Lu February 18, 2014 for Model Number Kbfs20etss00 Hi, I'm having trouble with my ice maker. It's fairly new, replaced about a year ago. Last month it started making loud noises while filling. Almost like popcorn popping but very loud. The ice cubes seem to be smaller than normal and now it won't fill at all. I took the refrigerator filter out, it started working again, still making noise but not as loud, and again it won't fill the ice tray. Can this be saved or do I have to buy another ice maker? Thank you. Lu
1 Answer Hello Lu, The smaller cubes are an indication that the water valve WP67006531 is failing. The water filter will have no bearing on the icemaker. The loud popping sounds like the mold heater in the icemaker is failing and the icemaker D7824706Q will have to be replaced to correct this part of the issue. Read More...
Jackie February 09, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool # GS6SHEXNBOO After a three day power failure the ice maker in our refrigerator/freezer makes ice but does not dispense it into the the different compartments on the door of freezer when pushed. Ice keeps building up in inner compartment. Once the power came back we did a major clean out of both freezer and refrigerator. Did we possibly hit something (a switch or whatever by mistake) while doing the clean out? The ice maker works but the shoot to the various(ice cubes, water, crushed ice) options does not work at all.
1 Answer Jackie, The dispenser door is mechanical and uses the lever to open up and would not have anything electrically wrong with it. If the motor WP2252130 of your dispenser is not tuning to dispense the ice then most likely the motor is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Billy September 17, 2013 for Model Number et21dmxdw04 My ice maker appears to be allowing water to overflow flow into the ice catcher bucket. Do I need to replace the ice maker, if so can you give me the part number and price or can you tell me how to repair it. I removed it already this morning and cant see anything obviously wrong. Billy G
1 Answer Hello Billy. If the icemaker is overfilling, replace the water valve. If it is leaking, replace the icemaker. Read More...
Dave May 03, 2013 for Model Number 10650509990 The thru the door water dispenser on my Kenmore side by side is dripping even when the arm is not depressed. Is part #AP 3131673 the most likely fix for this issue?
1 Answer Hello Dave. Based on the information you provided, you will need to replace the valve W10408179 on the unit. Read More...
Beth January 05, 2013 for Model Number SCD25TW P1190426WW I've replaced the harness, water inlet valve and icemaker. It looks like the icemaker is having trouble pushing the ice out. I can turn the frig off & back on and it resets and ejects the ice. I tried turning the tiny adjusting screw clockwise half a turn but the water level is still pretty high. It's an ice ejection factor more than anything. The new icemaker came with a new water fill cup.
1 Answer Hello Beth, If there is too much water pressure and overfilling the icemaker then the icemaker cannot turn enough to engage the heater. You will want to make sure that the icemaker is sitting level. If it is then you will want to try to regulate the pressure by closing off the water supply line a little. Read More...
Kent W November 25, 2012 for Model Number afd2535des My Ice maker seems to be leaking as we have a frozen blob in the ice maker every few days. Is there an "O ring" I can replace or do I need to replace the ice maker?
1 Answer Hello Kent, If the icemaker is leaking then the ice mold may be deteriorating and the icemaker would have to be replaced. There is no kind of O ring for the icemaker assembly D7824706Q. Read More...
Stephen G November 06, 2012 for Model Number CTF2125DR The ice maker on my magic chef works but drips towards the front and forms an icicle. Do I need a whole new unit or just a part.
1 Answer Hello Stephen, You can not get individual parts for this icemaker D7824706Q. It sounds like the mold is deteriorating which is causing the leaking issue. Read More...

Robert July 02, 2012 for Model Number AP3131673 How do I replace the bearing (AP3131673). I have pulled the ice maker from the freezer. Do I pry up on bearing end of ejector then slide off of ejector?
1 Answer Hello Robert, The front cover of the ice maker just snaps on, so snap it off. You will see three Phillips head screws which should be removed. Once removed, pull the motor module, (tan plastic part with the big geared wheel on it), off and you will see two larger Phillips head screws down in recessed holes. When they are removed, this frees the harvest rake so you can pull it back and replace the bearing (fill funnel assembly). Be sure when you are re-assembling the ice maker assembly, that the grey material on the back side of the thermostat is reinstalled. This stuff is called thermal mastic and the thermostat will never cycle properly without it. Therefore, if you see any larger "chunks" of it, retrieve them and stick them on the end of the cycling thermostat so it is pinched between the ice mold and the thermostat. Complete the re-assembly in reverse of the dis-assembly. Read More...
