Whirlpool ice maker randomly stopped working. Even when arm is in “on” position, no water fills the tray. Water is still coming through the door (water dispenser) but I replaced the filter anyway, did not solve issue as of yet. Reached around in ice tray and can feel frozen ice in the tray, but cannot hear motor or ice tray filling with water. Not sure if it’s stuck or how to fix, need advice troubleshooting! Thanks in advance!
@tp2 I found the owner’s manual for your refrigerator. On page 18 there are instructions for troubleshooting the water and ice maker. Hopefully this gets you started until someone with a little more knowledge of this model comes along to help you out.
Hi @tp2 Here’s the refrigerator’s tech sheet which may help. Looking at the tech sheet, for water to flow into the ice maker the ice maker water inlet solenoid has to be operated. This is done by the ice maker. There are two inlet valves, one for the water dispenser and one for the ice maker. If the inlet valve is faulty the part number is WPW10420083 (supplier example only). Search online using the part number only to find suppliers that suit you best. The power for the ice maker comes through the freezer door switch. The ice maker won’t work if the door is open or if the door switch is faulty. There is also an inline fuse with the ice maker that may have to be checked. Lastly it may just be a faulty ice maker. Hopefully a start.
