Sounds like the problem is some where in the ice maker control module. You can try to replace it but I would suggest to replace the whole ice maker. The difference in price is just about $10, but the rate of success on ice makers repairs is very low. So, the whole new ice maker will make the repair much more reliable.
Thanks for your advice. I think that’s what I’ll do. Based on the replacement parts diagram that you pointed me to for my model, I think that the ice maker part number that I need is AP2984633, not AP4360346.
These two ice makers are identical. The difference between them is: the ice maker with the part number AP4360346 contains the ice maker only. So, you have to use the head cover and shut off arm from the old one. The other ice maker comes as a kit with all accessories.
Hey guys - I have the same problem as you, but wanted to confirm which part I should replace before going forward.
Background;
Whirlpool side by side. Model # GS6SHAXKB01
Door dispenses water.
No water to ice maker, found frozen water in tube to ice maker and cleared it.
Did following tests;
“N” & “L” - ok reads 120 V.
“T” & “N” - nothing happens.
“L” & “V” - no water dispensed.
“M” & “N” - nothing happens.
“H” & “N” - no heat.
So do I need to replace the entire Ice Maker? If so what is the part number (can’t find it for complete unit).
Thanks for your quick reply - always a pleasure to work with you, you have helped me several times in the past…
Sorry, I miss typed, I did the “T” & “H” short and nothing happened. I reassembled the IM , put it back in the freezer and let the freezer section cool down. After the freezer cooled down I turned the IM “On” and now about 8 hours later it’s making ice again!! Not sure what to make of this, it’s hard to believe a frozen water feed line would cause this? All is working well at the moment (in fact I just heard it dump another load of ice and refill with water) so unless something goes wrong in the next 24 hours I’ll assume it was the frozen water line that caused all the problems.
I have a Kitchen Aid side-by-side, model KSRA22ILSS00. The ice maker stopped producing ice - the emitter light is off. I turned the power off for ten minutes and the emitter light did not flash or show any color when turned back on. The icemaker was turned off and then turned back on. I do have water flowing through on the outside door. Should I check for 120VAC at the “L” and “N” test points as you suggested or just replace the whole unit? Or just replace the optic PC board kit? I think you said the difference in price was minimal so I’d rather replace the unit if that will rule out any other issues. I have not tried the hairdryer on the hose as yet.
If the LED is off while the freezer door is open and the light inside the freezer is on, then the optic boards are bad. No doubt about it. You can not check the rest until you replace them.
I have been reading these boards looking for advice. You seem extremely knowledgable with regards to ice makers. I was hoping you might have some advice for my situation. I posted a thread about it but have not received any replies. Thanks in advance.
Hi Gene, I replaced the optic boards as you told me and I am getting ice but the red let is blinking twice and it stays red when I hold the flap on the left down. Could the red light be there because I need to replace the filter or for some other reason? thanks for all your help!
[QUOTE=tstewart;494565]I have a kscs25inss00
no power on L and N
where do i check for power next[/QUOTE]
Was the “on-off” switch on the right side on at the test time?
Remove the ice maker. Remove the ice maker harness from the ice maker and check the black wire for continuity. If there is no continuity, replace the whole ice maker.
