Bw January 13, 2015 for Model Number kitchenaid kuia15nrhs6 ice maker I have a Kitchenaid icemaker (KUIA15NRHS6). It is about ten years old. Icemaker was working great until two days ago. Starting making horrible noise and stopped making ice cubes. I took the cover off and noticed a sheet of ice on the grid. There is one wire broken on the grid. Would the one wire that is broken prevent the entire grid from cutting the ice? Thus, would replacing the grid assembly correct the problem? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello BW. Yes, if the wire is broken, the grid cutter will need to be replaced. Read More...

Luther W April 18, 2013 for Model Number Kitchenaid KUIS18NNJW4 Kitchenaid KUIS18NNJW4 Unit makes ice sheet which continues to build up and fails to slide on to wire cutting grid. It continues to build ice till with more ice sheet thickness. The flow of circulating water is blocked causing it to spill over and out of the water reservoir letting the recirculating pump run dry. What triggers the ice sheet to slide on to the cutting grid?? Any help for this problem??
1 Answer Luther, There is a thermistor that is located on the bottom of the evaporator that senses the thickness of ice and should allow the ice to drop down to the cutter grid. You will want to check this sensor to make sure that it is not bad. You should also run a clean cycle to make sure that there is not mineral build up on the evaporator. Read More...
Allen June 27, 2012 for Model Number kenmore model 87482 This ice maker appears to be producing ice ok. However when the slab of ice slides down to the grid only one set of wires seem to be heating up. is this possible and will a new grid correct this problem. part no ap3859445
1 Answer Hello Allen. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the grid cutter WP2313637 is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...

Charlie March 01, 2012 for Model Number ZDII5CBBN Water reservoir will not refill after one cycle. One wire appears to be broken on grid. Will a broken wire cause the refill cycle to stop? Makes a slab of ice but will not cut into cubes.
1 Answer Hello Charlie. If the unit fills, freezes, and drops the ice in the first cycle, but does not refill or cut the ice, you may have 2 issues. The first is the float located in the pump WP2217220 and then the heater cutter 4387020. Test for power to the water valve from the control board on refill if the float is working in the pump. If there is no power, replace the control board WP2304016. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
D J Walker December 10, 2011 for Model Number KUIS15NRTSO Is Cutter grid for Whirlpool the same for Kitchen Aide Model listed?
Michael June 17, 2011 for Model Number kuis15prhb7 Machine is not making alot of ice. Water is circulating and the ice sheet seems to be freezing well enough. The ice is sitting on the cutter long enough to melt a little before falling into bin. Need a suggestion on which part needs replacing.
1 Answer Hello Michael. You will need to test the grid cutter WP2313637 and see if it is bad. It should read closed for continuity. If it is good, you may have a bad transformer WP2185657. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
