Ice maker stopped working. Water isnt flowing into cub tray. Ive poured hot water into the cub tray to try to release it but the water will freeze and if I pour more hot water into it then the cubes will release. Ive defrofrosted the freezer and then restarted at a lower temp to see if unit was maybe frozen up but no change. Please advise. The rest of the fridge hasnt had any issues, it is about 7 years old

How do you remove the icemaker from Kitchenaid Ref (ksrp25fnssoo) . I have alway got instructions with the part, but this time no instructions. HOw do you get the old ice maker out?

Robert for Model Number ksrp25fnssoo

Answer Hello Robert, To remove the icemaker you will remove the access door in front of icemaker first. You would then remove the 1/4" hex screw that is on the bottom right of the icemaker. Once screw is removed then lift the wire cover out from the back of the icemaker from where you just removed the screws. Push in on flapper and pull icemaker out and disconnect.

The ice maker is receiving no water. Do I need to change the whole unit or just a specific part.

Jeanie for Model Number kscs23inss00

Answer Hello Jeanie. 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

For the past few months my ice machine has been forming an icicle from the overflow pan below the ice maker. I purchased from you a new inlet valve and replaced that hoping that would fix my issue. Unfortunately that didn't work. I have had the ice maker removed and noticed that the coating in the water tray is starting to come off. I don't see how that would cause the tray to overflow but running out of options.

Wally J for Model Number 10656532400

Answer Hello Wally. It sounds like it is leaking from the coating being gone. You will need to replace the icemaker 2198597 in the unit.

We purchased a replacement icemaker from you and it did not make ice for the first 36 hours after installation, then it made 1 tray of ice. Twenty four hours later it made 1 tray of ice about 2 weeks ago. It filled with water and froze but has not dumped since. The light to the right of the door blinks 2 short blinks, pauses, then blinks 2 short blinks. When I hold down the flapper, it continues to blink 2 short blinks with a pause, then 2 more short blinks (there is no change in in the operation whether the flapper is held down or released) I thought possibly the new icemaker was defective, but before I replace it again, I need your technical advice in case there is another problem.

Paul for Model Number Kenmore model 106.58902802

Answer Hello Paul. The most critical issue with icemaker operation is temperature. It needs to be 0° in order for it to work properly. You will need to check and see what the temperature inside the unit is at. Here is a link to help if the temperature is good. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/refrigerator-freezer-repair/29618-ice-maker-not-working-kitchenaid.html

I am looking for a replacement icemaker for my KA refrigerator. The part suggested is AP3182733. When I check to see if it is compatible it tells me no. Then I research the part and it comes up with the same number? Please let me know if this part # is correct so that I can order it. Thank you

I purchased the complete icemaker unit [from you guys], replaced it, and it started working immediately. We had ice with an hour or so. It made about 6 batches of ice and then stopped. There is ice in the maker, but it has not flipped out. Now what? Thanks, Jason

Jason

Answer Hello Jason, I would first check the temperature in the freezer compartment. If it doesn't drop below 20 degrees it cannot cycle. The cycling thermostat could have caused this failure if the temperature is sufficient.

Ice maker not working after replacing with new unit. Freezer is cold (ice-cream is hard). Tested optic sensor I think it is a 2002 design (mfg date 11-03). Open door 2 blinks pause 2 blinks. Close the flap and solid light. Optics test good. Put a jumper between T&H and the new unit won't run. Any suggestions on what to test next?
