Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Filter Block (Foam), 1 Piece (Part Number: OEM18016701)

Hello Duane. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Ralph, First check and make sure the water tank on the refrigerator back wall is no frozen, due to an air flow issue and temperature too low. Wtih neither component working, you'll need to check the wires to the solenoid(s) and replace the water fill valve WP67006531
