Steve January 13, 2021 for Model Number ET8CHMXKB02 Ice maker seems to leak only when lever is flipped on and leaks into ice bucket. seems to be getting worse. Would this be the fill. cup and bearing assy?
1 Answer Steve, it would be recommended that the fill cup WP628356 and the ice maker 4317943 fill tray are inspected for any cracks. If there are no cracks, then it would be likely that the ice maker is calling for too much water and overfilling. If this is the case, the ice maker would need to be replaced. Read More...
Joe Blow March 28, 2020 for Model Number 106.56983601 My water dispenser is outside on door, what causes water to leak out into the floor?
1 Answer Joe, In most cases, the reason for this is the water valve not sealing and water is slowly seeping through.W10408179 Another issue could be air in the lines, for example, if you replace your filter and don't purge the system. Read More...
Lani July 16, 2019 for Model Number 59672254202 Why would I have to remove the head (motor assembly) to replace the fill cup? Can't the fill cup be pulled off the other end and new one put on without disassembling other parts of the ice maker?
1 Answer Hello Lani, that is due to the design of the ice maker, the fill cup is held in place by the ice cube ejector bar which is held in place by the ice maker head assembly. Read More...
John July 07, 2017 for Model Number JRSD209A With the ice maker on, the fridge makes ice properly, however there is a leak somewhere I cannot find. Ice forms at the bottom of the freezer. If I clean the ice out and turn off the ice maker, then there is no build up of ice at the bottom of the freezer. I can't see any leak in or around the ice maker, but it goes through a flexible plastic wall at the back that I can't see around. Any clue where this is coming from? The only thought I had was the leak only occurs during the fill process which I have not witnessed.
1 Answer John, In most cases when you are getting water in the bottom of the freezer it would be caused by a clogged defrost drain tube so would recommend checking that. If this checks ok then it would most likely be an issue with the fill tube leaking when filling with ice. Read More...

John A. June 15, 2015 for Model Number amana model DRB 1801 AW It leaks water but makes ice great, but water continues to leak slowly and freezes solid in the tray with the cubes. what part do I need to purchase to fix? John
1 Answer John , The first part to check or replace is the water inlet valve W10833899 on the back of the refrigerator. If the valve seeps water it will trickle through the fill tube and make the ice cube tray overflow and freeze the cubes in the tray/bin. Read More...
Telly November 18, 2014 for Model Number MF12665XEN7 I have a refrigerator with a freezer at the bottom. What could cause a thick layer of ice to form at the bottom of the freezer? Every week I take everything out of the freezer in order to get an ice sheet that forms at the bottom floor. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Telly, This is an indication of either a stopped up defrost drain or a problem with the icemaker or water inlet valve. If your model number is actually MFI2665XEM7, you should check for lumps of ice in the ice bin. If none is there, the rear wall will need to be removed and the defrost drain thawed with a hair dryer. The drain should then be chased with a piece of weed eater line. Then put in one tablespoon of white vinegar to prevent algae formation. If there is lumps of ice in the ice bin you will need to verify good water pressure to the water valve. If this is good, the water valve is the first suspect but either the icemaker or the water valve can cause this issue. Read More...
Jim August 12, 2014 for Model Number Maytag MSD2655HES We recently noticed water in the bottom of the ice bin. After watching the ice maker cycle, I noticed water overflowing from the area around the fill cup assembly after the ice is ejected form the ice maker. Do I need a new fill cup or is something wrong with the water valve? If it's the water valve, what is the part number?
1 Answer Hello Jim. You need to check the hole in the bottom of the fill cup and see if the hole is clogged with ice. If so, clear it out and see if that resolves the issue. If the issue returns, replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Phil March 09, 2014 for Model Number rc224rd magic chef My ice maker will only work if I dump a glass of water in it. It will then make a batch of ice and that's it until you add a another glass of water? What would it be?
1 Answer Hello Phil, Sounds like the water valve 12001414 has failed. If this is the case the fill tube to the icemaker will normally be frozen up. If it is, thaw it out with a hair dryer. It is also possible that the icemaker D7824706Q could have a burned set of contacts and is not sending the voltage to the water valve but this is less likely. Read More...
