Joe February 06, 2016 for Model Number GI6FDRXXY09 I have removed the bottom panel behind the fridge and i do not have this inlet valve I have valve AP5669576. I removed the back panel inside the fridge and there are only the water tubes back there no inlet valve as described in the photo. Where do I find this on my refrigerator if it is in my model? Do I have to remove another panel to get to this?
1 Answer Joe, For the model number listed, the water valve will be located in the back of the refrigerator compartment behind the panel on the right side and next to the water tank located in the same area. Read More...
Gary C. January 30, 2016 for Model Number MFI2269VEM7 I just replaced the dual valve water inlet because my ice maker was not getting water. The line was not frozen and my water dispenser was working. How long before I will be able to tell if the ice dispenser is getting water? I think I read somewhere that the unit has to cool to a certain temperature before it will fill the tray.
1 Answer Hello Gary, While the water dispenser is a completely separately circuit, the fact it dispenses water shows the water supply is being delivered to the refrigerator. The icemaker does have to achieve 20°F or lower to satisfy the cycling thermostat and initiate the harvest cycle. How long it takes for the icemaker to cycle is determined by the temperature the unit is set to and how long you wait to check since opening the door allows the heavier cold air to drop out and room temperature air to warm up the compartment. If left alone, the icemaker will normally cycle within a couple of hours. Read More...
Micah January 23, 2016 for Model Number GI6SDRXXY00 Not making ice I tested the unit by jumping M to N the unit does not cycle at all. Do you think the ice maker unit is bad??
1 Answer Hello Micah, You should first test for voltage to the icemaker. 120Vac should be located on the violet wire to the icemaker. If voltage is not present, replace the control WPW10285199. If voltage is present, replace the icemaker assembly WPW10300024. Read More...
Joe January 05, 2016 for Model Number GI6FDRXXY09 How do I access the water inlet valve to check and see if it is okay and how do I access the freezer line to see if there is water frozen in the line? My ice make is making noise and trying to get water but it is not making ice so it is not getting water. Also the water dispenser is not working properly. You have to hold down the button to get water and it starts dripping for 2 minutes and then has a slow steady stream like there is a blockage. Thank you for your help
1 Answer Hello Joe. You will need to remove the shelves in the unit. On the rear wall there are 4 to 6 slots that you need to stick a flat blade screwdriver into and release the tabs for that panel to come off. Once this is done you will have access to the water valve. Then you can blow through the hoses to see if the fill tube is frozen on the unit. Read More...
Frank D December 31, 2015 for Model Number GI6SARXXF06 Icemaker not making ice, makes no sound. Using a test procedure I found online, I put a jumper from test point V to point L. The solenoid made no sound, nor did it deliver water to the icemaker. I placed a jumper from M to N, and the motor put the unit through a complete cycle, but no water was delivered. This should indicate a faulty solenoid, but I would like to put my ohmmeter on the coil before ordering. It appears that the solenoid is somewhere behind the right rear "wall" inside the fridge, but I can find no guidance about the procedure to access the part. Any suggestions you can offer about my diagnosis or gaining access will be much appreciated. Frank.

David May 06, 2015 for Model Number MFI2569VEM4 Still getting water and ice but a puddle of water appears ever so often by left front of fridge. Changed water filter last week..is hooked up to a reverse osmosis system. Do you think the inlet valve is going bad?
1 Answer Hello David, You may have to install a pump after the RO system to increase water pressure to sufficiently close the water valve. The manufacturer recommends from 60 to 120 PSI water pressure for the water valve to operate properly. Read More...
Dave May 06, 2015 for Model Number MFI2569VEM4 Woke up this morning with puddle of water by the left front of fridge. have already replaced water filter...do you think water inlet valve is bad?
1 Answer Hello Dave, This is most likely a stopped up defrost drain. You will need to remove the back wall in the freezer compartment and use a hair dryer to melt the defrost drain. Then pour a cup of hot water down the drain. Then put in a tablespoon of white vinegar. If the problem recurs, a heat probe 819043 may be added to help prevent the defrost drain from freezing.

Allen May 29, 2014 for Model Number gi6fdrxxyoo whirlpool I have no water going to the ice maker ice maker is not cycling or making any noise
1 Answer Hello Allen. 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. 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...
