Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly (Part Number: OEM18079050)

1 Answer

SL, the ice maker W10873791 tray would need to be inspected for any cracks that may be allowing water to leak through to the ice bin. As there are only some of the cubes becoming hollow, it would also be recommended that the fill tube is checked for any ice accumulation that may be causing the water to not fill properly.

Jake, Check and make sure the ice maker fill tub is in place properly and that the ice maker is not overfilling.

Jake, It sounds like the icemaker is overfilling with water which would be a water valve issue.

Joe, If the unit is working in the service mode but not the normal ice making then this would most likely be the control board that is faulty.

Sara, the ice maker WPW10300022 would need to be tested for 120VAC from the black wire to the white wire using a multimeter. If there is voltage present, the ice maker has failed and would need to be replaced.

Whirlpool, There is a tech sheet under the unit that you will want to take out and put the unit into a service diagnostic mode. In the service mode you can check to see if the icemaker will cycle and fill up with water. If it will then the issue will be either the emitter or receiver board that is faulty. If it will not then it will most likely be a faulty icemaker.

Jj for Model Number MSS26C6MFW01

I have a Maytag MSS26C6MFW01. A few weeks ago the ice maker started working sporadically. I started with the easiest possibility and replaced the ice maker. That did not solve the problem. A Q&A here made me check the wiring under the door hinge and sure enough there are 3 (!) broken wires. There's not enough room in that area to put 3 butt splices in place, so I'm wondering if it is possible to replace the wiring harness. I'm not finding it in the parts diagram. Is one available? Or must I replace the entire door?

1 Answer

Matt, If you look under the unit there is a tech sheet. Using the tech sheet you can test the icemaker, water valve and the emitter and receiver board to see if they are working properly.
