This replacement part is a control board for an ice maker. Control boards serve as the main computer that controls the functions of the ice machine.Before installing this part, unplug the ice maker and pull it away from the wall. Then unthread screws of the access cover to the control panel. Use a putty knife to pry the cover off and proceed to remove the screws securing the top panel. Use a nut driver to remove the rear panel. Lift the top panel up and have someone hold it upright. Remove the screws that hold the control housing on the top panel. Once control housing has been released, remove the screws securing the grounding wire to set the panel aside. Then with a Phillips head screwdriver, unthread the screws that hold the control board. Depress the tab to release the board. Note the orientation of the wire connectors and disconnect them from the board.

Curt for Model Number KUIA18PNLS4

My ice maker will intermittently make ice and then not make ice. It seems to get stuck in some cycle where it makes a sucking noise. Turning it off and back on will sometimes correct the problem and it will make ice again. However recently it seems to go more quickly right back to not producing ice...after one or two ice drops. I've run it through a cleaning cycle more than once. It had this problem when it was new and I believe the repair tech replaced the circuit control board. Could that be the problem again?

Answer

Hello Curt. You will need to look inside the unit and see if the water is splashing out of the unit into the ice bin. If so, the unit will not produce ice due to the water leaking into the ice bin. If the unit fills for a few cycles, and then stops, check and see if there is power coming to the water valve. If there is power there and the water does not fill, you will need to replace the water valve W10801996. If there is no power there you will need to replace the control board WP2304016. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
