Glenn June 17, 2019 Ice maker under counter Kitchenaid made 10/98. Makes good ice but ice cutter not cutting ice. Checked grid and it is good. looking at transformer? Suggestions!
1 Answer Hello Glenn,the transformer sends out 8.5 vac to the cutter grid. Check if that voltage is showing up at the cutter grid wire terminals using a multimeter. If it is there then check for continuity on the cutter grid wire or a resistance check on the cutter grid wire would be around 5 ohms. Read More...
Tom March 24, 2012 for Model Number kuia18nnjs5 Makes ice sheet that slides on to grid, grid does not cut. Grid wires appear intact.
1 Answer Tom, You'll need to disconnect the cutter grid wiring harness from the side panel of the cabinet and check for 4 to 5 ohms resistance across the two wires, with a multimeter. If you have the proper resistance, the cutter grid is good, and you'll need a control board WP2304016 if not, the grid wire 4387020 is "open" and will need to be replaced. Heres some meter usage information should you need it : [http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html] Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Therese M. May 24, 2011 for Model Number KSCS25INSS00 My ice maker stopped working over a year ago and I have been making my own ice cubes.The water in the door works fine and the container for the cubes works fine.We decided we wanted to try to get the ice maker going again so we first started by replacing the ice maker. I have now replaced the whole ice maker and today the new valve inlet arrived and we have replaced that.The water is still not getting up to the ice maker and nothing is frozen.When we disconnect the hose for the water leading to the freezer for the ice maker it flows fine.I also just replaced a new filter.What else could possibly be wrong?Is there a fuse anything else that would not allow the water to get up to the ice maker?This refrigerator is just 5 years old and still looks new.When the ice maker stopped originally it was all of a sudden and one day it was fine and just stopped.At first we did all the trouble shooting in the book and everything seemed fine except it was not working.This has been very frustrating.What else can you tell us could be wrong.Thanks for your input.
1 Answer Hello Therese. You may want to test the voltage going up to the icemaker with a multi meter MA-DM1 to ensure it is getting power. I will include a link to an article detailing how to test various parts with a meter. You may also want to check the wiring that runs through the fridge to ensure that no wires are cut or burnt out. I hope this info helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Therese M. May 16, 2011 for Model Number KSCS25INSS00 My refrigerator is only 5 years old and like new.Over a year ago the ice maker stopped making ice and we did all the trouble shouting as in the manual and it was none of those problems.I didn't do anything about it and just started making my own ice cubes.The water is fine and I use the ice tray to put my cubes into and the dispenser is fine.My husband just replace the whole ice maker which I ordered and still nothing is working.The sensor indicator lights are also working as it states on your website.I'm wondering if the transformer may be the problem?What does this part do and where is it located?I am totally puzzled and frustrated with all of this.Looking forward to your input.Thank-you
1 Answer Hello Therese. You will need to test the water valve and see if the icemaker is sending power to it. You can remove the icemaker water line off the valve and cycle the icemaker. While the icemaker is cycling, you will need to test and see if there is power coming to the valve. If there is power there, but no water comes out, you will need to replace the water valve W10247725. If there is power and water comes out, you will need to thaw out the fill tube, because it is frozen. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
