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

Mike, If you were on test 47 reading the ice maker thermister and had a reading of 2 then yes the thermistor or the harness has failed.At 36 degrees the thermister should read 7.964K ohms of resistance and 0 degrees should read 23.045K ohms of resistance. Testing from the main board will allow you to test through the wire harness to the thermistor so if readings are correct then the control would be your issue. Using the ohms i sent you test at P7-1 and P7-2 for ice maker thermister. refrigerator thermister is P5-1 and P5-2 and freezer is P5-3 and P5-4.
