Jill C December 02, 2012 for Model Number Refrig= HMG191431 The ice maker stopped working in my Admiral designer series refrigerator. The model number is HMG191431 and the Serial number is 10279178HF'. I need to replace it but am unsure what to get
1 Answer Hello Jill, The first thing that you want to do is pull the cover off the icemaker and check the pin in the middle of the big gear on the motor module. If the pin is broken then you would need to replace the ice module W10190935. If pin is ok then you would want to check the thermostat and heater. This can be done by doing a continuity check. You would take the motor module off the icemaker and check the 4 pins that stick out. You want to go across the 2 at the bottom that are furtherest from each other. Then check the other 2. If you have no continuity then that is the part that is bad. If either of these are bad you should replace icemaker D7824706Q If these check ok and there are no burn marks on the motor module then you would want to check to see if you are getting power to the water valve when the icemaker calls for it. If you have power then you would want to replace the water valve. 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...
Bill C December 01, 2012 for Model Number RSW24E0D My icemaker overfills the mold and runs in to the door. I adjusted the screw one full turn clockwise, and it seems to be worse if anything. Icemaker or fill valve?
1 Answer Hello Bill, It sounds like either you have a bad motor module calling for too much water or icemaker mold that is detoriated. You should pull icemaker out and check to see if the mold is deteriorating and if it is then you would want to replace the icemaker assembly D7824706Q. Read More...

Frank November 27, 2012 for Model Number gx2fhdxvb00 My icemaker does not make ice. I have replaced the water filter and still not making. The water does seem to get to the icemaker but it does not eject the ice.
1 Answer Hello Frank, Pull the front cover off of the icemaker. Take the icemaker motor off and using multi meter check continuity of thermostat WP627985 and heater WPW10190929. If you do not have continuity on either part then you would need to either replaced that part or the icemaker. If you have to replace either of these parts you will also need allumilastic WP4317852. Also check the large gear on the motor to make sure the pins in the middle are not broken or pushed together. If this is the case then you will need to replace the module W10190935. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Terry B November 24, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore Model # 106.71194101 The ice maker has started dripping in 2 places (main leak is closest to the refrigerator door with a minor leak to the rear), but only when the water is refilling. I put a coffee cup under the main leak to catch the drippings otherwise I have a tray with a single iceberg in 24 hours. Will a replacement ice maker take care of that or do I need to thaw or clean out a water delivery line? If I need a replacement part, what SKU or part # do I need. PS...I'm older and not very limber or mechanically talented, which you probably figured out from the coffee cup "fix", so I will most likely need to hire someone to install this for me. If I can't get it installed, what are my options for returning the part and reverting back to breaking out the old ice trays?
1 Answer Hello Terry, It sounds like you have deterioration of icemaker mold and would have to replace the icemaker assembly 4317943. Read More...
John T November 21, 2012 for Model Number KSSS36QDXO4 The ice maker does not make Ice. It can grind the ice or deliver cubed ice from the dispenser if I manually fill it with ice. I get cold water out of the door dispenser. Also, I don't know the best way to thaw out the water line if that is the problem. Should I just replace the ice maker...if so, which kit should I order?
1 Answer Hello John, You want to check to make sure that the pins on the motor wheel are not broken. If this is the case the icemaker will not cycle and you will have to replace the motor module W10190935. You also want to check your emitter board. If you look at the right wall of unit there will be a flashing red light. When you close the flapper on the left side it the right side should glow solid red. If it continues to flash and beam is not blocked then you would need to replace the emitter board W11629974. Read More...
Clarke November 21, 2012 for Model Number MFF2558VEB3 I have ice maker water coming out of the rear vent grate onto the freezer bottom pan. The ice maker seems to be working fine, no additional water in the ice tray. What seems to be happening? A leaking water line behind the grate?
1 Answer Hello Clarke, Based on the information provided it does not appear that the icemaker is at faulty. It sounds as though your fill tube for the defrost drain is clogged. What you would want to do is to remove the rear cover of the freezer and clear out the ice that is there. You would want to use hot water to pour down the drain. Before you pour the hot water in pull the unit out and there will be a nipple on the drain that comes down. Remove the nipple and clean it out. Make the opening a little bigger in the nipple so it does not get clogged so easy. Reinstall nipple and pour hot water down drain until it flows freely. Read More...
Walt November 15, 2012 for Model Number ED20ZKXWN00 Ice maker is bad, what is the ice maker part number/model, etc that I need to replace?
Rogerio November 15, 2012 for Model Number MSD2432GRQ Rev 14 My ice maker does not make ice. It's as if the lever is on the up position (when no ice is required). I notice no water comes into the tray. However, the water is coming out the regular water dispensor (drinking water). What can I check? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Rogerio. 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.
