Symptoms of a failing Icemaker Assembly include:

  • No ice production or very little ice being made
  • Ice cubes that are smaller than normal or misshapen
  • Leaking water in the freezer compartment
  • Unusual noises during the ice making cycle, such as clicking or buzzing

Causes of a bad icemaker can include issues with the water inlet valve, freezer temperature not being cold enough, or mechanical failures within the icemaker itself, such as a faulty motor or an obstructed fill tube.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Icemaker Assembly (Part Number: OEM18053505)

Jack for Model Number Model: WSF26C2EXF01

Jack for Model Number Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly WPW10251076 ANSWER Hello Jack, If the icemaker stopped empty you should verify the water valve is operating properly. This could be an instance where the water valve has a problem or this could actually be a bad new icemaker assembly. For a more thorough diagnosis, we would need you to please post a new question including the model number from the units' I.D. tag. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Did you receive my new question on Friday? Do I need to open up the new icemaker to find the ID tag? I found on the box it came in that it was made 06/08/18 in MX.

1 Answer

Jack, We needed the model number for your refrigerator, not the ice maker. On your unit, there should be a tech sheet that will have a diagnostics mode on it. Put the unit into diagnostics and see if the icemaker will cycle in the diagnostic settings.

Ian for Model Number WRS586FLDW00

Hi, our ice maker in our Hawaiian home does not work. I have checked the red leds are on in the ice bucket area and I have jumped wires across various test points to get things moving. My problem is that the red leds light up when the door is open, once it has been closed and reopened they are out. If I then unplug the white connection on the left side and reconnect it again it works once again. I have tried everything I can think of and have now resorted to carrying ice from the garage lol! Can you suggest a decent faultfinding flowchart or even provide a circuit diagram please? Love your site it has been the best for getting info on this subject. Regards, Ian from UK

Hello Ian, the ice maker optics red indicator light only stays on for 30-60 seconds once it is powered. It can only be tested for correct operation in the test mode, Test 15, your model refrigerator came with a technical test sheet, its located under the front cabinet behind the lower grill, also check closely the wire harness bundle coming out of the lower freezer door hinge for any wire problems.

Hello Alan, if you are referring to the ice maker fill tube with wire harness, it is just snapped into the freezer door inner liner and usually secured with a wire zip tie, just remove the zip tie and gently pull the grommet out.

Jeff, This issue would most likely be an issue with the emitter or receiver board on the unit. You will want to use the tech sheet that is with the unit and go into service diagnostics to test the boards.

Paul, We will send you a tech sheet to test the ice level sensor in your freezer door by the ice bucket. If there is no red light on the receiver board the optics are faulty. If these boards think the ice bin is full it will not cycle the icemaker. Also, some other test points for voltage are connector P3 pin 3 and connector P1 pin 2 for 120 vac if the ice bin is not full. Those tests are made from the main control. On the user interface board, you can test for 14 VDC on connector J5 pins 1 and 3. No voltage here and the user interface needs replaced.

Brian, You will need to test again the bin status at test 15 to make sure the optics are working and test 17 to make sure the door switch is operating correctly. I will send you a service sheet for you to enter the diagnostics. Remember power goes to the ice maker from the main control on P3 connector pin 3 is the voltage and a neutral is P1 connector pin 2. This is a test point for voltage if the bin is in place and not full and doors shut 120 vac should be supplied to the icemaker.

Brian, with the door switch engaged and the emitter flap pressed in, you will want to test for voltage going to the icemaker. The most likely issue is that while the receiver W11813704 is showing that it is sensing the emitter W10870822 beam, it is not sending 120VAC to the icemaker. If there is not voltage going to the icemaker with the switches and flap pressed in, then the receiver has failed.

Hello DJ, ice is usually made within 12-24 hours after the installation is made. Hope this helps!
