Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly (Part Number: OEM9548208)

1 Answer

Hello Joseph. No, the icemaker works on how fast the ice freezes and dumps the ice according to the thermo-disc opening and closing. You can try running the freezer a little colder, but usually this does not help a lot. If the icemaker is real slow about making ice, you may need to replace the icemaker 2198597. Hope this helps.

Hi HQT. The ice maker will call for water from the water valve. The I/Maker needs to be leveled so the cubes will fill correctly. Part # is 2198597. Thank you.

Hi Willie. You will need to Remove the door cover. Then there are 2- 1/4" screws in the bottom of the ice-maker shelf attached to the ice maker. Then there is a cover on the electrical connector to the upper rt. of the ice-maker with a screw to remove. Then unplug the electrical connector. You should be able to pull the unit out towards you then. Make sure that the fill tube cup is positioned correctly in the new ice maker upon reassembly. Thank you.

Hello James. If the cubes are too small or hollow, and it is causing them to get stuck in the fingers, you will need to check and make sure the filter is good. If so, you will need to replace the water valve W10408179. Hope this helps.

Bill for Model Number Kitchen Aid KSBR25f side by side refriegerator with icemaker

Recently, the icemaker has stopped making ice due to frequent jamming. I determined that the ice stripper was broken on the right side and was not guiding the ejection of ice properly. I ordered a stipper from applicance parts, installed it and reinstalled the icemaker but now nothing works. The LED lights work but nothing else. In one of the answers to a forum question, it was implied that the icemaker door must be re-installed for the icemaker to operate. Is this so, and if so, why would the door matter? Also, is there a CB for the icemaker? I thought maybe disconnecting the four-wire connector may have caused a momentary short and caused a CB to pop. If there isn't an icemaker CB, could there be a lack of connection in the connector itself? Thanks for any help that you may provide.

Hi Bill. The ice bin door has to be closed with the door closed. This way the ice bin along with the hole in the door flap can allow the infra-red to pass through from the Transmitter to the receiver. When the ice bin is full and the info, cant pass it tells the transmitter to stop making ice. Make sure that your electrical plug is tightly, correctly aligned. All plugs have to be gone over including to the ice maker itself. If it was calling for water before, then it still has to reach the freezer temperatures before it will regulate. It is common for the Receiver/transmitter to go bad. This part is # W11629974. Thank you.

Hello Arbuck41. Check and see if the icemaker is over filling or is leaking. If it is over filling, it sounds like you may have a bad water valve assembly 12002193. Hope this helps.
