Mr Coffee November 19, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool My icemaker is a FSP replacement in an old refrigerator in my rental house. The inlet valve opens to let air pass (me blowing through the valve) when I give the solenoid 120 volts, but when I have it hooked up to the house plumbing, water diesn't pass through the valve. A plumber the tenant hired replaced the original icemaker hookup with a plain 1/4" pipe hookup (no icemaker tap off valve with a tiny hole), and I don't know if that would make a difference. Do you know from my description if the valve should work OK with the plumbing like that or if valves can stick with just the normal water pressure when the valve is worn out? Thanks
1 Answer Hello. Mr coffee. If the unit does not open and let water pass through with power applied to it, you will need to order and replace the water valve 4318047 on the unit. The new water line should not be to much pressure to the water valve. Read More...
Larry Mcnellis October 14, 2012 for Model Number ED25CQ I can press the "Water" button on the outside of the refrigerator door and get a glass of water but water does not seem to be flowing into the icemaker and therefore no ice is being made. Does this mean I need a new icemaker kit or just a new water valve?
1 Answer Larry, If you have a water dispenser in the door, and an ice maker in the freezer you'll need a dual fill valve WP2188542 ( you didn't supply a complete model number). With the description you supplied, Your most likely issue is the water fill valve and not the ice maker itself. Read More...
Doug S. September 26, 2012 for Model Number ED22ZRXXN01 Does my Whirlpool have a filter system for the Ice Maker? If so, where is it at and if not what type should I buy to fit my ice maker? Thank You.
Jerry A. May 14, 2012 for Model Number AP3103467 How do you attach the bottom water line as it only has a non threaded hole with a black presure ring inside the hole?
1 Answer Hello Jerry, These are called John Guess fittings. They were very criticized by technicians for several years, until they proved they wouldn't be constant sources of leaks as the techs. thought they would be. They are really simple to use. To remove a water line, you push the line into the valve pretty hard and push the ring around it toward the valve assembly. While you hold the ring in, pull the water line out. Now to reconnect the water line, push the water line into the hole and then push harder. You can feel the water line "pop" a little further into the assembly. To seal the line, simply pull on the water line and it will not come out if it's pushed in far enough. Just a note here to avoid having to learn the hard way. Before putting the water line in the John Guess fitting, inspect the water line and ensure there's no abnormalities on the outside of the water line within about 1/2 inch from the end of the line from previous installation. If there is, the end of the line needs to be cut off squarely so no water can seep out from the sealing area. Read More...
Tommy September 13, 2011 for Model Number gd5nhaxmb00 Is there a way to check if power is getting to the intake valve?
1 Answer Hello Tommy. Yes, you will test for power at the valve 4318047 when the icemaker is in the harvest mode. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Tommy September 13, 2011 for Model Number Whirlpool No water getting to ice maker. Will the intake valve be the fix? I have defrosted the line.
1 Answer Hello Tommy. Yes, if the icemaker is cycling and sending power to the water valve, and there is not water flowing out, you will need to replace the water valve 4318047. Hope this helps. Read More...
