Jordan I. February 26, 2022 for Model Number KUIS15NRHS8 We have an older ice maker that does not have a water level sensor. Recently replaced the cutting grid - broken wire, etc. now it is cutting better, and now moving on to other issues that predate the grid problem. The ice is a little thin and not clear. I have run the clean cycle with the solution several times. The water reservoir fills fine to start the cycle, but empties as the ice makes on the evaporator tray. Toward the end of the cycle, it is dry pumping for quite a while. Without a water level sensor, I’m wondering whether this unit has a way to refill the reservoir during the cycle? If not, how does the pump know when to stop? Also, how is the ice released? Does it shut off due as a result of the temperature measured by the evaporator thermistor? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Jordan, If the unit is running out of water during the cycle you either have an issue where the reservoir is losing water during the cycle or the board WP2304016 has an issue. Read More...
Z28plus February 18, 2021 for Model Number GI15NDXZS0 Ice maker stopped making ice. Said change filter and order cleaner. Ran the cleaning cycle 2 times with cleaner and changed the filter. Now all it does is fill the reservoir with water, And it won't stop, it over flows through the over flow hole and eventually it stops and the drain pump kicks on. Then it repeats the process. The order cleaner light stays lit. I replaced the circ pump thinking that was the issue. Part WPW10489122. What else can it be? Flow sensor?or the other circ pump under the reservoir? Thoughts?
1 Answer Z28plus, The water fill is dictated by the control board and if it is overflowing then this would most likely be a control board issue. Read More...
At August 22, 2020 for Model Number Marvel 51IMBA1 Recirculating pump comes on and remains on as soon as the unit is turned on resulting in a constant flow over the tray. No matter what cycle of the harvest is in, resulting in low to no to thin ice production. Turning the cut in/cut out screws on the harvest thermostat have no effect. What is the prognosis and what should be replaced?
1 Answer At, Unfortunately, we do not have any information on this unit to be able to advise but sounds like if there is a water level sensor that it is bad if it is overflowing the reservoir. Read More...
Sean Scott May 28, 2020 for Model Number KUIA15PLLS1 Hi..My circa 2005 machine sat dormant for 6 years and Covid-19 gave me time to repair it again. Problem is..Recirculation Pump was bad, bought new oem and installed it - worked!.However, I still have odd, intermittent cycles that the pump sounds like it's running dry and water reservoir is low. If I top it off manually-pump quiet again. Check water inlet flow, -not great, but 6 cups per minute. Think this model has the Control Board that, during the Harvest part of cycle, the Water Valve "on" time is limited to 1 minute. Dunno if that plays a part. Again,..it does this about 1 out of 6 cycles. Puzzled....don't want to but another $140 Recirculation Pump if the "dry runs" are causing damage?
1 Answer Sean S, Based on your information I would first check the installation and the position of the drain line, It sounds as if the machine is not holding the water for the complete cycles. The drain should be looped up and then back down to the drain so the water doesn't siphon out. Read More...
Robert May 16, 2020 for Model Number KUIC15NLXS1 Hello, I have a 2012 Ice Maker that was working and now is not. Basically, the water fills up and seems to push it. The ice maker gets very cold. However, it does not create the ice to drop on the cutting coils, which are warming. Any thoughts? Robert
1 Answer Hello Robert, check that the condenser fan is running and the condenser coils are clean. If the ice maker fills the water tank correctly, the recirculation pump runs and the evap tray is covered in water flow, the compressor and condenser fan start-up and run, after a short time the evap tray will get cold enough to start forming a sheet of ice, if the ice maker seems to just run and run and all are working then likely there is a sealed system problem and while the tray is cold it is not cold enough, this would require a technician to check and diagnose further.

Alan April 28, 2020 for Model Number GI15NDXTS0 I have an under counter Whirlpool Ice Maker It isn't making ice. I have ran the cleaning cycle and it pumps water over evaporator and physical cleaned water tube and reservoir. When it starts, the reservoir fills up with water properly, it just never starts pumping water up to the plate. After a period of time, drain pump comes on and pumps water out the drain. The freezing plate frosts over, so I know the refrigeration side is working have replaced circulation pump water level sensor and Evaporator Thermistor have power to everything but not pumping water over evaporator to make ice don't know what to do next
1 Answer Alan, You will want to check to make sure that there is power getting to the circulation pump and if there is power to it then the issue will be the drain pump and if there is no power to it then this will be a faulty control board. Read More...
Dc June 02, 2019 for Model Number KUIC18NNTS1 Icemaker recirculation pump is not working. I have replaced the water sensor level and the recirculation pump The recirculation pump is getting 12 V AC to the plug but it still not turning on. Is this a control panel issue?
1 Answer DC, as the circulation pump is getting 12VAC, it is receiving the proper voltage. You may want to check to ensure that there is no obstruction in the pump and that the pump installed matches to what your model calls for. The circulation pump that your model calls for is part number [WP2313628]. Read More...
Alan July 18, 2018 Under counter ice maker I can turn off ice maker and open the door to let it warm the inside but when I turn it back on in s couple days the water line to the reservoir is froze up again anyone know why Thanks
1 Answer Alan, The water line is located right next to the refrigerant line and you will want to find a way to insulate the water line where it comes into the cabinet to keep it from freezing. Read More...
David November 06, 2017 for Model Number KUIC15NLXS Icemaker recirculation pump is starving for water and makes noises trying to pump water due to low water levels. If I add water to the reservoir it stops making the noise and continues working normally until it goes into a new cycle. The machine is making ice but something is limiting the amount of water going into the reservoir or causing it to get to a low water level.
1 Answer David, The most common cause for the icemaker to not fill the reservoir during operation would be a faulty water level sensor which would be part number WPW10548509. Read More...
Kristin P August 25, 2017 for Model Number KUIS18NNTB1 Water fills, but when it starts to push water over the evaporator plate, it makes a swooshing noise and it is like not enough water is being pushed over the plate. It makes ice, but is very thin.
1 Answer Kristin, The first thing to check is in the reservoir to make sure that plate feed tube is connected properly to the pump assembly. If it is then the circulation pump will most likely be the issue with the unit. Read More...
