Questions & Answers

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

Karin for Model Number 55242400

I ordered a new control module for my Kenmore ice-maker. I am currently using it but had to remove the small piece that the baler hooks into it, as I was unable to remove it, not matter how I turned and twisted it. The goods news is the module fixed the problem; the bad news is that now it won't stop making ice even if the baler is up. I think it's because the existing piece is not properly hooked into the control module. This is difficult to determine because you have to go by "feel." I think it would be a quick fix if I could disengage the baler and start fresh. How do I get the baler disconnected? I watched the video and it looked really easy. Mine seems like it's glued in, just won't budge. This would otherwise have been an easy job.

Karin, You will want to pull the bale air off the fill cup first and then you will want to place your thumb at the front part of the bale are and push while wiggling the arm toward the back of the icemaker.

Dick, If the icemaker is not filling up enough then this would most likely not be a issue with the icemaker module. The icemaker will only call for water for about 7 seconds and you will want to make sure that there is a good water filter in the unit and if this is good then it sounds like a issue with the water valve.

Larry, Check to make sure that the fill tube is not frozen but this issue sounds like it would be caused by a faulty water valve on the unit.

Kevin, You will want to pull the icemaker out and check to make sure that the bail arm is in place on the back of the icemaker module properly. The other thing that would cause this would be a bad icemaker module causing this issue.

Dick, The most likely cause for the water to continue to run would be that the water valve stuck open causing water to continue to flow. The part that you would want to replace is the water valve.

Hello Tom. On the side of the model is a small white plastic screw. If you loosen it about a half round, it should reduce the water flow. If not, then you need to replace the icemaker.

Ed, Yes the issue would most likely be in the control module that is causing the unit to overflow the icemaker.
