Kevin for Model Number KUIA18PNLS4 I have a Kenmore KUIA18PNLS4 ice maker that is not making ice. The water is circulating and the plate is getting cool, but not cold enough to make ice. I have noticed that the fan is not coming on at all. I tried an external fan on the coils and it began making ice. I took the fan off and it does run with an external power source. Something is not switching the compressor fan on when needed. There are 2 wires that go to the fan. One, I believe is the off white common that runs to the compressor. The other wire is orange and looks like it goes to the circuit board. At this point, I am tending to believe the problem is a bad circuit board. Any thoughts? Could I simply splice the hot for the fan to the hot for the compressor? Thanks.
Answer Hello Kevin. Test for power to the fan on the unit. If it is there, then the fan motor is bad. If it is not there, then the board is bad. 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 Read More...
