Malcolm April 02, 2017 for Model Number ED2FHEXVS03 How long does it take the Ice maker to cycle and how does the water to ice maker solenoid get its signal to open?
1 Answer Hello Malcolm. There is no set time for the icemaker cycle. On average, a cycle is 2-3 minutes and the fill time is 5 to 7 seconds. The icemaker sends the power to the valve. Read More...
Rose January 18, 2017 for Model Number Kenmore Refrigerator Model 10656713500 The Icemaker produces ice however the ice will not dispense through the dispenser. Was told to get an Argomotor but have not found anything with that name
1 Answer Rose, That would be the "auger" motor, WP2252130 / WP2252130, that's the motor that stirs the cubes and turns the auger shaft to dispense the cubes or crushed ice. It's a very good likelihood the motor has failed or the wiring connection(s) have come loose. You'll need to remove the dispenser facade and controls in order to access the motor. Read More...

Andrew November 21, 2016 for Model Number GD5RHAXNB00 Hello i have a whirlpool gd5rhaxnb00 with an ice maker. The optics are fine, i replaced the control module, it did not produce ice for 16 hours. Unplugged the fridge for about 5 minutes, and jumped the motor. Everything seemed to work fine. The tines spun, seemed like the heater engaged, and it filled with water at the end. Now it will not eject the ice after 12 hours. Does this mean the thermostat needs to be replaced? Thank you for your help
1 Answer Andrew, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty thermostat on the icemaker of the unit. Read More...
Jack March 13, 2016 for Model Number WSF26C3EXW01 ICE MAKER JUST QUIT MAKING ICE ,WATER TO DOOR OK ,HOW DO I CHECK IF ITS THE MOTOR OR SOMETHING ELSE?
1 Answer Hello Jack. 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 Read More...

Stevem February 24, 2015 for Model Number GX5FHDXVY010 Ice maker stopped working one day. Checked the water valve and assumed it was broken since no water was allowed through. Bought and replaced, ice maker still broken. Arm is stuck in the upward position. what might be the problem?
1 Answer Steve, If the icemaker arm is stuck in the up position and will not come down then it sounds like the motor module on the icemaker has failed. The part number for the motor module for your unit is W10190935. Read More...
Connie December 25, 2014 for Model Number MSD2242VEW00 When the tray is filling with water, the waters goes into the ice bucket. What is causing that?
1 Answer Connie, You will want to check to make sure that the fill cup is not clogged with ice. This would be the most likely cause. Also check the icemaker mold is not deteriorating. If the fill cup is clogged then you will want to replace the water valve as this is the most likely cause for the issue. Read More...
