Customer Questions and Answers for Replacement Icemaker by Whirlpool

Bill, There is no remedy for the flaking of the ice mold. The only thing you can do is to replace the icemaker. The icemaker part number for your unit is 4317943.

Bill, The manufacturer is not offering the ice mold as a separate part and you will need to get the icemaker assembly D7824706Q.

Sorry, We will need your model number to help you with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx

Hello Joel. No, you will need to order D7824706Q for the icemaker needed.

Hello Fred. If the icemaker is overfilling, replace the water valve. However, if the icemaker is leaking, just replace the icemaker.

Jeff, There is not an adjustment for faster ice. You will want to check the temperature in the freezer compartment to make sure that it is getting down to between 0 and 5 degrees which if it is not then it will cause the issue you are having.

Hello Beverly. It could be the wiring. 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

Hello Lonnie. No need to bypass it if you remove it.

John, You need to dispose of the first three(3) or four(4) batches of ice cubes produced by the new ice maker. This will usually flush and remove any residual dirt, dust, etc from the ice maker mold and tubing. Thanks and Good Luck

Hello Serapia, The cheapest way to ensure the problem will be corrected is to replace the icemaker as an assembly 4317943. You will need to pry the old bail arm out of the old icemaker and press it into the new one since the new one does not come with this arm.
