I have an undercounter ice maker, model number kuix505ess0, SNK52000055 and the flow sensor W10485962 stopped sensing water in the reservoir. I replaced the flow sensor with W11741505 since that has superseded W10485962. However, after upgrading to W11741505, the water reservoir was still overflowing and water only stops after it times out. I ran through a diagnosis to test the flow sensor and water stops filling about halfway up the reservoir. After some research, I read that I likely need to upgrade my control board to communicate properly with the new pump/level sensor (W11741505). I ordered a new control board (W11034363) but I am still experiencing the same problem where the water reservoir keeps overflowing. One thing I noticed is the packaging for the controlboard shows pn W11034363 with a date of 04/17/25 but the part number on the controller board is W10886282 Rev B. Is there someone who can help confirm if the controlboard should work with part number W11741505 or is there another solution I’m missing that will fix the issue of the water reservoirfrom overflowing?
