Casey S. June 28, 2011 for Model Number 59671812101 Hi we got our icemaker from a scratch and dent and don't have the manual. My dad hooked the water line up and plugged it in, in the back of the refrigerator. I read that as long as the arm lever is down it should be working. Is there anything else that needs to be done, or why isn't it producing ice?
1 Answer Hello Casey. Check and make sure the water to the refrigerator is turned on. If so, you will want to test and see if there is power going to the water valve, when the icemaker is in harvest mode. If there is power there and no water is coming in, you will need to replace the water valve W10833899. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Bob June 27, 2011 for Model Number psd2450grw Want to make smaller ice cubes their so big they clog up the exit for ice. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Bob. If you remove the cover of the icemaker there is an adjustment screw on the side of the module. If you turn this screw clockwise, the unit lets in less water, which means smaller cubes. A little of a turn is alot in the process. Adjust it until you are happy with the cube size. Hope this helps.

Walter June 26, 2011 for Model Number KSSS48QKB00 Ordered this Icemaker because it looked identical to the one on our Kitchen Aid. I had to take the old icemaker out because the heater on the tray would not turn off, and this was causing the freezers temperature to rise. On installation of the new icemaker came to find that the old wire harness is hard wired into the back of the freezer, and that the sensor on the old wire harness is in a different position than the clip on the new icemaker. Is there a different part I need or is it the case I need a technician to come out and look at it?
2 Answers Walter, the easiest remedy at this point, use the original wire harness, Remove the white plastic front cover, turn the icemaker on it's side, so you can access the harness, where it enters the control module. Press in on the white plastic clip, with a small blade screw driver and pull out on the complete harness. Insert the harness and push in until the plastic clip snaps into place, and complete the repair. Thanks, and Good Luck. Read More...

2 Answers Hi Walter. The Ice maker needed for your model # is part # 4317943. The 3 wiring harness included inyour new kit should fit by simply pulling the molded end of the origional harness from the side of the inner cabinet. The "sensor" you asked about is a black molded fuse. Then find out which new harness will fit into the freezer wall by looking at your old plug and count the number of pin connections your cabinet has. You can try to use your existing harness if all else fails, but make sure the line fuse (black molded fuse) ohms closed. I hope this helps,let us know if we can help further. Thank-you. Read More...
Cecil B. June 26, 2011 for Model Number whirpool model #ED25PEXHW01 Water is coming very slow from water dispenser. I changed the water filter and have the same problem. Help please.
1 Answer Hello Cecil! Have you tried dispensing at least 2 qts continously through the dispenser after changing the filter? If an air pocket is in the line it can cause the dispenser to leak. If this does not correct the issue, you may have a defective inlet valve. Your part number is 2206123. Thanks! Read More...
Jackie L June 26, 2011 for Model Number MTB 195AR Have a maytag refrigerator with icemaker it makes the ice but drips into the tray. I get a big block of ice on bottom of tray. seems like we are getting 8 out of 10 cubes.
1 Answer Hello Jackie, please make sure the fill tube WP61005940 has not frozen over and does not drip over into the tray. The original icemaker for this unit should only make 8 cubes at a time, your water valve WP61005273 might be defective and over filling the icemaker. Hope this helps! Read More...

Joe L. June 20, 2011 for Model Number MTF1954ARW I contacted your website and followed questions that showed the symptoms of our ice maker. It would not completely stop filling after a cycle and then it would freeze and build up in the ice holding tray. I ordered and replaced the valve inlet on this Maytag refrigerator but the water still continues a bit after the ice tray is full and then freezes in the holding bin. Now what? Could it be a defective valve inlet or could it be something in the ice maker itself? The Maytag number for the ice maker kit is UKI1000AXX. Please help. Thanks.
