Trying to find an insulated wire was the most difficult task. Also, I stuck the wire in and nothing happened until I wiggled the wire back and forth a little bit and then saw the wheel start to rotate. I then heard a tinkle of water. Hallelujah. Thank you! It’s not broken. My refrigerator evaporator fan broke so it wasn’t cold enough to make ice so the ice machine stopped making ice because the freezer was too warm.

This is the second time I have referred to the video. Thank you so much for teaching me jumpstart my icemaker. I walked in the house earlier to find water flowing out of my freezer , And it wouldn't stop.To make matters worse, the close off valve is broke! I remembered from your video try to jumpstart the icemaker, but I forgot the points to make it rotate. Thank goodness, a quick Google search brought me back this video. Now at least I could turn the water that house back on. I don't know what happened, I'm glad I found you again my friend . IOU big!

Thanks for the Video. Did the function test, water valve good, faulty module. The ice maker body looked good, no corrosion, so I ordered a replacement module for $26.00 including shipping. A 5 minute switch out. Did not work at first, but then I used the jumper wire to initiate the harvest cycle. After it went through the cycle, it works like a charm!

Great questions! Jumping T to H bypasses the thermostat so temperature doesn't matter. As for the door switch, that depends on the particular refrigerator and how it's wired; the wiring diagram will show that.

Good job! Yep, ice plugs in fill tubes are a common problem and usually indicate that the water inlet valve in back is leaking ever so slowly, eventually creating another ice plug. You can buy the replacement water inlet valve at Appliantology-- just enter your model number in the parts search box at the top of the page.

Those are both valid test point combinations: L-V energizes the fill valve and lets water into the mold; T-H initiates the manual harvest cycle. If your ice maker won't harvest on its own, then either the thermostat is bad (replace the ice maker) or the freezer temperature is too warm (needs to be less than 15F).
@cramsey548

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one. My power went off for about 20-30 min before my ice maker quit. This caused condensation to form on the timer, motor, gears and mechanical moving parts of the ice maker. When the power came back on, it froze my unit up. I got good ohms readings on all the test points except the timer. N - V is the water inlet valve (190), T - L thermostat (0 cuz tray was full of ice), L - H tray heater (72.5), and L - N the timer (I got 0 should be 4400 ohms). I shut the breaker off and left the ice maker door open for about 4-5 mins. I tapped on the front and back of the module with the back of a screwdriver. Flipped the breaker back on and after about 1 min it dumped the ice from the tray, refilled and began working normally. Just frozen, nothing blown from a power spike.

On units without the optical ice sensor, you should read about 120vac. Units with the optical ice level sensor will read around 97vac. 56vac is what we call "junk voltage" and indicates a bad connection, open neutral, or some other wiring problem. We can get you a diagram in the Appliantology forums. Start a new topic in the Kitchen forum at Appliantology.

great video, but i hit a problem that wasnt covered here. inserted jumper, got nothing. tested door switch, got nothing. put gentle downward pressure on the up/down ice arm, could see the motor "back up". released it, and motor "went forward" and got grinding sound of running into frozen ice. im not sure if the heater element comes on with the jumper switch (to release the ice), so i hypothesized that i needed to uninstall and unplug icemaker, thawed out ice (with hot water rinse in sink). reinstalled and it now works perfectly. MY PROBLEM WAS ICE DAM NOT ALLOWING THE MOTOR TO MOVE THRU ITS FULL CYCLE WITH THE JUMPER IN. by manually thawing, i removed the ice dam, plugged back in and jumper allowed motor to go thru its full cycle. ICE MAKER WORKING PERFECT AGAIN. thank you for the great video and hope my experience helps someone else. i almost gave up before thoroughly checking in depth. i can guarantee a repairman wouldnt have done this, would have got a bill for a trip charge and new icemaker.

If ice maker has the control module with the test points in it, then you need to replace the module or, better yet, the entire ice maker for just a few bucks more. Of you have the big center plastic gear with a little driver gear, then a common problem is that some teeth will get knocked out of the big gear or the hub of that gear breaks-- and it is separately replaceable. In either case, you can get those parts at the link in the video description.

great video. I'm helping a neighbor who uses the same ice maker but he has a different problem. As I understand his problem, his unit produces "wet" ice. It makes cubes but the excess water pools in the bottom of the bucket and then freezes so the ice just clumps up. Is there an adjustment to use less water or slow the production of ice so no excess water is produced? Thanks for taking the time to respond. Again, great videos. JDD
@Your-Self
5 жыл бұрын
Some icemaker models have a plastic water adjustment screw on the right side around the corner and below the "M" terminal. If you turn it clockwise, less water should flow into the mold. However, if the problem of excess water begun just recently, it's probably a bad water-valve not shutting off right away. Jump-start the icemaker by connecting "H" and "T" terminals, and observe how the water flows into the mold. It should flow for about 7 seconds and stop completely. But if the water continues to slowly overfill, the water-valve is bad.

It made ice for a little while. Then I trouble shoot it. Can't find any abnormalities. Motor will turn If I put 110v on it when I have the control module separated from the ice cube bay. I replaced the thermostat with new thermo compound paste. The one I took out I believe was still good. Freezer is zero degrees. Thermostat is not closed. Cannot get motor to rotate by jumping T & H. I don't know what else to do except buy another whole unit. Only thing is I can't find any ice maker numbers that correspond to my refrigerator model number Whirlpool Estate TT21AKXKQ05.

T-H bypasses the internal thermostat so it initiates a harvest mode. It should begin turn, after a few seconds there should be a click and you can remove the wire bypass. At that point it should continue on it's own, hopefully. If not just replace the whole icemaker. It's very easy.

Hi Mr. Samurai! Great video! I think you've helped me rule a few things out, but I'm still not getting water to the module. When the module cycles the valve is not activated. The motor and heater function normally. I replaced the solenoid and it seems to be functioning -- I can manually fill by jumping L & V. Still there is no fill valve activation during a harvest cycle. So am I right in assuming that I have a bad control module or thermostat? Is there a sure fire way to identify which is the issue via a multimeter?

If water pressure at the water inlet valve behind the refrigerator is too low, the valve won't seal properly and it will weep, eventually clogging the fill tube. Common causes of low water pressure at the inlet valve: using a line-piercing saddle tap valve (they become clogged with sediment and scale) and supplying water to the valve through an RO filter.

L-V shorts the water valve and dispenses water. L-M shorts the motor and makes it turn. L-H shorts the heater and makes it heat. T-H should run the whole cycle, heating the mold, turning the motor and near the end of the cycle it should activate the valve.

I have an ice maker that makes the ice if I pour water in the tray but the teeth don't rotate around and cycle to kick the ice out. I don't think the metal heats up either to make it easy to kick the ice out. Also, no water comes through the tube in the wall to fill the ice maker. Do I replace the module or thermostat or the whole ice maker? My icemaker didn't respond to the jumper wire

Best to replace the whole thing so you have all new parts for the difference in price.

My ice maker doesn't rotate when I place the jumer cable inside, nor do I hear anything click, so i'm assuming I have a bad ice maker. Could that be the reason the tube in the back of the fridge doesn't fill with water leading up to the ice maker?

When I use the jumper you describe in the video, it fills the ice maker just fine and awhile later the ice maker removes the ice cubes. My problem is that it does NOT refill on it's own after that??? Ideas? BTW....this video is GREAT!!

Tray was overflowing. Just replaced the control module. Now water will not fill tray automatically. Jumpered T-H and let it spin for a few revolutions but no water. Jumpered L-V and water flows. Heater works. Any help?

I have a Maytag MSD2574VEW10 Side by side. If my icemaker just spins all the time and never stops is that an issue with the water valve? Water never flows into it and the valve is not clogged with ice. I jumped the t-h and nothing happened, it just kept spinning. I poured water into it and it froze but the fins froze inside the ice. So I removed the IM and thawed the it. I reinstalled it and it did not spin. So I jumped N-M and it spins all the time again but now when I lift the arm and it stops when the slot on the front gear is at about the 5 o'clock position. I really sure what to do, I am thinking it a water valve issue.

If the ice make rake fingers just keep spinning without stopping and it never fills, then the ice maker is bad: bit.ly/1fQmSK1 OTOH, if the ice maker does a normal periodic harvest cycle and then stops for a while but water never comes in at the end of the cycle, then the water fill valve may be bad: bit.ly/1fQny1O But you'd need to test it to be sure. One easy test is to put a cheater cord on the water fill valve (ice maker side) terminals and apply 120VAC. Water squirts into the ice maker, then you know the valve is good and the ice maker is bad. No water: could be frozen fill tube or bad valve.

Hi... I have a newer whirlpool side-by-side model# WSF26C3EXWO1. It has the entire ice maker system in the door. It is not making ice. There were cubes in the ice maker so I know it was getting water. I tried the jumper wire and the motor didn't turn. I then removed the motor module and ran hot leads directly to the motor. It turned. So I don't think that is the problem. The little red LED on the infrared sensor board does not blink or light up at all. I did unplug the fridge, wait about 20 seconds, then plugged it back in. I also tried the trick of looking at the infrared emitter through my cell phone camera. No light visible. I am pretty sure the IR emitter is bad. This all started after I shut off the ice maker with the little door that covers the emitter hole in its mounting plat. It was stiff and hard to move. I am wondering if it I may have broken or knocked it out of alignment. But the LED does not light up anyway. By the way, which is the emitter and which is the receiver? Is the emitter the one with the "flapper" (Right side of door as you look at the inside) that the ice bucket pushes aside when it is closed or is it the one with the LED on it (Left side of door from inside). Do you agree?

I got the emiiter and receiver switched in my post above. The emitter is on the right side and the receiver is the bigger board on the left side with the LED on it. So I will have to re-try the cell phone camera trick.
