Serapia December 08, 2015 for Model Number 10650503990 Freezer fills ice tray with water but then water leaks out of tray and leaks out through ice dispenser. Do we need to replace entire icemaker or just the tray?
1 Answer 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. Read More...
Marty December 03, 2015 for Model Number KBLA22ERSS01 Refrigerator was not making ice. The water supply to the ice maker did not have any water in it so I just replaced the water valve assembly and still no water making it to the ice maker (water dispenser was and is providing water). Next step?
1 Answer Hello Marty. You will need to check and make sure the fill tube is not frozen and if not, then it sounds like the icemaker may be bad and need to be replaced in the unit. Make sure the temp is 0 to 5°. Read More...
Richard November 16, 2015 for Model Number 106.55634501 THE METAL ICE TRAY PORTION OF THE ICE MAKER IS LOOSING IT'S COATING. CAN I JUST BUY THAT PIECE? IT IS PART 20 IN THE ICE MAKER DIAGRAM . IT IS A KENMORE COLD SPOT SIDE BY SIDE UNIT. SERIAL # ST0347334 FROM 2006.
1 Answer Hello Richard. Yes, you will need to order WPW10190929 for the icemaker model needed. Read More...
1 Answer John, You will want to check the fill tube to make sure that the fill tube is not frozen. If it is frozen the water valve would need to be replaced. If the fill tube is not frozen they the water valve would need to be checked to see if voltage is getting to it. If there is power to the water valve when the icemaker calls for water then the water valve would need replaced. If there is not power then replace the icemaker. Read More...
Becky October 10, 2015 for Model Number WRT318FMDM We have a customer who recently order a new whirlpool refrig and requested no factory installed ice maker. Cust rec'd frig with icemaker. What part # would we need to order to cover the opening of the removed icemaker?
Union J. October 05, 2015 for Model Number M1TXEGMYB01 Our ice maker stopped making ice two days ago and back wall of freezer vents icing up! I unplugged for 2 hours and plugged back in still not making ice. I had to have an appliance repair person install the water line because Sears people said they did not do this! We have no way to tell whether the water valve may be off or on after attempting to turn it both ways?
1 Answer Hello Union, You will need to pull the unit out and access the wires to the water valve whose output water line leads to the icemaker. Pull the wiring connector off of the valve and insert the probes from your test meter set to ac voltage. You will be looking for 120Vac near the end of the cycle. Some units require the door switches be closed for the voltage to pass to the icemaker so it can be forced to cycle. To force a cycle, use an insulated jumper lead from T to H on the front of the icemaker after the white cover has been removed. These are actually the two openings on the front of the icemaker module that are closest together. IF the vents are stopping up you should also check for a possible air leak or defrost issue.

Cindy September 26, 2015 for Model Number ED2VHEXQO1 We just replaced our ice maker this week. Is there a way to adjust the amount of ice it makes? It is running over the bucket and still making ice.
1 Answer Cindy, This issue sounds like the arm of the icemaker is not in the slot on the back of the icemaker head. Pull the icemaker out and make sure that the arm is in and pushed all the way into the slot. If it is not then the icemaker will continue to produce ice. Read More...
Ken September 02, 2015 for Model Number ABB2224BRM00 I have an amana ice maker w10190978 for refrigerator model # listed. Machine made ice at first for about 2 days. Now the ice maker whines for about 3 seconds and stops . it does not make ice and the icemaker arm stops in the up position. I have the freezer temp at the recommended settting. I have water to the the appliance.
1 Answer Hello Ken. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the icemaker may be bad. However, you need to look and see if it has ice stuck in the fingers. If so, then the water valve may be bad and need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Kyle August 29, 2015 for Model Number KSRS22QAWH10 Installed new ice maker should they tray fill with water right away?
1 Answer Kyle, No, the ice maker will not fill with water right away. The ice maker has to cool down to 14 degrees or less, then the motor will advance through the cycle and fill to make the ice cubes. It could take a few hours to occur. Also remember, after the ice maker has made 2 or 3 batches of ice, you want to discard the cubes and start all over again. Read More...
Pip August 21, 2015 Your parts search engine, parts shipping time, price, and the parts themselves rock! My older Whirlpool side by side had two problems. The dual water valve was bad on the water dispenser side, and my ice maker was leaking due to our water pitting the coating off the cube tray causing it to leak out the front of the ice maker and freezing the dispenser into a block of ice. My 14yr old daughter, replaced both parts while I held the flashlight, under 15 minutes. I did not have a question, but I will offer a tip. I was afraid I had a bad part, wasn't sure which one. Solenoid/ valve(#2188542) would not come on to fill the cube tray, but It would dispense water. Followed your tips on flushing the fill tube for possible freezing, even though I never heard the valve come on, determined that was not the problem. Read in here where some one had the same problem I did, and you referred them to a forum. I tested the 120Vac on the icemaker(#4317943)-GOOD, I used the jumper on the timer for a full revolution, and still no valve start up. I left the jumper in for a second revolution, and it energized. VIOLA! water in the tray! I am guessing the two revolutions got the contacts on the timer seated or moved dielectric grease around, and it signaled the valve to energize. Maybe this will help some one in the future.
1 Answer Pip, Thank you for the information and we are glad to hear that you had a positive experience with the replacement of the water valve and icemaker. Read More...
