Vidur S. for Model Number 106.52522100 We have a Kenmore 2 door fridge, Model number 106.52522100, and it has a serial number of: SL4950889. There was a leak under it a year ago, and the ice maker stopped producing ice. Basically water would not flow into the ice making tray anymore; I think these two things - the leak under the unit and the no water flowing into the ice making tray may be related, or may be they are not, I'm not sure. Anyhow, after talking with your knowledgeable sales people on the phone I ordered a new Inlet Valve AP5263471 and new Ice Maker AP 2984633 and installed them, and I find the problem is still there - water is not going into the ice maker and filling it up, so no ice gets made. There is water going into the water inlet valve, but for some reason the inlet valve is not switching on or something is blocking the water from flowing into the ice making tray, hence no ice. I am told now that I might need to order a control board for this fridge to finally fix the problem. Can you confirm that this is what I need to do? Thanks
Answer Hello Vidur, You should check the fill tube to make sure it is not frozen up. If it is frozen, the water will not be able to get to the ice maker. You should use a straw or something to check for ice in the fill tube since it can sometimes be frozen completely clear and the ice inside it isn't visible. If it is frozen, you can thaw it with a hair dryer. This may take up to 15 minutes but it will clear the ice with no parts damage. This is caused by a failing water valve, which you have already replaced, so this will complete the repair you have already begun. Read More...
