Kitchenaid Refrigerator KTRA22ELBL01 Leaking

The Icemaker Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a comprehensive kit that includes all the necessary components to replace or install a new icemaker in your refrigerator.

Causes of needing a new icemaker kit can include the existing icemaker malfunctioning, producing insufficient or irregular ice, or being damaged due to wear and tear.

Symptoms indicating it's time to replace the icemaker include:

• No ice production or irregular ice cube formation
• Water leaks or excessive condensation around the icemaker area
• Strange noises or grinding sounds during operation
• Error codes or warning lights related to the icemaker

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore refrigerator models. Note: This kit no longer comes with the "shut-off" arms. Order by model if needed.

The Defrost Bimetal is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It acts as a safety thermostat that monitors and controls the temperature during the defrost cycle. This component ensures that the defrost heater turns off when the evaporator coil reaches a specific temperature, preventing overheating and potential damage.

Causes of failure may include a malfunction due to wear and tear over time, electrical failure, or damage from moisture and ice.  

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Bimetal include:

• The refrigerator is constantly running without cycling off
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils, leading to reduced cooling efficiency
• The refrigerator or freezer compartment is too warm
• Unusual fluctuations in refrigerator temperature

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Ice Maker Water Line is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It supplies water from the household plumbing to the ice maker, ensuring a consistent and reliable production of ice cubes. This kit includes a 1/4-inch plastic water line that is approximately 72 inches long. The tubing will need to be cut to match the desired length.

Causes of a bad water line can include wear and tear from prolonged use, kinks or bends restricting water flow, or leaks due to punctures or cracks. A compromised water line can result in inadequate ice production or water leaks.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker water line include:

• Reduced or no ice production
• Leaking water from the refrigerator
• Visible cracks or damage to the water line
• Ice cubes that are smaller than usual

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Ice Mold is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component forms the ice cubes in the icemaker, shaping the water into cubes as it freezes. The ice mold is crucial for the efficient production of ice, ensuring that each cube is properly formed and easily released into the ice bucket.

You should replace the ice mold if it shows signs of wear or damage. Causes of a bad ice mold can include mineral buildup from hard water, physical damage to the mold surface, or malfunctioning heating elements that prevent ice from releasing properly.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Mold include:

• Ice cubes not forming correctly or being irregular in shape
• Ice cubes sticking to the mold and not dispensing
• The icemaker not producing ice at all
• Leaks around the icemaker area

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This icemaker fill cup and bearing assembly directs water from the inlet tube into the ice mold and provides the pivot point for the shutoff arm. Replacing a cracked or missing cup helps stop leaks, misdirected fills, and inconsistent ice production.

• Channels incoming water into the ice mold to prevent splashing and overfilling
• Provides the pivot/bearing for the ice level (shutoff) arm
• Helps maintain consistent cube size and reliable icemaker shutoff
• Typical symptoms: water or ice buildup under the icemaker, overfilling or hollow/irregular cubes, or a loose/binding shutoff arm

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin and detach the icemaker to access the side-mounted cup
• Position the new cup directly under the fill tube; secure with existing hardware and verify the shutoff arm pivots freely in the bearing
• Restore power and water; run a test fill and check for leaks

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for controlling the flow of water into the dishwasher during the fill cycles. This valve ensures that the dishwasher receives the correct amount of water needed for washing and rinsing dishes effectively.

You should replace the water inlet valve if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad water inlet valve can include wear and tear from regular use, mineral buildup from hard water, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning valve can lead to improper water flow, affecting the dishwasher’s performance and potentially causing water leaks.

Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:

• The dishwasher not filling with water or filling slowly
• Water leaking from the valve area
• Dishes not being cleaned properly due to insufficient water
• The dishwasher making unusual noises during the fill cycle

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool French door refrigerators. It is an electric heating element strategically placed within the refrigerator compartment and freezer liners. This component aids in preventing excessive moisture buildup from condensation formed during normal operation. 

Causes for heater failure include standard component degradation from prolonged use. Exposure to moisture accumulating over time can damage wiring insulation or short-circuit coil filaments as well.

Symptoms of an inadequate defrost heater involve:

• Frost buildup interfering with door seals and interior shelving
• Promotion of mold/mildew growth from sustained dampness
• Food spoilage risks due to the inability to regulate proper humidity 

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Ice Maker Control Module is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It acts as the brain of the ice maker, controlling and regulating its various functions to ensure efficient and consistent ice production.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker control module include:

• No ice production or intermittent ice production
• Ice maker not cycling on or off correctly
• Errors or error codes related to the ice maker on the refrigerator's display
• Unusual noises or clicking sounds from the ice maker

Causes of a bad control module can range from electrical issues, such as power surges or voltage fluctuations, to physical damage or wear and tear over time.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This small filter sits inside the refrigerator's water inlet solenoid valve to trap sediment from the household water supply. Replacing a clogged or damaged filter helps protect the valve and can restore normal water dispenser and ice maker flow.

• Filters debris from the incoming water line to protect the inlet valve and water system
• Useful to replace when sediment or scale is found during valve maintenance
• Fits in the valve's inlet port to keep particles out of the valve body

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Access the rear water inlet valve, relieve line pressure, and remove the supply line
• Pull out the old filter from the valve inlet and fully seat the new filter
• Restore water, check for leaks, and purge air by running the dispenser
