Serge for Model Number ET18PKXFW01 So I got everything, installed using the original wire harness which was pre-wired in the refrigerator. However, the water isn't flowing up the line. When I unscrewed the water valve feeder i heard the sucking noise so it seems like the electrical is fine. However, the water isn't traveling upwards towards the ice maker. Any ideas? I just installed it a moment ago so maybe I'm jumping the gun. The bar is turned to the on position.
Answer Hello Serge, First, make sure there is water pressure to the refrigerator by removing the water line and turning the water on with the line in a bucket. If full water pressure is present, let the unit sit for 24 hours and check on it at that time. If still no water, use a straw in the fill tube to make sure it is not frozen. If not, replace the water valve under the part warranty if 120 volts ac is getting to the valve near the end of the icemakers cycle. (There is such a thing as a defective new part). If, after 24 more hours, there is still no water reaching the icemaker, you could have a bad contact in the icemaker 5303918493 or a wiring issue if the voltage is not being supplied to the water valve from the icemaker.
