Justin for Model Number gts18dcpwrbb

Answer Hello Justin. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html 

Marvin R. for Model Number 363.9565412

Answer Hello Marvin, This can be one of several things. First thing to check is the water pressure. The water valve is closed by the water pressure only. There is no spring to aid in its' closure. Therefore, low water pressure will cause the valve to close too slowly, in turn causing an overfill condition. The other thing you can check is the water valve output. This will allow you to see if full water pressure is passed through the water valve. In case you wonder what good this is, if the water pressure isn't fully passed through the water valve, the water valve isn't fully opening and is probably having a hard time closing since the valve is failing. The last thing can't easily be checked. If the water pressure and the valve check out good, the fault will have to be a set of contacts in the ice maker sticking. Let us know if we can further assist you.

Answer Hello Andrew. Check the fill tube coming into the icemaker and see if it is frozen. If so, you need to check the temperature in the freezer and make sure is is around 0°. If to cold, it will freeze the fill tube in the unit. 

Kenneth for Model Number GE WR30X0289 Icemaker

Answer Hello Kenneth. If the water valve is new, then the issue is the icemaker WR30X10093 and it is best to replace it as a unit. These icemakers are electronic and don't work well being repaired. It is best to replace it. 

Kenneth for Model Number GE WR30X0289 Ice maker

Answer Kenneth, The "hold" switch, is basically power in(120 VAC) into the ice maker control assembly, It is controlled by the "bale" arm and or the "ON/OFF switch of the ice maker. What is the voltage on the brown wire on the switch, it should be 120 VAC constant, as long as the door switch is closed. Is there residual voltage on the other wire when the ice maker is turned off or the bale arm is in the "full" position? What was defective on the hold switch you forgot to mention if it was shorted out, out of adjustment, etc. Thanks 

Patrick for Model Number tnx22prcbrbb

Answer Hello Patrick. If the icemaker is over flowing on the unit, you will need to replace the water valve WR57X10019 on the unit. If the icemaker is sticking and over flowing, you will replace the icemaker. You can test for power to the water valve. If no power and still water, replace the valve. To much power, replace the icemaker. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
