Brian December 01, 2017 for Model Number KSCS25FVMS03 My kitchenaid fridge icemaker quit working a couple months ago. The water dispenser still works. Last week we came home and the entire freezer cabinet was covered in icicles, so i'm thinking water dispensed into the ice maker and overflowed. We turned it off for a day, so all lines should be thawed. It never makes the buzzing sound it used to when it worked. I'm guessing I need to replace the water valve or the ice maker sensor, which still flashes red when I put my hand in front of it. So I think it's the water valve. What do you think?

Sam M February 04, 2017 for Model Number KSCS25FVMSO2 Water stopped dispensing on door and icemaker at the same time. What is the likelihood of the water valve being bad or the control board?
1 Answer Sam, It would be more likely that the filter is bad or the filter housing is faulty with both the icemaker and the dispenser stopping at the same time. Read More...
Greg January 22, 2015 for Model Number KSCS25FVBL01 Our ice maker is leaking in the freezer section -- causing 'icicles' to form on the bottom of the ice maker, and also dripping down into the freezer compartment. Does this sound like a valve problem? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Greg. If the icemaker is overfilling, replace the water valve. However, if the icemaker is leaking, just replace the icemaker. Read More...
J.Lee January 09, 2015 for Model Number KSCS25FVSS01 I believe that I have a frozen water line that supplies the icemaker. I replaced the icemaker and valve but it still will not make ice. I do hear the humming noise that I have heard before when the solenoid is fired opening the water valve but no water goes to the tray. How do I unfreeze this water line? Simply unplug and let it defrost (is there a simpler way b/c I do not have an extra freezer to keep my food in). Any other suggestions?? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello J. Lee. You can use a hair dryer to thaw it but you must be careful not to melt anything. Otherwise unplug and let it thaw. Read More...

Matt October 20, 2011 for Model Number kscs23ftss02 The leak seem to from the supply side of inlet valve. Is there a way stop the leak or does the part need to be replaced? Also how do I remove the 3 water lines from the valve, they seem to be pressed in? Do I pull out or try to pry out?
1 Answer Hello Matt. Based on the information you provided, you will need to replace the water valve WPW10159840. You will press in on the compression fittings and at the same time, pull the water lines out of the water valve. Hope this helps. Read More...
