Mc November 27, 2018 for Model Number JIM158XBRS1 I just installed a new recirculating pump and realized it’s not working because there’s a metal pin missing from the female end of the connector clip. Is there any way I can just replace the pin?
Mark Wallace August 19, 2018 for Model Number 10689553100 I want to replace the circulating pump on this Kenmore Elite ice machine. The original pump has a 5 wire harness plug, while the recommended replacement part (10489122) has only a 2 wire harness. This machine is less than 3 years old; is a replacement pump available? Thanks, -Mark
2 Answers Mark, the re-circulation pump I am looking at has only 2 wires with a 3 prong connection. There is water level sensor that plugs into a connection by the circulation pump.Part number W11566406 is the correct part number for your model. Read More...

2 Answers Mark, I believe you are referring to the main connector of the pump harness.That harness powers your drain and circulating pumps and also water level sensor.Remove a plastic cover over your reservoir and you should see where the pump connects. Read More...
1 Answer Alain, You will want to test the pump for 120 vac getting to it as it can read good resistance but still be bad. Read More...
Steve September 30, 2016 for Model Number KUIC18NNXS1 My Kitchenaid under counter ice maker stopped making ice. Ran cleaner though it with no success. Noticed that the pump was not pumping water up to the top ice tray so ordered a pump from you guys -still no success. The water tray fill us but it never pumps water up to the top to make ice. The top ice tray is getting cold - can see frost on it but it wont pump water up to it. Hose and the plastic tube up top is all clean. Did notice that the water tray in the bottom gets filled when I turn it on but about an hour later when I come back to check on it - it is empty. The service light is not on either.
1 Answer Steve, You will want to test to see if there is 120 vac going to the circulation pump. If there is not then this would be a faulty control board causing this issue. Read More...
Tammy L. July 14, 2016 for Model Number Whirlpool ice machine Model#GI15NDXTS0 My machine stopped making ice. I was told to replace capacitor. Did that. It still sounds like it needs water to it. Does this sound like pump? I have checked water line and it is getting to the machine but water is not transferring inside. It sounds like it is trying but no water making it to the grids.
1 Answer Tanny, If there's no water in the reservoir or in the machine, the pump wouldn't be the problem. You should check or replace the fill valve WPW10217917 first. Water from the supply line enters the fill valve, and from the valve to the reservoir and pump, then the pump circulates the water to the dispenser arm and ice flows onto the evaporator to freeze into a slab that "drops" down onto the grid and is cut into cubes. The part is in stock and available at this time. Thanks, Read More...
Allan May 13, 2016 for Model Number KUIS15NRTB2 My KitchenAid icemaker has been making an unusual grinding and chugging sound, beyond the norm, for the past few month - but nonetheless making good, clear ice. Now the ice has gotten small, thin, and cloudy and takes twice as long to fill up the ice bin. It's very brittle too, like crushed ice. I believe the sound is coming from this black pump at the rear of the ice bin, part AP6007220 but I could be wrong. I recall buying and replacing this pump last year for some reason, but I cannot find it in my purchase history with you - as I am accustom to buying my appliance parts from you. Be that as it may, does the small and cloudy ice, and the unusual grinding and chugging sound, sound like this pump has failed?
1 Answer Hello Allan. Try using some cleaner W11179302 in the unit and clean it. If the issue continues then check the water supply and the pump. Read More...
Quentin May 08, 2016 for Model Number KUIS18NNTW0 At the beginning of an ice cycle, the reservoir fills. However, it now only fills about half way. What part needs replaced?
1 Answer Hello Quentin, If the water level sensor WPW10548509 tests good you will need to replace the water valve WPW10217917. Read More...
Jeff March 18, 2016 for Model Number KUIC15NRXS0 I have a leak in my ice maker. It appears to be coming from the pump. Is this a common problem you see and do you think fixing the pump will fix the problem? What else should I be considering from this assembly before ordering a new pump?
1 Answer Hello Jeff. If the pump is the only thing leaking, you will only need to replace the pump on the unit. Read More...
Michael March 03, 2016 for Model Number KUIC15NLTS0 My ice maker is not making ice. The repair tech said my board was bad. I replaced the board and still no ice. all the cycles seem to function correctly however I noticed there is no water flowing over the freeze plate
1 Answer Hello Michael. Either the hose for the feed tube has come off or the pump is bad in the unit. Check the hose first. If good, replace the pump if there is water coming into the water bin of the unit. Read More...
