Chantel September 02, 2020 for Model Number ED5FHEXSQ02 My Solenoid is not moving up and down to switch from cubed to crushed ice. Can I take this out and test it somehow with like a voltmeter to make sure that is the broken part and not the switch in the door or wiring of some sort? Hate to purchase $75 part just to find out the problem is farther down the line. (I have a volt meter, but dont really know how to test this part using it. Any insight on that would be appreciated) Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Chantel, the manufacturer has not supplied the ohm value of the cube/crush solenoid, it does operate on 120v when activated, the plunger should slide smoothly into the solenoid, if the wire harnesses tat the top/bottom of the freezer door are not damaged, likely the cube/crush microswitch needs to be replaced.

David April 09, 2020 for Model Number MSD2572VEB00 My ice dispenser is not working. When I press the door switch, there is nothing. Everything is unlocked. When I remove the ice tray, I can function the auger by hand. What is the problem?
1 Answer David, if water will dispense when selected, then the auger motor WPW10317991 would need to be tested for 120VAC while the door switch is taped shut. If there is 120VAC, the auger motor would need to be replaced. If there is not 120VAC, the wiring at the hinge would need to be inspected for any damaged wires. If there is a damaged wire and it can not be repaired, the door LW10201135 would need to be replaced. Unfortunately, the door has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

Jason October 01, 2019 for Model Number Whirlpool ED5RHGXMQ10 This ice maker is driving me bananas. I've replaced the ice maker and the water solenoid with new genuine Whirlpool parts. Still no ice. Is there a fuse, or relay that could be causing the ice maker to get no power? I have 120V at the connector to the ice maker, but still no ice being made. I tried a jumper, and I cannot force it to do a dump cycle either. Any other suggestions?
1 Answer Jason, the ice maker 4317943 wire harness that runs from the ice maker to the connector at the auger assembly does have an internal fuse on the black wire. This can be tested for continuity. As the ice maker was jumped from T to H and did not go into a harvest cycle, this would indicate either a wire issue, or the ice maker having failed. Read More...
Mark February 12, 2019 for Model Number Kenmore 106.51762510 My ice maker quit working so I replaced entire ice maker and still not working. Arm that judges full ice compartment or not is stuck up so no ice making. Would new solenoid be possible answer?
1 Answer Mark, the bale arm that measures the amount of ice in the bucket should be down. Check the slot where the arm pushes into the front of the motor module, is it in the right position? It should move freely up and down and when it is in the run position, it should be all the way down. Read More...
The Vegas Guy January 07, 2019 for Model Number MSD2576VEM00 I am looking for an electrical wiring diagram for the unit. specifically the freezer area. Having issues with the ice dispenser auger. A while back I had it not wanting to stop once after dispensing ice through the door. Opening the freezer door stopped the unit. After pulling the ice tray and looking around it was fixed. Not sure what I did but it started working normally. Approximately 1 month later it did it again. But I could not get it to stop unless the door was open. I removed the NO/NC switch assy so I could close the door. I started to troubleshoot and removed the dispenser in the door. With the dispenser unit removed along with the controlling circuit boards. The unit continues to want to run if I rewire the switch assy. back into the top of the freezer body door frame. I am unable to find any electrical drawings to see if there might be a control relay that feeds the auger motor that might be stuck closed causing it to run constantly. Any assistance or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Vegas Guy, This issue is normally caused by a sticking actuator switch W10176455 in the dispenser control. I'm sorry but this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Malcom June 21, 2016 for Model Number whirlpool ed5gvexvd00 What causes water to freeze in line to icemaker?
B.T. April 11, 2016 I have a Model # SS25AFXMQ00 KIRKLAND Side-by-Side Refrigerator. The Ice Dispenser only dispenses crushed ice. The solenoid that operates the flapper is good but is not receiving any voltage. I have checked the continuity of the cubed ice switch, door switch and dispenser switch. The control bracket is in good condition. Any suggestions? Where can I find an electrical schematic for the refrigerator? Thanks in advance for your help.
1 Answer Hello B.T., We attempted to send you the tech sheet but the e-mail failed permanently. Read More...
Robert Fidlin April 01, 2016 for Model Number 10654292400 When I press the button to dispense ice it makes a clicking noise When I moved the seloinoid nothing happens I am assuming the solenoid is faulty
1 Answer Robert, It would be suggested that if the auger is not turning on then check to see if the auger motor is getting 120 vac to it. It does not sound like the solenoid would be the issue but more likely the auger motor or the switch in the dispenser assembly. Read More...
John February 17, 2016 for Model Number Maytag MSD2574VEM11 Ice dispenser doesn't stop when the button is released. Switch behind button seams to work since there is a clicking sound when it is pushed. But dispenser doesn't stop when button is released.
1 Answer John, There is a possibility of a switch that is faulty on the pad or the dispenser control board would possibly be faulty. If you access the tech sheet from under the front of the unit, there will be a pad and button test that you can do to test the pads on the unit. Read More...
Gerald February 13, 2015 for Model Number GD25BFCHB01 Water dispenser began working only part time and acted this way for a good long time. Then the ice dispenser began dispensing crushed ice only. Think there may be a connection? I was planning to replace the solenoid. What else would you suggest?
2 Answers Gerald, For the unit only dispensing crushed ice, you will want to check to make sure that the solenoid is not stuck in the up position. If the solenoid is not stuck then you would want to replace the solenoid. Read More...
