Tonym37 January 14, 2016 for Model Number KUIO18NNXS0 Pump has gone out. There are two pumps listed on your site that are compatible. One is under $50 and one is $114. Do I need both?
1 Answer Hello Tonym37. W11566405 is just the pump motor and 2313702 is the complete assembly. The assembly is easier to replace but cost more money. Read More...
Klane K December 12, 2015 for Model Number KUIS18NNXSS0 I recently replaced the water valve, transformer and one cutting grid. The ice maker is making ice great but, when it cycles and water valve kicks on and off it makes a very loud knock or bang. Any ideas??
1 Answer Klane, This issue sounds like it would be a water valve if it is knocking when the unit is filling with water. Read More...
Jon August 05, 2015 for Model Number CSX22GR The ice maker does not make ice. I have water to the pump. Should I check the pump?
1 Answer Hello Jon. 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.

Chad June 30, 2015 for Model Number GI15NDXTQ0 I have GI15NDXTQ0 whirlpool ice machine. The water is not circulating through the evaporator but it fills reservoir fine. Evaporator gets cold. It seemed recirculating pump was not working. I ordered new 2313628 recirculating pump and replaced it. The new pump is also not pumping the water. How do I test the pump to make sure it was not dead on arrival?
1 Answer Hello Chad, I have some detailed instructions that I cannot post in this format with the charts and illustrations. If you could please re-post with a valid e-mail address, I can send this to you. This will provide all of the information needed including component access and wiring diagram. Thank you for your understanding. Read More...
Ben January 19, 2015 for Model Number 106.89583701 My Kenmore ice machine fills the reservoir then pumps it out then refills continuously.
Deann October 03, 2014 I have a whirlpool under the counter ice maker that I just bought a recirculating pump #2313628. I found the wiring harness is backwards. In other words, when you turn the plastic plug in (the harness) the direction is has to go to plug into the machine, the black wire ends up being on the bottom. On the pump that was removed, the black wire is on the top. Is it safe to just cut the wire and put them in a new plug in harness or is the whole pump wired wrong or do you have another idea?
1 Answer Hello Deann, Since the motor is not a polarized component, it will not matter if the wires are crossed or not. Just plug it in and run it. It will not be a problem. Read More...
Jim August 25, 2014 for Model Number KUIS18NNTW1 After cleaning, unit does not make ice. Condenser works- box is cold, water fills fine; water pump does not come on. Replaced thermostat 6 months ago by field tech. What would you recommend as solution?
1 Answer Hello Jim. Test and see if there is power to the water pump. If so, you will need to order and replace the water pump on the unit. Read More...
Jeff July 09, 2014 for Model Number 106.89582701 Greetings, I am trying to diagnose an issue with our Kenmore Undercounter Ice Maker. The machine is constantly running, but only a few small pieces of ice are ever made (and I think that is in accelerated mode) and those pieces melt in the bottom of the machine. I have done some research and based on that, what appears to be abnormal is that the water is continually running into the reservoir (I assume this is keeping the water too warm to freeze and keeping the temperature too warm to keep the pieces frozen) and a little is continually going down the drain. I am assuming that the reservoir is supposed to fill and then the valve is supposed to close allowing the water in the reservoir to get cold enough to freeze on the cold plate and to cool the interior of the machine. Based on that, I am wondering what part needs replacing. The water seems to be coming out of pump 2313628, but since it is pumping, that may not be what is the problem. When I plug the outlet with my finger, there is a fair amount of pressure, so the pump is working. Any guidance would be helpful.
1 Answer Jeff, If the water is continually coming into the reservoir from the supply then it sounds like either the water valve is faulty or the control board is faulty. The water should never be running when the circulation pump is sending the water over the cooling plate. You will want to check the water valve for 120 degrees to make sure that there is not a constant 120 vac. If there is then the control board is faulty and would need to be replaced. If not then the water valve would need to be replaced. Read More...
Edward October 02, 2013 for Model Number kitchenaid 15 inch undercounter ice maker, no model sticker Makes sucking noise for very prolonged time and stops producing ice. I fill reservoir with water and functions well as long as I keep refilling reservoir. Seems as though problem is due to not getting water into reservoir. Is there a valve to be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Edward. You will need to test for power to the water valve. If there is power there, and it is not bringing in water, you will need to replace the valve on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
