I need to fix an icemaker in a Whirlpool Frig. that stopped working 2 weeks ago. Water and ice come out of the front. The water still comes out, but no ice is being made.
I checked it out yesterday briefly. I turned down the thermostat as low as it goes, pulled out the tray to check for obstructions, played with the timer a bit to see if it would turn, and put the tray back until it clicked in place.
It's still not working, however.
Do I need to remove the panel where the timer is connected to get to the solenoids? If so, how do I remove the timer? I have to remove it to remove the panel.
I haven't pulled out the frig yet. Are there separate water supplies to the water and ice functions?
She mentioned that the icemaker quit right after someone messed with her
swampcooler. I thought that was a red herring, but I'm not sure now. I just figured it quit because it got hot out.
