The Icemaker is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators.

  • The icemaker not producing ice
  • Ice cubes being smaller than usual or misshapen
  • Leaking water inside the freezer
  • Unusual noises during the ice-making process
  • The ice bin not filling up

Answer

Sandy, With the unit having a emitter board in it the jumper between T and H may not work properly. You will want to check the light on the emitter board. When you open the freezer door the light should be flashing on the right wall. If the light is not flashing then push in on the flapper on the left door and hold the light switch to see if the light is flashing. If it is not then the emitter board is bad. If it is then the unit is in a harvest mode and if the fingers are not turning then the issue would be the motor on the unit. If the light is flashing when you open the door then press the flapper and see if the light glows solid, if solid then the issue would be in the icemaker. If the light continues to flash then the issue would be in the emitter board.
