Lesa June 02, 2017 for Model Number KBF042FTX03 I believe the water line to my icemaker is frozen. Short of turning off the entire refrigerator is there a way to defrost the water line?
1 Answer Lesa, With the location of the fill tube and ice maker, you'll need to open the drawer and remove the upper baskets, or remove the drawer. Use a blow dryer and very carefully circulate the hot air around and over the fill tube. (Don't overheat the area, you can create larger problems). If the fill tube is frozen, you'll want to replace the water inlet/fill valve WP2307650 most of the time a frozen fill tube is due to a fill valve that doesn't seal completely and drips water into the tube, causing it to freeze.

Bill May 30, 2017 for Model Number gs6n3exr I have replaced the water inlet valve, the ice maker and the emiter boards and still no water into the ice maker.
1 Answer Hello Bill. You will need to check and see if your fill tube is frozen and blocking the water. Also check all you wiring if the fill tube is clear. Read More...
Dwade May 16, 2017 for Model Number ED5LHAXMB10 My ice maker was producing ice in the ice maker assembly try but it was not dispensing ice into the bucket in the door. I got a new ice maker assembly from this website. Very nice site & great pricing. Anyway, I replaced the ice maker assembly & now I don't ice at all. It's almost as if the water isn't running. I was careful to make certain the black rubber hose on the right side of the ceiling was dropped into the ice maker assembly. It made ice before replacing. In fact, I had to remove ice cubes from the original ice maker. Could I have done anything wrong during replacement? Any tips?? Thank you!
1 Answer Dwade, When initially installing the icemaker you have to give the unit several hours to start producing ice. If it still has not produced then check the emitter board. When you open the door, on the right side there will be a flashing light. If you then push the flap on the left wall the light should glow solid. If it is not glowing solid but continues to blink then this will be a faulty emitter board which will need replaced. The part number for this board is W11629974. Read More...
Jule March 30, 2017 for Model Number GD5RVAXVB00 I received the new ice maker. There is a note that says I will need to remove the bracket from my old ice maker? What bracket? I can not slide the new unit in as the rubber fill hose prevents it from going in. It is part number AP3182733. I'm going nuts!
1 Answer Jule, The bracket is the white piece that the icemaker sits on. As for the tub if you bend the tube up to get it over into the fill cup then this will take care of that issue. Read More...
Steve March 08, 2017 for Model Number 106.53609201 Ice maker is silent and not making ice. Ice control light blinks twice when door is open and remains solid red when flap is closed. What does it mean? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Steve, This indicates there is not an issue with the optics and you should look at the icemaker or water valve as the cause of the issue. If the icemaker stopped full of ice, the icemaker 2198597 should be replaced. If it stopped empty, the water valve W10408179 is normally the cause. Read More...
Vicky March 01, 2017 for Model Number kenmore 10658023800 we change the icemaker assembly with part 32198597 whirlpool which they said was compatible . its got ice in it but wont do nothing.
1 Answer Hello Vicky. 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 Read More...
Dottie January 14, 2017 for Model Number GS6SHAXKB01 Is this the correct replacement ice maker assembly for my Whirlpool refrigerator? The Compatibility Tool says it is not, but I can't find a complete ice maker assembly in the list of parts for my model found through the model number link shown in the "sorry" response. If this is not the correct part, could you please direct me to the right one? Thanks.
1 Answer Dottie, Yes this issue will be the correct complete icemaker 2198597 for this unit. Read More...
John December 19, 2016 for Model Number KSCS25FVMS My mom recently emptied her bucket to put ice in a cooler. She replaced the bucket but now the ice maker will not longer dump the ice. She says the ice has formed but will not dump. Is there a "switch" that the bucket needs to tripped before the ice gets dumped? Thanks, John
1 Answer Hello John. There is a little flap on the inside wall that says on and off. Make sure that is turned to on. if not, it will not make ice. Read More...
Star October 27, 2016 for Model Number 106.57782704 Our ice maker is working but when our ice melts we have several pieces of small plastic is our glass. It is definitely coming from the ice maker. Is there a recall on these ice makers ?
1 Answer Star, We are unaware of any recalls on these icemakers and you would want to check for broken parts on the ice bin just to make sure that it is not damaged. Read More...
