Kevin July 24, 2019 for Model Number ARB2557CSL Water dispenser was very slow to fill a glass, up to 30 seconds. Verified good water pressure entering the primary valve and so replaced the primary valve. Same problem exists. The filter is new also, tried old filter with same results. Is there a second water valve for the water dispenser?
1 Answer Kevin, there is a secondary water valve that is used to divert the water between the ice maker and the water dispenser. The part number for the secondary valve is 12002193. Read More...
Brad August 14, 2016 for Model Number ARS8265BB I have an Amana ars8265bb water dispenser stopped dispensing. I can hear noise when the switch is pressed, but no water. Is it possible a valve is bad? would this be the primary or secondary valve? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Brad. You will need to test for power to the valve. If there is power there, and there is no water, you will need to order and replace the seconday valve 12002193 on the unit. 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...
Scott November 15, 2014 for Model Number DRS246RBC The fridge was not making ice, I replaced ice maker with no luck, I want to change the valves now, do I need to order both primary and secondary?
1 Answer Scott, It could be either one of the 2 valves that would be causing the icemaker to not get ice. Also check the fill tube to ensure it is not frozen. Read More...
Dmont January 07, 2014 for Model Number 596.51672100 My ice maker was over flowing dripping into my ice bin freezing ice into clump. Then it stayed on and flooded inside of freezer and leaked out onto floor?
1 Answer Hello Dmont. If it is sending power to the valve, replace the icemaker. If there is no power at the valve, replace the water 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...
Bob R December 04, 2013 for Model Number ARB8057CSR/PARB8057CS3 Currently I have no ice or water filling the ice maker. However, I do have water at the dispenser. At Appliance Parts Pros advice, here is what I have done so far: 1. Replaced the ice maker D7824708Q 2. Replaced the inlet valve 12544002 3. Replaced the secondary valve 12002193 4. Removed the fill tube and inspected for cracks and freezing 5. Jumped the ice maker with 16 gauge wire i.e. H and T terminals By questions is what's next? When I jumped the ice maker am I suppose to hear something? Should the motor engage? What should I expect? Would something lead be to believe that the ice maker is bad? I am curious as to what you suggest In the next couple of days I am going to test both of the replacement valves with a multimeter. Perhaps one of the solenoids is bad? Interestingly enough, my old valves test between 200 and 500 ohms, which means I did not have to replace either valve. I will await your advice.
1 Answer Hello Bob. It sounds like your not getting power to the icemaker. Test the wires going to the icemaker and make sure there is 120 volts there. If not, look for bad wiring or bad connections. Read More...
Brady October 05, 2013 for Model Number PSD264LGRW Hello- I have a Maytag side by side fridge, with water in the door and an icemaker. I randomly have trouble with the icemaker inlet freezing and then water overflowing into the ice bin and down the side of the freezer. The tube doesn't freeze, the small spout where the tube goes into freezes and then won't take any more water. I replaced the inlet valve about 6 months ago and it has been better, but now has started back again. Do I need to replace the ic maker itself, or the inlet valve again? Thanks
1 Answer Brady, You're going to need to consider replacing both inlet valves 12002193 and WP12544002. With this particular water system, you need to maintain a minimum of 32 PSI water supply pressure at the primary fill valve connection. Low water pressure or poor water quality can cause the fill valves to "seep" and allow water to accumulate in the tube and freeze. The ice maker fill circuit is seldom the issue, but is a very remote possibility. You also want to check and make sure the freezer temperature is not too cold, the dispenser ice door is sealed after dispensing ice cubes, and the water fill grommet on the back of the refrigerator is seated to the cabinet back wall.

Yvonne June 25, 2013 for Model Number 59651673100 There was water leaking out from the bottom of my Kenmore refrig model #59651673100. I have found that water is dripping where the water hose connect to the water inlet valve. Is this mean I have to replace a new water inlet valve? My refrigerator has no shortage of water or ice.
1 Answer Yvonne, Depending which water valve is leaking, then yes you will need to replace the valve. Read More...
Scott June 24, 2013 for Model Number ARS9266BS What is the part that the small diameter water line connects to? Is it the primary water valve or the secondary valve?
1 Answer Scott, The secondary water valve 12002193 would have the small diameter water line. Read More...
Mike January 27, 2013 for Model Number Kitchen Aid Refrigerator Model KBRA20ELSS00 We found a leak coming from our refrigerator and determined that it was coming from the water inlet valve #12544002. We purchased the part from you and installed it. We have now corrected the leak and have water working in the in refrigerator dispenser but the ice-maker is not working. Once we lowered the arm on the ice-maker it dumped ice which must have been in the ice-maker since we turned off the water a few week ago. Subsequently we have not had any ice made and the tray is dry. Any ideas on our next step?
1 Answer Hello Mike. You need to check and see if the fill tube for the icemaker is frozen and will need to be thawed out on the unit. Read More...
William January 25, 2013 for Model Number 596.73503201 First water was not going to ice maker. 3months later water in door quit working. I could here noise but no water when pushing button. I checked water supply going to frig and it was ok. Do I need to replace both pimary and secondary water valves to solve this problem? Could the ice maker have just frozen up?
1 Answer Hello William, It is a possibility that the water line to the icemaker froze the fill tube. If frozen then you would have a seeping water valve. This would be the secondary water valve that would be needed. Check to make sure that when you push dispenser that you are getting power to both the valves. Read More...
