Vinnie I for Model Number 106.58422700

Answer Vinnie, Yes it could be a faulty fill valve W10408179 the diaphragm or solenoid could be faulty and allowing water to flow through the system. The fill valve would be a good place to start.

After turning on the ice machine, it produces a full bin of ice with no problems. The problem occurs after the ice bin is full. The circulation pump continues to attempt to circulate water from the bin, but there is not enough water in the bin and the circulation pump sucks air and will not shut off, and no water is added to the bin, at which time I cut off the ice maker. I replaced the water circulation pump a couple of years ago. Could it be the water valve, which has never been replaced.

Shannon for Model Number Kitchen Aid Ice Maker KUIA18PNLS5

Answer Hello Shannon, The water valve W10217918 is probably the issue. I'm surprised you haven't had to change it before since the water valve is the most problematic of all the components on the under the counter ice machine with all of the sedimentation and mineral deposits they are exposed to and the fact that they run almost continuously.

THE TUBE IS CONNECTED BUT FOUND A THIN PIECE OF FOIL LIKE 2AND A HALF BY 2 AND A HALF UP ON THE EVAPORATOR AND THE CUTTING GRID BUT WHAT IS THIS AND IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE I CAN LOOK FOR THANKS DAVE

David G for Model Number GE AP4363816

Answer David, What is the issue, you didn't mention that. As for a 2X2 piece of foil, we have no idea, There should be nothing attached to the heater grid, thats where the ice falls and gets cut into cubes by the wire. The only thing attached to the evaporator should be the thermistor, and thaty should have a mounting clip. If you can gwt us a model number and a more precise problem explanation, we can help you out a lot better, Thanks

The water runs in to the holding tank but overflow runs for a little while going out the overflow tube. Then water shuts off and gets sucked up to the top of machine and then water comes running out of the top back into the hopper area and then down the drain and does not produce any ice and also makes a wooshing sound. Can you offer any advice? Thanks, Dave

David G. for Model Number GE ZDIS15CSSN

Answer Hello David, This sounds like the tube 2217286 that carries the water from the pump to the dispenser has come off.

Ordered pump Make WPL Part # W10217918 on your invoice, from technical data sheet replacement part "pump" WR57X10028, I have your replacement part in my hand, an exact match. I do not know how to remove and reinstall the water lines. Do I cut the lines and reinstall by simply pushing in past the metal grab fitting? I cannot pull out water lines from defective pump. I can email or text a picture of the lines into the fittings..thanks, Brad

Brad for Model Number GE monogram ice machine 197D7177P003

Answer Hi Brad. The replacement valve part # W10217918. It uses (like all newer water valve types) push in clips to grab and release the water lines. You should be able to push in the fitting end as then it will release the water lines. Then make sure (if you have to cut the lines) that the lines are cut exactly square for proper reinsertion into the new valve. This should aide in your replacement. Thank You.

Water continuously flows into the reservior/water pan and does not stop. The ice maker never seems to progress beyond this stage so no ice is produced. What could be wrong?

Brian for Model Number ZDIS15CSSM

Answer Hello Brian. It is likely that your water valve has stuck in the open position and will need replaced. That part is W10217918. I hope this helps!

The reservoir that I was referring to is actually part number AP3594832 and is called a water pan. If we fill this pan manually with some water the noise (whooshing sound) stops. Replacing the Water Valve to this IceMaker has only helped in that the ice is now crystal clear instead of "airy".

Ausuml for Model Number ZDIS15CSSM

Answer Hello Ausuml. You have a leak at the new water valve. You will need to check the water lines and make sure they are good and tight. Pull on the water lines and see if they come out of the valve. They should be tight. Also, check and make sure the lines are not cracked. Hope this helps.

We had a repairman tell us we needed to order part number WR57X10068 (Water Valve) also shown as manufacturer part number W10217918. We ordered this and our ice now is perfectly clear. The problem now lies in the fact that the reservoir is not staying full. Due to it not staying full, there is a constant wooshing noise. If we fill the reservoir manually then the noise stops. Since we have replaced the water valve yesterday the ice compartment has only produced about 32 ounces of ice. Can you tell me what we need to do? My husband did the work and I questioned the lines being straight. He assured me there were no kinks in the line :)

Ausuml for Model Number ZDIS15CSSM

Answer Hello Ausuml. If your referring to the icemaker mold as the reservoir, you may have a problem with the fill tube for the icemaker being frozen. If so, you will need to thaw the fill tube out. Hope this helps.
