Ricky June 20, 2017 for Model Number ED2GVEXVD00 i got a new ice maker for my whirlpool refrigerator, I want to install the new wire harness, but the old one, I don't know how it unplugs from the side of refrigerator ,it has some kind of rubber plug looking thing that is on the harness ,is it safe to pull that rubber out ,because that's where the other end of the harness is plugged in. Thankyou.
1 Answer Ricky, If you remove the cover from the icemaker assembly, on the left side there will be a tab that you will need to push in on then you can slide the harness out of the icemaker. Read More...
Diane February 01, 2017 for Model Number KSSS36QDX02 I have purchased and installed a new ice maker. It is not getting power. I believe I need to replace the wiring harness. It is connected to a semi rigid panel on the back of the freezer with a round end piece. I have tried to disconnect t it but it seems I will have to damage it to get it out. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
1 Answer Hello Diane. There should be a locking tab you will lift up on to unplug the harness listed above. Read More...
Phil December 11, 2016 for Model Number ED5VHGXMQ15 I need to replace my ice maker, however there is no quick connect plug in the wire harness as shown in all the videos. How do I disconnect the ice maker to remove it without cutting wires?
1 Answer Phil, If you remove the white cover on the head of the icemaker and then remove the screws holding the icemaker in place. Look on the side of the black head and there will be a push tab that you push in on and slide the harness out of the icemaker. Read More...
Dave T. September 23, 2015 for Model Number Wire Harness 2187464 628281 Can you tell me what type of fuse is in this wiring harness? Does it work on temp or is there an inline fuse in this block? I cant get power to my ice maker, I put a whole new one in but it did not come with the harness. I did a continuity test on all 4 wires and that one is not working. Thank you.
Bert August 15, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool Refrig. MDL#: W1TXEMMWS02 Ice maker wiring harness; PN: AP3133181. The harness has no continuity, nor voltage coming thru the black wire (with the small white plastic molded unit), when connected to the freezer connector. The freezer connector has AC voltage on the black wire. On the ice maker wiring harness, does the white molded unit contain a fuse or other electrical component that has 'opened'? If a fuse, what amperage? Can this be replaced or must you have to purchase an entire new ice maker harness? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Bert, There is a thermal fuse in that white block that has to be connected to the metal hook. This opens the power to the icemaker should the heater circuit become energized too long and a danger of melting the freezer liner exists. To correct the issue, you will need to replace harness WP2187464. Read More...
E.H. June 07, 2015 for Model Number KSCS25FJSS01 Ice auger will not turn. Have replaced the auger motor, but still won't turn. When I test the door switch while holding the ice dispenser bar, the light will go on and off and the solenoid will go up and down. Could it be that wiring harness that connects the auger motor, light and solenoid still? thanks
1 Answer Hello E.H., You should check for voltage at the auger motor. If none, backtrack the wiring at the door hinge then in the dispenser area in the door. Read More...
Ron February 13, 2015 for Model Number Whitlpool Is the end of the Harness, Wiring Part Number: AP3133181 Made by: Whirlpool that plugs into the freezer male or female?
1 Answer Ron, On this harness, the side that plugs into the icemaker will be male and the side that plugs into the freezer harness would be female. Read More...
Brad October 27, 2014 for Model Number ET8RHMXKT02 Water keeps coming out of the vent in the pack where cold air comes into the fridge. I was also getting a brown (yes brown) icicle forming at the front of my ice maker. So I assume it was over flowing a little. But I don't understand how water could be getting into the air outlet to the fridge. I put a 7" by 2" deep tupperware on the top shelf at the back to catch it and it fills up in a week. This problem only started when I cleaned the fridge and freezer. Did I break something? Would the wrong freezer/fridge temp settings cause this? I moved the dials by accident but put them both in the middle as a starting point. I am quite mechanically savvy but I'm really confused about this. Any ideas? Thanks. --Brad

Johnny June 29, 2014 for Model Number Ed2jhgxrq00 Ice maker not functioning. Changed water inlet and ice maker. Is there some type of fuse to power these?
1 Answer Hello Johnny. There is a fuse in the icemaker harness. However, you need to check the fill tube and make sure it is not frozen and clogged. Also, make sure the filter is good. Read More...
Gerald H. June 29, 2014 for Model Number ED25PQXDN00 The motor will run sometimes when I jumper it and sometimes it will run to the fill cycle and stop letting the ice tray overfill it seems to have power sometimes. I have replaced the icemaker with a new one and the problem continues. Could it be the power cord is not giving the unit power all of the time?
1 Answer Hello Gerald, Since the power is supplied through the harness up the back of the unit, the rear cover will have to be removed to locate the issue. There are sometimes connections under this cover in the form of a terminal block. You should of course, make sure the issue is not in the icemaker harness or the icemaker itself before tearing into the harness. Read More...
