Customer Questions and Answers for Replacement Icemaker by Whirlpool

Hello WW. Usually the icemaker will cycle and make ice in 4 to 6 hours. You can jumper the icemaker, but it will still take as long for the ice to freeze and cycle. It is best to just let the icemaker 4317943 just natural cycle in the unit.

Hello W.W., If you use a small screwdriver, there are two small slots at the bottom of the front cover. Insert the screwdriver into a slot and yank it towards you, being careful not to hit yourself if it comes off unexpectedly. The cover will pop off. If it doesn't pop all the way off, you may need to go around the cover and pull in different spots to bring it off more evenly. There are no screws holding it on. The water valve is not in the icemaker assembly. It is recommended to remove the unit from the power supply, but the water supply is not energized unless the icemaker is in a cycle, and this is not possible with the power disconnected. In other words, no, the water supply does not need to be disconnected or turned off to service the icemaker assembly.

Jessie, Several reasons why an ice maker operates intermittently, The most common issue now a days is the unit is attached to a reverse osmosis filter sytem, the pressure fluctuation creates fill issues and water pressure issues in the water system. Check and make sure the doors are closing and sealing properly, and that the freezer compartment is not "Over Loaded" and the air circulation is not being restricted. You want an average freezer temperature of 3 to 5 dgrs. F. to mintain the food products and the ice maker to produce properly. Thanks and good Luck

Hello John. You need to check the temperature of the freezer. It should be around 0° and not any colder. It sounds like the freezer is to cold and the icemaker is cycling before the cubes can freeze. You will need to turn up the freezer temperature.

Hello Graham. You will test for voltage going to the water valve when the icemaker is in harvest mode. If there is voltage and no water coming to the icemaker, and the fill tube is not frozen, you will replace the water valve. If the icemaker does not cycle, or there is no power to the valve during the cycle, you will replace the icemaker D7824706Q. The two tabs are behind the cover of the control module. 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

Hello Guivenia. Yes, this model of Kenmore was manufactured by Whirlpool.

Hello Susan, The trick is a little screwdriver. Use it to remove the white plastic cover on the front of the icemaker and you will see a clearish white plastic tab on the side where the harness goes into the icemaker. Depress the tab with the little screwdriver and pull and the harness will slide right out. As for the bale arm, use the small screwdriver to pry it away from the back of the control module and it will pop right out. To install it in the new one simply push it in until it bottoms in the hole. If the back end goes through the plastic, put it in the plastic part first.

Hello Tom. Back the screw out for less and tighten for more water. Never go more than a half a turn either way.

Hello Tony. Based on the model number you provided, D7824706Q is the correct icemaker for you model number.
