BK5057 Report post Posted June 9, 2012 I have a NAD1402 refrigerator and the ice maker will only dump 2 or 3 times a day. The freezer stays around 20 degrees and from what I have found so far is that the thermostat to turn on the heating element that comes on to release the cubes from the tray is set at 17 degrees. What can I do so it will produce more ice ? Thanks Bob BK5057 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted June 9, 2012 Bob, Welcome to the FMCA Forum. What is temperature in the refrigerator-- that is where the thermostat is located? What is outside temperature? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BK5057 Report post Posted June 10, 2012 Fridge temp stays 36 to 40 outside 85 to 90 it seems to be makeing ice but does not heat the tray in order to dump and it is a new ice maker . Do they make a thermostat for the ice tray heater that will come on around 20 degrees? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertdeals69 Report post Posted June 10, 2012 If your refrigerator temp is 36-40 the freezer should be 0-15. You might check the door seal and make sure its 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted June 10, 2012 BK5057, When you installed or had the ice maker installed did you see a inline thermister (I don't know if that is the correct name) in your wiring harness? Was it clipped on to the back of the new I/Mkr? When I install our new maker the instructions had putting the Ther. under the clip in bold letters. If I understand, that is what senses the temp to freeze and to heat for release the ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BK5057 Report post Posted June 10, 2012 I will have to pull the I/makr back out and check the wire and order a new seal this one is 4 years old seems OK but may be a little weak compared to a new one Thanks for the replies BK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
