Mark May 12, 2011 for Model Number Samsung RS2555SL The answer to my first question makes sense and I have replaced the ice maker assembly twice and the tray isn't warped. I'm assuming it must now be the water valve, but I would like to watch it fill the tray so I can be sure. How do I force it to fill the tray while I am watching? Also, is the water valve on the back of the frig?
1 Answer Hello Mark. There is a button on the bottom of the icemaker that you press to harvest the icemaker. Yes, the water valve is on the back of the refrigerator. Hope this helps. Read More...
Mark May 12, 2011 for Model Number Samsung RS2555SL My ice maker is making a huge glob of ice in the bin and then the corkscrew spins the whole glob and tears off the wires. I think I have tracked it down to one problem. When it turns on the water to fill the tray, it either fills the tray to full and overflows into the bin or the water is splashing out of the tray. My water pressure is 60 PSI. I have replaced parts on this thing several times and it just keeps doing the same thing. I'm ready to blow up my frig....any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Mark. Check and see if the icemaker tray is warped. If so, you will need to replace the icemaker DA97-00258G. If it is good, you will need to replace the water valve DA74-40150H. Hope this helps. Read More...
Melody May 09, 2011 for Model Number Whirlpool ice maker 106.626133 (1987) My dad's ice maker is no longer working and I want to replace it. Will AP2984633 be the appropriate replacement? The refrigerator is a Whirlpool side by side.
1 Answer Hello Melody. Can you check the model number? The one you provided is not working. Thanks. Read More...
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.

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!
