David June 27, 2022 for Model Number AFI2538AES4 Water hose into refrigerator vibrating with associated noise even when not using water or ice dispenser. I replace the filter noise went away for a week and has now come back. Please help. I just lowered the water pressure with the valve behind the frig in the wall and no noise now but I'm sure it's not a legit fix. Please help, thank you. David
1 Answer Hello David, the water filter head needs to be replaced which is part of the water tank assembly WP12956202. Read More...
Rick January 13, 2022 for Model Number WRF555SDFZ05 My icemaker was overfilling the tray and water was leaking into the bin and freezing. I replaced the water inlet valve and it is still overfilling the trays. When the icemaker produces a new set of cubes, the tray fills and you can see water dripping, at least a quarter of a cup, from the tray.
1 Answer Hello Rick, This can be caused by low water pressure to the water valve or by a set of contacts in the icemaker WPW10300024 sticking. Read More...
Yogesh September 22, 2021 for Model Number MFI2568AEB I have Maytag refrigerator MFI2568AEB. about couple of weeks ago, icemaker stopped making ice but the water dispenser worked. I checked the water inlet value by disconnecting connector cables from both solenoid valves and applying 120 V to each solenoid pins. The ice maker solenoid was bad. I replaced the inlet value. First few days after replacement I got good amount of ice regularly. Last few days, however, I noticed that the ice making cycle is very long. Overnight (8 hours), I get ice from only one cycle (8-10 pieces). Water does not fill in once ice is dropped in the bucket. Then suddenly after few hours I hear water filling in. I am sensing some sensor has gone bad. What could be wrong? Is there any way to diagnose and repair the ice maker circuit without replacing the entire ice maker unit?
1 Answer Sorry, Yogesh. The issue is in the ice maker assembly and the only thing W10583817 you can do is replace it. Read More...
John June 10, 2021 for Model Number MFI2568AEW No water or ice dispenses when flap is depressed with a cup. No noise or light comes on when flap is depressed either. All other lights work on the panel on front of fridge.
1 Answer John, the microswitch of the chute and paddle assembly WP13005701W would need to be tested for continuity after unplugging the refrigerator power cord. When the paddle is pressed, there should be continuity. If not, the assembly would need to be replaced. If there is continuity, the failure would likely be in the dispenser control W10775847.

Ted January 10, 2021 for Model Number MFI2269VEA0 The icemaker stopped making ice. The auger and blower fan still works. I replaced the ice maker and it still does not work. I checked the water line from the inlet valve and it is not blocked. The water dispenser still works. When I typed the model # in on your website it says it is invalid but it is the number on the data label. I get the same response from the Maytag/Whirlpool website. The following information is from the water inlet valve as I think this is the only other part that might be causing the problem: Invensys K-76376 Brown 35W; Yellow - 20W
1 Answer Ted, With the door switch closed you should read 120 VAC at the black and white wires to your ice maker. If no voltage is found then check the same wires where your ice maker plugs in because there is a thermal in the black wire. If no voltage found then check J2 connector pins 8 and J1 pin 8 on your main control for 120 VAC with door shut. For internal checks tape the light switch closed. Only other issue could be temps in the ice box. You need around zero degrees for the ice maker to cycle. If it is a temp problem you will need to check the coils for a defrost issue or sealed system issue. Read More...
Glenn R. December 14, 2020 for Model Number Maytag MFI2569VEB2 The ice maker quit working but the water dispenser worked fine. I purchased and installed a new water inlet valve 67006322 (AP4081950). The installation video was awesome and said wait a few hours for the ice maker to start. After 6 hours nothing. Any other service articles or what to look at next? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Glenn, You should use a straw or similar item to run up into the fill tube to ensure it is not blocked with clear ice. If clear, the next step will be to replace the icemaker assembly WPW10190981. As a note, D7824706Q can be substituted in place of this part. Read More...
Larry July 06, 2020 for Model Number MFI2568AEB Ice Maker stopped making ice and doesn't even fill with water but the water dispenser is working fine. Checked the water valve and it read 178 when tested on the 200 Ohm setting. The water tube seems fine and not frozen. Is there anyway to test the Ice Maker on this model? The ice maker has a black On/Off Switch on the right front of the cover.
1 Answer Larry, We will send you a tech sheet with service mode you can test functions of the ice maker. Pay attention to tests 113,145,151,152,192,193 Read More...
John April 30, 2020 for Model Number MFI2569VEM I went out of town for about a week and after I came back I got some ice from the ice maker. The next morning there was a puddle of water in front of the refrigerator. I was finally able to determine that the funnel to the ice maker filled which caused water to spill out into the ice bin and ice maker compartment then froze. I assume the problem is with either the ice maker or the water inlet valve, but which one or how do I determine the culprit?
1 Answer John, if water is continuing to fill the ice maker when there is no voltage being applied (usually there is a sign of water freezing at the fill tube), the valve 67006322 will have failed. If water is not continuing to flow into the ice maker, it is likely that the ice maker WPW10190981 is calling for too much water. Read More...
Peter April 11, 2020 for Model Number AFI2538AES Hello, I have a loud noise coming from the inlet valve when I use the water dispenser. The ice maker works, not an issue. When we use the water dispenser it is slow and makes a grinding noise with the water pulsating as it keeps beat with the obnoxious noise. Do you think it could be the inlet water valve? Water does flow, but a very weak pressure. I see no leaks anywhere, and we recently installed a new water filter. Thanks, Peter
1 Answer Hello Peter, this is usually caused by a problem in the filter head housing, you can test this by installing the bypass plug that came with the ref , just use it in place of the filter cartridge, if the noise stops replace the filter head assembly WP12956202. You can also test the valve by accessing it behind the fresh food section rear right side service panel and disconnect the output water tube that goes to the water dispenser if it is in the valve the part is 67006322.

Paul February 08, 2020 for Model Number MFI2568AEW After installing A AP4081940 Water inlet value in a Whirlpool French door refrigerator, is there a way to reset the ice machine? Or do you just need to wait a few hours to see if it fills?
1 Answer Paul, It will take a while for the unit to cycle and start filling the bin. Even the first fill might be a small batch if air was in the lines. We suggest a full day and if it was repaired the ice bin should be close to full. Read More...
