kingmz :

Hello my name is XXXXXX, XXXX you press for cubed do you hear a loud clicking noise?

Customer :

no

kingmz :

Pull out the ice bucket and you will see where the metal part of the ice bucket connects into. Move that up and down, it may be stuck.

Customer :

does not seem to be stuck and stiil crushes

kingmz :

It appears that solenoid is bad. Could you read me the model number from your unit, it will be on a sticker with the serial number in the fresh food section on the top left or right side.

Customer :

PLHS68EESB

kingmz :

Is there a number after the B?

Customer :

i will look

Customer :

0

kingmz :

Hmm, I see 7 matches but there are numbers 1 2 5 6 8 9 A after that.

Customer :

i will look again

Customer :

the full number on the frig is PLHS68EESB0

kingmz :

Ok I can show you how to test it, do you have a volt meter?

Customer :

no

Customer :

i have a friend with one

kingmz :

It's a good indication that solenoid is bad if crushed works. The solenoid controls the cubed aspect of your ice system.

Customer :

that helps, i think i can take it from here, i appreciate the help

kingmz :

THat is not 100% unless you get a meter but if you are satisfied please accept my answer. ALso, I would order from a site such as repair clinic becuase you can return the item even if you install it.

Customer :

thanks
