater" method? In other words, does it last weeks / months / longer between needing this done? Wasn't sure how recently you started doing this method to "fix" the ice maker when it stops working. Just trying to gauge how long I can expect this to last, or if I should do this fix pre-emptively every few months? Do you think it would be bad to run the heater fix if there's ice in the tray? Thanks again and sorry for all the questions, but your video is much appreciated!
its a pain in the ass i have to do mine every other week or as often as needed because the icemaker freezes up all the time!!!!!! it runs out of ice then i defrost and wait!!!! i am pist off with this fridge
Thank you! So good to know! I have a problem… so I tried taking the ice maker apart to fix the motor or see why it’s not rotating anymore. Now I don’t know how to put it back together. 😢😢😢 Help please!
You can force a defrost without going through the test menus. Just hold the '+' and '-' buttons for 10 seconds. But in most cases that won't fix a frozen fill tube.
hi there! thank you for this video. i tried another youtube video, disassembled the whole ice maker to defrost and yes it did work but it was a pain. i tried your method and i would say 1/4 of the tray became filled with ice. so it did work, but did not fill the ice try. i am going to try it again and leave the ice maker off overnight (vs 1-2 hours only). one thing i did notice was that my fridge says "CL 26" where as yours showed numbers blinking/rising and 26. do you know what this means? or if there is anything i can do differently? thank you for the tips, appreciate your time!
Our model is a bit different, we have a lower ice maker also, have just been using it since we "ran out of ice".. been meaning to look up a probable cause and solution.. Just set it to mode "26", will update if it starts making ice again.. UPDATE.. the next morning.. there is ice in the tray!! I think I will run this defrost cycle monthly..
What if your display is only partially visible(lights out?) is the list you scan through the same with all gallery models? I counted you pressed 24 times but I can’t tell if that’s what I landed on 😔
I have the notorious Problematic Frigidaire FFHB2750TS Rev 9 that's only 3 years old and gently used by myself only. I had the typical Ice-maker air leak problem so carefully took everything apart and improved on the already poorly factory installed band aid that makes sure the defrosted moisture drains good and all air gaps sealed. The factory has the defrost timer setting to run at about 12 hour intervals and I have verified water flow out of both tubes at the bottom during the cycles. There is no ice build up in any of the coils locations but 3-5 minutes into every defrost cycle you get LOUD Shotgun blast K-Pows from several areas of the unit. These are much more violent than just plastic/metal expansion noise. Any ideas as what it is? Is Everything made in Mexico and China is JUNK Nowadays???
I just finished the steps and I’m off to bed. Let’s see if there is ice in the morning! I did notice that when I went to 26. The temp was 37°. After the ten minutes or whatever time it was I checked again and it said it was 12° so maybe it worked. Will hope that I got some ice in the morning. Also was cool that I got to increase ice production.
Awesome video. I noticed I started having problems at first after the ice bin filled up. I am assuming when I turned off the ice maker the old ice in the ice tray never got dispensed. I believe this due to the fact that I found the ice tray to have frozen water in it and little to no ice production. Lucky me, the ice was falling sideways and not towards the rear motor as some people have had happen to them. I just defrosted the tray with a hair blower and tried to drain water with a napkin. I hope it works properly now. If not ill use your code techniques ! Awesome video!
My refrigerator was leaking for sometime due to the door gasket. But, my wife did not want me to replace a new door gasket. So, the fridge was kept leaking. About two weeks ago, we could not take some frozen meats out, and then I had to dump lots of water to defrost it. Now the leaking was stop now. By the way, we have not been used ice maker for years.

Thank you for this video! My husband hates our fridge. It was already in the house when we bought in 2019. I (mistakenly) thought at least it's new so we shouldn't have any trouble. Because it was already here, we didn't get an owner's manual or anything and have learned some of the menu by trial and error. Can you tell me if there is a printed comand tree anywhere so that we can know some of these functions?
I just learned to please and hold the + and - buttons until it goes into a natural defrost, with codes d/f showing on the screen. Leave as is and it will do it's thing then go back to normal mode.
Thank you! We already had the ice maker replaced and it still stops making ice on and off. Is this a “fix” you still have to do every so often? I wish there was a permanent fix!
I could have sworn the first time my fridge did this, I left the comment thanking you, but apparently I didn't cause I don't see it here. I'm going to leave this comment now because this is the second time I've had to do this and this time it's not because it's frozen it's because it froze over itself so it froze the tray half way of emptying it and it kind of just spilled a bunch of water all over it so we had our refrigerator like peeing all over the floor we didn't know what was wrong with out the fridge broke because of course it's a Frigidaire why wouldn't a break but found out it was the ice maker it was frozen completely all the lines again play different this time but still the same outcome so again I thank you for saving me from this nightmare that is for a dare this was an emergency purchase because our other refrigerator died and we are stuck with this one as an emergency soon as we can we're getting rid of it but I thank you with my whole ass heart for this video
I agree with you on this models been a piece of shit my ice stops working all the time I just let it sit there forever and it’s been a pain in the butt I’m gonna try this and see how it works
I like the vid.. learned me a lot but now my fridge quit making ice cubes and the cooling part is to low.. I don't have a code 26 at all when I followed your steps.. Can you help me out? Thanks!
My fridge is exactly like this, it just stopped making ice, I followed the instructions you gave, after about 10 minutes of the temp going up and flashing, it beeped then reset itself. Is this right? Or should I go through the steps again. Or just leave it alone for a couple hours now with the ice maker still off? Also I had no clue I could change the amt of ice it could make! It was set on one bar!
Thank you. My ice maker is working again. And the ice is thicker. And it's quiet. It was starting to get loud when dropping the ice and filling the tray. Now I don't hear it anymore. Thank you thank you! You are da man 😁
I defrosted our ice maker with a hairdryer. Then, I saw this video....ugh! I am having problems putting the ice maker back together. I have the guides of the ice tray aligned with the four bolts, but the tray will not slide. Any suggestions? I wish i have seen the video earlier.
You left ice maker ON, I thought you were to turn it off. My unit when in the OFF mode I get CL when in the 26 mode.. I f I leave it ON like you did and get to the 26 the display shows CL. In both case I do not see the temperature climb. any ideas for me
I cannot even right now. The fact you can INCREASE the ice production. This fridge came brand new with our house and we couldn’t figure out why a 5k dollar fridge was making so little ice. You are Da Man
Read.... Tha.... Manual.... 😂
@@PhantomPanic That's not in the manual Manuel!
That doesn’t increase the ice production, it increases the amount of fill in the ice tray making the cubes bigger… it can over flow.

Worked great! I appreciate your time and knowledge, saved me a service call.
We have this identical fridge and fortunately the only ice maker issue we've had is the cubes backing up in the chute.Thanks for the video
this was very helpful and worked for me. We are in a rental and did not know what to do. You tube for the win. Thankyou sooooo much.
Thanks very, very much. I just followed your instructions and we'll see if this way fix the problem on this NEW fridge. Thanks again. Blessings!!!
Thanks for the video! I’ve searched for hours & you’re the only one that has posted issues like this. I will try & hope it works!
Did it work for you?
Dude. DUDE! DUUYUUYDE! You are a Rockstar! You saved me. We NEVER have enough. Thank you for this. Where on earth are these hold instructions from?

I'm going to try this as well. Thanks
Thank you! Trying this now, but it's absolute BS that this fridge has this issue.
Best video on TH-cam. Thank you!
I had to do it a couple of times but it worked. Stopped making ice last evening and I decided to go through this again and I found the temp in menu 26 to be 65* F.
This worked perfectly!! Ice is dropping as we speak. Great advice
Thanks so much for posting this. I don't know why they wouldn't include this as at least a troubleshooting tip in the manual.
Is in the troubleshooting diagram by the main control board
Because they make money from your service call.

When I put mine into mode 26 to defrost it has “CL” code vs temperature reading? Thanks in advance!
Have the same fridge no issues yet with ice maker but appreciate the video!
Thank you for posting didn't know about increasing ice. We had ours for 3 years and it just now had an ice making issue otherwise all around enjoy it.
Helpful video thank you. My option for 26 says CL. How do I change this?
Had the appliances left on my new home and this fridge is one. Mine has stopped making ice a few days ago
Thanks for suggestion. I found the increasing ice option and it worked!

Hello I am having the same problem. Any idea on how to fix?
Same problem, went to code 26 but it has a solid “Cl” displayed.
Same for me, older model so I wonder if 26 is the right code for this?
Interesting, thanks for the tips. you are spot on. these things are garbage.
bro saved me so much headache he knows more about the fridge than the guys who designed the crappy ice machine
thank you, the video was very helpful. you should do a video on how to make that dessert too.

Very helpful except my code 26 has CL to the left of it with no temp. The model is Gallery FGHB2866. Could it be a different code?
Mine too! Mine is actually a kenmore. I have had repair out at least five times in about as many years, three times in the last two years.

I believe this due to the fact that I found the ice tray to have frozen water in it and little to no ice production. Lucky me, the ice was falling sideways and not towards the rear motor as some people have had happen to them. I just defrosted the tray with a hair blower and tried to drain water with a napkin. I hope it works properly now. If not ill use your code techniques ! Awesome video!
You're a life saver!!! Thank you!
Works for awhile so I just keep doing it thanks
Great video! You solved my ice maker problem!
My model doesn't show a parameter 26 in the diagnostic menu. Could it be under another code?
very helpful,saved me atleast $300 from a rep;air dude
My refrigerator was leaking for sometime due to the door gasket. But, my wife did not want me to replace a new door gasket. So, the fridge was kept leaking. About two weeks ago, we could not take some frozen meats out, and then I had to dump lots of water to defrost it. Now the leaking was stop now. By the way, we have not been used ice maker for years.
I had no clue I could increase the ice production like this!!
Saved the vacation home on frequency of ice button. I drink a cold bourbon in your honor sir!
What if your display is only partially visible(lights out?) is the list you scan through the same with all gallery models? I counted you pressed 24 times but I can’t tell if that’s what I landed on 😔
Great video. Mine is not showing the 26 option. Does it vary from model to model?
Same here
Thank you!!! Wish seen this before after $450 later call repair guy well now I know great video very helpful :-)
Thank you very much I will try it I really appreciate it
I have the same model but no code 26.
Thank you for this video! My husband hates our fridge. It was already in the house when we bought in 2019. I (mistakenly) thought at least it's new so we shouldn't have any trouble. Because it was already here, we didn't get an owner's manual or anything and have learned some of the menu by trial and error. Can you tell me if there is a printed comand tree anywhere so that we can know some of these functions?
It’s located on the bottom right hand side of the Fridge behind the grill
Bottom front right hand side
I just learned to please and hold the + and - buttons until it goes into a natural defrost, with codes d/f showing on the screen. Leave as is and it will do it's thing then go back to normal mode.
Love the intro! Thks.
Thank you for this!!!
Thank you so much for this video 😊
I followed the procedure when pushing the + to 26 on the left side is the letters CL please advise.
Do you know what the other number options in this menu setting do?
Thank you! We already had the ice maker replaced and it still stops making ice on and off. Is this a “fix” you still have to do every so often? I wish there was a permanent fix!
Thanks for posting this, giving it a try. Hopefully don't need to dismantle the whole icemaker!
I could have sworn the first time my fridge did this, I left the comment thanking you, but apparently I didn't cause I don't see it here. I'm going to leave this comment now because this is the second time I've had to do this and this time it's not because it's frozen it's because it froze over itself so it froze the tray half way of emptying it and it kind of just spilled a bunch of water all over it so we had our refrigerator like peeing all over the floor we didn't know what was wrong with out the fridge broke because of course it's a Frigidaire why wouldn't a break but found out it was the ice maker it was frozen completely all the lines again play different this time but still the same outcome so again I thank you for saving me from this nightmare that is for a dare this was an emergency purchase because our other refrigerator died and we are stuck with this one as an emergency soon as we can we're getting rid of it but I thank you with my whole ass heart for this video
I agree with you on this models been a piece of shit my ice stops working all the time I just let it sit there forever and it’s been a pain in the butt I’m gonna try this and see how it works
I like the vid.. learned me a lot but now my fridge quit making ice cubes and the cooling part is to low.. I don't have a code 26 at all when I followed your steps.. Can you help me out? Thanks!
I have this fridge. Any ideas on why the fridge would not cool past 50 degrees?
My fridge is exactly like this, it just stopped making ice, I followed the instructions you gave, after about 10 minutes of the temp going up and flashing, it beeped then reset itself. Is this right? Or should I go through the steps again. Or just leave it alone for a couple hours now with the ice maker still off? Also I had no clue I could change the amt of ice it could make! It was set on one bar!
Yes, it resets when done. I would run the code again just to make sure it melts everything.
Thank you. My ice maker is working again. And the ice is thicker. And it's quiet. It was starting to get loud when dropping the ice and filling the tray. Now I don't hear it anymore. Thank you thank you! You are da man 😁
Trying it now! Wish us luck!
Try it few times and also keep the ice maker off for few hours to make sure that the water line is not frozen.
Still not working.. how many hours do I need to leave it off?
Run the process three times and leave it off for 24 hours.
@@manof1997 got it.
Thanks for this video. My question is what do you mean by CL 26?
CL stands for close
My unit shows CL and just reset back by itself, do I need to redo the code again? Thanks!
is their a code for turning the water on for the ice maker
Perfect video. Thank you
I defrosted our ice maker with a hairdryer. Then, I saw this video....ugh! I am having problems putting the ice maker back together. I have the guides of the ice tray aligned with the four bolts, but the tray will not slide. Any suggestions? I wish i have seen the video earlier.
How do we get a list of codes and what they do?
You left ice maker ON, I thought you were to turn it off. My unit when in the OFF mode I get CL when in the 26 mode.. I f I leave it ON like you did and get to the 26 the display shows CL. In both case I do not see the temperature climb. any ideas for me
Having the same issue, I dont get a temp, I get CL instead
Tell us more about this lawsuit. I have a Frigidaire model as well.
