Meg for Model Number whirlpool GD5NHAXSB00 Our icemaker stopped making ice. I turned the freezer off and let it defrost, since it needed a good cleaning anyway. I turned the unit back on and last night, before I went to bed, it was making ice and everything seemed to be working fine. This morning we woke to water on the floor and water had run down the door of the freezer and frozen. There was also frozen icicles dripping from the icemaker itself as well as on the shelves under the icemaker. Any suggestions on what is going on and how to fix it? Thanks.
Answer Hi Meg. The Ice maker head control module tells the water valve when to open and send water. If the controls shorted during the night and kept calling for water then you will need Ice maker part # 2198597. It is far unlikely that the water valve shorted but in case you decide to change both, that part # is WPW10159839. Thank you. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, July 25, 2011
