Sharon July 02, 2013 for Model Number KSRS25QDWHO1 Ice maker has stopped making ice and water is not going into the unit. Since this ice maker is 18 years old, do I need to replace and what parts do I need?
1 Answer 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. 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...

Stephanie June 29, 2013 My ice maker in my Whirlpool refrigerator Model W1TXEMMWT00 is leaking and making an icicle into the bin. The leak is coming between the front piece and the piece where the ice cubes are made.
1 Answer Stephanie, This issue would be caused by a faulty ice mold WPW10190929. This can be replaced or a full icemaker 4317943 that can be replaced. Read More...
Larry June 26, 2013 for Model Number ED25DQXDW02 Ice maker is turning out hollow cubes which regularly hang up and stop the maker. Will replacing ice maker solve the problem?
1 Answer Larry, Hollow cubes are an issue with low water pressure. You will need to check to make sure that you have at least 30 psi coming to the refrigerator. If there is good water pressure then the water valve would be the most likely cause of failure. Read More...

Matt June 20, 2013 for Model Number AFD2535 I just installed a new icemaker and the ice does not come out. The temperature is around 2 degrees.
1 Answer Matt, Take a wire and take the insulation off of both ends. Take the cover off the icemaker and put the jumper wire between T and H on the motor module. Hold the light switch and see if the icemaker cycles. If the icemaker cycles then you have a faulty thermostat on the icemaker. If it does not cycle then you will want to check the wiring to the icemaker. Read More...
Matt June 20, 2013 for Model Number AFD2535 My ice maker stopped working. It was not filling up with water. I replaced it. Now it fills up, but does not eject the ice.
1 Answer Matt, You will want to check the temperature in the freezer to make sure that it is correct. With a new icemaker filling with water and freezing the ice but not ejecting, it sounds like the temperature may not be where it should be in the freezer compartment. The temperature should be down around 10 degrees to get the icemaker to cycle. Read More...
Ed June 11, 2013 for Model Number GD25DF Replacement of the ice maker was simple. Water is on and I can dispense through the door. All plugged back in. Bar is in the on postion. No water is filling the new ice maker. Any ideas?
1 Answer Ed, First, the ice maker has to cool down to 15 dgrs.F. before the ice mold thermostat closes and the motor will advance. When the arm rotates around to the 10 or 11 o'clock position, the fill circuit in the control module should "close" and supply 120 VAC to the ice maker solenoid on the fill valve W10408179 for 7 to 10 seconds and allow the mold to fill. You can "force" the ice maker to cycle using a short length of 14 gauge insulated wire. Remove the insulation from both ends of the wire, insert the ends into the opening labeled "T" and "H" and hold it there until the main gear starts to rotate and reaches the 9 o'clock position, then remove the wire. The ice maker should perform all the steps in a standard ice making cycle, and stop at the 1 or 2 o'clock position. Read More...
