Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly (Part Number: OEM18113580)

Ian F for Model Number MFX2570AEM0

I was not able to find information anywhere, not with you, not with RepairClinic, not on YouTube, not with Maytag, etc., on how to remove my icemaker so that it could be serviced. I finally figured it out on my own, but am wondering if I did it properly. When pulling it out and pushing it back in, it has to be forced past the tip of the water inlet hose that extends down from the top of the refrigerator. This hose is exposed on the top of the exterior of the refrigerator and I'm wondering if that is supposed, somehow, to be pulled up a quarter of an inch so that the icemaker doesn't have to be forced past it. I have not been able to find any information anywhere.

Hello Ian. Yes, it has to be forced by it. This is the reason the tube is flexable.

Nick, It does sound like the thermostat on the icemaker is faulty in which case you would want to replace either the thermostat [627985] or replace the complete icemaker assembly. If just replacing the thermostat you will also need to order allumilastic WP4317852 which will go in between the thermostat and the icemaker mold.

Leo for Model Number G16FDRXXX07

I have a Whirlpool refrigerator that is only two years old. The ice maker was overfilling and causing my ice bucket to accumulate ice on the bottom. I replaced the ice maker and inlet valve and no water gets to the ice maker. The water in the door works fine. I poured some water into the ice maker and it cycled through and ejected the ice out. I took out the ice maker and held a blow drying at the fill tube for a few minutes and no water dripped out. Is there another piece that is left that I missed that shuts off the ice maker water supply?

1 Answer

Leo, Just by holding a hair drier at the fill tube for a couple of minutes does not necessarily mean that it is not clogged with ice. The ice could be further back. What you can do is access the water valve and disconnect the icemaker fill tube. Go to the top of the unit and take off the cover over the fill tube. Pull the fill tube out of position and then pull the tubing completely out to check to make sure that the fill tube is not frozen. If frozen then thaw and reinsert. There is a channel that it will slide through so will not be too difficult to reinstall. The other thing to check is the icemaker module. Check it to make sure that there are no burn marks on the back of the icemaker module.

Jennifer, in general (you forgot to include a model number for the refrigerator). you'll need to remove power to the refrigerator. Check and make sure the two mounting screws are in the holes in the ide wall, they need to be loose, but partially installed. Remove the cut out from the I/M fill cup, on the back of the ice maker. Normally you would install the I/M wiring harness, and plug it into the wall plug in the freezer. Then align the opening in the fill cup to the fill tube and slide the ice maker up enough to align the mounting screws with the top mounting tabs, and slide the ice maker down, and tighten the screws, slightly. Use a small level and make sure the ice maker is level, then tighten the mounting screws properly. A lot of refrigerators have a mounting bracket and screw, to support the front of the icemaker. Mount the bracket the bottom of the ice maker, then install the screw holding the bracket to the wall, Then tighten both screws evenly. Aligning the fill cup and fill tube can be a bit "tricky" but nothing you can't handle.

Andy for Model Number MFI2269VEM7

Hello. My ice machine has stopped producing ice. I still have water flowing to the door. How can I diagnose the source of the problem without just randomly replacing parts? This has happened in the past. It stopped, then started again all on it's own. But now it seems to have called it quits. I know how to remove bottom cover and slide unit out. What next? I do have a meter, though to be honest, I'm not savvy with it. Thanks for any input you can provide.

1 Answer

Hello Andy. 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

You press in on the plastic fittings and remove the water lines coming to the valve.

Hello Donnie, Loosen the two screws retaining the icemaker to the unit wall and slip the icemaker up and off of them, (sometimes the rear one will have to be completely removed because of a harness support). Remove the cover from the front of the icemaker and unplug the harness by depressing the white tab in the side of the icemaker module head. Re-install the new icemaker in the reverse order, making sure before tightening the two screws that the icemaker is bubble level from front to rear.

Hello Randall. To replace the icemaker on this unit, you will remove the ice bin. On the left wall at the bottom there is a cover. Use a small screwdriver in the little hole to release the cover. Once released you will then disconnect the harness and push the lever on the side of the icemaker and slide out. On the bottom of the assembly there are 3 screws that you remove to take icemaker off the assembly.
