Jim for Model Number KSRS25QGAL00 I purchased the Water Inlet valve for my Kitchenaide ice maker 3 1/2 years ago. It's again not getting water to the mold. You part number is AP6006054. What I was able to read this weekend, I could determine if it was operational by testing the resistance. I got a reading of about 190 on the ice maker side and 247 on the cold water side of the valve. The water dispenser is working so I'm wondering if these readings indicate that the valve has failed again? I did check the feed tube, it is clear and I checked the flow of water to the valve and it's running strong, I think. I filled a cup of water in 6 seconds which extrapolated to a gallon in appx. 1.6 minutes. Is there anywhere else I should check?
Answer Hello Jim, the valves coils are in range, but that only tests the coils not actual valve operation for ice maker's fill side. How you want to test the icemaker's fill circuit is to cycle the ice maker and test that 120v is showing at the valve's tan and white wire terminals during the last part of the harvest cycle for about 7 seconds, if so and the mold did not fill and the fill tube is not frozen then replace the valve. If it did fill and the freezer temp is below 10 deg then replace the ice maker. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, October 21, 2019
