Shane August 08, 2024 for Model Number GI6FARXXY08 Dispenser water is slow. Almost a trickle at times. Ice maker doesn't produce ice routinely. Whining noise when I call for water at times. I've tried using the filter bypass plug and still no luck. I've putting warm water in line thinking it was froze but no luck. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Shane, thank you for contacting APP, This could be an issue with the Isolation/Inlet Valve WPW10498990, the Filter Head Assembly W11346622, or the Dual Valve WPW10312696. The videos under the Isolation and Dual valves goes over accessing those components. What you may need to do is access the dual valve , disconnect the water line coming from the filter head at the dual valve and put that water line in a glass or cup, hold or tape down the door switches, and call for water at the dispenser. If the line puts in water then your issue is likely with the Dual Valve. If it does not put in water, access the Isolation valve at the back of the unit, disconnect the water line going from it into the unit, place a cup or bowl to catch any water below the valve, and call for water at the dispenser. If this puts in water then the Filter Head Assembly needs to be replaced. If it does not put in water replace the Isolation Valve. Read More...
Deborah June 11, 2024 for Model Number MFI2269FRZ02 I recently had the water valve (W10312696) replaced and the tech left the old part inside the new part box and inside there was 2 white pieces. I was concerned, so I began searching videos to see if I could determine exactly what was this part. I encountered your video and just let me say that this vid was absolutely GREAT! He explained each step in great detail. Well, from the video, I discovered the part to be a 'COVER BOX' for the upper plug to the water valve. Well, I texted the tech that did the repair and asked him why he didn't replace it and he answered that he didn't know what I was talking about and now he has blocked me! I really need to know HOW IMPORTANT is it that this 'COVER BOX' be replaced? Thank you!!
1 Answer Hello Deborah, thank you for contacting APP, The Cover Box W10118193 is there to protect the upper connector for the Water Inlet Valve WPW10312696, we would recommend that the Cover Box be put back in place as the manufacturer intended. Read More...
Messy Jessy June 08, 2023 for Model Number WRV986FDEM00 Freezer ice maker not getting water. Door water dispenser and refrigerator ice maker are working. Noticed freezer icemaker continues to cycle. Stops cycling with the freezer door open. Help!
1 Answer Messy Jessy, Check for a frozen fill tube. If the fill tube is frozen then this will be a faulty valve that is allowing water to trickle in and then freeze. Also, test to make sure that there is voltage getting to the valve when the icemaker cycles and if there is then it will be the water valve that needs replaced. Read More...
Nick October 20, 2022 for Model Number MFI2670XEM9 Refrigerator was only cooling to 44F with freezer at 0F, the ice maker stopped making ice. The Evaporator fan and damper were replaced. The refrigerator now cools to 30F with freezer at 0F. The ice maker still will not make ice. The indoor water dispenser dispenses water and the water filter is bypassed. Why does the ice maker still not make ice?
1 Answer Nick, You will want to get the icemaker to cycle and test for voltage to the water valve that is behind the refrigerator wall to make sure that there is 120 vac when the icemaker calls for water. If there is but will not fill with water then check to make sure that the fill tube is not frozen and if not then replace of the water valve. If there is no power then the icemaker would be faulty and need to be replaced. Read More...
Josh January 24, 2021 for Model Number GI6FARXXY07 My fridge stopped dispensing water and ice. When the water button is pressed, only a little water comes out and then completely stops. The ice maker is not filling up at all. When I press each button, it sounds like it wants to work. The water filter is fine, as I just put in a new one. I even removed the filter and am getting the same result. Does it sound like replacing my water inlet valve will solve this? Thank you in advance.
1 Answer Josh, Make sure that you have a good water filter in the unit, check to make sure that water flows through the water valve. If there is water through he valve then this will be a water filter head that may be faulty. Read More...
Daillest April 21, 2020 for Model Number MFI2269VEM7 I was looking for what it would call quick connect retainer for the ice maker tube on valve inlet WPW10312696 (AP6019288). I went to replaced the ice maker supply tube W10165840 (AP4316748) and the retainer was really stuck and got chewed up and unusable. thanks
Ron October 07, 2019 for Model Number MFI2269VEM7 The ice maker within our Maytag refrigerator (model #MFI2269VEM7) doesn't fill with water. From reading other similar questions and your answers, I plan on testing the water inlet valve first, however, I would like to know how to manually cycle the ice maker to check for voltage at the inlet valve. Your assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you.
1 Answer Ron, You would take the front cover off the ice maker and use a jumper wire to T and H, the ice maker will start a cycle. Read More...
Joe September 10, 2019 for Model Number MFI2569VEM4 Hi — had a situation where I could hear the inlet valve (I think) calling for water, and for some reason it was collecting in the icemaker and leaking down thru the dispenser. Which means it ran down the front of the fridge and onto the floor. Door was open first time this happened; closed the door, it stopped and I cleaned it up. 20 minutes later I heard it again. Walked in and sure enough, same thing. Water everywhere. Shut the water valve off and drained it. I tested the inlet valve for continuity and I get a reading of 186, which seems too low to me. Is the Inlet Valve the cause here, like maybe it's not shutting off when it should? Part # W10312696, Inlet Valve
1 Answer Joe, for the ice maker to call for enough water to overfill the tray into the dispenser section, the motor module 8201515 would have failed. However, if the valve activated for 15 seconds and shut off, but water leaked through the ice tray into the bin, then the tray WPW10300025 would have a crack in it. Read More...
Terry September 08, 2019 for Model Number MFI2569YEMO Installed a new #4 filter and now there is a severe chattering noise coming from inside the fridge. ?
1 Answer Hello Terry, if the noise only occurs on water dispense and ice maker fill then try removing the filter and use the bypass plug instead, if the noise stops try reinserting the filter cartridge fully, if still has the same noise you will need to replace the Filter head and water tank assembly,W10502642.

Curt September 05, 2019 for Model Number MFI2665XEB1 I am having an issue with our ice maker not making ice, but the bottom of our refrigerator, below the crisper drawers, is filling with water, and overflowing. If I turn the ice maker off, no water collects, which tells me it's a valve not turning off, rather than a leak. How do I determine if the problem is the dual valve, or what I'm seeing on your diagrams as a single valve at the ice maker inside the unit? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Curt, This unit has a service bulletin on it concerning the defrost drain "P Trap". W10619951 should be ordered and installed to prevent drainage problems. The icemaker issue can be caused by low water pressure to the valves since they contain no springs to aid in their closure, but are closed by water pressure alone. This can be a failing water shutoff valve from the home plumbing water supply or a crimped water line to the back of the refrigerator. It can also be caused by a bad water inlet valve on the unit. Either valve WPW10498990 or WPW10312696, can cause the issue and the manufacturer recommends replacing both at the same time but it is usually caused by the primary valve WPW10498990. Read More...
