Whirlpool Ice Maker ECKMFEZ1 Ice maker not making ice

The Icemaker Motor Module is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This module is the heart of the icemaker, responsible for controlling the ice production cycle. It manages the timing, water fill, and ice tray ejection, ensuring that your refrigerator consistently produces and dispenses ice. 

Symptoms of a bad Icemaker Motor Module include:

• The icemaker failing to produce ice,
• Ice cubes not ejecting into the bin,
• The icemaker making unusual noises during operation.

Causes of motor module failure typically involve mechanical wear from continuous use, electrical failures such as short circuits, or water damage affecting the electronic components.

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

The Icemaker Cycling Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This thermostat plays a crucial role in the icemaker's operation by monitoring the temperature in the icemaker and ensuring it is at the appropriate level for proper ice production. It reads the temperature to determine when the icemaker should cycle on and off.

Causes of a bad icemaker cycling thermostat can include electrical malfunctions, temperature sensor issues, or wear and tear.

Symptoms of a bad icemaker cycling thermostat may include:

• Inconsistent ice production.
• The icemaker not cycling properly.
• The icemaker not dumping the ice into the ice bin.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

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 ice maker shut-off arm is the wire lever that detects the ice bin level and stops production when raised. Replace a bent, broken, or missing arm to restore reliable on/off control of your icemaker.

• Monitors bin fullness; in the up position it opens the internal switch to pause ice making
• Lowers as ice is used so the icemaker can resume cycles
• Restores manual shutoff when you lift the arm

• Disconnect refrigerator power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin for access; open the icemaker front cover if your model has one
• Pull the old arm straight out of the pivot holes; align and fully seat the new arm so it moves freely
• Restore power and lower the arm to resume ice production; the arm raises and stops production when the bin is full
