Tom October 16, 2019 for Model Number MFI2269VEM10 I replaced both the water valve and the ice maker unit in this refrigerator, the replacement was because it was making ice but als running water into the bottom on the ice storage bin and freezing into a large chuck of ice. After replacing these items I still have the same problem and water dripping from the storage bin onto the outside tray. What do I need to do to make a repair? I also replaced all of the water filters at the same time. Thank you for any help you can provide.
1 Answer Tom, There would have to be a frozen fill tube where it sprays water instead of running water into the ice maker. Or possibly the rubber end on the fill tube is damaged. There really wouldn't be another explanation. Read More...
Craig October 03, 2019 for Model Number Mfi2665xem4 For the second time, moisture in the form of ice has collected behind cover over ice motor board causing a short at connection point to harness, so the board fries and the harness connector fries causing both the board and harness to be replaced. Your display a part called ice maker, does it have the motor board attached as shown? Plus the picture shows two harnesses, do both come with item?
1 Answer Craig, the ice maker W10882923 does have both wiring harnesses and the motor. In regards to the ice build-up, the door chute should be inspected for an air leak. Read More...
Walter South July 19, 2019 for Model Number WRX7355DBM03 Icemaker stopped working, then started working, but water would run onto the ice in the tray, and freeze solid.Is the ice cube tray not emptying completely. another thing that has happened from the gitgo, is the cubes don't break apart, then clog the chute to the dispenser. Do I need to replace the icemaker in this $1300. fridge?
1 Answer Hello Walter, it sounds like the water valve is allowing water to drip into the unit even when the icemaker is not needed any. You can verify this by looking to see if you can see it dripping in, hope this helps! Read More...
Kirk July 01, 2019 for Model Number MFX2570AEM3 I have been having an issue with the ice maker. About 2 months ago it stopped making ice. I changed out the ice maker and replaced wire harness as per the instructions. The ice maker worked for about a month then stopped again. I then used a jumper on T and H to test ice maker and it called for water and started making ice again but only for about 2 weeks, then stopped again. what am I missing here?
1 Answer Hello Kirk, for ice making here are the checks. Check if the left side refrigerator door is depressing the liner mounted interlock switch when the door is closed. Then check the temperature around the ice maker is staying below 15 deg and the ice fan behind it is running. If all checks ok then the part you jumped out T-H is the thermostat in the ice maker. It would indicate the thermostat is erratic. Read More...
Craig April 24, 2019 for Model Number Whirlpool WRX735SDHZ I have a Whirlpool WRX735SDHZ that I replaced the original ice maker after about 18 months when it stopped making ice. The replacement was another original (no wire harness) and that worked for about another year before ice production slowed to about 1-2 trays per day (rather suddenly). I purchased another ice maker, W10882923, that I had to replace it and the entire harness (Type B?). After install the ice production was still slow at about 2 trays per day. I have also replaced the water filter with no results. If I bring the freezer temp down to -5 instead of the recommended 0 degrees, I get some increase in production but not as it should be. Fridge and freezer temps are fine (my ice cream is rock solid). It is almost as if the fan stopped working and the cubes only freeze from residual cold though I feel cold air from the vent on the side of the unit inside the fridge.
1 Answer Craig, I'm sending you a service sheet. Follow directions to enter the service diagnostic mode and enter service test 37. This thermistor is in the ice box and could be reading false. Also do test 36 and feel if the air is moving in the ice box. Read More...
Alfredo Tinoco April 06, 2019 for Model Number wrx735dbm00 The ice maker was leading a repairman came and defrosted the ice maker but told me that of it happened again a would have to change the whole ice maker. Well it did so I was looking for the whole ice maker to replace the bad one. I´ve taken the old one out and it is quite simple, not sure about the water valve though
1 Answer Alfredo Tinoco, i would change out the icemaker first, there is a new kit for this model that comes with a newly designed icemaker and a wire harness. There have been some issues with this icemaker stalling out during the fill cycle and causing a over fill condition. Read More...
Eric March 30, 2019 for Model Number MFX2570AEM0 I'm having an issue with the ice maker on this Maytag refrigerator. The unit was intermittently making ice and now has stopped. The tray does not have any water in it. Is there a diagnostic test I can do to tell if the ice maker needs to be replaced or it's an issue with the valve (have attempted to defrost ice is not the issue). Also if the unit needs to be replaced my ice maker is part number w10377151 which looks to have been replaced by the wpw10882923 you guys have. The end of the ice maker is different. Does this require a new wiring harness to be installed?
1 Answer Hello Eric, In most cases, if the icemaker stops working with the ice mold empty, there is an issue with the water valve. In the cases where the icemaker stops empty and the icemaker is at fault, the issue is with the contacts in the icemaker that send the voltage to the water valve. This can be tested by forcing a cycle and checking for 120Vac at the water valve for the 6 to 7 seconds near the end of the icemaker cycle. If the voltage is present at the end of the cycle, the water valve is at fault. Read More...
Tim January 11, 2019 GI6FDRXXY07 My ice maker W10377151 failed and I replaced it with W10882923 good news is it now makes ice. However when I turn off the ice maker from the display panel it continues to operate despite the "ice maker off" showing on the panel in red. Thank you
1 Answer Hello Tim, I'm glad you got your icemaker to work but not you need to remove it and replaced but you will now need o do it again. the new icemaker WPW10378254 has an issue if the bail arm is not turning it off. Read More...
Hilario December 15, 2018 for Model Number WRX735SDBM00 I had no water filter for a long time. It also stopped making ice. I noticed that the ice maker had no water. I put a paper clip between T and H and pressed the door switch and water flowed into the icemaker. Could I have a bad ice maker?
1 Answer Hello Hilario, This sounds like the icemaker W10882923 has failed as you suspected. Be aware that this is a kit designed to correct an issue identified by the manufacturer and the instructions have to be followed exactly for the new unit to operate properly. One of the new harnesses has to be used with this unit for normal operation to occur. Read More...
Jim December 11, 2018 for Model Number WRX735SDBM00 I need to replace the icemaker. It looks like the wiring harness comes with the icemaker. Is there a reason for this?
1 Answer Hello Jim, You will normally use the original icemaker harness since there are so many configurations. The manufacturer will normally only include one or two possible configurations so the original on in the unit now should be used. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
