Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker Control Module (Part Number: OEM13079091)

1 Answer

Tom, A faulty water solenoid wouldn't keep the ice maker from cycling. Power(120 vac) to the ice maker is supplied through the I/R sensor control boards W11629974. When you open the freezer door, look at the LED on the control on the right side of the opening. It should be on solid or not illuminated if the system is off, or in a harvest mode. If the LED is flashing, press in on the cover on the left side of the freezer compartment, the LED should be on , if it continues to flash, the control has failed and you'll need to replace the W11629974 Ice Level Power Control Board Kit.

Kimkats for Model Number Whirlpool Pratt 4317943

I replaced our old icemaker with this one, and while It makes ice, the cubes are about half sized. They are frozen solid. I have tried adjusting the fill time with the little white screw on the right side of the module, but it hasn't changed. When the unit goes to refill, you can hear that it isn't filling for anywhere near 7 seconds; more like 2 or 3. Do I need to replace the module on the unit? Is there something I can/should test first? Thanks

Hello Kimkats, While it is not possible to tell if you have the correct icemaker with no model number from your refrigerators' I.D. tag, I can tell you that the icemaker should cycle the water valve on for 6 to 7 seconds. It is also necessary to have enough water pressure, (50 to 120 PSI), to properly fill the icemaker in the allotted time. There could also be an issue with the water valve not opening sufficiently. For a more detailed diagnosis and correct part numbers needed to repair the unit, please post a new question with the model number from the units' I.D. tag. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Hello Cathy, This sounds more like an issue with the icemaker fan switch. The original part number was 3060130 but changed to a new number 7014651. I'm sorry but we do not have this part available since we do not have support information concerning the Sub Zero brand. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Hello Sturg62. It sounds like you have a temp issue in the unit. It should be 0 to 5° for the unit to cycle and freezer the water properly. If to cold, it will cause the issue your having.

Doug, You will want to pull the icemaker out and check the fill tube to see if it is frozen. If frozen then clear out the ice from it and replace the water valve.

Hello Mom. If the icemaker is overfilling, replace the water valve. However, if the icemaker is leaking, just replace the icemaker.

Hello Ted. 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. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
