Anna January 03, 2026 Ice maker on Whirlpool french-door style fridge stopped working so I ordered part 8201515 and replaced the motor unit. Then the ice maker would successfully make 1 cycle of ice and then stop, with the wire arm in a downward angle but not fully down. If I push the wire arm fully back down manually (while pushing the door switch off), then the cycle will start again successfully. If I completely remove the wire arm, the ice maker cycles continuously. So I suspect something with the wire arm mechanism. Is it possible the wire arm is misshapen and needs to be replaced? It looks ok to the eye but maybe is slightly bent.
1 Answer Hello Anna, thank you for contacting AppliancePartsPros.com This may not be the correct ice maker for your model, please resubmit this question with the model # of your appliance so that we may better research this for you. Read More...
Darryl September 18, 2025 for Model Number 10655242400 Ice maker quit working. We have changed the icemaker and valve. Still no ice being made. Discovered there is no power going to the valve
1 Answer Darryl, thank you for your question. Check the wiring to the valve from the ice maker. Also check for power out of the ice maker to the valve. Read More...
Brian August 04, 2025 for Model Number WRS526SIAE00 Ice maker stopped producing ice. I replaced the icemaker motor module. This "fix" produced ice and worked for about 2 weeks. The ice maker stopped producing again. Any direction on the next step ? Also, I left the water on - but I then disconnected to coupler at the bottom of the freezer door to verify water was getting to the ice maker - and it is.
1 Answer Hello Brian, thank you for contacting AppliancePartsPros.com Access the icemaker and get it out to where you can remove the cover from the motor module. Tape the door switch down and make sure the ice ON/OFF switch is in the ON position with the ice bin in place or the ice bin switch taped down so that it sees the ice bin in place. Take a voltage reading from ports L-N on the icemaker head. This should be about 120v AC. If this is present, you've either got a bad ice maker motor module 8201515, or an issue between the icemaker and the fill valve WPW10341320. This could be the harness W10242384 for the icemaker, the harness in the door LW10334261, the non-serviceable harness to the door, or the valve itself. The valve circuit should read about 100-300 ohms roughly, if that's good then the icemaker module is bad. You can check Tan-White on the icemaker harness with it disconnected for that value and trace back from there if it isn't present. If voltage is not present L-N, then you have an issue getting power to the icemaker, in which case you will need to back track and figure out where power is being lost or what is causing it. This could be the harness W10242384 for the icemaker, the harness in the door LW10334261, the non-serviceable harness to the door, the control board W11088499, the ice bin switch W11123943, door switch W11396033, or a bad ice level sensor emitter W11813704 and receiver W10870822 or harness W10411699.

Jaime December 19, 2024 for Model Number ED5FVGXWS07 I have a Whirlpool refrigerator model ED5FVGXWS07, which suddenly stopped making ice. The refrigerator and freezer cool and freeze perfectly. I proceeded to change the hose from the valve to the inlet of the ice maker, new filter, new water valve, there is excellent water supply, new Icemaker motor kit and the new cycling thermostat. 1. First Question: When I turn on the power, the ice machine motor wheel spins, the 8 ice compartment fills with water, and that's it, it doesn't do anything else. That is, it does not throw frozen ice into the ice container. I would like to know what else I can review. 2. Second Question: How long time take de cycle, between fill the water in the compartiment and eject the ice. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Jaime, thank you for contacting Appliance Parts Pros. Make sure the automatic shutoff/bail arm on the ice maker is in the down position and that the actual temperature in the freezer is 8°F or less. If both of these are correct, I recommend replacing the Ice Maker Assembly WPW10190965 WPW10190965. The manufacturer has not supplied cycle times for the ice maker other than to state that it may take up to 24 hours to make the first batch of ice after install. Read More...
Jeff November 30, 2024 for Model Number whirlpool wrs325dab02 when I jumped l and v to test water it arced and tripped breaker. Also it continues to cycle. Never stops. That is telling me that the module is bad correct???
1 Answer Jeff, it sounds like contacts fused in the motor module 8201515 and it would need to be replaced. Read More...
Adam Breitwieser August 08, 2024 for Model Number MFI2665XEM0 The ice tray will turn into a sheet of ice, then the water drips out of the ice dispenser. Water will fill up the tray under the ice and water dispenser. I pulled the tray out and cleaned all the frozen ice out. Then reinstalled the tray. After a while it froze again a solid sheet of ice and started dripping out of the ice dispenser door again.
1 Answer Adam, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty water valve that would need to be replaced. Read More...
William February 13, 2024 for Model Number ED2CHQXKB05 I initiated N L to cycle the unit. It started from what I remember it was in the 6 o'clock position. It stopped at the 8 o clock I put the jumper back but nothing. I could hear it at time making a noise grinding or rattling. No water and I have checked most ports Motor Heater ohmic values were good. So I replace the module 2 years back. If you could give me some help I would appreciate it. again no response when trying to start just st the 8 o'clock position.I was going to order a module but wanted to run in by you thanks for your help William
1 Answer William, To start a ice maker cycle you will jump out T and H. Door switch needs to be closed [use tape if needed]. L and N is where you can check the voltage supply to the ice maker. Read More...
Doug February 12, 2024 for Model Number ED5GTGXNQ00 My ice maker is making ice, but it doesn't seem to eject it and start a new tray as fast as I would think. It seems like the ice is frozen and in the unit for a LONG time before it's ejected into the ice bin. Is there a way to make that part move faster? Or does it just sense when the ice is frozen? I can see two places for adjustment on the control module, but don't know what they do or how much to adjust them. Thanks for any help.
1 Answer Doug, The start of the ejection is controlled by the temperature, make sure the temperature is between 0 & 8°f for proper operation. If the temperature is not in range then the issue is a cooling issue and not an ice maker issue. Read More...
Rob January 11, 2024 for Model Number #WRF540CWHB The sensor arm no longer "clicks" when moved up so our ice maker is always on. Is the switch replaceable or do we need to replace the whole unit? thank you
1 Answer Rob, unfortunately, the switch is not replaceable separately from the icemaker W10884390. Read More...
Rob January 08, 2024 We have an approximately five-year-old whirlpool refrigerator/freezer, French doors on top with the freezer drawer on the bottom. Icemaker and tray in the freezer drawer. Something got jammed in the ice tray ( since removed ) and now the maker will not stop making ice. The lever moves but no longer “clicks”. Is there a reset or do we need to replace the whole unit?
1 Answer Rob, We will need your model number to help you find the right parts for your unit. Please post another question with all your info included thank you. Read More...
