RedToryTy Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 To the Dojo,I've got this fridge with this valve (http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Water-Inlet-Valve/241734301/1259226?modelNumber=FSC23R5DSBC); fresh water and ice maker are getting 120VAC, but the filter solenoid gets only 80VAC. This valve setup has diodes in the dispenser wiring, and this is my first encounter with them. Have any guys out there had experience with this problem? Do I clip out the water filter section of the wiring harness and replace it with new; I haven't seen a hank of replacement wiring at RepairClinic or SearsPartsDirect, so how does we solve this problem?Domos in advance,RedToryTy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegUS_PatOff Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 ... but the filter solenoid gets only 80VAC. This valve setup has diodes in the dispenser wiring,that's about right ... the Diodes change the voltage to pulsing DC .. it's hard to accurately read that voltageWhat's the problem with the Water dispensing ?

RedToryTy Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 80VAC at water filter solenoid = no water dispensed either through the door or at the icemaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegUS_PatOff Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 probably bad Valve ...Did you test it's OHMs ?should be 500 OHJMs to 1500 OHMsYou could also try removing the IceMaker Valve connector (Blue & Yellow ?)and place it on the Main Water Valve (Blue and Tan/Yellow ?)Then try the Water Dispenserclick on picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
