John Ashbrook December 02, 2011 for Model Number Maytag MTB2448DRW Regarding question about brown sediment in ice maker. The water tube seems to be aluminum rather than brass or plastic. The sediment/seepage seems to be coming out of one end....is there supposed to be an outlet on one end, or has the tube corroded through?
1 Answer John, There's the issue. No manufacturer uses metal fill tube grommets any more, or in the recent past(30 to 40 years). Here is the grommet/fill tube assembly that should be in your refrigerator WP61005940. You'll need to order and repalce it. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
John Ashbrook November 30, 2011 for Model Number Maytag MTB 2448 DRW My icemaker drips a small amount of brown sediment into the ice during defrost. Looks like it's coming from the end of the U-shaped water supply tube. Ice making production is normal and there is no other leakage. How can I stop this?
1 Answer John, The issue is not in the refrigerator. All the water carrying components are either Brass or Plastic, and don't usually rust. Any brown sediment or particles would be atributable to the water supply and plumbing, you may want to install an inline filter assembly 19950155 . As you mentioned the discoloration seems to be from the fill tube, so I would not suspect the ice maker mold, to be an issue at this point . Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Mark November 29, 2011 for Model Number TS22AFXKQ00 My ice maker started to make ice more and more slowly over the last several months and now it has stoped all together. Should I replace the ice maker with the replacement kit?
1 Answer Hello Mark. If the icemaker is not cycling properly, you will need to replace the icemaker 4317943. Check and make sure the fill tube is not frozen on the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Michael B. November 28, 2011 for Model Number ED5LHAXWS Ice maker overflowing. On/off switch for ice maker not shutting off. Also, have icicles and frozen water streaks coming down right side of ice maker. What's my next step? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Michael. You will need to replace the icemaker boards W11629974 and the water valve W10408179. This is based on the information you provided. Hope this helps. Read More...
1 Answer Alex, Is the shut off arm W11807379 still atached to the ice maker assembly ? if you raise the arm all the way up until it "clicks" and locks in the Off position, does the arm stay up. If it does, you'd have a defect in the internal switches in the control assembly and will need to replace the control head assembly or icemaker 4317943 Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Marsha B. November 12, 2011 for Model Number MTB2156BE The tube into the refrigerator for the icemaker pops off when the icemaker tries to make the ice. The water goes through the tube just fine. Why?
1 Answer Hello Marsha. It sounds like the fill tube for the ice maker is frozen and needs to be thawed out. If it is frozen, then the line will pop off during the fill cycle. Hope this helps. Read More...
Tom November 06, 2011 for Model Number whirlpool side by side / ED25PQXFNOO We woke up this morning to a very wet floor, water was coming out the front of the ice maker, we had water in the freezer as well as the floor. I turned my water shut off valve off, ice maker tray was full, I raised the bail arm and cleaned up the mess, later I let the arm down and it dumped the ice fine. I read a lot of peoples questions and there seems to be two answers, replace the unit or replace the water valve. HELP water valve part number is 2182106 showes model 71, 120v 60 hz 40w MOPD 150 psi. Also the water in the door quit working, I have water in the tank. This is a old problem that I thought I would fix while I was fixing the new problem. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Tom. If the icemaker is cycling properly and dumps the ice correctly, then it sounds like the water valve 4318046 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...

To remove the ice maker: a)Open the freezer door. b)Close the spring-loaded emitter door and open the ice maker door.(if equipped) c) Push the ice maker door to the left sothat the right pin disengages from the pivot arm, then lift the pin out of the pivot, and remove the left pin.d)Remove the wire shield screw from the bottom of the ice maker. e)From the rear of the ice maker, lift the top of the wire shield slightly and pull it back to release it from the ice maker. f) Press up on the two retaining clips (one on each side) at the bottom of the ice maker tracks with a fingernail of eachhand, pull the ice maker forward, and remove it. g) If you are completely removing the ice maker, unplug the wiring harness connector from the ice maker."
