Daniela September 30, 2018 My ice maker stripper arm nas broken twice already. I would like to know if it is ok to stay woth no stripper arm for a while. Because the ice maker is not producing as the stripper blocks the process. Thank you
2 Answers Daniela, It won't hurt anything just remember if no ice produced to check the ice maker and make sure ice hasn't gotten stuck and jammed the fingers. Read More...
Lenore November 27, 2016 for Model Number GD5PHAXLQ00 I replaced the stripper following the video instructions and the water has not dispensed into the tray. It has been at least three hours. All connected properly. Before purchasing the stripper, I had a hair tie holding the broken stripper in place. The hair tie became tight around the swing arm and stopped making ice. Did I damage the motor?
1 Answer Lenore, It sounds like this could be the case that the icemaker motor is bad and would have to replace the motor of the icemaker. Read More...
Gary May 06, 2015 Just replaced ice stripper and am getting no water in tray. Do I need to wait for it to finish cycle?
1 Answer Gary, You will need to let the unit have time to get down to temperature and go through a cycle before it will fill the icemaker with ice. Read More...
Jay November 02, 2014 for Model Number KSCS25FTMS02 I just replaced the ice stripper. I watched your video and it was very easy. Before I changed the part the ice maker was making ice. Now the tray filled up with water and made ice but the ice is not coming out of the tray. I checked the electrical connections and everything is connected. Can you help me with this? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Jay, This would be caused by either the thermal mastic WP4317852 for the icemakers' cycling thermostat or the cycling thermostat WP627985 has failed. Read More...
Garth N. September 01, 2013 for Model Number whirlpool GD5DHAXVY02 There are small white plastic chips in my crushed ice. The chips are not in the cubes before crushing, only after getting crushed ice through the door dispenser.
1 Answer Hello Garth, The part number for the ice crusher bin is WPW10174536. This should take care of the issue with as few problems as possible. Read More...
Tom Lao June 19, 2013 for Model Number GS6NBEXRL02 The ice dispenser is not working. When I press the button it makes a light hum and then nothing. Is it the motor, solenoid or the control board?
1 Answer Tom, You will want to check to make sure that the ice in the ice bucket has not frozen solid together and that it is loose. If it is loose then the most likely problem is a bad motor. Read More...
Deanna May 19, 2013 My ice maker does not make ice....I am not sure what is wrong but I was told that it is the arm. if this is broke would it make ice?
1 Answer Deanna, If the stripper arm was broken it would not make ice but it could also be the motor module, icemaker thermostat, a bad heater, wire harness or valve. The icemaker should be checked. If you provide a model number we could advise of the proper things to check on the icemaker. Please post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Steve November 27, 2012 for Model Number Refrigerator KBUDT4260A I recently purchased a replacement arm rocker "AP4507899 (W10297244) ARM-STRIPR for the ice maker in my thermador refrigerator. As with the OEM, it fits into a groove on the right side. However, it seems to just dangle on the left side where it should attach to the ice maker. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Steve, When you install the rocker arm you pull the icemaker model off and then you would loosen the screws for the head of the icemaker. Once you do this there is a groove in the front of the mold that the rocker arm will slide into. Once slide into the groove you push the head back on and make sure that the rocker arm is still in place. Tighten screws back down and reinstall the module. Read More...
Patty July 23, 2012 for Model Number KSRG27FKBT03 I have an older refrigerator model #KSRG27FKBT03. I have been trying to find an owner's manual online, but haven't been successful. I don't use a lot of ice and lately, my ice bucket stays full and then it won't dispense ice. Is there anyway I can slow down or cut off ice production? My old refrigerator had a silver wire bar that I raised to cut off the ice maker. This one does not. I bought it used, so I don't know if it had one and it just got broken off or if it never had one at all.
1 Answer Hello Patty. If you open the freezer door, you will see an on/off switch for the icemaker. You can turn the icemaker on and off with that switch. Read More...
Sue August 22, 2011 for Model Number KSRG27FKBT03 the right side of my arm-stipr is loose from the unit. I think this is causing the ice to stick in that area. Is this part supposed to snap on somewhere on the right side?
1 Answer Sue, Yes the Stripper arm has a plastic "tab" on the backside, that "slips" into a slot on the right(back ) side of the icemaker mold assembly. Quite often, if you're careful you can "bend" the stripper out in the middle and insert the tab into the slot. Otherwise you'll need to loosen the four(4) screws in the front of the control head mechanism(under the white plastic cover box, enough to dislodge the two(2) front tabs and re attach the stripper and tighten the screws. Thanks and Good Luck. Read More...
