Customer Questions and Answers for Replacement Icemaker by Whirlpool

Hello Mike thanks for contacting AppliancePartsPros.com Removing the ice maker will not impact operation of the fridge.

Hello Mike, and thank you for your question. It sounds like the ice maker has failed as raising the ice level arm does not stop ice production.

Terry, Thank you for your question. The correct icemaker for this unit will be 4317943.

Hello JSkiff, thank you for contacting Appliance Parts Pros. This could be a water valve [WPW10279909] or ice maker [4317943] issue. There is no good way to figure out which it is without replacing at least one of those components.

Hello Mr. Munro, thank you for contacting APP, Turning the adjustment screw clockwise decreases the fill amount and counter-clockwise increases the fill amount. This screw will turn one full turn in either direction from the default fill level position. If you are adjusting the fill level you will need to turn that screw in increments, usually about 1/8 to 1/4 turn, and then test the fill amount by activating the icemaker's harvest cycle.

Ava, Based on the description of the issue this will likely require a replacement ice maker.

Hello Jim, thank you for contacting APP, The icemaker leaking and overfilling will be either an issue with the Icemaker 4317943 or the Water Valve W10408179. If the icemaker is immediately leaking after it fills then I would suspect the icemaker as the issue, but it could be either.

Hello Greg, thank you for contacting APP, The Icemaker(IM) D7824706Q should be a direct 1:1 replacement for your original IM, the video attached to D7824706Q is for the front-to-back install instead of the side-to-side install, but these IMs are also known as Modular Icemakers due to the fact they were used across many different units and installed a few different ways, there shouldn't be any issues between the new IM and your unit with the fill tube placement.

Joe, The cycle time is based on the temperature which should be below 8-10°f. Ensure the temperature drops below these temperatures or the ice maker won't cycle. This could be a cooling issue instead of an ice maker issue.

Dan, Remove the cover of the icemaker and on the left side there will be a tab you push in on and then slide the wiring harness out.
