Chad for Model Number ED25TQ I recently purchased a used Whirlpool side by side. The previous party did not use the water option. When I attached the water supply, the water to the ice maker just kept running and did not shut off. I was told it was the inlet valve so I purchased a new only to find the same problem. None of the tubes were hooked on the old inlet valve so I am not sure if I have them hooked up in the proper location. Is there a plumbing diagram I could view? Or is there another problem?
Answer Hi Chad. There are (should be) 3 hose connections on the dual solenoid water valve. The supply incoming is separate on the "front " side of the water valve as it is mounted to the cabinet.Then there is a 1/4" line side of the red side which goes to the ice maker straight up to the ice maker. The 5/16" line will hook to the green color that goes to a internal water tank. Then the tank will supply the fountain control via the lower freezer hinge door connection. If you have it correct. Then look at the ice maker when it is calling for water fill, with the arm down . Pop off the front cover and see if after the 6-second fill is over, ice maker stops lifts the bail arm and shuts itself off. Since the ice maker controls the water valve fill and will not stop, then the ice maker is shorted internally and needs replaced. This part # is 4317943. Thank You. Read More...
