I am trying to repair my water dispenser / ice maker. The part that the appliance store gave me is part WR57X10051. It does not look like the old part, but does seem to fit the water lines etc. The problem that I have is that the electrical looks different. There are still two plugs in, just not sure at this point which plug goes in which side. One plug in is Blue and the other one is a reddish color.

The two plug in consists of a orange wire and a whiteish wire.

Can someone help me get these hooked up right?

I have plugged them in various ways and now am not sure of where the heck I started. I get to the point that the water valve makes a sound, but no water comes through the door. It comes in an abundance into the ice maker and subsequently into the freezer side.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you hook it up wrong water will enter the icemaker when you attempt to dispense water. If that happens switch the wires.

There is a chance the water line is frozen. Typically on this model the line will freeze in the fresh food section in the water storage reservoir located behind the bottom bins. Try heating the water reservoir with a hair dryer or something. Hope this helps!

Wow, you are a lifesaver. I changed the wires and now I do not have a waterfall in the freezer anymore. However, I did have a little water on the floor about an hour after I pushed the refrigerator back in place. Nothing since then though. I am hoping that it waqs just residual water that dripped out from inside?

Thanks again!
