Sammy March 11, 2018

Does part number W10884390 have an adjustment to reduce the size of the ice cubes? Just replaced my water valve and too much water is getting into the ice tray (overfilling). Apparently the previous model (W10469286) was discontinued and had no attachment. Thanks.

1 Answer

Sammy, There would be a adjustment screw under the cover but only want to adjust 1/4 of a turn.

Bill H November 02, 2017 for Model Number MFF2558VEM9

I purchased/installed the replacement icemaker and water regulator. The new icemaker is producing ice but only at about 50% rate compared to the original. Is there an adjustment which would speed that up? Or is that all I get. Thanks.

1 Answer

Bill, There is no adjustment to producing ice at a higher rate. What determines the rate is the temperature of the freezer. You will want to make sure that the freezer temp is between 0 and 5 degrees.

Larry August 04, 2017 for Model Number JFC2290VEP8

My refrigerator is only about a year and a half old and stopped making ice. Are there any trouble shooting steps you could recommend to avoid having to replace un-needed parts? Also, what parts are included with the entire "ice maker"?

1 Answer

Larry, You will want to pull the icemaker and check to make sure that the fill tube that feeds the icemaker is not frozen. If it is then clean out ice from it and replace the water valve. If it is not then pull the cover off the icemaker and insert a jumper wire (insulated wire with ends stripped about a 1/4" And insert it into pin T to H on the icemaker module. This will start the icemaker to cycle. You will need to tape off the light switch while doing this. When you hear the click come from the icemaker at about the 3 oclock position then pull the jumper wire out. If the unit cycles and puts water in then this will most likely be the icemaker thermostat that is faulty. If the icemaker does not do a complete cycle it would be a bad icemaker and if it cycles but no water comes in then will be a bad water valve. If the icemkaer does not cycle at all then would be a bad Icemaker.

Rivers July 01, 2017 for Model Number MFF2558VEW6

1 Answer

Hello Rivers! How are you getting the water to stop from coming in the fridge? If you have to shut off the water source to stop it from over flowing, you have a defective water valve WPW10498976. Hope this helps!

Duane May 21, 2017 for Model Number JFC2209VEM8

I wanted to make sure before I order if I'm ordering the right ice maker for a Jenn Air JFC2209VEM8. The number on the OEM ice maker I removed is a W10377152. I assume the W10884390 replaces this and has some updates. I tore mine apart and the copper contacts connecting to the heating element was melted and pretty much exploded inside the housing. With the amount of current running through this connection it needs to be stronger. I'm also wondering if everything except the wire shutoff is included with the new ice maker such as the thermostat, etc.

1 Answer

Duane, The W10884390 / W10884390 Icemaker, would be the correct part to order for a JFC2290VEM8 refrigerator. " Replacement ice maker. The new icemaker does not include a new ice level arm, or wire harness, these components will need to be reused from original ice maker ". The part is in stock and available at this time. Thanks,

Richard March 31, 2017 for Model Number wrf535smbm00

The OEM ice maker part # is w10469286. It has been replaced by pt# w10884390. Is there a difference in the two ice makers, or just a part number change? Thank you.

1 Answer

Hello Richard. Usually when they change the part number, they made an improvement to the old part. However, they do not list the difference between the 2 icemakers.

John March 10, 2017 for Model Number WRF535SMBM00

I have a one year old whirlpool refrigerator located in our lake home. It stopped working. Every time I leave to return to our regular home, I turn off the water at the main supply line, but leave the power on. Last week, when we were at the lake, I noticed the ice bin was empty and the ice maker would not make ice even though we were there for two days. My question is, did I ruin the solenoid when I shut off the water supply, not realizing the ice bin was empty and the ice machine was on? Also, is there a way the ice maker knows the water is off and thus does not attempt to make ice? Thanks

1 Answer

Hello john. It is very possible you damaged the water valve or the icemaker by letting it dry cycle. You will need to test to see if either is bad or if the fill tube is frozen over.

Debbie February 11, 2017 for Model Number MBF1958XEW5

After a couple of years, the ice maker stopped making ice. The water line is connected and has no kinks. The bar that moves up and down to generate ice isn't moving, and there doesn't appear to be any ice in the mold, nor have I heard the water filling. A repair person "hot wired" it, and when he did, the bar moved and the water filled. Do we need to buy a whole new ice maker or is there a specific part we need? Thanks

1 Answer

Hello Debbie, You will need to replace the icemeker assembly W10884390.

Skip The Winter January 03, 2017 for Model Number GB9FHDXWQ04

While trying to remove the old icemaker I could not get the wire harness to unplug. I tried squeezing the tab on the side but I still could not get it out. Is it all right to pull hard and not destroy the harness that is attached to the refrigerator?

1 Answer

Skip the winter, On the sides of the harness will be a clip that hooks on the refrigerator harness. You will want to use a small screwdriver and get them to unclip. If this is the front of the icemaker that is not coming loose then remove the cover and push the tab on the side to get it to come out.
