Tom January 13, 2013 for Model Number Ksrs25q and ksrb25q Seems like water over flows when filling icemaker and cubes to freeze together in bin. Thank you. both these model numbers were on door. It's a kitchen aide side by side.
1 Answer Hello Tom, It sounds like the icemaker mold has started deteroirating or the icemaker fill cup is frozen from water seeping through water valve. You will want to remove icemaker and check the fill cup for ice. If no ice look at the mold of icemaker. If deteriorating you will want to replace the icemaker. Read More...
Mickey January 11, 2013 for Model Number GD5PHAXMS10 I think my ice maker is broken. I switched the wires on the solonides and pushed the water dispenser water went into the tray.
1 Answer Hello Mickey, You would want to pull icemaker out of the unit and check to make sure that the pin in the center of the large gear is not broken. If pin is broken replace the module W10190935. You also want to check the emitter board W11629974. The emitter board is where you turn the icemaker on and off. There should be a flashing light when you have the door open. If the light is not flashing then push the light switch and push on the flapper on the left side wall of freezer, see if the light does quick flashes. If it does then the unit is in a harvest mode. If it does not then you need to replace the emitter board. If the light is flashing when the door is open then just push on the flapper without pushing light switch and see if light glows solid. If it does not and continues to flash then you need a new emitter board. If it does glow solid then the issue is in the icemaker 2198597. Read More...
Noreen January 11, 2013 for Model Number gd5shgxkto2 Our icemaker sometimes doesn't drop the whole load, one gets stuck and when that happens the water tries to come in and make another load of ice but backs up and freezes the line feeding water to the icemaker...what should we do???.
1 Answer Hello Noreen. Check and make sure the cubes are large enough and that the cubes are not hollow. If all is good, you will need to order and replace the icemaker. If the cubes are hollow, make sure the temperature inside the unit is at 0°. If the cubes are to small, replace the water valve and filter on the unit. Read More...
Angela January 07, 2013 for Model Number ET8CHMXKBOO WE PUT THE NEW ICE MAKER IN PART #wpl 4317943 THE REFRIGERATOR STILL WON'T WORK. HELP WE FLUSH THE LINE ALSO.
1 Answer Angela, If you installed the ice maker, according to the installation instructions, then you'll need to test or replace the water inlet valve WP2315576. If you have a multi meter, you can test for voltage(120 VAC) to the water valve terminal wires from the ice maker, if the voltage is present when the ice maker advances and reaches the fill increment, then the valve will be the issue.

Jason January 03, 2013 for Model Number KTRC22EKBT00 The ice maker handle is stuck. It releases the cubes but stays in th up position. You can manually push it down and it continues to make ice, but you have to push the handle down every time it releases the ice cubes. Is it a motor? Everything else seems to be working great. Thanks for any info.
1 Answer Hello Jason. Based on the information you provided, you will need to order and replace the icemaker 4317943 in the unit. Read More...
Randy December 27, 2012 for Model Number GT2SHMXLSOO I need an icemaker. What model number is it? thank you
Mathew December 27, 2012 for Model Number Amana ARSE66ZBC The icemaker has stopped making ice. I hear the micro switch on the swing arm clicking normally when the arm is moved from side to side. The tray is empty of any water and the water filter and water dispenser are working fine so water is available. I don not hear the water solenoid opening to allow water into the ice maker. I can mark the camshaft today and watch if this goes into a normal cycle without water or I could manually fill the tray and see if it works. What are your thoughts?
1 Answer Hello Mathew, You can use a jumper wire on the icemaker module from T to H to get the icemaker to cycle. When you pull the cover off icemaker look at the pins inside the large wheel to make sure that they are not broken. Also check to make sure that the fill tube is not frozen coming to icemaker. You can also check the back of the motor module by pulling the 3 phillips screws out to see if there are any burnt contacts on the motor module. Read More...
Don D December 26, 2012 for Model Number ED22TEXHN00 Ice maker is leaking water but it seems to splash all over the inside of the freezer. Tube seems clear but low Water is leaking and it seemd to not come out to supply enough water for ice. As well the tray maybe is leaking. So I can replace possbily the whole icemaker, fill valves etc?
1 Answer Hello Don, It may be the icemaker assembly that is leaking rather than the fill tube or water fill. The icemaker has a coating over it which you can check to see if it is deteriorating. If it is then you would want to replace the icemaker 4317943. If you are getting slow water fill it may be the water filter that is getting clogged causing low pressure. Read More...
Floundering1 December 23, 2012 for Model Number JCD2295KES Does the ice maker have a safety feature when things freeze up and can't move that saves the motor? Thanks
1 Answer Hello, The ice maker has no such feature. It has an on/off switch that prevents the ice bin from overfilling and a thermostat that keeps the ice maker from cycling before the cubes are frozen. Other than that, the only other safety feature is the in-line fuse in the harness to the ice maker. It is designed to prevent a fire should the ice makers' electrical components become shorted.

Ardele December 23, 2012 for Model Number abb1927 Freezer seems to not be working. Something had been making a regular buzzing sound, intermittently but regularly. The LED lights for both fridge and freezer are still on but the freezer is definitely NOT working. Is there anything I can do in the way of troubleshooting- switches etc.- short of calling someone for a house call? thanks
1 Answer Hello Ardele, You will want to check to see if your compressor is running. You can do this by putting an amp meter on the blue wire coming to the compressor. If you do not have amp draw then your compressor is not running. Keeping amp meter on compressor, watch the amp meter and wait to see if you get a spike of power to the compressor. Note what the amp draw is at this spike. Above 8.5 amps then you have a bad compressor W10160407 and it would need to be replace. Read More...
