Rich January 24, 2019 for Model Number Kenmore 10651133213 The ice maker quit making ice. The bail arm would not return to "on" (frozen in the up position ... "off"). No water enters the tray and when I removed the ice maker for closer inspection the tray was dry. This seems to point to a defective ice maker, but I didn't want to replace a good part, i.e. an upstream electrical problem. What can I do to test for it being an electrical problem?
1 Answer Rich, For this issue the arm should be in the up position and only moves down when the icemaker cycles. With the icemaker not cycling it would be recommended to check to see if the emitter board is working. Check to see if the light is flashing when the flapper is pushed. If it is then see how it is flashing and check that with the tech sheet. Read More...
Chris October 21, 2018 for Model Number WRS571CIDM01 No power coming from 8 pin connector or control board for ice maker ? bad control board ?
1 Answer Chris, If there is no power coming from the control board to the icemaker then this would be a faulty control board. Read More...
Rob June 18, 2018 for Model Number Kenmore cold spot 106.511133213 Not really a question. Just to let anyone else know that my ice maker stopped working. Only 1 year 9 months old. It was not dumping ice. It got water to the tray. I pulled it out inspected it and could not get the arm to come down, or the little motor to turn. Reinstalled it and it made one batch then started over filling the water and it started running out the dispenser onto the floor. Got this new ice maker part # AP6026347 installed it, took less than 10 mins to install. 24-26 hours later I had a full bin of ice. My only concern is it seems to have gone past the full capacity line on the ice bin. Hopefully its smart enough to know to stop until capacity drops. I did not want to use any ice until I new it was working as normal. Thanks. R
1 Answer Rob, It would be recommended if the bin is filling too much to make sure that you have gotten the bail arm installed properly on the back of the icemaker head. if not then it will cause the unit to not think it is full. Read More...
Larry June 04, 2018 for Model Number W10873791 Is there a diagnostic jump for this ice maker to cycle it like every other ice maker in the world? I have no function at the ice maker at all. No water, no motion, no ice. The solenoids check out fine but nothing is triggering the system. Should there be voltage from the black/red wires at all times? Because I have no voltage. Does that mean the main control board in the back of the refrigerator is bad? There is no documentation/schematics on this ice maker anywhere. The fridge is #106.51133213 and less then two years old.
1 Answer Larry, You would want to look under the kickplate and under the front of the unit to locate the tech sheet which will have the information on putting the icemaker into a harvest mode. We would need the model number to send this information to you. Read More...
Robert April 30, 2018 for Model Number Wrs576fidb01 Follow up on icemaker issue, w10873791. With safety switches closed, I still have no power from blk/red at 8 pin connector, is it possible a failure at board? Does it have any icemaker function? There's no schematic online or on any threads on this refrig. Really no info on this model anywhere? Thx again Robert
1 Answer Robert, If there is no power to the icemaker then you will want to make sure that the on off switch is not bad. If this checks ok then the control board will be the issue. Read More...
Robert April 30, 2018 for Model Number Wrs576fidb01 Customer had 7 service calls on the ice maker as well as 2 new icemakers installed. This one will not harvest after manually filling tray. The bin switch is on, checked safety switch, ok. Cannot figure out on the multi pin connector where the 12V power source comes in? Icemaker w10873791 thx, Robert
1 Answer Hello Robert. Blue and yellow is the on and off switch, white and red side by side are the icemaker motor, and the 2 white side by side are the sensor. Read More...
Bob T April 15, 2018 for Model Number Wrs571cidm01 Hi, my ice maker won't turn over and dump the cubes. The fill tube functions and pores water on top of the already frozen cubes, which causes water to drain through the dispenser and onto the floor. First thing i tried was checking water pressure. We have good, solid pressure. Then i replaced the ice maker/water dispenser valve just in case the original had failed. Still has the same symptom. I've got the freezer temp set at 3 degrees F and place a digital thermometer in the freezer to check it. I'm wondering if perhaps the ice tray motor is bad and if i should replace the assembly? Also, what is the function of the small rubber tube under the cube tray that comes out of the motor housing?
1 Answer Bob, For this issue you would want to replace the icemaker on the unit as it will be the most likely cause for this issue. Read More...
