The motor for mine stopped working so I purchased a new motor that came mounted on an end cap. Only three screws held it in. There is a flat side on a shaft for the ejectors that needs to be lined up but that was easy. Also, I removed the bar that senses when the tray is full. I just pulled the one side out, installed the new motor assembly and reinserted the bar. It took maybe 10 minutes. It would take 3 next time. You don't need to remove the icemaker for this repair if it is the motor that's bad. This video shows you how to test the motor. I would use an insulated wire instead of a paper clip, it's 120v.

The freezer has to be cold enough to create ice. My ice maker worked fine for a few years but stopped making ice a few days ago. I did all the electrical and waterline checks but could not find anything wrong. Turns out that my freezer was too warm. The prior cooling level was fine until the last few days when the temperature in the home and opening of the freezer compartment has been increasing. Thanks for your help!

Also... Try taking the icemaker out and cleaning the tray. I use vinegar or better still cleaning strength vinegar. remove the ice bucket for better access. Loosen, don't remove two 1/4 inch bolts that hold the icemaker to the side of the fridge. (Unplug the fridge if you are more comfortable) Unplug the electrical connection by squeezing two tabs on the side of the plug. Remove the ice maker from the fridge and then remove the one plastic cover held with a phillips screw. I let the tray soak for 15 minutes or so. You can feel the difference in the smoothness of the mold. We have fairly hard water where we are so it builds up on the mold and makes it harder for the ice maker to harvest the ice. Might have to do this every year or two depending on the water mineral content in your area. Easy no cost fix!

I have a Kenmore without the wheel but it still has the same labeled check points. I jumpered it and the ice ejector did it rotations. No water flow though. I checked the pins for that and never got any voltage on the meter. In the back of the machine, I connected the plug for the cold water switch to the ice make solenoid and when my wife pushed the cold water switch water flowed to the ice maker. It seems pretty solid that the ice maker water solenoid is not getting the signal to fill the trays. You said that that means the ice maker itself is bad? So that signal to fill the trays comes from the ice maker itself and not from the refrigerator's main board? Just confirming before buying a new ice maker. Thank you. This video is phenomenal. I've never seen a diagnostics video that describes the functions of anything as well as you do.
@Your-Self2 жыл бұрын
On basic refrigerators, the ice maker controls the water fill valve. But some refrigerators have multiple boards, so it gets a little complicated. What is your Kenmore model number? Maybe I can look up the schematics. PS. Did you remove the jumper when the ejector moved a quarter of a turn? If not, the water will not flow.

@Your-Self2 жыл бұрын
According to the schematics, the ice maker itself activates the ice-water-solenoid. First, I'd make sure your multimeter actually works by inserting leads into L and N holes. You should get about 120VAC standby voltage. Then start the cycle by jumping T and H... remove the jumper... insert leads into V and N and you should get about 100VAC for a few seconds when the ejector is at the top position. If you have no voltage, the ice maker is probably bad. You can also manually jump the ice maker fill solenoid by shorting L and V. If the water flows inside the tray, your water-valve is good, but the ice maker is bad. Your ice maker part number has changed to a new Whirlpool W10884390

@Your-Self Жыл бұрын
If you jump L to V on a basic refrigerator, the water solenoid will open. But if no water will run through it, the valve may overheat, not sure. But I suppose a few seconds shouldn't be a problem though. However, if you have a water dispenser as well, it gets more complicated. Because you may have 3 water valves total. And the trick with L and V will not work.

Great video. So far everything seems to work. But the water keeps freezing in the fill tube. I clear it and let it run, and again it's freezing in the tube. It's a 30 year old fridge and has no problem till now. Plus it's only adding a few ounces of water. Making small cubes when it was working.
@Your-Self2 жыл бұрын
Low water pressure can cause small ice cubes, and the water valve not to close completely. A weeping valve will create an ice blockage in the fill tube. If the water to the fridge is going through a saddle valve, it may get clogged up with time. Maybe the filter is old. RO systems are not good for the fridge due to low-pressure output. Or maybe the refrigerator water valve is going bad... not opening and closing all the way.

Thanks for the video is informative and easy to follow. Question: 1. Should the voltage test show 120 at ALL times? Or just when it's cycling? 2. How long does it take when inserting the jumper? I put the jumper in and nothing happened. And When I tested with multimeter it was showing 6.25 volts. Does it matter that the defrost cycle was running?

On basic refrigerator models, you should always have 120 VAC on the L & N. Refrigerators with multiple computer boards may act differently. So, if you don't have the 120 V, it could be a wiring problem or a circuit board problem.

@@Your-Self Update: Once the defrost cycle ended, I tested it again, and the voltage was 120.

Great video. What is the water cup is over filling and spilling over into the bucket and fridge? Where the water tube pours into. It's either too fast or too much. Just started doing this after a few years of no issues. Water pressure is 60psi.

It's best to get your eyes on the actual problem. Is it filling the cup fast and then slowly continuing to drip and overfill? Or maybe there is a crack in the tube, and it's dripping from somewhere else?
