I have an automatic ice maker and the tray seems covered with brownish calcified material that is chipping and getting into the ice cubes. How do I remove this material or should I replace the entire tray? If replacing, can I just replace this ice making part? The official Whirlpool part is a full kit, W11510803. Whirlpool does not sell just the ice maker. I see a different ice maker part on AP for Whirlpool also, AP6016628, which looks exactly like what I have. Will that work? Label under the cover of my current ice maker says 185W. 120V/60Hz. Appreciate your help!

Hello Lyn, there is no pump just a water valve, slow fill is usually a water pressure or water flow problem to the ref from the house's cold water plumbing, the ice maker needs a good flow of water with at least 35 psi pressure when filling, likely causes are low water pressure at the house or a self-piercing saddle water valve which is usually inadequate for proper ice maker operation. Just a quick note water pressure gauges are available at home improvement stores in the plumbing section.

Received our replacement ice maker and watched the install video which was very helpful. Following his directions we unplugged the refrigerator and took our the old ice maker with no issues. We then installed the new part and plugged in the refrigerator again. Following the installation manual that came with the part it noted how to start the ice maker. We have tried to rotate ejector fingers with light pressure in a clockwise direction BUT they do not move at all. Are we doing something wrong? Please address this asap as the new unit now has water in it and is freezing the ice. Than you

1 Answer

Sheryl, You will not want to try to rotate the fingers as this can damage the icemaker. After installing the part allow 24 hrs to make ice.
