ZIS36N
Monogram ZIS36N Icemaker Side-by-Side Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Icemaker fill and ejection
- Filter condition and flow
- Inlet valve and line
- Both door gaskets
- Fan and defrost
The ZIS36N is a Monogram 36 inch built-in side-by-side refrigerator with an automatic icemaker and SmartWater filtration, listed for 2000 through 2021. It measures 36 inches wide, 84 inches high and 24 3/4 inches deep, with 21.40 cubic feet of capacity.
The icemaker and the filter change what we check. If ice is slow or the cubes are small, we look at the water supply, the inlet valve and the filter, then the icemaker. A filter that is old can restrict flow enough to mimic a failed valve. On the cooling side, we test the gaskets, the fan and the defrost system as for any side-by-side.
Before we order parts, we copy the complete model and serial from the label. The price is written ahead of the work, and our repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Key features
- 36 in side-by-side
- 21.40 cu ft capacity
- Automatic icemaker
- SmartWater filtration
What does SmartWater filtration involve?
The brand lists the ZIS36N with SmartWater filtration. That means a filter in the water path, and a spent filter can cut flow to the icemaker, which looks like a failed valve until the filter is changed.
Why is my built-in icemaker making little ice?
We check the water supply, the inlet valve and the filter first. Then we look at the icemaker itself and the freezer temperature, since ice needs a cold enough freezer to form properly.
Is a 36 inch side-by-side deep for its opening?
The brand lists it at 24 3/4 inches deep, 36 inches wide and 84 inches high. We use those figures when we plan access, so we can reach the water line without damaging the cabinet trim.
