G.E. November 26, 2012 for Model Number don't know Hello, I havew a Kenmore side by side and the water is not filling the ice tray when the ice maker goes through cycle. I jumped the valve at the module and it opened. What else could it be?
1 Answer Hello G.E., If the fill tube isn't frozen up and the water valve operates when energized, the issue has to be in the ice maker. You see, the ice maker tells the water valve when to open and when to close by the use of a thermostat that monitors the cube temperature and a couple of sets of contacts that energize the water inlet valve. From the description of your problem, the ice maker motor module or the complete ice maker assembly will require replacement to restore the units' normal operation. This is, of course, a general description of the ice makers' operation.Without the model number, there is no way to go into detail or list any part numbers since all parts in the appliance industry are model specific.

Chet November 24, 2012 for Model Number 106.56734600 Water leaks onto the floor every 2-3 days on the freezer side. Is this from the water filter or is there a washer that needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Chet, please check your evaporator drain trough or the drain tube for a blockage. When the unit enters defrost it melts the frost build up on the evaporator and the water should run down the trough and tube to the drain pan at the bottom of the unit. If there is a blockage, the water could be running elsewhere. Hope this helps! Read More...

Sam October 24, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool refrigerator with ice maker in freezer compartment The ice maker stopped working altogether. I removed the ice maker from the freezer and I tried to turn the wheel on the front which turns the blades, but the blades would not turn at all. I removed the housing which is the function for the gear and the gear still can not be turned by hand. I am thinking I need to replace this part, IM #S 106 626633, am I correct in my amateur diagnosis? Thank you for your help. sam
1 Answer Sam, You may want to re install and test the ice maker again. Hopefully you didn't damage anything by accident. You'll need to get a short length of 14 guage insulated wire, and remove 1/2 inch of insulation from both ends of the wire. Tape the freezer door switch closed, insert one end of the jumper wire into the "T" and the other in the "H" openings, and hold it there until the main gear starts to rotate, then remove it, and allow the ice maker to advance through the cycle. Please supply a model number on your next post, it will help to properly assist you. Read More...
Carole September 13, 2012 for Model Number 106 9530211 Kenmore We ordered AP4360346 and installed it. Freezer is at zero degrees and no water was coming into the icemaker, so we forced a cycle with a jump wire. Water flowed, then stopped when the wire was removed ~ we repeated this several times. Do I need to make a water fill adjustment and if so, which direction increases the fill?
1 Answer Hello Carole, The ice maker fill adjustment screw can only be turned 1 turn in either direction. Turning the adjustment screw further than this will damage the ice maker control module. #/4 of a turn will only change the fill by 10cc, which isn't enough to make any difference. You probably have a bad fill valve WP2315576. Read More...

Larry July 24, 2012 for Model Number 106.53606201 This refrigerator has the ice auger in the door with the ice level sensor beam. Will part number AP4360346 be the correct icemaker? Thanks for your help.

Gail D. May 27, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore Frig 53562201 The ice maker never stops making ice, even when turned OFF. It fills the bucket then the freezer compartment. How do I repair?
1 Answer Hello Gail. If the icemaker is making ice in the off position, you will need to replace the icemaker WPW10190965 in the unit. Read More...
Martin May 14, 2012 for Model Number TS25AFXKQ03 I installed a new ice maker. That went pretty easy: three screws and a wiring harness. I changed the water filter and purged the line for five minutes. Still no ice. Now what?
1 Answer Hello Martin, If the unit never filled with water, I would change the water inlet valve W10408179. I would try forcing a cycle and see if it fills with water. (Force a cycle by using an insulated piece of wire to jump the 120Vac from T to H). If it does, you should take the freezer temperature to make sure the unit is achieving temperatures. The freezer should run between 0° and 10°F without dropping below 0°F. If it doesn't fill with water, the water inlet valve has failed or the fill tube is frozen up. If the fill tube is frozen up, the water inlet valve replacement will cure this issue. You will still have to thaw the fill tube out with a hair dryer. Read More...
