Shut your water off - disconnect the water line to the from the back of the refrigerator at the top where it goes into the icemaker. I used zip tie or something flexable to see if it would go all the way through to the tube inside the refrig. If you have obstruction - use your hair dryer to thaw the ice from inside the refrigerator tube. When the flexable goes all the way through. Hook back the water line to the icemaker. You will have ice soon. Read more: http://forum.appliancepartspros...post227249#ixzz0pzmjhvPC http://forum.appliancepartspros.com

Yesterday it was freezing water, but the ice ejector was in the wrong position, getting frozen in. took it apart, fixed, and broke the white plastic wheel that turns it. Whirlpool doesnt show it as a seperate part - must buy motor for 70.00 is that true?
