Brian September 20, 2019 for Model Number GD25DIXHW00 The light for the optical sensor doesn't light up with the flap pressed. Also, with the flap and door switch pressed, I'm only getting 98Vac to the black wire at the icemaker. The icemaker will not cycle with a jumper wire. Would this be the optical sensor kit? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Brian, If the light is not coming on when the freezer door is opened you will need to verify the icemaker is not in a harvest mode. This would explain the voltage drop and the fact that the optics light is not illuminating. Check the two tabs in the center of the icemaker cycling wheel located on the motor module. If the tabs are broken and contacting one another, it will throw the timing of the motor module off so that the icemaker will not complete a cycle. This could be corrected by replacing the icemaker assembly 2198597 or the motor module W10190935. Read More...
Troy August 21, 2019 for Model Number ED5FHAXVQ00 My water valve that fills the icemaker freezes up after I took it out and defrosted it. It worked for a week now it is frozen again and no ice is dropped or made since the ice tray is full. What do I need to fix?
1 Answer Troy, the fill tube freezing up is going to indicate that the water valve W10408179 is leaking by and would need to be replaced. Read More...
John January 25, 2019 for Model Number model 106.53606202 My ice maker is not working. I've replaced the ice maker and it still is not making ice or filling ice tray with water. The water fill line is not frozen. The optical sensor light is steady when the door is opened and hinged door closed, but goes dark when the freezer door switch is closed. Not sure if this is normal. Water dispenser works fine.
1 Answer John, the optical sensor may not be functioning properly. If you have the door switch depressed and the optical hinge pressed in with no obstructions, then you should get 120v AC to the icemaker at the black wire. If you do not get 120v at the icemaker connection, then you have a bad optical sensor W11629974. Read More...
John January 02, 2019 for Model Number 106.57713701 Where is the troubleshooting video to verify that the optic board is the actual problem? My Ice maker will make ice occasionally and not make ice the rest of the time, I was told it is most likely the optic boards but I don't want to buy the part and install if that is not definitely the problem. Also, I have w10757851 as the part # for the optic board kit....is this correct for my model? Thanks, John
1 Answer John, Open the freezer door and view the diagnostics “status” LED. Two (2) pulses followed by a one (1)second delay (repeated) indicates either the flapper door on the emitter is blocking the beam or the optics are faulty. Press in the emitter flapper door to unblock the optics beam. Two (2) pulses followed by a one (1) second delay (repeated) indicates the Optics W10757851 are faulty. If the LED is on steady the Optics are working properly. Read More...
Bwaf75 December 30, 2018 Does the ice maker control board on a Kitchenaid refrigerator also control water flow into the ice maker. My control board has failed and the ice maker won't stop making ice, but also water is now dripping out of the ice maker and making icicles in the freezer.

Scott August 23, 2018 for Model Number ED2KHAXVB01 Having icemaker issue. The icemaker IS making ice, but is producing it slowly. Here's why: It's a 5 cube maker, and when the water turns on to fill the tray, it is only filling 2-3 of the cube molds at a time. It doesn't fill all 5 molds. I've already ruled out water pressure and the water supply line: the regular water dispenser in the door gives a strong steady stream in your glass. My question is whether the problem would be fixed by replacing the water inlet valve or the ice level power control board (W10757851). I've been all over the internet, and people talk about their icemaker NOT making ice at all. But would a new control board solve my issue as well? Thanks.
1 Answer Scott, I don't think replacing the board would fix your lack of water in the icemaker problem, I would recommend replacing the inlet valve, part number is W10822681 Read More...
Terry K. January 19, 2018 for Model Number GC3SHAXVS00 My Whirlpool Gold side by side water and ice on door, will not dispense ice. It makes ice, and water function works perfectly. I changed out the auger motor, checked the shaft and it is not stripped. Changed out the dispenser switch and still nothing. Looked at the board and see no burn spots.When it stopped working, we smelled a little burning of some sort.
1 Answer Hello Terry, You should first check the wiring harness at the bottom of the freezer door since it can become damaged or loose from the opening and closing of the door. This would also be the place to check for voltage to the dispenser assembly. If no voltage is present you will need to check for voltage from the control WPW10209635 on the P8 terminals. Read More...
Annie October 02, 2017 My hot water dispenser stops working and produces foul, burning smell, and some smoke too. What happened? First I thought it was the garbage disposable but that still works fine.
