Pull the ice maker out of the freezer. Keep it at the room temperature for a few hours to completely defrost and dry. Install it back and give it a try. If it would not help, replace the ice maker. - The replacement ice maker Part number: AP4360346

Hi, sorry to bump an old thread. I have a Whirlpool Modular Ice Maker kit. Part No. 2181913. The ice bucket had overflowed and the ice maker jammed up. After cleaning it out, the machine makes ice, but it stops and the metal bar rises after after every batch instead of running until the bucket fills up. Any idea how to fix this?

That sounds about right.
Thank you!

Sounds like the problem is a bad water inlet valve on the back of the refrigerator. - The water inlet valve Part number: AP3961809

I thought I would piggy back on the other posts.
Our ice maker is not working. It's a Kenmore, model 106.71194101. It does not fill with water, although, when we fill it with water, it will make and dump the ice. I think I hear it going through cycles without water/ice. My husband has used the hair dryer on the water tube to thaw out any ice. Before we noticed it was not filling with water, it overfilled the tray and we had about 1/2 inch of water/ice on the bottom of the bucket that holds the ice. There were a couple of times that it seemed to be working very hard to turn the ice out of the tray.
What do you think?
Thank you for your help!

I may be having the same problem so I intend on taking your advise as it seems my Whirlpool has a water restricition to the ice maker. I'll keep you guys apprised (whirlpool model ED5FHGXNQ00).

I would recommend to replace the whole ice maker because the ice makers repair rate of success is very low and many people ended up spend more money. - The ice maker Part number: AP4360346
