By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18079050
Manufacturer Part Number: W10873791

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.

Jeff for Model Number WRS571CIHZ01

I noticed when running the 45 test the tray does not stop at level. It continues to rotate past level another 15 degrees or so and then it stops but sounds like it is still trying to rotate. If I release bucket switch (and remove power) the tray backs up a bit. All the wires look fine. The fact that it is running the harvest cycle does indicate it is getting the required power correct? Anything else I can check other than all the wires? Could it possibly be the valve that sends the water to the ice maker? Is there a way to check this valve?

Answer

Jeff, Yes, the unit is getting proper power to the icemaker module that is allowing it to turn. If the icemaker is not making ice then check to make sure that there is power getting to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If there is but no water coming in then it would be a faulty valve.
