Dave July 21, 2015 for Model Number PBF2255HEW Maytag Hello My ice maker makes small ice cubes but I will hear a grinding sound, I open the bottom freezer door, force the teeth down breaking off the ice build up that's keeping the teeth from going back down... If I don't do this we get no ice... I found that the water supply line valve at the wall, it was old and not able to turn on all of the way, so I changed that... what's next?
1 Answer Hello Dave. Make sure the temp is 0 to 5°. If so, and the valve is new, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Read More...
Barry July 09, 2015 for Model Number ARSE66ZBW I have a Amana side by side with ice maker. The water will not come into the ice maker. I get water out of the door so I know it is getting water into the refrigerator. What could keep the water from going into the ice maker?
1 Answer Hello Barry. 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 Read More...
Kathleen C July 07, 2015 There is water getting out of the ice maker and freezing water at the bottom of the freezer.
1 Answer Hello Kathleen. If the icemaker is overfilling, replace the water valve. However, if the icemaker is leaking, just replace the icemaker. Read More...
Jane June 17, 2015 for Model Number DRS2663BW The icemaker in my Amana Side-by-Side is putting out ice cubes with pieces of black thick plastic frozen in it. I've looked at the parts pictures and don't see plastic except around the electrical connections. I don't know what to replace. Please Help.
1 Answer Hello Jane. If it is frozen in the ice, it sounds like the icemaker D7824706Q is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...

Mark June 04, 2015 for Model Number 4317943 Ice maker is in a top mount refrigerator. When unit fills water leaks out the control end. Can this be repaired or do I need a new one?

Mark June 01, 2015 for Model Number Maytag MSD245FR Is there any adjustment on the ice maker timing? If I raise the arm and allow extra time the cubes come out fine, if I leave it to automatically cycle the cubes come out hollow and water collects at the bottom of the bin.
1 Answer Hello Mark, This problem is going to be a combination of a water valve 61005626 not opening fully, (cause of hollow cubes), and the icemakers' WPW10190972 internal contacts not making, (heater not releasing the cubes from the mold). Read More...
Dennis May 27, 2015 for Model Number GX5FHDXVQ02 Icemaker wont make ice. Replaced ice maker and water valve, water goes to valve and that's far as it goes.
1 Answer Dennis, You will want to check the fill tube in the freezer compartment to make sure that the fill tube is not frozen. This would be the most likely cause with the icemaker not getting water into it. Read More...
Sam Spade May 09, 2015 for Model Number ED25RQXXW00 Just installed replacement icemaker part number 4317943 and ice cubes are just the outside shell - not solid. Exactly where on the unit is the adjustment to increase water to the unit. I have removed cover and do not see anything that appears to have a plus/minus adjustment screw. Is it marked?
1 Answer Sam, You normally wouldn't need to adjust the water level in a new ice maker, they are preset and tested at the factory. Hollow ice cubes are usually due to low water pressure/supply to the refrigerator. We would recommend you check the water supply, and the fill valve on the refrigerator before you adjust the ice maker. To adjust the water level, you'll need to remove the white plastic front cover. On the right side of the ice maker control module/front, about half way down from the top you'll see a small white plastic adjustment screw with a slot molded across the top, use a small flat blade screwdriver and turn the adjustment screw clock wise to decrease the water level and counter clock wise to increase the water level. The number of revolutions of the adjustment screw is limited to three, if you adjust the screw three revolutions and there is little or no change in the cube size or condition, you'll need to search elsewhere for the problem, and readjust the water level back to the original setting.
