Customer Questions and Answers for Replacement Icemaker by Whirlpool

Hello J, all I see available is the ice maker kit W11700559. Thanks!

Hello Terry, It sounds like you have deterioration of icemaker mold and would have to replace the icemaker assembly 4317943.

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.

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.

Hello Walt. You will need to order the icemaker 4317943 for your model number.

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. 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

Karla, 4317943 is still available for purchase as our part number 4317943. However, ER4317943 is the exact replacement and is designed to replace the 4317943. This is our part number TJ90RIM943. We are showing that this item is no longer available. Sorry about that!

Hello Rita, one way to tell is, if you can get the old one out, you should be able to put the new one in. This replacement ice maker D7824706Q mounts with a couple screws. You will likely need to re-use your old front cover, wire harness, and shut off arm from the failed ice maker. You'll need to line up the fill cup with the inlet tube and plug in the harness. Normally, an easy reapair if you have little technical aptitude. Hope this helps!

Hello Rey, The ice maker assembly D7824706Q will require replacement if the unit isn't fully cycling.

Hi John, order ice maker 4317943 for your replacement. Thanks!
