C. Campos January 16, 2022 for Model Number Whirlpool ED5LHAXWT00 The bucket that the ice drops into, when you press the ice dispense handle on the outside of the freezer door, it makes noise, but the motor doesn't move the pieces to crush the ice and release it down the chute. No ice comes out at this time, but it does make noise. Thank you in advance.
1 Answer C. Campos, Thanks for the question!!! This is often caused by the auger shaft WP2188917, motor W10822635, or the ice bucket W10204465A. Read More...
Tim January 12, 2022 for Model Number 10656666501 Is the red light suppose to be blinking, solid red, or nothing at all. Order a new ice maker, old ice maker had ice in mold but would not dump the ice. What does the red light indicate about the ice maker system?
1 Answer Tim, Based on the model and your question see the following: STATUS LED OUTPUT CODE: 4 PULSES, REPEATED ONCE INDICATES THE RELAY IS DEFECTIVE. REPLACE BOTH THE EMITTER AND RECEIVER BOARDS. 3 PULSES, REPEATED ONCE, INDICATE OPTICS AND RELAY ARE GOOD, BUT I/M IS NOT BEING SENSED/WILL NOT OPERATE. • CHECK BAIL ARM SWITCH. (MUST BE ON) • CHECK I/M CIRCUIT AND CONNECTIONS BACK TO THE RECEIVER BOARD AND NEUTRAL. • CHECK I/M COMPONENTS. 2 PULSES, REPEATED ONCE, INDICATE OPTICS ARE DEFECTIVE. REPEAT STEP ONE AND REPLACE BOTH BOARDS IF NECESSARY. STEADY LIGHT FOR 5 SECONDS INDICATES THE RELAY AND OPTICS ARE GOOD, AND THE RECEIVER SENSES THE ICEMAKER. NO LIGHT CHECK FOR POWER. Read More...
Thomas S. October 01, 2021 for Model Number KSRB25FKSS03 I had my ice maker replaced in 2011, and now the system seems broken again. The tray fills up with water, and the ice freezes, but the ice is not ejected. I ran all the diagnostics on the optics, and they seem to be working fine. I have not done the jumper cable step with the motor to force eject, since I'd need to remove it from the holder. Happy to do that, but what would that essentially prove? Wondering if that step is worth it, or if I should just replace the unit (again).
1 Answer Hello Thomas, If the forced cycle operates properly, it proves that there is either a temperature issue in the freezer, (should be between 0°F and 10°F), or a failed icemaker cycling thermostat. It will also cause the water valve W10408179 to fill the icemaker 2198597 to prove if it is or is not operating properly. Read More...
Kristi August 11, 2021 for Model Number Whirlpool GS6NVEXSY02 Will this model of ice maker work with Whirlpool model GS6NVEXSY02 Ice maker model AP3182733 When I put the appliance model number in to verify that it is the correct ice maker it comes back and states that it is not the correct replacement
Doug July 20, 2021 for Model Number Kenmore Refrigerator 106.52609100 Hello, my ice maker is leaving some white chunks in my ice. I opened it up and it had this coating that was peeling off - here is an image -- https://ibb.co/ZG5wdZ1 -- Can you tell me what this coating is?? My ice maker was dripping sometimes during the melting cycle, could this be the cause? And we have been drinking this coating. What is it for? Can I just scrape it out? Thank you
1 Answer Doug, For this issue, you will want to replace the icemaker. The coating coming off would cause the leaking issue and the coating is like a teflon coating. Read More...

Popajoe April 20, 2021 for Model Number 106.58976700 Ice maker was working fine. Went out of town and shut off water supply to house while gone. Upon return, turned water supply back on and fridge no longer makes ice. Replaced filter and water dispenser works fine. Sensor flashes when door is opened and changes to steady when flapper is pressed in. Ice maker did drop 6 cubes of ice into the ice container while we were gone. . .I assume it was residual water that was in the supply line before I shut off house water supply valve.
1 Answer PopaJoe, If the icemaker was not shut off and just the water supply then this will likely be that the icemaker is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Wayne March 01, 2021 for Model Number 106.56702500 the ice maker has, after 16 years, stopped making ice. I found that the small black tube (ID about1/4 inch or so) was frozen solid. Removed the ice and after 24 hours still not refilling the ice tray. Would replacing the ice maker assembly with a new assembly, Whirlpool PN 2198597 correct the problem? I checked the function of the IR optics and they are working as they are supposed to.
1 Answer Hello Wayne, typically if the ice maker fill tube is frozen it is caused by a leaky water valve WPW10159839. Read More...
Angie.S December 31, 2020 for Model Number KSCS25INSS00 2198597 - Hello, I just replaced this and the ice maker stopped working after 2 days. Fill valve works but motor won't turn. The freezer was making ice in the new icemaker and still makes ice in a stand alone tray. My temperature meter measured -2 degrees fahrenheit. I can short the L & V and hear the water valve and see water fill the tray but I don't hear the motor turning. Please Help
1 Answer Angie, On this unit, there will be what is known as an emitter and receiver board. When you open the door there is a light that should flash on the right side wall. When you push the flap on the left side wall, this led light should glow solid. If it does not and continues to flash then the emitter board is faulty and you will need part number W11629974.

Frank August 20, 2020 for Model Number KSRP25FNBL00 3 problems. Ice was dropping on floor of freezer and not in bin Ice maker stopped making ice Water dispenser drips continuously after use
1 Answer The first issue (ice dropping) check your ice bin is it overflowing? If water is dripping then the valve has failed, replace the water valve W10408179. Now that the valve is new see if ice maker starts working, if not replace ice maker. Read More...
