Questions & Answers

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

Charles for Model Number GD2SHAXKT01

I ordered a control module from you all a while back. What is the little nylon adjustment screw that has a screw driver slot in it for? Talking to you all yesterday, I thought my level control module was bad, you said not, too much water coming in to icemaker. I ordered a water inlet valve from you all today. The one I had put on it was a cheap one and I think it may be not shutting off completely. I took ice maker out and it has no obstructions in it to hold the fingers to keep them from moving. Just wondering what the adjustment screw was for and if it controls water level, which way do you turn it for more or less. Still gonna replace water inlet valve anyway. Thank you for your help.

Hello Charles, and thank you for your question. If the water valve stopped receiving voltage after 9 seconds but continued to let water through, then the valve has failed. As for the nylon adjustment screw—it’s used to slightly adjust the size of the ice cubes. Turning the screw clockwise will decrease the cube size, while turning it counterclockwise will increase the size. Be sure to make only very small adjustments at a time.

Hello Tim, thank you for contacting AppliancePartsPros.com If replacing the ice maker module and the valve has not resolved the issue, go to the harness WP2187464 on the ice maker, disconnect it where it connects to the harness coming from the fridge itself. Use a multimeter to check resistance on the Tan and White wires going back into the fridge, you should read about 100-300 ohms resistance. This is your ice maker valve circuit. If the resistance value is present then either the ice maker harness or the ice maker module is bad. If the resistance is not present then either the valve is bad, the wiring through the unit is bad, or the harness 4389205 in the machine compartment is bad. Make sure the harness at the valve is connected. If the harness through the unit to the valve is bad or the harness in the machine compartment is bad, then there is no suggested repair as the harness through the unit is a non-serviceable component and the harness in the machine compartment is no longer available from the manufacturer.

Hello Tim and thank you for your question. Without knowing the model number of the appliance, the ice maker control module W10190935 can be tested to identify if there is 120 Volts AC when testing from terminal L to terminal N. This will identify if there is an electrical supply issue or something else. The ambient temperature of the ice maker section would also need to be verified as an ice maker will not harvest unless the actual temperature is less than 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

Claudio, if the filter is new, there is not a frozen or pinched water line, and 120VAC reaches the valve WPW10159842 when the water dispenser is pressed, the failure would be the valve.

Randy, Check for power to the water valve (120vac with a multimeter) during the ice maker cycle if there is no power to the valve during the ice maker cycling the ice maker is the issue. If you have power to the valve during the ice maker cycle you have either a frozen up fill tube or a bad water valve.

Mac, the ice maker harness will have the fuse attached to the back of the ice mold and it is in the middle of the black voltage supply wire of the ice maker WPW10190965.

Rob, Try taking an insulated jumper wire and putting it between the T and H on the motor module of the icemaker. The ends will need to be stripped about 1/4". If the motor does not rotate then check to make sure that there is power to the icemaker. There should be 120 vac from the M To N on the motor module. If there is not power then the fuse may be faulty on the wire harness.

Hello Liz, You should allow the icemaker 24 hours to make ice. Do not check on it every few minutes. Install it and check it tomorrow. This will allow everything to come down to temperature so the icemaker can properly cycle.
