Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Icemaker Assembly (Part Number: OEM18053505)

Daniel G for Model Number 10651133210

Hello, These 2 parts, WPW10238100 & WPW10341320 were replaced and fixed my leaking issue at the bottom of fridge when the water dispenser was energized. Now, 2 weeks later after replacement, I see water leaking from the ice maker area and leaking through the water dispenser when the water supply line is energized to make ice. I ended up turning OFF the ice making command in fridge. What could be my problem? Do I need this WPW10251076 ice maker assembly part? One of your answers to above question was that perhaps one of my valves was energized or my water pressure was high. Do I need to reduce my water pressure? Much appreciated! Daniel

Daniel,

This issue would most likely be with the icemaker that there would be water leaking from it.

Hello Michael, thank you for contacting APP,

This icemaker does not lower the lever by itself, if the lever is straight out to the side of the icemaker it is in the OFF position and will need to be placed in the ON position manually. The ON position will have that lever slanted down towards the ice/ice bin. This lever is to keep the ice bin from overflowing.

Michael, the ice maker would not call for water immediately. It generally takes one hour for an ice maker to produce its first batch of ice and 24 hours to create multiple batches. It is generally recommended that the ice maker is given 24 hours to reach the proper temperature and produce multiple batches of ice.

George, if the freezer is maintaining proper temperature and verified with a thermometer, the water level in the ice maker would need to be checked to identify if it is not filling properly. If the water level is not proper, or if ice cubes have lines like there are multiple layers of water freezing at different times, then the water valve WPW10258562 would be the most likely cause of failure.

Doug for Model Number GSC25C4EYY02

Hello. I have no water coming from solenoid to ice maker. Replaced the control module did not work. Replaced the solenoid valve mainly because after I took main supply out could not get to reseal and had a leak so now new valve too. Did not work. Can run the ice maker through complete cycle w/jumper. Again not water. Line is clear. Seems like no 110V getting to solenoid. Metering N-V about 1/2 way through rotation I am getting 110v for several seconds, but still no h20. I am now thinking maybe there is a break in the wire between icemaker and the valve. I see the beige wire seems to be the wire color that carries power to the valve. I am pulling my hairs out at this point unless I am missing something where the power does not exit the control module if something else is broken i.e. thermostat or heater, but I don't see how that could be issue if I am bypassing the thermostat in test mode and I think if the heater is dead it will still turn on power as long as the cam lever is making contact. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

Doug, as there is voltage leaving the ice maker through the valve wire, if there is not voltage reaching the valve then the failure would be somewhere in the wiring between the ice maker and valve. It would be recommended that the wire harness at the door hinge is inspected to identify if there is a broken wire. If there is and it does not have enough room to repair, the door LW10438770 would need to be replaced. Unfortunately, the door is out of stock and there is not an estimated availability date for this part.

Doug, Thanks for the question!!! This sounds like you may have a clogged defrost drain. Check the floor of the freezer for possible built of ice.

Robert for Model Number MSB26C6MDM00

Tested ice maker with a jumper and it ran through a cycle. I heard the water valve open but didn't see any water come out (though in previous testing it did after the freezer was open a bit). I undid the water lines by the toe kick and put a bowl under then connected L/V on the ice maker while in diagnostic mode and saw water come out the line. Slower than it the water dispenser line, but it was a steady flow of water. What would cause it to not make it up the door to the ice maker?

1 Answer

Robert,

If the water did not fill the icemaker then it sounds like you have a frozen fill tube in the door. You will need to get the tube thawed out and adjust your freezer temperature as it may be getting too cold.

Joe, it is possible that the ice maker is overfilling which can be identified by the cube size. If the cube sizes are normal, it is not overfilling and the ice maker would need to be inspected for any leaks between the tray and motor module. If there is a leak at this spot, the ice maker WPW10251076 would need to be replaced. If the ice cubes are larger than normal, the fill tube would need to be inspected for indications of the valve WPW10341320 allowing water to leak by.

Hello Dana, unfortunately, we do not have a video explaining the tests you are asking about. However, your ref model came with a Tech Sheet located under/behind the front lower grille showing all voltages, and testing procedures.
