The Ice Maker is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It automates the ice production within the freezer, providing a steady and reliable supply of ice cubes. 

Causes of a bad Ice Maker can include malfunctioning water valves, clogged filter systems, or issues with the thermostat that affect ice production. Additionally, mechanical failures in the ice ejector arms or the heating mechanism that releases the ice can prevent proper functioning.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Maker include:

  • No ice production or very slow ice production
  • Ice cubes that are smaller or larger than normal
  • Ice that tastes odd or smells bad
  • Loud noises during the ice-making process

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Answer

Ron, You will want to make sure that you give the unit 24 hours to make the first batch of ice. If there is still no ice being made then check to make sure that the emitter board has the light on and it will be flashing when the bin is removed. Once the flapper is closed the light should be solid. If this checks ok then you will need to check to see if there is power getting to the water valve when the icemaker calls for water. If it is then the valve will be the issue. The ice maker and dispenser valves are independent of each other so one could work where the other will not.
