Karie October 14, 2015 How can I tell if my thermostat is bad? Ice maker106 626639. When I jumper wire N to M the motor spins, the fill wire rises and falls, the water turns on and off. It seems to do a complete cycle but does not make new ice.
1 Answer Hello Karie. It should close when it gets below 15°. If not, it is bad. Make sure your freezer is 0 to 5°. Read More...
S October 12, 2015 for Model Number et20gmxsw02 My ice maker want pump water to the ice maker. I have replaced the solenoid at the back of the refrig already.
1 Answer Hello S. 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.

J.F. August 24, 2015 for Model Number GB2SHDXTQDD My ice maker is still making ice, but only half as much as it used to. The ice it does make is frozen and everything else in the freezer is frozen. What needs fixing?
1 Answer Hello J.F., You will need to make sure the freezer temperature is between -2°F and 10°F. If it is below these temperatures, the icemaker will have problems harvesting, extending the time between harvests. Everything else sounds normal. Read More...
Jim O August 16, 2015 for Model Number whirlpool icemaker W10365048 Thermostat 627985 controls cycling of the icemaker. Can this thermostat be replaced with a thermostat that has a higher closing temp. The icemaker will make ice faster instead of the 1 1/2 to 2 hour time now required. Right now, just with 2 people, the ice maker can't keep up with usage.
1 Answer Jim, Unfortunately the thermostat for the icemaker cannot be changed to one with a higher losing thermostat. There is not one that is available that is higher closing. Also the problem this would pose would be the icemaker cycling before the water is completely froze and causing the cubes to be hollow or not completely frozen. This would cause clumping of ice from water running out of the ice and causing the clumping. Read More...

Robert March 18, 2015 for Model Number WRX735SDBM00 My ice maker has recently stopped working. I have had the refrigerator for about a year and four months. It has always had water connected to it. The water supply is on and water dispenses as it should. The ice maker is turned on per the user manual. I have felt inside and it feels like there is ice in the mold. Periodically, I hear a fan kick on for about 1-2 seconds, then it shuts off. It sounds like it is coming from the ice maker area. Any help is greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Robert. 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.

Kurt P. November 10, 2014 for Model Number ED2KHAXVO We are shutting the house down for the Winter and always blow all the water lines out with compressed air. How can we shortcycle the ice maker to clear those lines. Last year we thought we cleared it but in the spring we found the water valve broken and had to replace it
1 Answer Kurt, It'll be a little difficult, but doable. You'll need a short length(2 or 3 inches) of insulated 14 gauge wire, and strip both ends of the wire. Once you turn off the water supply, remove the white plastic front cover off the ice maker, and tape the freezer door switch down/closed. On the front of the mechanism plate at roughly the 4 and 5 o'clock position you'll see two openings labeled "T" and "H" insert the ends of the wire in the openings and hold it there until the rake arm starts to rotate, then remove the wire. The ice maker should cycle through to a complete cycle. You my want to repeat the test cycle again a few minutes later. Read More...
