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...
1 Answer Hello Fitz, If this is a whirlpool unit with icemaker on the side wall then there are 2 screws at top middle of icemaker you would loosen and one at the bottom that you would take out. This would be the same for maytag. The maytag may not have to 2 at the top but once lower is out the you would rotate icemaker bottom inward toward the middle of the freezer compartment. Read More...
Charles December 17, 2012 Just installed anew icemaker replacement D7824706Q its not doing any thing do I need to wait any length of time for this to run.
1 Answer Hello Charles, The unit will take a period of time to run. The thermostat on the icemaker has to reach a certain temperature before it will cycle. Also depending on model if the light switch is open it will not cycle. You can jump start the icemaker by pulling the front cover off and putting a jumper wire into t and h terminals. This will kick start the icemaker to cycle but you may have to hold the light switch for it to work. Also make sure that you plugged the harness into the connector. Read More...
Wally December 11, 2012 for Model Number et22dqrdw01 I have a 16 yearold whirlpool refrig ET22DQRDW01 that has stopped making good cubes....the icemaker overflows the tray (so the water "Pools) in the tray. The ejector can't push the cubes out, because they are not separated (one big chunk). Do I need to replace the whole ice maker kit, the control module or the water dispenser valve ?
1 Answer Hello Wally, It may be the water valve is not fully seating causing water to seep into the icemaker. It could also be a bad icemaker module. You can pull the tubing for the icemaker out and cycle the icemaker. See if the water valve is letting water in even though the icemaker is stops calling for ice. If this is the case then you would need a water valve 4318046. If not then a new motor module W10190935. Read More...
