Bob May 16, 2020 for Model Number WRX735SDHZ00 My ice maker does not appear to cycle enough. Ice bin was empty last night but only made 1 batch by morning. I hear the Ice dump and water refill, but takes forever to dump again. Can you adjust frequency?
1 Answer Hello Bob, there is no adjustment to speed up ice making, since the ice maker did harvest and refill then electrically it is working , the problem may be getting the ice maker to get cold enough fast enough, behind the ice maker there is an auxiliary ice fan that helps with this, if you do not hear it running it would explain the problem also the freezer should be at 0-5 deg.

Lebrun James March 27, 2020 for Model Number Wrx735sdbmoo Water at door but no water going into ice maker. Made continuity test nothing happened. Door shut offs all work
1 Answer Lebrun, For this issue, you will want to test to see if the water valve is getting 120 Vac to it when the icemaker calls for water. If not then the icemaker would be the issue and if there is then the issue will be the water valve. Read More...
Jeff April 13, 2019 for Model Number GI6DRXXY00 Wpw10300024 ice maker I see tab on lower left so you pull tab out of hole than what pull unit up or forward or what can’t get it to move to pull out
1 Answer Jeff, I can relate to what you are going through in getting this icemaker out. Take a small flat blade screwdriver and insert it into the plastic cover on the left side of the housing, push down to release the cover, unplug the connection. Now, push the tab that holds the icemaker and pull the entire icemaker assembly out, it can be hard to remove, it should come out, it takes some effort to get it out. Good Luck! Read More...
Rudy Janis March 02, 2019 for Model Number W10300024 I have a Whirlpool French Dr ref. it is not making ice. I have checked the ice maker and there is no power between terminal L and N. I am not sure of the coding on the terminal block wiring but where else do I check?
1 Answer Rudy, First, make sure the freezer door light switch is pressed in or taped closed. When the freezer drawer is opened, power to the ice maker is eliminated, so there is no operation or chance of spillage. When you test the ice maker, with the door switch taped shut, the N(neutral) opening is in the 1 o'clock position, and the L(line voltage) is at the 7 o'clock position. Make sure yo insert the meter leads deep enough into the holes, to make contact with the internal connection inside the control head. You can also use a 4 in. 14 awg insulated jumper wire, remove 3/4 in. of the insulation from both ends, and insert the ends into the T and H openings (4 and 5 o'clock) hold it there until the arm starts to rotate and reaches the 9 o'clock position, then remove the jumper wire, and allow the ice maker to perform the test mode, to see what does or doesn't occur. Please remember to include the model number of the refrigerator if you should need more assistance. Thanks, Read More...
Amanda March 14, 2017 for Model Number MFI2569YEW0 Our ice maker isn't making ice. we still have cold water at the door. just no ice. there isn't ice backed up in the tray. you can push the paddle on the door and it will turn the auger to drop ice thru the door. but no ice. I pulled the ice maker out and there wasn't anything frozen over. There was no water in the tray when I pulled it out either.
1 Answer Hello Amanda. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Rick February 20, 2017 for Model Number Ice maker W10300024 The icemaker seems to be functioning fine but the ice melts into a pile in the bottom of the ice bin to the point where it won't rotate and push out eyes out the door. The ice is totally frozen in the bottom of the tray so temperature doesn't seem to be an issue. I'm wondering if there is a thermostat issue that heats the ice too much before ejecting Thanks
1 Answer Rick, Yes there is a mold heater in the base of the ice maker, but it is only energized for a minute or so " the mold temperature must drop to around 15°F before the thermostat closes. This assures that the water is completely frozen before the ice maker attempts to eject the ice. The closing of the thermostat energizes a mold heater and starts the icemaker motor. The purpose of the heater is to raise the temperature of the mold above 32°F. Eject- With the mold heater energized, the ice in the mold begins to melt, freeing the ice from the mold. At the same time, the icemaker motor turns an ejector blade which lifts the ice out of the mold and dumps it into the ice bucket." In the few minutes it takes the ice maker to complete the cycle, there shouldn't be enough heat generated to melt the cubes in tyhe bin and produce a puddle of water. We're thinking when you check the ice maker you'll find that the ice maker is over filling, or the fill valve isn't closing completely and water is "dripping" into the ice maker and down into the bin and freezing. That's more common than an overheating ice maker. Read More...
Mark January 22, 2017 for Model Number GI6FDRXXY010 My ice maker is not making ice. I have good water pressure at the feed and at the door. The fill tube is also clear. I jumped T and H and the tines rotated and it then filled. The cubes froze and were ejected. But it did not fill after ejecting and has not made any more ice.
1 Answer Hello Mark, This will be a bad cycling thermostat WP627985 in the icemaker assembly. You will also need the thermal mastic 5303307896 for this parts' installation. Read More...
Scott December 15, 2016 for Model Number GI6SARXXF02 My icemaker wasn't making ice. I took it apart and saw the funnel was frozen. I cleaned the unit and put it back, The unit is getting water, freezes, but now doesn't drop ice. It's getting power, and after jumpering the T-H, I have been able to rotate the tines. Is there anything else I can do to jumpstart the sequence. Or do I need to replace some or all of the unit. Thanks for the info.
1 Answer Hello Scott, You will need to order the icemaker cycling thermostat WP627985 and the thermal cement WP4317852. Read More...
Kenn May 25, 2016 for Model Number MFI2569YEM0 How do you properly remove the ice maker is seem to be stuck and I'm afraid I may break it if I pull to hard(locking tab being pressed while pulling)?
1 Answer Hello Kenn. You have to remove the ice bin. Then insert a screwdriver into the cover on the left side and release the tab and slide it off the unit. Some have 1 screw that has to be removed on the cover also. Once removed, unplug the wire and release the locking tab and pull it out of the unit. Read More...
Kevin January 13, 2016 for Model Number Gi6fdrxxyo2 Ice maker not making any ice at all. Water works in the door but no ice at all. Do I need an entire new ice maker? Or could it possibly be a module?
