1 Answer Manly, some ice melting is normal, especially if the cubes are left in the unit too long, there is an issue with the door seal/gasket, or environment/installation. There could also be an issue with the water supply to the machine. But at this point, it not likely a control board issue. Read More...
Greg H January 10, 2013 for Model Number zdis15cssn Hello, my ice machine turns on and water solenoid turns on and reservoir fills. It then overflows and stops a few minutes later. The machine made 2 bathes of ice and quite and went into filling the reservoir to overflow and thats it. Ice is very cloudy. Nothing happens from that point on. When in cleaning cycle the circulation pump will turn on and work. Is the circuit board the problem. Thanks, Greg
1 Answer Hello Greg, You will want to check both your bin thermostat and the evaporator thermistor. Both should read at 10K ohms at 77 degrees. If either checks bad then you will need to replace the thermistor. If these check ok then you would want to replace the control board. Read More...
Jim December 21, 2012 for Model Number KUIS18NNJB8 Water fills in the reservoir pan but it appears the water never makes it to the ice plate to make the ice. No ice being made. Any suggestions would be appreciated?
1 Answer Hello Jim! Here is a link to our free repair forum that will help you determine if it is the icemaker or valve. Thanks! http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/refrigerator-freezer-repair/253987-ice-maker.html Read More...
James J November 26, 2012 for Model Number KUIS18nnjw6 Is the wiring harness available that goes from the control panal to the place where the it hooks to the water pump harness? The pictorial shows the wiring but no part number.
1 Answer Hello James, The wiring harness2313636 will include the power cord, the harness that goes to water valve, reversing valve, condenser motor, compressor up to the circulation pump and then to control board. If you need the one from control board to the connector for the pump to plug into this is the harness needed. Read More...
John H November 13, 2012 for Model Number KUIS18NNJS5 My condensor fanstops during the ice making mode. I replaced the fan motor and it worked for a few days then went back to a very warm condensor. Any suggestion as to what may be happening.
1 Answer Hello John, The condenser fan would either have a loose connection, damaged wires or the control board WP2304016 is causing not to operate properly. Check all connections and wiring from fan to control board. If this checks ok then you would need to replace control board. Read More...
Rick October 09, 2012 for Model Number KUIS18NNJW8 The machine will make one or two plates of ice but then during the harvest cycle the cleaning light comes on flashing at 1 second intervals. I have changed the control board.

Tom September 28, 2012 for Model Number KUIA15NRHS6 My ice maker is running too much water into the water reservoir and it is draining into the overflow causing the water drain to run continuosly. The water will run sometimes for 20-30 minutes. Eventually it stops and makes ice, but every now and again it starts the long continuous water run again interupting the cooling of the water for the making of the ice.
1 Answer Hello Tom, As long as you have adequate water pressure to the water inlet valve, you will need to replace the water inlet valve W10801996. Read More...
Bob September 24, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpooll 15" floor standing ice maker See my question and your answers at the top of this page. What is happening now is that the slab of ice is not releasing all the time. I have cleaned this unit maybe 6 times. Can a use a more concentrated cleaning solution on the freezing plate.. I'm using 6 oz of concentrate to three16 oz bottles of water. Thanks for your help. Bob
1 Answer Hello Bob, If the ice isn't releasing from the evaporator and you have cleaned the unit this many times, the only explanation is the reversing valve has to be sticking or completely failed. You see, the reversing valve reverses the operation of the sealed system. In other words, when the reversing valve is energized, the cold coils become the hot coils and the hot coils become the cold. This melts the block of ice free from the evaporator and it slides down onto the heater grid. Unfortunately, this is a component of the sealed system and federal law dictates that a freon certified technician has to perform the repair as per the freon handling laws. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Jeff. You can try the cleaner, but it still sounds like the unit may have a sealed system issue. Read More...
Jeff 1 August 21, 2012 for Model Number ZDI15CBBN ANSWER TO PREVIOUS QUESTION TO CHECK COMPRESSOR 1. YES COMPRESSOR IS RUNNING WHEN I TURN ON THE UNIT IT GOES THROUGH THE PROPER OPERATING SEQUENCE 1. iNLET VELVE OPENS ALOWWING WATER INTO THE BIN 2. WATER PUMP OPENS ALOWING WATER TO PASS OVER FREEEZING PLATE 3. WATER NEVER FREEZES TO FORM SLAB OF ICE 4. COMPRESSOR IS RUNNING 5. CONDENSOR IS FREE OF ALL DEBRIS 6. CONDENSOR FAN IS RUNNING JUST FINE TOO THOUGHS - PLEASE RESPOND ASAP
1 Answer Hello Jeff. It sounds like you need an HVAC tech to perform a sealed system repair on the unit. Either it is restricted or has a freon leak. Read More...
