John C December 03, 2013 for Model Number KSRB25QWXH00 Water not getting to ice maker, I recently repaired water intake leak.
1 Answer Hello John. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Cindy. October 31, 2013 I have replaced my water intake valve and the ice maker module but still no go. I get nothing when I try the wire test. I dont think its getting power. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Cindy. You will need to check the wiring going to the icemaker module and make sure the fuse in the harness is not bad. Read More...
Charles Q. September 25, 2013 for Model Number MBF2258XEB4 I think from the ice maker I find frozen water on bottom of the freezer. This will happen every 3 or 4 days. There is no water in the ice bin. It makes ice ok. thank for your help CHARLES
1 Answer Hello Charles, This is most likely a frozen defrost drain. Remove the rear cover from the freezer compartment and use a hair dryer to get the ice build-up from the drain area. Once the ice is removed, use a piece of weedeater line to chase the drain. Once hot water that you pour into the drain willl drain into the defrost pan from the area, put one tablespoon of white vinegar into the drain to kill any bacteria that may be causing algae to form.

Mary September 21, 2013 for Model Number ksrs25qaal10 Water flow to icemaker ok. I jumped T to H on control module. The ice maker filled with water and ejected cubes. It will not repeat the cycle on its' own. Is this a control module problem or the thermostat?
2 Answers Mary, When you jumped T to H, this bypasses the thermostat to allow the icemaker to cycle. The issue would be a faulty thermostat rather than a control module issue. The icemaker thermostat is part number WP627985 and you would also want alumilastic cement WP4317852 which would need a small drop applied to the side of the thermostat that meets up with the icemaker mold.

2 Answers Hello Mary, Since jumping "T" to "H" is bypassing the ice maker thermostat WP627985, this would be the reason the ice maker will not cycle on its' own. Be sure to put thermal mastic on it so the temperature will be properly transfered to the thermostat. Thermal mastic is another name for what Whirlpool calls alumilastic cement WP4317852.

Brian September 20, 2013 for Model Number KSSS36QKX01 Water started pouring out the bottom of the freezer door last night. The water subsided, but just in case, i turned off the ice maker by rasing the arm. Now the icemaker is not filling up with water. It's been over 24 hours since this happened. Do I have an icemaker control module issue or water inlet valve issue?? If it is a water inlet valve issue, how do you change it on this model??
1 Answer Hello Brian. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles.

Mike August 30, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore elite side by side I don't need the entire module just the gear and retaining piece. Is that sold separately?
Ron D August 22, 2013 for Model Number KSRS25QAWH01 The icemaker had water running out the front of the tray. We shut off the waterline going to the frig. Later i turned the water back on and there is no leak but the ice maker is not filling up with water nor the prongs move to produce any ice. I don't know if its the control module or the ice maker valve in the rear of the frig. Thank you for any assistance.
1 Answer Ron, Because the icemaker overfilled, the icemaker will not eject the ice. You will need to remove the icemaker and clear the ice out because the fingers cannot rotate enough to turn on the heater to allow the ice to eject from the mold. Once this is done then you will want to cycle the icemaker and check to see if the same situation happens again. It sounds like it could be the valve sticking open. Read More...
Norman August 07, 2013 for Model Number GB2FHDXWQ02 I have a Whirlpool Refrigerator with a Bottom Freezer. The Ice maker makes Ice but I am getting water in the bottom of the freezer. I have watched several cycles and I haven't seen the water coming in. I am not getting water into the Ice catch bucket. What do I need to replace?
