Gwen S October 27, 2016 for Model Number KSCS2SFKSS01 I ordered a micro switch but it turns out my model has two micro switches on each side. How would I switch the water and the ice to see which needs to be changed. Do you have a video for that?
1 Answer Gwen, You would simply disconnect the wiring from the switches and to remove the switch you would lift up on the pins on the outer parts of the switch and slide switch out. Read More...
Ken January 28, 2016 for Model Number GS6SHAXLS02 whirlpool Before I order a microswitch (ap3131893) for the ice maker can I switch the water switch with the ice switch to see if that is the problem?
Wes January 25, 2016 for Model Number ED2KHAXVQ01 Water dispenser not dispensing when pushbutton filter is installed in grill. Normal dispensing occurs when filter is removed. Filter has been replaced twice thinking there may be blockage. Originally, the problem was cleared with the filter replacement. Few days later, problem reoccurred and had not worked since when filter is installed. Prior to total failure, there was a hornlike sound when lever was pushed to attempt dispensing water through filter. The hornlike sound does not occur now when lever is pushed and still no water when filter is installed.
1 Answer Hello Wes, You should open the dispense area to inspect for broken pins that should be securing the microswitches on the control bracket W10762670. This is the most likely cause of the complete stoppage while the sound is normally attributed to water valve W10822681 failure. Read More...
Mac June 16, 2015 I have a whirlpool side by side that will not dispense water. No power going to valve. Repair man said its most likely the control board. Could it be the micro switch? How do set multi meter to check micro switch?
1 Answer Hello Mac. It could be the switch. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Francisco C. January 15, 2015 for Model Number ED2VHEXTQ01 Ice maker is working fine (no water). How do I know which part is bad, inlet valve or micro switch?
1 Answer Hello Francisco, The micro switch in the dispense area will have nothing to do with water fill. If the water valve receives 120Vac for the 6 to 7 seconds it is supposed to during the icemakers' cycle, the water valve is bad. If it never sends the voltage to the water valve, the contacts inside the icemaker have failed and the icemaker will need to be replaced. Read More...
Brian December 24, 2014 for Model Number kenmore elite model# 106-72206201 the water dispenser is mounted inside the fridge and water just runs out
1 Answer Brian, The first check should be a clogged filter or low water pressure. If your sure those are OK, then check for a stuck actuator switch WP2162361 or stuck button 2210502. Remove the two mounting screws and lower the assembly and check the button and switch, before you remove or check the operation of the individual components. Read More...
Pat A October 24, 2014 I have an Estate refigerator . Our front door ice dispencer has went crazy. When we shift the control from crushed to regular cubes it continues to give crushed ice .What do we need to do to it ?
1 Answer Pat, Check the crushed/cube solenoid by the auger motor to make sure that is not stuck in the up position and the ice bin arm is in it properly. If it is stuck then you will want to get it back to the down position. This should correct the issue and if not then the solenoid would be faulty and need to be replaced. Read More...
Susan August 25, 2014 for Model Number Kitchen Aid KSRP25FSWHOO The ice dispenser does not work. There is plenty of ice and the chute opens, but there is no sound when the dispenser is pressed. Can you tell me what is needed for this?
1 Answer Hello Susan. You will need to check the motor WP2188860 in the unit. If there is power to it, and it does not run, it needs to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...

It begins the cycle, but will not transitoin out of the wash cycle and continues to run, and run, and run until the cycle is cancelled. What part should I order to repair that?
