Jeremy November 10, 2025 for Model Number WRF736SDAM13 My Ice maker keeps pouring out water and won’t stop. I’ve maker is freezing as i can feel it to the touch. It just won’t stop pouring water in the ice maker and actually take time to FREEZE. Could this be the valve?
1 Answer Hello Jeremy, and thank you for your question. The water valve at the back of the appliance would need to be tested for 120 Volts AC. If it is not receiving voltage, both the dual valve WPW10341329 and the main inlet valve W10865826 would need to be replaced. If there is voltage, the main control WPW10589838 would be the likely cause of failure. Read More...
Bill December 16, 2024 for Model Number wrf736sdam11 The ice maker in my Whirlpool refrigerator recently started leaking. It still makes ice, but water is leaking into the ice bin and freezing up. It still produces ice, and I can fill the ice container with ice and it will keep it frozen. Was thinking about replacing the ice maker, and/or the valve. will this resolve my issue?
1 Answer Bill, The most common cause for this issue would be a faulty icemaker that would need to be replaced. Read More...
L May 15, 2024 for Model Number WRF736SDAM11 I tried to order a replacement ice maker for my whirlpool I was told the original part was no longer available,. I was given a part number to replace it: AP7185516 (W11577195) I ordered it; got it today. The fittings do not match up with the original. Am I missing something here? It did not come with any instructions!!!
1 Answer L, the new ice maker W11577195 should include a wire harness that will be used to replace the original ice maker harness from the ice maker to the refrigerator harness connection. In many cases, the original harness attached to the ice maker motor module will not match up to the new module connections. Read More...
Karl March 09, 2024 for Model Number WRF989SDAM02 My ice maker is only producing 3-4 cubes of ice every day. I've changed the water filter and the water dispenser has plenty of flow when filling a glass. What needs replaced? Is it the ice maker? Do you have a video on how to replace it? It is in the ceiling of the refrigerator. Thanks
1 Answer Karl, it would be recommended that the ice maker section be tested for temperature. It should be colder than 10°F. If it is, the next step would be identifying if the ice maker is filling properly. If it is not, the most likely cause of failure would be the valve WPW10341329. Read More...
Nathan September 24, 2023 for Model Number W10749397A My Door Ice maker does not make ice. Test 56 yields E5. Any advice on next steps would be greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Nathan, We will need to have the model number of the refrigerator and the number listed is not the model. Read More...
Dennis B September 21, 2023 for Model Number KRMF706EBS00 I have a KitchenAid refrigerator (KRMF706EBS00) that is great except the ice maker (W11577195) goes out about every 18 months. I'm getting ready to replace it for the fourth time. Is this just a poorly designed ice maker or could there be something causing it to go bad. Note: When it goes out, it returns E2=Motor lost position on test 57 in diagnostics. Thanks
1 Answer Dennis B, Based on the information provided I don't know of an issue that would allow the ice maker to work for 18 months or so and then cause it to go out other than the part failure. Read More...
Deb July 25, 2023 for Model Number WRF736SDAM13 I think our Ice maker is filling 2 times in a cycle. It is over filling and leaking and we get slabbed ice. We replaced the water inlet valve but this did not resolve the issue. We were going to change the Ice maker next. Would there be something other that the Ice Maker causing this?
Scott April 04, 2023 for Model Number WRX988SIBB01 Ice maker not working properly.. I can put in diagnostic and run ice maker... no errors.. after i manually fill with water in diagnostic mode it fills the ice bin and then will not make any more ice even after it gets dispenced.
1 Answer Hello Scott, since you have the Tech Sheet for testing, run tests 15,19,36,37,56, note: codes in test 56 will be cleared if the ref is unplugged even for a short time. If all checks pass, you will need to check the temperature in the ice maker area and it has to be between 0-10 deg. Read More...
Jps Appliance January 26, 2023 for Model Number WRF736SDAM14 Ice maker stopped making ice. I ordered Icemaker W11577195 / AP7185516 to replace it. The wiring harness that came with the replacement doesnt match what is in the fridge to hook up to. I separated the two loose white wires from the harness and ran them directly to the two loose wires from fridge. I hooked the existing fridge plug directly into the new ice maker (taking the new harness out of the loop completely). It makes ice but does not dump. Actually it did dump once after 48 hours, but hasnt since. I assume its electrical as the wires from the existing plug from the fridge dont match exactly with what was left in the harness after removing the two separate white wires. Is there a solution to this? I assume my model is older than the replacement ice maker I received. Thanks for any assistance.
1 Answer JP's Appliance, According to the model that you have, the correct icemaker would be W11658802. It looks like you have the wrong one. Read More...
Corey December 03, 2022 for Model Number KRMF706EBS01 Just changed the icemaker motor in my KitchenAid fridge and it passes test 56 with code E0 but will not fill with water on its own unless I tell it to with test 45, and it will not harvest the ice as well. Is there something else that has failed?
1 Answer If the test shows good and temperatures are correct, you would want to replace the entire icemaker assembly W11658802. If there continues to be an issue the main control WPW10675033 may have an issue. Read More...
