Q and A forum example questions:
1) I removed the fresh food ice maker found the drain tube for ice maker frozen. This was causing the back of the unit to rust out. This also caused the water to run down the back of the unit the into the duct work and into the freezer. I then defrosted the freezer and fresh food sections. I found the ice maker drain was not draining. Cleared blockage reinstalled drain. I installed the retro fit kit that I purchased that replaces original air handler part 5303918784. This kit has a better seal and an improved defroster heater shield. So far so good.
2) The ice maker on this model is freezing up and I'm looking for a ice maker gasket kit. I ordered Air Handler Housing Kit and received Part Number 5303918784. Is that correct? Anyway, what I received does not match the picture shown on the website and does not appear to be compatible. Can you help please? For Model Number FGHB2866PF9A
Yes the 5303918784 Air Handler Housing Kit is the correct replacement part for the model number you supplied. It has been redesigned and several additional parts included by the manufacturer. It does contain the instructions to properly install the kit, and you need to read, understand and follow the instructions for a proper outcome. You should, will, need to check the Ice Maker defrost heater and defrost bi metal thermostat for a proper circuit and operation.
