Hello,
the water going to the icemaker freezes in the feed tube and does not make ice.
Thank you

Hi Mark,

Most likely the problem is a bad water inlet valve on the back of the refrigerator.

- The part number for the water inlet valve is AP3160649

Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool refrigerator Model GD25DFXFB01

Hello Gene,
Thanks for the advice. Can you tell me the reason behind, how a broken water inlet valve causes the water to freeze in the inlet tube.
thank you
Mark

Because it did not shut water off when it should. Water keeps running slowly and freezes up in the tube.
