Chip July 22, 2017 for Model Number ptb2154grw The ice maker will work fine for a week or so. then it fills up with water and freezes solid. Wont dump ice. If I take the unit out and thaw it put it back in, it will work for a while again. This is the second ice maker to do that. This one I installed new in may this year. got any solutions? thanks
1 Answer Chip, You will want to check to make sure that at the times that the icemaker is not operating that the temperature in the freezer is not elevated. If it is not then this will likely be a issue with the thermostat on the icemaker that is faulty. Read More...
Bob April 26, 2017 for Model Number GS6NHAXVO01 I did a continuity check and thermostat did was open did not buss out. Is theromostat bad? Checked motor out and it was reading in K ohms?fsp part 627985 for thermostat.
1 Answer Bob, If the thermostat on the icemaker does not have continuity then it would be a faulty thermostat. Read More...
Wagner L April 06, 2017 for Model Number MFI2569VEM2 Ice box does not make ice. Disassembled the ice box, light maroon control board small motor runs (and white nylon gear) okay if plugged directly to 120Vac. Once installed it never runs, the ice separator fingers never move for days. Suspect thermostat. Once all the cables where disconnected from the control board on the back of the fridge, the thermostat pins on the cable show 60kO, what means open, that was at temperature without ice or water inside the ice maker. When the thermostat should close? what temperature? Found open IQ17 NPN transistor that controls M4 relay on the control board at the back of fridge, replaced, up to now nothing. I don't know what M4 relay feeds power. Lacking documentation and electric schematic. What do you suggest first before replacing the Ice Making unit ?
1 Answer Wagner, We do not have a rating on the cycling thermostat for the icemaker of the unit on resistance of the part. Based on what is going on with the unit not cycling then this would most likely be a faulty icemaker and would recommend replacing it. Read More...
Stretch March 08, 2017 for Model Number ice maker in whirlpool fridge My ice maker makes ice, drops ice and cycles. But it only makes maybe 2 pounds of ice a day. My freezer is set on zero degrees and the water level is correct, not too high. Could it be a bad thermostat? The unit is only 1 month old.
1 Answer Stretcj. This actually sounds like it would be normal as the normal cycle of an icemaker would be 5 or 8 cubes depending on model every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Read More...
Arvid March 03, 2017 for Model Number MFF2558VEW2 This refrigerator is about 6 years old the ice maker has never been hooked up. I finely hooked it up to water. It has water to it but will not make ice. I tried the 14 gauge wire in the t&h holes but it will not do anything . It will not cycle or fill with water. Please advise what the problem is . The freezer is working right.
1 Answer Arvid, The first thing to check would be to make sure that the icemaker harness is plugged in. If it is then this will most likely be caused by a faulty icemaker assembly. Read More...
Nathan September 22, 2016 for Model Number Maytag MFI2569VEM Icemaker does not produce ice cubes, instead it fills with water and freezes blocks of ice, approximately size of ice holding area.
1 Answer Hello Nathan. If the unit is overfilling, you will need to replace the water valve 67006322 on the unit. If the issue continues, then the icemaker WPW10190981 will need to be replaced as well. Read More...
Rob August 17, 2016 for Model Number MFI2665XEW7 Ice maker goes round and round and never calls for water there for never makes ice. changed duo valve changed larger board
1 Answer Hello Rob. Make sure the fill tube is not frozen. If not, you will need to replace the icemaker W10882923 in the unit. Read More...
Steve W. April 27, 2016 for Model Number wrt771rwyb01 My ice maker will make ice if I fill it with water but it will not turn the water on to fill the ice maker?
1 Answer Steve, If the ice maker advances/rotates and dispenses the cubes into the ice bucket, but doesn't fill to make more cubes, that isn't a thermostat problem. It's more likely to be a fill valve problem, or no water supply to the refrigerator. Try this, get a 2 or 3 inch piece of insulated 14 gauge wire, remove the insulation from both ends of the wire. Remove the ice maker front cover. insert one end of the wire into the opening labeled"T" and the other end of the wire into the "H" opening,Make sure you insert the wire deep enough to make contact with the internal terminals, hold the wire there until the rake arm starts to rotate and reaches the 8 0r 9 o'clock position then remove it and observe the rake arm rotate. If the rake arm doesn't start to rotate, then check or replace the thermostat and check the heater. Of the rake arm rotates but no water flows in when the rake arm reaches the 12 to 1 o'clock position, then check for water to the refrigerator and / or replace the fill valve. Read More...
Scott March 08, 2016 for Model Number GS6SHEXNS00 I have a Whirlpool gold GS6SHEXNS00, and the ice maker has stopped producing Ice. There is a full tray of ice in the ice assembly, but it is not being pushed out into the holding bucket. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Scott, This can be the optics W11629974 or the icemaker assembly 2198597. Read More...
Anthony February 12, 2016 for Model Number GS5SHAXTL01 My fridge is a Whirlpool side by side Mod # GS5SHAXTL01. I scrolled through part #s untill I was about to fall asleep. Can you tel me if this Icemaker Thermostat #627985 will fit my unit and also if its what I need. Ice maker makes Ice but sometime it seems to get out of sinc and the little funnel gets full, freezes and then it tries to add water to make more ice, resulting in water being sprayed all over the freezer. Also then the little rubber nipple where the water comes out has a plug of ice in it I have to try and squeeze out.
1 Answer Anthony, If the fill cup and tube are freezing then the thermostat would not be the issue and would be a issue of the water valve seeping causing the fill tube to freeze. You will want to replace the water valve. Read More...
