Samsung Refrigerator Model RH29H8000SR - Ice maker shoot motor/door cycling


Recommended Posts

Posted

The motor and flap/door that the ice comes out/down the shoot keeps running when I open the freezer door and even when the freezer door is closed. There is some kind of short in the wiring or something....it used to only cycle on its own when I opened the freezer door and when I shut the freezer door, it stopped. But now it is at a point where it keeps cycling no matter if freezer door is open or shut. So, I had to disconnect a wiring housing near the top left of freezer door (under a plastic cover on outside of freezer door at top- there are a few wiring housings and I was able to figure out which housing turned off power to door shoot assembly). But this also then caused my freezer door display to turn off and also the light on the inside of the fridge side.  I think though power and cooling is still operational as it sounds like fridge and freezer is still running- I just can't tell what the temp is any longer as the display is out now.  I don't care about getting ice maker to work or anything (it hasn't worked in a  long time) I just want to make sure the ice maker motor stays off and stops cycling and hoping I could maybe plug that wiring housing back in and snip only the wire(s) that control that unit so that the rest of the wires still function and my freezer door display would then work again and the inside light on fridge side. But will this work and which wire to snip? Any other ideas?

The housing wires are as follows by color (from top to bottom)

Green/Yellow

Red

White

Orange

Light blue

Dark Blue

White/green

thanks in advance

There are 2 switch for the flapper door. Dc grd is cn50 pin 5 gray wire. Ice route switch 1 is cn40 pin 5 white with black trace wire. Ice route switch 2 is cn40 pin 6 white with green trace wire. Ice dispenser switch is CN40 pin 2 green wire.

You can check dc voltages at the board. If the flapper door is opening and closing the 2 ice route switches should have voltage and then drop to 0 vdc as the switch are being actuated.
