Joseph September 05, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool icemaker I have a icemaker that is dripping in ice bucket then freezing making a clump of ice sticking together is that the cycling thermastat
1 Answer Joseph, No, the cycling thermostat is not a likely culprit. The thermostat controls the power to the ice maker motor, when the 14 dgrs. is reached, the thermostat closes and allows power to the motor and the ice maker cycles and dumps the cubes in the ice bin. Water dripping into the ice maker and bin is usually due to a "seaping" water inlet valve on the back of the refrigerator. Read More...
Farns July 01, 2014 for Model Number S106626662 ice maker Whirlpool Hello, my Whirlpool ice maker #S106626662 will make ice, but will not dump it. If I take the ice maker cover off and try to rotate the large white wheel/gear slightly back and forth, it will start to cycle and move. Sometimes I have to do this twice and then it will dump the ice. It will start all over, filling up and then not dump again. It makes me think something isn't sending a signal that the ice is ready to go. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Farns, This is an internal issue with the icemaker and will be corrected by replacing the assembly. Read More...
Miles May 12, 2014 for Model Number MZD2752GRW The water supply to my ice maker keeps filling and overflows. What controls the water supply and where is it located? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Miles. The water valve 61005626 located on the back of the unit may be the issue. Make sure there is no power coming to it. If there is power, replace the icemaker. If there is no power, replace the valve. 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...
Jay May 09, 2014 for Model Number ET1RHMXKT01 What part, or parts, of the ice making cycle does the Cycling Thermostat control? Filling and dumping? What tells the ice maker to dump ice cubes when they are ready?
1 Answer Hello Jay, The cycling thermostat monitors the temperature of the water in the ice mold. When it is cold enough, (about 20°F), the thermostat will close and start the harvest mode. Read More...
Jay May 09, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool ET1RHMXKT01 Ice maker challenge: IM will not dump ice when ready. If you pull IM, defrost cubes, drain, reinstall, short the motor, TxH, IM will engage, fully run, and re-fill. IM will operate perfectly for 5-7 days then will not dump ice. Thoughts?
1 Answer Hello Jay. Make sure the temp in the freezer is between 0 and 5°. If so, then you will need to replace the icemaker in the unit. Read More...
Judy April 08, 2014 for Model Number ED25QFXHT01 I have the thermostat knobs turned up to the highest reading and still it will occassionally shut off and stuff starts to defrost. If I turn the knobs down and back up and bang on the front of the refrigerator it will kick back on. What needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Judy, This is either going to be a bad electrical connection or the thermostat WP2198202 is failing. Read More...
Glenn March 25, 2014 for Model Number ksrk25ilss01 should there be a resistance reading across the poles of this (if good) thermostat and if so what
1 Answer Glenn, No, there will not be a resistance reading if the thermostat is at room temperature. If you can take the thermostat and drop it in a glass of ice water for a few minutes , it has to reach a temperature of 14 degrees, then the circuit will "close" and have a resistance reading.

1 Answer Hello Anne. If you look on the parts page WP627985, there is an instructional video to show how to replace the thermostat. Thanks. Read More...
Jack December 02, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool model ED2JHGXRB02 Freezer is set to coldest setting, but ice maker cycles and dumps the ice before it is solid - splashing water in the ice bin. This ends up freezing the shut-off arm in the down position - and the ice (and water) continues to overflow the bin into the freezer. This is at a cabin with infrequent use - and I've had as much as 50 lbs of ice in the freezer. Any ideas on what would cause it to dump the ice before it's time?
1 Answer Hello Jack. The temp in the freezer is to cold. It needs to be between 0 and 5° in the freezer. Read More...
