Customer Questions and Answers for Replacement Icemaker by Whirlpool

Hello Robertair. You will need to order and replace the water valve on the unit.

Hello Bob, If you remove the white motor module cover from the front of the icemaker assembly, you will see a square hole at the area the harness plugs in. The square hole is actually a locking tab to prevent the harness from accidentally coming out. If you use a small screwdriver to depress the side of the square closest to the harness and pull on the harness, it will slip right out. The new one, of course, plugs into the same opening until you hear it, (or feel it), snap in.

Hello Phillip. If the icemaker is over filling, replace the water valve. If it is just leaking, replace the icemaker in the unit.

Hello Matt. If the freezer temp is good, but taking to long to make ice, you will need to replace the icemaker.

Hello Mark. If it is overfilling, replace the water valve. If icemaker is leaking, replace the icemaker in the unit.

Hello G Jordan. This is usually some type of trash getting into the drain hose and clogging it. You should be fine now that it is cleared out.

G. Jordan, If you are getting water in the refrigerator section then you will need to pull the rear cover of the freezer compartment and look for a clogged drain. A clogged drain is the most common issue in which you will need to clear all the ice from the trough and run hot water through the drain to get it unclogged.

Hello Curt. Freezer being to cold in the unit or a bad icemaker will cause this issue. The freezer should be 0° to 5° in order for proper operation.

Hello Sharon. 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.
