Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Ice Maker (Part Number: OEM12405033)

1 Answer

Jim, It's more likely you will need a fill valve W10408179 on the back of the refrigerator. As long as the ejector rake is in the 1 to 2 o'clock position, the ice maker is "OFF" until the thermostat closes and the ice maker advances through a harvest cycle. It's possible but not likely that you may have a "stuck" fill contact, in the ice maker control module.

Brett, You will want to check to make sure that the temp in the freezer compartment if below 10 degrees. The ice can freeze in the mold but if the temp does not get low enough to allow the thermostat to close then the icemaker will never cycle.

DJ, You will want to pull the icemaker out and check to see if the fill tube to the icemaker is frozen. If frozen then you will need to clear the fill tube and replace the water valve WP67005154.

Hello Banjo Boy. There is an on/off switch on the icemaker. Also, you may need to replace the filter in the unit and make sure the fill tube is not frozen on the unit.

John, Give the unit approximately 1 1/2 hrs to 2 hrs for the icemaker to cycle to see if water comes into the unit.

Kt for Model Number JRSD2490TB

16 yr old fridge. Put a lot of $ into since 2009. After replacing defrost heater and timer in freezer, ice maker overflowing (coincidence or repair error?) Valve replaced in 2009- Repair person tried to turn down water flower knob, still overflowed. Switched valve with his and still overflowed, but never tested either valve with volt meter. Husband changed water filter on line in basement which he let go 3-6 months too long. This corrected the cold water staying on too long but not the ice maker! Is there a filter in the fridge leading to ice maker somewhere that could be clogged? Repair person says I need new ice maker but I guess I could just get Ice Maker Control Module OEM. I did notice that coating was chipping off water tray so I guess new one may be warranted- but big price difference! Still not positive it's not the valve. I should buy a voltage meter to be sure before I order ice maker. Going to install it myself as I did fine taking it out today to defrost and inspect!

Kt, If you put a valve on the unit that was a known good valve and it was still overflowing then the valve would not be the issue. This unit does not have a built in filter. If the coating is chipping off the icemaker then you will want to replace the icemaker assembly.

Hello Jburke. Check and see if the fill tube is frozen on the unit. If so, you will want to make sure the temp in the freezer is 0° and that the water valve does not have a slow leak. If it does, replace the water valve on the unit.
