Russell January 03, 2019 for Model Number B21CL80SNS/01 The ice cube mold box broke and i am not able to find a replacement. Thanks, Russ Bosch,3 door
Paul November 08, 2018 for Model Number 2198597 Ice maker was replaced a year ago, and makes ice, but will not DISPENSE it. The ice in the bucket thaws a little then refreezes each time the freezer door is opened. With all the cubes frozen together, the dispenser arm cannot possibly turn. I removed the frozen together cubes and the dispenser arm does not turn when the "dispenser" button is pushed, either when empty or with a few cubes in the bottom. It would appear that the motor which turns the arm of the dispenser may be bad. However, I am reluctant to replace it because the frozen together cubes may have caused the dispenser to go bad and I expect that to happen with a new dispenser motor. My question, finally, is why do the cubes freeze together? (A) Is it because my grand children leave the freezer door open too long looking for popsicles? or (B) Is the operating temperature of the freezer not cold enough?
2 Answers Paul, If the door is being held open too long then this will certainly cause the cubes to freezer together. Also look for a issue with a possible air leak around the dispenser door. If this checks ok then it sounds like just the door being open too long would be causing this. Read More...

2 Answers Paul, Without the model, we can only assume what could be going on with the auger motor. You can always test at the auger motor for 120 vac and backtrack from there. Basically, the ice maker has a heater that comes on when cycling to warm up the mold to free the frozen ice, then when it dumps you have wet ice falling onto the frozen ice and sticking together. Then they rely on the auger motor to break this ice back up when the dispenser is calling for ice. Read More...
Lou October 30, 2018 for Model Number KSRG25FVMS-SS Water leaking, dripping, from ice maker to floor. What part might be defective or replace icemaker? Thanks
1 Answer Lou, You could possibly have a water valve that doesn't seal properly and allows water to constantly drip into ice maker overflowing and leaking out the dispenser. Another scenario is the defrost drain is clogged and when the unit defrosts the drain water cannot escape and goes to the floor. Read More...
Encarnacion October 24, 2018 for Model Number rs26imdrs Icemaker does dispense icemaking very small amount.
1 Answer Encarnacion, If the icemaker is making very little ice then this will most likely be caused by the unit getting cold enough in the ice compartment. You will want to check this. Read More...
Brad M. October 12, 2018 for Model Number GS6SHEXNB00 WHIRLPOOL My icemaker is not functioning. The in-door water line is fine. I've replaced the water inlet valve but I still have no water fill to the icemaker. The fill tube is clear and is not frozen. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Brad, You will need to force the icemaker to cycle and check for 120Vac at the water valve for about 6 to 7 seconds near the end of the icemaker cycle. If the voltage is present and water pressure is sufficient, the water valve W10408179 is at fault. If there is no voltage at the water valve, there is either an icemaker 8201515 or 2198597 issue or a problem with the wiring harness. Read More...
Michelle August 11, 2018 for Model Number AP3182733 I replaced my broken ice maker and the new one is producing ice, but at a much slower rate than the original. Is there a timing mechanism that I can adjust to have it drop the finished cubes more often?
1 Answer Michelle, There is no timing mechanism that will help to produce ice faster. This unit should produce ice about every 1 to 1 1/2 hours and only puts out 8 cubes at a time. The only thing that will affect how quick the unit makes ice would be the temperature of the freezer which should be between 0 and 5 degrees. If it is not withing this range it can cause longer ice production times. Read More...
B.L. August 10, 2018 for Model Number KSRS25ILBL02 Will this part work with KSRS25ILBL02? If not, please let me know what would fit. The current ice maker produces 8 cubes. Thanks
1 Answer Hello B.L., 2198597 is the icemaker assembly recommended for the model provided. Read More...
Gzimmer August 05, 2018 for Model Number 106.55602400 Installed a new icemaker in my Kenmore Elite. I purchased P/N 2198597 and installed it about 16 hours ago. I do not know how to get a cycle to start. The icemaker has not filled with water. The old icemaker was working but on it's own terms. I know it can fill with water because I have seen it work recently.
1 Answer Gzimmer, To manually cycle this ice maker remover front cover of ice maker and run a jumper wire from t to h.Remove after cycle starts and you here a click maybe a little less than a quarter turn and it should cycle. Read More...
Don S August 01, 2018 for Model Number ED5HVAXVL01 I need a new ice maker but also need a new ice storage bin. the bin will not seat properly on the door base. Is there a part number and cost for a new one or do you suggest how to seat the bin properly. The turning shaft does not fit into the recepitical properly
1 Answer Don, The shaft that goes to the ice bin on the door may have risen up a little if the bin was difficult to take off. You will want to try to tap down on the shaft about a 1/4" or so in order to get it to seat properly. Read More...
