You have saved me $$$, and I thank you! Late last year, I paid a tech to diagnose why my icemaker was not functioning correctly. (Ice waterfall in the back of my freezer would freeze the door in place and sometimes disallow its full closure--thus thawing ice, etc.). He popped in a new icemaker without any troubleshooting whatsoever. Problem NOT solved. Ice river formed again, etc., etc. After hours of narrowing my search (and learning the correct terminology), I landed on your video. THIS IS IT. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Excellent, clear, well-articulated video and instructions. Bravo!

You are very pleasant to listen to. I just clicked on this because I just replaced a freezer evap fan on my Whirlpool (too fancy for anyone) Refridgerator and waiting for it to come quietly back to life, hoping there is not another issue. haha. I didn't need any of this easy to understand and well spoken information, but I just kept listening because your speaking style is easy to learn from. I may need it in the future since appliance repairmen don't like working on these doozies! haha.God Bless.

My son replaced the intake valve, and it dispenses water in the door, but it does not dispense water into the ice maker. Could you tell me a couple of things that we might try to get the ice maker working? Thanks

Once you talked about the water freezing I'm hope it's the water valve because I had frozen water spit out on the inside wall and ice blockage. Thanks for the diagnosis.

If the internal water dispenser is working OK, can I assume the ice maker is getting water as well?

@mikebikercanada Жыл бұрын

I believe the water inlet valve could be specific to the ice maker. Sorry my fridge doesn’t have the water function so I haven’t investigated this much.

@studawg66 8 ай бұрын

My 14 year old Whirlpool fridge recently stopped making ice so I found that the ice maker was completely coated in ice. Took it apart to melt it all out and dried it out, then put back in. First fill of water overflowed a ton of water, which is probably what caused the problem in the first place. Cleaned again and monitored this time. When I heard it fill the tray, the valve sounded like it stayed open for at least twice as long as it normally did in the past few years. Would a faulty valve be slow to close? Or is there some electronics issue telling it to stay open longer?

I have one question: I have a Kenmore 253.7041941C (French door, inside icemaker ONLY--no water to the door); however, all the parts lists on the Kenmore site show the piece that supplies water to the icemaker and the door. I don't want water shooting out from unused ports! :) Any suggestions?

Hi! We’re you able to get the ice maker to run on a test phase like I did by doing the reset? Could be that it’s the ice maker itself that needs replacing?

Hi Mike I have the same refrigerator. My ice maker appears to have the harvest paddles stopped pointing up. When I run the diagnostic nothing happens. Temp is at -4. Is this an internal failure? Whirlpool I have dealt with. But my first GE. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What about water freezing in the line and leaking in back outside fridge? We replaced icemaker totally and it worked a few times-maybe a week and started doing that again. Sears Kenmore elite and of course right after warranty out....

I bought a refrigerator in 2019. I never had water connected to it. I connected water today and water was just continuously flowing out of the ice maker.

@verasmayhem 6 ай бұрын

Another source suggested as a trouble shooting step that if the power was disconnected and the water continued to flow the issue would likely be the water inlet valve. Would you agree with this and do you have any ideas why my valve would be faulty having never used water with my refrigerator before?

I’m not getting any water into my fridge at all. I can see the nipple in the valve holding water after removing water line. When I removed the water line and tried dispensing water, it pushed the water out the inlet valve..

@Josh-fz9rh Жыл бұрын

Is this inlet valve responsible for sucking the water into the fridge? I disconnected the feed tubes at connects halfway up the fridge and still felt no suction while trying to dispense water.

@mikebikercanada Жыл бұрын

Hi Josh, I don’t have a water dispenser. Just an ice maker. But I would say that this sounds like the water inlet valve as the issue. I think it’s definitely worth trying to replace that first.
