Request for Question Clarification by scriptor-ga on 13 Dec 2003 10:17 PST

Dear kcid,

Have you already contacted the Frigidaire customer service? They send
paper copies of owner's manuals and service documentation on request.
However, I do not know whether they have a seperate manual for the
icemaker in your fridge. Would you be interested in contact
information for Frigidaire's customer service department, or has this
already proven a dead end for you?

Regards,
Scriptor

Hi kcid,

I think I have found enough information to help you make informed
decisions about your ice maker. Aside from one doom and gloom note...

Frigidaire Twist-tray:
-identified by a top fill from the ceiling of the freezer. Nearly all
of these are on the junk heap and belong there. The best advice is to
either forget the icemaker or buy a new refrigerator.

...there are instructions and parts available online.

I asked a very narrow question, and back very broad answers. General
information on ice makers is pretty available. The only spesific
answer was from manual 9, something to the effect, that most of those
Frigidaire units were in the junk. Mine us not and I am still looking
for information.

Dear kcid,

I'm very sorry that you found my answer to be "poor" and I wish you
had used your "clarification request" option before closing the
question as I had mentioned in my answer. Given that you feel your
question has not been answered, I have asked Google to remove my
answer - I suggest emailing them if you have anything to add to my
request or have any questions.

Happy Holidays,
hummer
