Thread: Frigidaire refrigerator dispenses water and ice at the same time

    Frigidaire refrigerator dispenses water and ice at the same time

    Model Number: PHS68EJSBO
    Brand: Frigidaire
    Age: 6-10 years

    I replaced the micro-switch for the water actuator, and when I put it all back together and powered it up, which ever actuator you hit (ice or water) both would be activated. I replaced both the relay/PS board and the front panel control board (one at a time) with the same result.
    Another oddity, which I believe is not related, is that the solenoid for the cube/crushed ice doesn't seem to be working. Its not frozen. I can move it freely with my finger.
    Looking at the drawings, one or both of the boards should have solved the issue as I don't see anything else that would activate both systems.

    The front panel control "seems" to be working as the LED lights when hit the respective button is hit

    It could be the steering diode, see below.

    It is usually built into the valve wiring harness and the diode is usually covered with heat shrink.
