Frigidaire Refrigerator Repair in Toronto — Ice maker not working

• On the modular ice maker (assembly 241798231, the workhorse Frigidaire/Electrolux head used across FFHB/FFSS/FFTR units) the first move is the front-port jumper test, not a parts swap: bridge the 'T' and 'H' holes with an insulated wire for a few seconds to force a harvest cycle, then watch for the end-of-cycle fill. If the rake turns and water fills, the head is good and the fault is upstream (valve, filter, or fill freeze); if nothing moves, the module/motor is the dead part. We also continuity-test the mold thermostat at the T/H pins, it should read continuity cold (the internal bimetal closes below ~15F) and open warm, which tells us whether the cycle will ever trigger.
• No-fill, where the ice maker cycles and rakes but the mold stays empty, traces most often to the water inlet valve 242252702 (the triple-solenoid Frigidaire/Electrolux valve, cross-ref AP5671757 / PS7784018). With line pressure confirmed and 120V at the ice-maker solenoid terminal during the fill window, a coil that meters open or shorted is the failed part. We ohm each solenoid against the valve's marked spec rather than assume a single number, and this is one of the most common 'dead ice maker' verdicts on this platform, since the valve is a cheap, stocked part.
• A clogged PureSource Ultra filter (ULTRAWF, part 242017800) is the quietest 'dead ice maker' cause and the one we rule out before condemning any electrical part: at ~200 gallons the cartridge restricts flow, so the mold under-fills or never fills and ice production dies even with a healthy valve and head. We swap in a fresh ULTRAWF (or fit the bypass plug to prove flow), flush ~1.5 gallons to clear air, and confirm fill volume returns before quoting anything bigger.
• Recurring frost in the ice room that kills ice every few weeks is the signature 2012-2018 Gallery French-door (FFHB/FGHB) air-leak pattern, not a bad head: warm moist air enters the ice compartment, the fill tube and evaporator cover frost over, and ice stops until it thaws. The durable Frigidaire fix is the OEM air-handler housing / seal kit 5303918784 (AP6039735), which replaces the ice-maker air-handler housing and gaskets to seal the warm-air leak in the duct; where the fill tube itself frosts and ices over we also fit the fill-tube insulation kit 5303918762. We confirm the heavy-frost-at-evaporator signature first so we seal the air path instead of repeatedly chasing a thaw.
• A dead ice maker that arrives with a warming freezer is usually an SY EF event, not an ice-maker part: SY EF (System / Evaporator Fan) means the board lost the evaporator-fan feedback signal, so freezer airflow stops, the mold never reaches harvest temp, and food softens. The evaporator fan motor is 5303918549 (PartSelect PS3419839 / AppliancePartsPros AP4700070). We clear any evaporator ice load, confirm the blade spins freely, then replace the motor if it shows no feedback, and we keep this distinct from a true module failure.
• Ice gets made but won't drop or dispense, this is a harvest/eject or auger-drive fault, not a no-fill: with the head proven good on the T/H jumper test, we pull the bin, turn the auger by hand (it should spin freely against the dispenser drive), then meter the auger motor for continuity. No continuity, or 120V present with no rotation, makes the auger/drive the part. We separate this from a true 'no ice made' fault on the first visit so we don't throw a water valve at a delivery problem.
• Kenmore 253.-prefix fridges are Frigidaire-built on this exact ice platform, so the same 241798231 modular head, 242252702 valve and ULTRAWF filter resolve their dead-ice calls, same parts book, same T/H jumper-test diagnosis path, no separate sourcing.

Frigidaire ice maker not working in Toronto — the local specifics

• The recurring Toronto pattern on Frigidaire dead-ice calls is a split: rental-stock and condo top-mount/side-by-side units (FFTR/FFSS) almost always come down to the modular head 241798231, a no-fill 242252702 valve, or a clogged ULTRAWF filter and close same-visit, while 2012-2018 Gallery French-door units (FFHB/FGHB) keep showing the frost-in-the-ice-room signature that only sealing the air path (air-handler housing kit, plus fill-tube insulation where the tube ices) truly cures, repeated thaw-only fixes on those just come back.
• We roll to Frigidaire ice-maker-dead calls with the 241798231 modular head, the 242252702 triple-solenoid inlet valve, a 5303918549 evaporator fan, and ULTRAWF (242017800) filters on the van, plus a meter and a T/H jumper wire to run the on-unit harvest test. For confirmed 2012-2018 French-door frost units we book the visit around the serial-matched air-handler housing / seal kit 5303918784 (and the fill-tube insulation kit 5303918762 where the tube ices) rather than carrying it blind.
