Ice Maker Not Working KitchenAid

Refrigerator & Freezer Repair

Did you check the black wire for continuity?

This wire has inline thermal fuse and, if it was open that’s why the ice maker did not work.

Anyway, it’s up and running and it is good news.

I have a Kenmore Elite model 56532400 with the same problem of no ice the rest in this thread have. I see no LED light at any time. Should I see it with this model? The circuit board which is 4389102 appears similar as does the ice maker module itself.

The answer is: yes. You should see the LED as soon as you open the freezer door. If it’s not there, replace the optic PC boards.

Gene- Have a KitchenAid KSRA25FKSS00 ice maker that won’t fill. Temp is 2 deg., fill tube is clear, red LED stays solid when flapper closed. I have continuity in black wire. Checked for 120VAC between N & L & don’t get any voltage. Jumped T & H & got no movement. Attempted to check input voltage to icemaker but only get 54 vac. Which wires should carry the 120 to icemaker? Thanks, Mike

Try to do the following test:

  1. Jump test points “T” to “H”.
  2. Make sure the ice bin is on the door, the IDI slide is “on,” and both doors are closed.
  3. Unplug the unit, or turn off the power for 10 seconds, and then reapply power (it’s better if the compressor is not running at that time).
  4. After 10 seconds, open and close the freezer door.
  5. After 15 seconds, open the freezer door. The ice maker should be running.
  6. Remove the jumper from test points “T” to “H”.

Post the results.

Kitchenaide ice maker not workiing … getting water, frozen in bottom of maker, LED flashes twice, then twice, then twice.

67

What is the complete model number of the refrigerator?

How did you test the LED?

Gene,
Executed the above procedure & it is making ice! Still have to replace water valve because of fill line freezing but don’t need ice maker yet. As usual, you are amazing Gene. Thanks alot.

Gene,
On 8/4 you replied to me about the led not showing on my ice maker. I replaced the two modules and the correct led sequences showed. I initiated one cycle by a manual fill of the tray but after ejecting the ice the tray did not refill. I discovered that the inlet tube had an ice plug which I removed. All seems to be working correctly now. I do not know if the bad modules and the ice plug were somehow related, or if the plug developed on its own during the time the circuits were bad. I appreciate the good advice that you gave. Thank you.
Carl

Gene, our 3-year-old Kitchenaid KSRV22FVSS makes ice, dumps it into the bin, but when one presses the outside lever to get ice none dispenses. The motor can be heard, but the augur does not turn. Any suggestions as to what part may be bad? The water side works fine.
Thanks.

No, they are not related. Sounds like the water inlet valve is the culprit.

Remove the ice bin and check the coupler (#30 on the diagram)

Gene- I have Kitchen Aid, model # KSRP25FSSS01. Water dispenser works fine, no water going to icemaker. When I open the door and simulate it being close, that is I shut the flopper on the left and press the button at the top which turns the interior light off, the red sensor light goes out. Is this what should happen, or shold it always be flashing/solid?

I removed the icemaker and melted out the ice that was in it. What steps should I take to solve this?

Thanks for the suggestion, but our Kitchenaid KSRV22FVSS does not have the coupler. The hex drive shaft has a nylon collar over which the Part 24 fits before the hex drive shaft protrudes from Part 22. The ice bin fits directly onto the hex drive shaft. I removed the motor. The bottom of the hex shaft fits into a coupling that sits without fastener into the motor. I am able to run the motor and see into the hole where the hex drive shaft sits. The gears are not revolving, hence the hex shaft does not revolve, hence the ice bin machinery does not deliver cubes or crush them. The motor is Whirlpool No. 2322580, vendor no. ESKI.

If you would, please confirm you agree this means the motor must be replaced. Thanks. (This is annoying because our unit was purchased less than 2 years ago, and in fact the motor label states a mfg. date of 102609, about two weeks before we bought our unit!)

ddsflagday,

Looks like you are on the right track. If the gears are not revolving then the motor most likely is the culprit.

The manufacturer 2322580 part number is APP AP5985114

Sorry for the delay.

Do it again, but don’t touch the light switch.

Make sure the water feeding tube into the ice maker is unclogged.

The light sensor seems to be inconsistent. Sometimes it flashes correctly, sometimes there’s no light at all. The tube leading into the icemaker seems to be clear. I manually added water into the icemaker, but it didnt trigger the cycle. If the optics are bad, does that mean the icemaker wont dump the ice even if filled manually? Thanks

Hello

this thread has answered most of my qustions about my failed KitchenAid
model KSCS25INSS00 refrig’s icemaker. Optics seem fine - 2 flashes when flapper open, led on steady when flapper closed. Apparently bad icemaker control module. My only concer before ordering a new icemaker is the fact that I do not get any voltage to the module. even unplugged, there is no voltage to the connect the icemaker hooks up to. Should that be a concern?

thanks,

Terry

Terry,

Possible that the optic boards are bad too even there is no error code shown. Very likely that one of the power relays is faulty.
