:mad: I have this Whirlpool Gold side by side. I have had so much trouble with it for the past 2-3 years!! Last week the icemaker stopped working for the THIRD time. We are 2 adults, do not use the ice dispenser and do not abuse the appliance. I refuse to repair this again. Anyone else have the same problem? At this point my husband just wants to purchase new appliances and never again anything by whirlpool. Help!!!

Lauriejoan,

What happens,exactly ?
What have you had to replace, to get the ice maker working again ?
Are you sure you are attached to a proper water supply line, that delivers 25 PSI, at the water inlet valve?
Low water supply/pressure is a common problem, and is the most common problem for water dispenser, ice maker failures.

You can try this:

Open the freezer door, check and make sure the ice bucket on the door is not full and the bin is snapped and locked in place, Check the switch on the right freezer wall above the red LED light, make sure it is in the "on" position. then close the door and wait at least 1 minute.
Open the freezer door and observe the red LED light, is in ON, Off, or flashing. If it is flashing, press in on the door flapper on the left wall, if the LED light stays on solid, your optic system is probably OK, if it continues to lash, you'd have a bad circuit in the optic sensor circuit. If the light is never on, you'd have a bad optic sensor system or bad icemaker( it's stuck in a Harvest mode.

Let us know what you find, we can get you up and going from there.

:) :) :)
