Richard June 10, 2016 for Model Number EC5100XFB1 My ice maker is not pumping water up where it flows across the ice maker portion. My question is there a way to determine if I need a pump or entire module. thank you, Richard Odom 931-472-8144
1 Answer Hello Richard. Test for power to the pump. If there is power there and the pump does not run, then it is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. 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...
Tony June 29, 2015 for Model Number vvvjennair frigidaire I replaced water filter to supply ice machine,After I do not have any water to supply Ice machine tray.
1 Answer Hello Tony. 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.

Roy February 23, 2014 for Model Number EC5150WV0 My ice machine is letting to much water in the bin and over flowing in the waste line. I read here where the water valve has an approximately 7 seconds time on it. Is this the only calibration for the water and if so how is the 7 seconds controlled. Last if this is true, I should replace the valve and that should fix the "to much" water in the reservoir and overflowing, wasting so much water. Correct?
1 Answer Roy, The ice machine is designed to run the water during the defrost mode only and will run 60 to 120 seconds. In the time that the water is running it will fill what water was taken from the tank and will be flushing the tank as well. This is the design of the unit and there is no way to change this.

Pop October 10, 2013 for Model Number eb5100xfbo I am not getting water so it can freeze and make ice.
1 Answer Hello Pop. Test for power to the water valve. No, power, replace the board. Power at the valve and no water, replace the valve. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Tom S. September 23, 2013 for Model Number GETBX25R How do you control the water flow into the ice machine? The amount of water thats going into the ice cube tray is too much and it's making the ice cubes act like one piece of ice and it jams the ice dispencer
1 Answer Hello Tom, There is no calibration short of the fact that the ice maker fills on a timed basis. The water valve is energized for about 7 seconds. This is a predetermined amount of water fill given the volume that can pass through the 1/4 inch water line. If the ice maker is overfilling, you either have all of a sudden had an increase in water pressure, (not very likely although possible), or the water valve WR57X10033 has started failing and is closing too slowly, overfilling the ice mold.

Gopop April 02, 2011 I purchased a water circulation pump and was wondering how difficult and what is needed to replace this myself? It did NOT come with any instructions on how to do it or what is needed. I have a Whirlpool Model #EC5100XFW0. Thank you in advance for your assistance. GOPOP
