Elizabeth September 07, 2016 for Model Number MSD2552VEB00 Ice maker stopped making ice. I had someone look at it and was told that the motor went out. I just ordered and replaced the motor but still no ice. I was waiting for the sound of water flowing in but nothing. No Ice yet. What else could be the problem?
1 Answer Hello Elizabeth. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Wayne B April 18, 2015 for Model Number ED5KVEXVL00 I am experiencing water in the bottom of the freezer door, have checked all water lines with no apparent signs of leak. No apparent sign of leakage at ice maker. At bottom of freezer side in the back I am seeing significant amount of water in bottom on the refrigeration unit. In my investigation I did discover that we had a lot of items stuffed in the shelf above the ice maker which could have partially obscured the airflow of the unit. Could this have caused condensation occur and water accumulation in the bottom of the unit? I have had enough water accumulation that it filled the bottom and leaked out on the floor over time.
1 Answer Wayne, The issue with the unit would most likely be caused by a clogged drain. You will want to remove the rear wall of the unit and clean the drain trough of all ice and flush drain with hot water. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Sally. The auger motor drives the auger to dispense the ice from the dispenser. Read More...

Brandon July 11, 2014 for Model Number whirlpool model ed5vhexvb01 Had a hard time getting the ice bin out of the door to clean out. After removing the ice tray...with a lot of difficulty, the shaft seems to be sticking out to far for the bin to fit back in. I made sure the shaft was properly aligned with the gear and it slide in perfectly...up to the screw on top...but the shaft is still pushing the bin up to high for it to lock into place and fit in the door. Also, now when I push light button and the ice lever on the front of the door, the motor turns on but the shaft does not move. Has the plastic piece on the shaft been moved down and it's not fitting in the motor now?
1 Answer Brandon, Yes that plastic piece around the shaft has moved and you will just want to take the blunt end of a screwdriver and tap the shaft back down. You do not have to remove anything to do this except the ice bin. You will want it to be just below the round piece that surrounds it and make sure that you only tap it down to where it will sit in the motor and the ice bin will sit flush. Read More...
Steve May 22, 2014 for Model Number MFI2665XEB6 Looking for instructions on disassembling the ice maker so I can inspect/replace the auger motor. Motor part number is AP4567723. Thanks
1 Answer Steve, To remove the icemaker from your unit you will need to remove the ice bin. On the lower part of the left wall there is a cover that needs to be removed. To remove the cover you will use a small flat blade screwdriver and put into the hole that is about 1/3 to half way back. Push the screwdriver either up or down to depress the release tab. Once it is depressed slide cover forward. Should slide easily if tab is depressed. Then you would disconnect the wire harness and there is a tab on the side of the icemaker that you would pull toward the icemaker and slide the icemaker forward. Read More...
Bill March 06, 2014 for Model Number 106.58506801 Auger motor does not turn (held door closed button); auger turns freely; how do I determine if the motor needs replacing or if the problem is the control board? Thanks.
1 Answer Bill, The first thing you want to check is to make sure that the switch bracket on the dispenser is not broken. In a lot of cases what happens is the pins that hold the switch in will cause the lever to not make connection with the switch. If that checks ok then you will want to check to see if the dispenser motor has 120 vac getting to it when you push the lever. If there is power then the motor would need to be replaced. Read More...
Ren April 12, 2013 for Model Number gs2727eadw/11 Hi, I have a maytag fridge which is 240v/50hz and the thread on the ice dispenser motor has been stripped. I believe I need to replace the motor and get a new coupler. The fridge was from the early 2000's. I also need a ice maker unit to suite as the current one is leaking. I believe the one I need is here for 240v: ap4360354.
1 Answer Ren, the ice dispenser motor is part number 12001775 and the icemaker is part number WPW10190972. Thanks! Read More...
Donna R March 15, 2013 for Model Number ED5GVEXYD00 Whirlpool The icemaker won't dispense the ice. When the bin is emptied and and ice starts to fill up it will dispense it. It will work when there is a very light amount of ice. When it starts to fill it will no longer push the ice out. What part do I need?
1 Answer Donna, You will want to check the motor coupling and see if it is spinning freely without the motor turning. If it does then you will need to replace the motor coupling WPW10169511. Read More...
Rodger M March 02, 2013 for Model Number Maytag fridge MSD2576VEM The ice dispenser motor comes on unexpectedly dumping ice on the floor, then stops. Does this frequently. Replaced the control board and pad with no success. What causes this to happen and how do I fix it?
1 Answer Hello Rodger, The auger motor on unit is routed from the dispenser to the control board then back up to the auger motor. You will need to check wire harness connections at the dispenser, bottom of the door, at the control board and at the auger motor to ensure that there are no broken or loose wires that could cause intermittent contact. If all this checks ok then the most likely cause would be the control board WP2322547. Read More...
