Larry May 07, 2011 for Model Number 106.70162990 Ice maker is not getting water to it. I checked for power at the valve and moved the arm up/down but still no power. Could the problem be the valve? I'm not sure if I should replace the valve or look at another part of the actual ice maker. Thank you
1 Answer Hello Larry. If the icemaker is cycling, but not sending power to the valve, you will need to replace the icemaker. You will only have power for a few seconds when the icemaker is in harvest mode. If there is power there, but the valve does not bring in water, you will need to replace the water valve WP2315576. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. 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 May 07, 2011 for Model Number 596.72282202 My icemaker no longer makes ice. There is no water in the unit...previously it made ice but then seemed to over flow and cause all of the ice to freeze together. For the past 6 months the unit has only made ice intermittently and has only recently tried to over flow. Currently I hear the water valve cycle occasionly but there is no no water or ice.The water dispenser in the refrigerator works fine. Do I just need a valve or the icemaker as well?
1 Answer Hello Bob! If you can manually cycle the ice maker and the ice maker cycles, you will need to check the fill tube. Make sure that the fill tube is not frozen or has developed any leaks. If that is fine, replace the valve. You will need to check both the primary WP12544002 and secondary valve 12002193 on your unit to see which one is getting power and not letting water through. If the ice maker is not cycling then replace the ice maker part number D7824706Q. Hope this information helps! Read More...
Dana May 06, 2011 for Model Number ED5VHEXVQ01 The wire arm to my ice maker is not lifting to the off postition to stop the ice from being made. So ice is continually being made & overflowing my ice tray. Also one side of the wire has even come detached. Is there a way I can fix this(And if so how) or does the unit need to be replaced? Any feed back would be great. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Dana. If the wire is not locking into the shut off position, you will need to replace the icemaker module 8201515 to fix the problem. You can reattach the wire arm and see if that helps the unit to shut off. Hope this helps. Read More...
Regina May 05, 2011 for Model Number 106.56182500 How difficult is it to replace an ice maker on your own? I have a kenmore side by side fridge white.
1 Answer Hello Regina. These are not to hard to do. Remove the ice bucket assembly. Then there are three screws holding the icemaker in place. Two on the top of the icemaker mold, and one under the bottom. Remove the screws and unplug the old icemaker. Reinstall in reverse order with the new icemaker. Hope this helps. Read More...
Jamie May 03, 2011 for Model Number 106.9751720 Thanks for the directions! I am getting 13.5 volts at the valve and the ice maker is still overflowing.
1 Answer Hello Jamie. If the icemaker is sending voltage when it should shut off, then the icemaker is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Jamie May 02, 2011 for Model Number 106.9751720 The water to my ice maker never stops and overflows the entire ice bucket, causing a nice tidal wave onto my kitchen floor when the door is opened! Is it the valve or the ice maker?
1 Answer Hello Jamie. You will need to check and see if the icemaker is sending power to the valve. If there is no power there, but the water continues to run, you will need to replace the valve WP2315576. If there is power there, you will need to replace the icemaker. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Beth April 29, 2011 for Model Number 106.50584001 It states "This model does not fit refrigerators that have the ice auger assembly mounted on the door and the electronic sensor to sense ice level." Is there a model that does? This looks exactly like the part I need. Thanks in advance for your time!

Rick C. April 24, 2011 for Model Number 59653469300 My ice maker is dripping slowly when new ice is made, however after I removed the unit there is no leak at all. I assume the valve is OK. I looked inside the ice maker and in the front left it appears that the coating is chipped off and separating from the ice maker. Assuming the valve does not leak, is this the problem as the missing coating is where the plastic ice cube ejection auger rotates?
1 Answer Hello Rick. If the coating is coming off the icemaker, you will need to replace it. I would make sure the valve is not leaking. If it is good, then the icemaker should fix the problem. If the valve is bad, I would replace both parts, due to the coating issue. Hope this helps. Read More...
Mamag April 21, 2011 for Model Number Maytag model MSD2454FR* My icemaker doesn't make ice cubes anymore - it makes noises like it is working, but nothing is happening. The refrigerator still dispenses water, but I think my icemaker is shot. Which ice maker replacement part do I need?
1 Answer Hello! Is water getting to the ice maker? If not, make sure that the fill tube is not blocked with ice or clogged. If its not, replace the valve 61005626. If it is, make sure that the freezer is freezing between 0-5 degrees and replace the ice maker D7824706Q. Hope this helps! Read More...
Ken April 21, 2011 for Model Number MSD2454GRW I replaced my Maytag icemaker with the AP4135008 direct replacement after it stopped working. It is now making ice but some are hollow and the ones that are full are not frozen through, liquid inside. These sometimes break on ejection and cause an ice puddle in the bottom of the tray. Is there some kind of ajustment I need to do?
1 Answer Hello Ken! The ice maker replacement [D7824706Q] is correct for your model MSD2454GRW. You will need to check your water filter EDR7D1 and make sure it has good flow and is not goin out. If the water filter is good, you will need to replace the water valve 61005626. Hope this helps! Read More...
