Scott May 14, 2020 for Model Number GZ25FSRXYYs My Whirlpool refrigerator's ice maker has stopped making ice. The water dispenser is working fine and I've replaced the water filter. Any suggestions on what to troubleshoot including details of how?
1 Answer Scott, using the dispenser interface, it would be recommended that the ice maker option is verified as being selected in the on setting. From there, the ice maker will need to be tested to ensure it is receiving 120VAC. With the ice bin removed and the door switch taped in the closed position, there will be a cover on the left side of the ice maker section that would need to be removed. The solid violet wire would need to be tested for 120VAC. If there is proper voltage, the next step would be to unplug the refrigerator, disconnect the wire harness for the ice maker and auger assembly, and remove the assembly by pulling on the lock tab while pulling the assembly forward. This will allow the fill tube located at the top of the cabin to be inspected for an ice blockage. If there is an ice block, the ice would need to be cleared and the valve WPW10349187 would need to be replaced. If there is not an ice block, the most likely failure is in the ice maker W10882923.

Travis April 23, 2020 for Model Number GI6SARXXF05 My icemaker recently stopped producing ice. I tested the inlet valve and it appeared to work fine directly (I jumped the water dispenser power to the icemaker valve and was able to fill the icemaker by pressing the water paddle). Furher troubleshooting showed the icemaker was not sending 120v to fill. So I replaced the icemaker and everything seemed to work. After a week or so, the icemaker stopped filling again. I verified it was sending 120v when requesting a fill. I jumped the ice fill valve again to the water paddle and it did not fill (so presumably the valve is defective as well). However, when removing my water paddle jump connection I accidentally shorted the connection (sparks, yay). Now the water dispenser no longer functions (120v is not received when the paddle is pushed). I fear I fried a connection somewhere, but am not sure where to look to troubleshoot. Oddly enough, the icemaker started working again (likely the valve is malfunctioning, but not completely broken). How should I diagnose the water dispenser not sending power to the valve?
1 Answer Travis, Based on the information provided you would need to locate the tech sheet or wiring diagram that came with the refrigerator and the checkpoint for the dispenser would be on the board, and on this model terminal P3-4. for further help contact us at 877-477-7278 Read More...
Don April 19, 2020 for Model Number Frigidaire FRS26ZNH I have checked all three solenoid's on my side by side frig/freezer. All check good with ohm meter around 330 ohms. Ice maker is cycling, no ice, no water at the door. Freezer is set at -10. Checked door switch, its good, the tube going to ice maker is not frozen. Did change filter, didn't look good but was replaced 6 months ago. Put a new one in. I checked voltage at water inlet valve while pushing in the get water switch on the door. I had no voltage at the valve. HELP
1 Answer Don, Check to see if there are any damaged or broken wires. Check the diode to make sure that it is good. If these checks ok then check to make sure that there are issues with the switches and the icemaker to make sure that they are good. Read More...
Nav October 03, 2019 for Model Number ET21DMXDW04 Water inlet valve is leaking. Is it possible to get replacement parts (o-rings and washer) for it, or do I have to buy a whole new valve? thanks.
1 Answer Nav, unfortunately, there are no repair kits or o-rings available for water inlet valves, you will need to replace the entire valve, part number for your model is WP2315576 Read More...
Ron February 10, 2019 for Model Number Model 10651134210 Kenmore refrigerator stopped making ice. Service tech said ice maker was working but not receiving water. New Dual water valve added -still no water or ice. I Jumped T&H on ice maker to start harvest. Got 120V on L&V during fill period but no voltage at valve? Water dispenser works fine. What can be checked next? Does voltage to valve come from ice maker or from main board?
1 Answer Ron, The icemaker will send power out to the main board and then the main board will send power to the water valve test the P3 pin 2 to P1 pin 2 for 120 vac when the icemaker calls for water. If there is not power at that point then the board would be the issue. Read More...
C.J.R. August 17, 2018 Can anyone confirm if this is the attachment piece on this part of for a 1/4" plastic water line?
Gilbert February 22, 2018 for Model Number Roper Refrigerator RT21LMXKQ06 I replaced my inline filter to my icemaker and now the ice is not as solid as it use to be. I think there could now be air in the ice maker supply line. Do I need to bleed the ice maker water line to get rid of the air? Thanks, Gilbert
1 Answer Gilbert, You would want to cycle the icemaker a couple times to flush the air out of the lines. This should correct the issue with the ice not being solid. Read More...
Sean July 15, 2017 for Model Number GB2FHDXWS02 A few months back my refrigerator iced up so I defrosted it and ever since my ice maker hasn't made ice the fill line from the water inlet valve to the ice maker has water in it but no ice what are some areas that I can check to pinpoint the problem Thanks
1 Answer Hello Sean. 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...
Es March 08, 2017 for Model Number Whirlpool gi6sarxxf02 My power went out yesterday and ever since my refrigerator makes a periodic whirring or grinding noise, lasts about 5 seconds for 15 minutes or so. I have the icemaker off because there is no water line attached. Could it be the refrigerator isn't recognizing its off and is trying to pull water to make ice? On another note the bottom of the freezer also has a thick layer of ice I have not had a chance to thaw and remove yet, could it be related and the power outage was just a coincidence?
1 Answer Hello Es, The ice in the bottom is most likely just a stopped up defrost drain. This can be thawed out with a hair dryer. The grinding sound sounds like a possible issue with the power supply to one on the on-board components. I would replace the control board WPW10285199. If this does not correct the issue, the other power board WPW10226427 would be in question. Read More...
Pton87 March 06, 2017 for Model Number WRF535SMBM00 I replaced the water inlet valve because I am not getting water I'm my ice maker only to find out it was not the issue. All lines are clear and I have good pressure. I don't believe I am getting proper voltage or signal to water inlet valve. What sends the voltage to the water inlet valve?
1 Answer Hello Pton87. The power to the water valve is provide by the icemaker W10884390. Make sure the temp is 0 to 5 or the icemaker will not cycle properly. Read More...
