Timothy July 10, 2012 for Model Number D7824706Q When the ejector arm turns to eject the ice cubes the on the very end gets caught and jams the ejector arm. I've inspected the the ice maker and don't see anything out of place. Any idea what the problem maybe?
1 Answer Hello Timothy, This sounds to me like an insufficient fill of the ice maker. When the cubes are too small, they don't drop properly. They will hang up in the harvest fingers and cause stoppages. I suggest to check the water pressure to the unit and if that's good, replace the water inlet valve. I cannot suggest part numbers without a model number, so if you require further assistance, please post with a model number because the model number denotes the exact part for the specific model. This enables us to quote you the correct part. Read More...
Gerry July 05, 2012 for Model Number 10653652300 I am looking for a complete ice maker for my frig. I found this part, however, I believe this will not fit because I have the clear catch space for ice the auger I believe on my door. Do you have an ice maker to fit my appliance? Thank you in advance.
Bob July 04, 2012 for Model Number GD5SHAXLQ0L Show me how to check water valve for ice maker. Water dispenser works fine.
1 Answer Hello Bob. To test the water valve for the icemaker, you will trace the fill tube for the icemaker to the water valve. Then cycle the icemaker and test for power coming to the water valve W10408179. If there is power there, and no water, and the fill tube is not frozen, you will replace the water valve on the unit. 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...
Jhun B. July 01, 2012 for Model Number MSD2456DEW I have a double door Maytag refrigerator, a few days ago my ice maker stops producing ice as if there's no water going into the ice maker unit. I did change the water valve in the back because the ice maker was leaking water causing a build-up of ice. Do you think I need to replace my ice maker this time? I removed the ice maker unit but it seems there's nothing wrong with it. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Jhun, If you replaced the ice maker already, you need to check for sufficient water pressure. If a water line has become crimped, or the shut off has been partially closed, this could cause the issue. You see, the water inlet valve is closed by water pressure only. The valve has no spring to aid in its' closure. If sufficient water pressure is present, the only other thing that could cause the complaint is the contacts in the ice maker sticking. If this is the case, the ice maker assembly D7824706Q will require replacement. Read More...
Mike June 23, 2012 for Model Number ice maker for whirlpool ED22TEXHN00 When refilling the ice tray the ice maker doesn't shutoff the water soon enough and it spills all over the freezer. How do I detemine if it is the water supply valve or if I need to replace the entire ice maker? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Mike. You will need two people on this, but you will test for power during the cycle of the icemaker. When the power stops, so should the water. If water continues, replace the valve. If power is supplied until the unit overflows, replace the icemaker. 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...
John F June 20, 2012 I just installed ice maker D7824706Q in my Sears side by side refrigerator. I was surprised no instructions for installing and adjusting the ice maker came with it. Are they available online or in writing?
1 Answer John, The ice maker you installed is a "replacement only" ice maker. So you replaced an existing ice maker, and it should have been a straight across "change out". If you are installing an "Add On" icemaker you may have the wrong part. We'll send you some of the basic installation information that may be helpful. Thanks Read More...
Brian June 18, 2012 for Model Number psd265lges My icemaker stopped making ice. It won't even fill up with water. I replaced the secondary valve in the refrigerator and still nothing. I also thawed out the freezer to see if water was frozen in the line. The water still works fine so I know its not the primary valve and the icemaker just continues to rotate nonstop. Could the icemaker itself be my problem or possibly another electric problem?
1 Answer Hello Brian, The ice maker should stop at the end of the cycle, (as you know). The cycling thermostat or the motor module in the ice maker has to be at fault. If the thermostat is internally shorted, it will cause the ice maker D7824706Q to continually cycle. If the motor module has a set of contacts that are stuck, it will cause the same thing. In any case, due to parts availability, the complete ice maker assembly will require replacement. Read More...
John June 17, 2012 for Model Number 106.76239402 I bought this refrigerator 4 or 5 years ago. It was used in the basement for that lenth of time but we never used the ice maker. I gave the refrigerator to my daughter and I hooked up the ice maker to make ice but the arm won't go down. Is there any way to test this unit out?
1 Answer Hello John, First, make sure there is voltage to the ice maker. If there is no voltage to it, it can be in the middle of a cycle and the bale arm cannot be raised to turn it off. If there is voltage to it, the ice maker 4317943 or the control module W10190935 will have to be replaced. Read More...
Rose June 17, 2012 for Model Number RS22AQXGW02 The ice tray just before the icemaker keeps filling with water and then freezes. I have defrosted it, removed the ice, and it keeps freezing. What could cause this? There is strong water pressure, the freezer is at zero degrees. The tube tray seems to fill up by slow drip leakage and then freezes. Any help will be appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Rose. Based on the information you provided, the water valve WP2188542 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
George June 16, 2012 for Model Number 106.55382400 My Icemaker is not getting power . This came up after it jamed an I used a heat gun to warm the ice to get it going agin.
1 Answer George, To test the ice maker for power you will need a multi meter TJMA-DMT3, Remove the white plastic cover on the front of the ice maker and insert the meter probes into the "L" and "N" openings in the front control module, you should have a reading of 110- 120 VAC. If you have the voltage, then you want to go with the ice maker kit 4317943 If not check the harness along the side of the assembly to see if it got damaged when you heated the ice maker. Here's some meter usage information should you need it [http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html] Good Luck Read More...
