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...
Lonnie December 10, 2012 for Model Number jcd2389ges jenn-air If I use a jumper on T and H, the ice maker goes through a full cycle --- no problem. All works fine. Without the jumper (normal mode), after the water freezes, I can hear and see the gear moving for about 1/2 inch and then moves only very slightly --- but,that is all. IF I use a hair dryer to heat it, it completes the cycle. I seems to me that something is not turning the heater on. If you agree, how do I test that and what part do I need? Or, what else can I test?
1 Answer Hello Lonnie, If you take the cover and control module off of the icemaker, you can test the two pins which are the farthest away from each other on the mold to see if you have continuity. This is you heater. If the heater is bad then you would need to replace the icemaker mold. Also check the water fill to see if you are getting too much water into the icemaker. If this happens then the module will not turn enough to activate the heater circuit. If this is the case there is an adjustment screw on the side of the icemaker module that you can adjust the water fill. If heater is bad you will have to replace the icemaker assembly D7824706Q Read More...
Saad A December 06, 2012 for Model Number kscs25fkss02 My ice dispenser stopped working and not making any motor sounds that indicating its working. Please help me diagnose the problem or any suggestion for possible problems.
1 Answer Hello Saad, What you want to check is the bracket assembly WP2180226 that holds your switch. Remove drip tray and using a flat blade screwdriver, there is a groove at bottom of dispenser trim. Insert screwdriver into groove and pull out. This will pop the dispenser cover on one side and you need to do the same for the other side. Once out lift cover off and look at the left side of the dispenser. There will be a switch held in by pins. If the pins have broken then the bracket will need to be replaced. Read More...
Jerry December 06, 2012 for Model Number kenmore side by side ref. model 106-9555710 My ice maker model 4317943 leaks water from the front of ice maker when filling up. It will drip in the ice drawer under the water filler cup. What would be the problem?
1 Answer Hello Jerry, With your icemaker leaking it would be a deteriorating mold and the mold WPW10190929 or icemaker 4317943 would need to be replaced. If you replace just the mold assembly then you would also need to get ALumilastic cement WP4317852. You put this on the thermostat before reconnecting the mold to the housing. Read More...
Wally December 06, 2012 for Model Number whirlpool et22dqrdw01 16 yearold whirlpool refrig: Ice maker overflows the tray .....so the water "pools" on top of the tray, then the ejector can't push the cubes out of the tray, after there frozen, because they are not separated ( more of a block of ice). What are my odds?
1 Answer Hello Wally. You will need to check and see if it is the valve or the icemaker. You have to test for power to the water valve during a cycle to do this. When the power stops going to the valve, it should shut the water off. If not, then the valve is bad. If so, then the icemaker is bad. 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...
Tom December 05, 2012 for Model Number ED25RQXWW00 My icemaker quit working. I took it out and looked inside the square box,I saw where a white plastic moveable arm broke from plastic fatigue-I guess.I went to a used appliance shop and got an old ice-maker kit for free and I used the white plastic arm from it since they looked just alike. my ice-maker works fine but, now it over fills the ice trey by about an ounce and pours into my ice bin. Please help----THANKS. Cheap Tom.
1 Answer Hello Tom. Based on the information you provided, you will need to replace the icemaker 4317943 if the unit will not adjust to stop the over filling issue. Turn the adjustment screw on the side of the module to adjust the water level. Read More...

Jeffrey H December 03, 2012 I have a 15 year old Zub Zero Frig. The ice maker which looks identical to the Whirlpool unit, started making hollow ice ? than stopped altogether. I removed the Ice Maker and unplugged the wiring connector, inside the plastic connector I noticed a burn mark at the white wire terminal. I cannot remove the wiring harness, as its part of the frig. wiring. Should I just replace the maker and hope it works. After i put the maker back in, it made ice a few times (hollow ice again) than stopped. I also checked the water line, which was ok.
1 Answer Hello Jeffery, Based on the information provided you may want to check your fill tube to make sure that it is not freezing up. If the fill tube is freezing this would cause low water to icemaker. Also check to see if you have a filter somewhere in the unit or connected to incoming water line that may be giving you low water pressure to icemaker. Low water pressure is the cause for hollow ice.
