This video will help you test and replace an ice maker in a Maytag or Whirlpool Gold French door refrigerator part number W10882923.
In this peticular case the ice maker was defective. The motor just kept running and running and running like the energizer bunny. This means the ice maker is bad and needs to be replaced. Below will be a link to the ice maker if you need one as well.
Here are some tips below to help you in the troubleshooting process. Good luck!
Tip #1 To get voltage to this ice maker the unit has to be in diagnostics and on test #25. This is the ice maker test other wise you won’t be able to test the ice maker for operation.
#2 A few things about testing this ice maker. To get it running you need a jumper wire to jump between the “T” and the “H”. This makes the ice maker think it’s ready to harvest and should start the motor. If you are getting voltage between the “L” and the “N” and it still won’t move. Change the ice maker. If it goes all the way around and won’t fill with water, but you can hear it try to fill, you will be looking at a fill problem. Either the water valve has failed, filter is clogged, frozen water line etc.
#3 To install this ice maker you need to replace the harness as well if it hasn’t been updated already. In the box or come with two different ones. Match up the one you take out and install the correct one. You will know if you have the right one if everything matches the old one and you have no left over connectors after installation.

Thank You! Excellant tutorial. You saved me several hours of frustration and cursing. This video made this so much easier. For others troubleshooting their own problems. My ice maker stopped making ice. I removed it, and it had ice in the maker, but was not harvesting. I melted the old ice and reinstalled. It would not fill with water. I put it in diagnostic mode 25 and jumped H and T and it would cycle, but never call for water. Checked the fill valve with my multimeter and I had 185 ohms on 1 and 256 ohms on the other. My internet search said I should have about 500 ohms but I felt like it was the ice maker not calling for water, so I replaced that. Installed new ice maker per these instructions and problem solved.

@DaKine96791 9 месяцев назад

Ok so I just replaced my ice maker and currently have the same issue you described. I jumped the T and H and the unit fills and cycles. Issue is that the water just sits in the mold and freezes. What am I missing here.

@stephanieteleski9276 4 года назад

This video is AWESOME! Made the job a breeze. thanks much! For other folks diagnosing: My icemaker wasn't getting water but the regular water dispenser on the door was fine. It was getting 110V to the icemaker unit using service mode "25" command, but it would only go into cycle test w/ bail arm actually moving 1 of the 4 times I tried it. Additionally, the valve for the icemaker tested about 180 ohms resistance so I assumed that was good enough. I replaced the icemaker itself and, BOOM, we have ice now. Thanks again.

@ThaDancingClown 4 года назад

Excellent video and I couldn’t of done it without you but there’s a couple of really big issues that I would like to address that will make installation much much easier for any other DYIer watching this video. Firstly, you do not have to disconnect the auger motor and attempt to use a nut driver long enough to reach the grounding screw. You can simply disconnect the solenoid from the two screws in the back using a Phillips head screwdriver. There are two tabs you push in after removal and the entire piece comes out with the grounding screw attached. Second, when reinstalling the ice machine there is a small door on top of the refrigerator that is the access point for the water for your icemaker. Simply remove the door and push the hose up from the inside where it protrudes down until it’s flush. This allows the icemaker to slide in with ease and you simply push down on the hose on the top of the refrigerator and replace the door after you’re done. I beg of you to add these steps because it made a huge difference in my installation.

@thebotlobbydaily Год назад

A metal paint can opener that has a curved end (like the ones provided by the Big Box stores, as well as Ace and True Hardware that also includes a handy beer bottle opener🍻 ) stores can come in handy if you're trying to pop the cover off the ice-maker to access the various test points.👍👍

@gregbgregb8487 2 года назад

Question since this icemaker had a test mode. What was the purpose of testing it for voltage? Or were you trying to see if it was a voltage drop under the load? But great video got one I gotta look at in about a hour.

@joshualee2516 4 месяца назад

@ChuckMeinecke 4 года назад

Enjoyed the video. Learned a lot. I'm having trouble with water building up under the fill tray and freezing. The ice tray also builds up a layer of ice and the ice maker will not dispense ice. I can't seem to find out where the water is coming from. When I had the ice maker out I put water in the tray and there were no leaks. I would appreciate any input you have to this problem. Thanks

@telecasterbear 5 лет назад

Ours is one year old. I drink water daily from the door dispenser. Today I went for ice through the door, which I usually don't do. Lots of sediment in the bottom of my glass as the ice melted. I just took out the ice bin and emptied it. We shall see after a fresh batch of ice is made. We replace the filter as suggested.

@rcfanatic Год назад

Many thanks for the clear, no nonsense instructions! I also was on the fence about it being the water valve solenoid or the ice maker. I ran the exact diagnostics you described and sure enough the ice maker wasn't calling for water. New ice maker is filling normally! I'm not sure if it's related but at the same time the ice maker failed my fridge began running warm. My freezer works fine though. There was a small amount of ice on the right side of the evaporator (

@cmlapaz 3 года назад

So my ice maker started acting up. It makes ice but it doesn't harvest the ice. I manually have to harvest it by using a jumper wire on the H and T and that starts the motor and I'm able to harvest the ice and then fills with water and start the cycle again but after the ice freezes, it doesn't continue on to harvest the ice. I should probably just replace the entire unit but just curious what you think the issue is because it's obviously not completely broken. Thanks.

@LosReyesdelFrio 2 года назад

I have one of the same ice machines but the ice when they fall to the tray they stick together, it will be due to a lot of water pressure or there will be some configuration so that this does not happen. Because the ice sticks together because they no longer come out and they get stuck ..

@glockman83 Месяц назад

Hello quick question about my fridge. I have a whirlpool model WRX735SDBM02. Ice maker stopped working. I checked to see if ice stocked or arm froze and both were fine. I found a video where it shows how to jump start which I did. The ice maker teeth started slowly moving so did the arm. Once it finished rotating water kicked on and filled the ice tray. After few hours we had some ice and then stopped again. If I do the same steps it will produce more ice but why is it not doing on its own? I also replaced water filter. Is there anything else I can try? Thank you!

@504ksh 3 года назад

@bmwmaw 4 года назад

great video, so mine keeps turning just like yours but way slower. Never notice the fill valve trying to come on. Definitely a bad ice maker then I assume?

I see other videos with the screw but I dont see it on this unit. Is there a way to increase the ice cube size?

@BeardedApplianceRepair 3 года назад

Unfortunately no, that’s only on Frigidaire ice makers to my knowledge. For those I make sure the customer changes the water filter. Still have a problem? than it could be in the plumbing before the fridge or water valve on the fridge. You can do a water pressure test and see what kind of pressure is coming in. I believe they need somewhere around 60psi. The installation manual may have the exact specs needed

@DaKine96791 9 месяцев назад

Just replaced my unit. I was able to jump the T and H the unit cycles. Issue is that the water just sits frozen and unit never cycles only when jumped. Not sure what to check next. Where is the thermostat and how can I test it?

@LosReyesdelFrio 2 года назад

I have a French door-type Maytag refrigerator, the problem is that it starts making ice normally after about 15 days the ice begins to make balls together, that is, all the ice sticks on the tray and the ice no longer packs, because they are stuck I went in yes, by removing the ice manually, it returns to produce normal ice but after 15 days it does the same again .. I already changed the new ice maker, only the pure ice maker and the problem persists .. the question is why it is happening That or what suggestion could you give me exactly? It has that same ice maker model !!

@jonahwright1346 4 года назад

Appreciate the video guys, very very helpful. Question: I jumped the unit and the unit cycled about 3 full times, but water was never called to the unit. Also, I would like to point out that the blue teeth turned incredibly slow (much slower than in your video). Any suggestions on if its the ice maker or not? The not calling for water makes me believe it may be more than that, but wanted to hear your opinion if you were willing to share. Appreciate all of your time.

@cheryladams2717 Год назад

Hi...May I ask for a little direction? I have this exact ice maker. I have probably 3 separate issues with my ice maker. My biggest issue is that after my first problem many years ago, the ice bin filled too full and it was stuck closed. I broke the plastic holding clips for the ice maker/bin housing while trying to get it open. Can that be replaced? Also, the "switch" or whatever that pauses ice making when it's full, is still an issue. I usually just open it and turn it off until it gets low. Then thirdly, and finally, the cubes do not separate, as in, they fall in full 4-5 piece clumps. I feel confident that if I replaced the ice maker it would fix problem 2 and 3, but the broken plastic clips in the housing, I can't seem to identify in parts diagrams. Can you help? Thank you.( My fridge is 16 years old now and I know it's probably more reliable than whats in the stores now. Thats why we've lived with it for so long. Having said that, if I can't repair this issue and the time comes that i need to replace my fridge, what do you find to be most reliable? )

@Tibbs411 5 лет назад

Thank you for the Video. I have the same ice maker but mine is over filling and flooding the ice maker and into the refrigerator. It happened twice about 2 weeks apart. The water side has been fine. But when this happened the valve clicks on to fill the ice maker and doesn"t shut off . Thank God I was home both times. Do you think it is the ice maker or the dual water valve feeding the ice maker?

@BeardedApplianceRepair 5 лет назад

Martin McDonough if I had to guess I would say it was the water valve. Could be water pressure too. Have you change the filter lately? When you say it clicks is it a rapid click? Kinda like a machine gun sound. If so I would say water valve for sure. I would change the filter too though. How you know if it the ice maker is you have to check voltage at the valve when it’s clicking. If you see power cut in and out you’re looking at the ice maker. All this is if it’s a rapid click. To be safe you can get all three lol. Good luck!

@BeardedApplianceRepair 4 года назад

When you jumped t to h were you in test 25 in diagnostics? Won’t have power up there unless you’re in that test. Sound like an ice maker issue though. If you have the black ice maker. Go ahead and update it. If it’s not bad now it will be in the future.

@bobt1931 3 года назад

I have a Maytag with a similar ice maker. If I remove the ice maker, is there a way to jumper the refrigerator side of the wire harness to get the water to flow out of the tube that fills the ice maker? The refrigerator is inside an RV and this would be extremely helpful for winterizing.

@BeardedApplianceRepair 3 года назад

I would just disconnect the tube. Gravity will get the water out of it. It’s only held in there by a vacuum in the tube. If you have ever had a drink with a straw and you hold the top on the straw over the hole and lift it out the drink will stay in the straw. Than when you let go the drink falls out. That essentially what your doing there when you disconnect the waterline from the valve.

@BeardedApplianceRepair 5 лет назад

There should be a way to turn it on. On some models there is a button in the display that turns on and off the ice maker. Others you will have to go into options to turn it on. If those don’t work or can’t figure it out I would find your use and care manual and it should mention how to do it in there. If you need the manual you can look up “Maytag manuals” on google to get the website where you can pull up the manual by model number.

@BeardedApplianceRepair 4 года назад

Make sure it has power at “L” and “N”. If it does you need an ice maker. If not you will have to check power from the board to the harness at the ice maker. Do not jump L and N. That will cause a short and potential damage to your fridge.

@rodneybear5994 4 года назад

Bearded Appliance Repair, I came home to water running out of the ice maker. (W10882923), is there anyway to test ice maker to see what is wrong? Just found your response to Martin McDonough. My ice maker will click once (I'm assuming it's the water valve opening to fill the ice tray??) What is the valve part number that would need replacing and where is it located.

Replaced ice maker and water inlet valve on whirlpool fridge; dumped a load of ice, filled, and now not dumping again. What can I check next? Thanks.

@BeardedApplianceRepair 4 года назад

Emitter and receiver also called ice level sensor. Its an Ir sensor that goes across the ice bin. Clean the holes with a q-tip first. Only other thing is a bad new ice maker. Sounds like the emitter and receiver to me though. I believe there is a link in the description for it.

@FC-yq9om 4 года назад

Bearded Appliance Repair it’s not the model with the sensor though, has the metal arm.

@BeardedApplianceRepair 4 года назад

F C my bad I was thinking of another video. Thought the comment was on that one. Try the filter if you haven’t already. Clogged filter can cause the mold not to fill up completely and can cause ice making issues. Make sure it getting cold enough. Ice box fan can fail I believe there is a test for it in diagnostics. Tech sheet should be under the top right hung cap. If it’s not there check behind the kick plate. Mess with the door switches a little bit too. If you see one of them fail the ice maker won’t cycle like it should. Only will cycle if the door is closed. That’s what I would look for, only other thing would be a bad board or ice maker(even if it’s brand new. Can’t really test if it’s a bad board either. Just have to try it and see what happens. Good luck!

I have a maytag/whirlpool refrigerator exactly the one in your video, but my problem i having is that is only making crushed ice no ice cubes coming out. There's ice on the bucket, and i hear the refrigerator working and making ice. Please help. Need a solution to this problem. What you think it is.

@BeardedApplianceRepair 4 года назад

Could be the solenoid that pops the lever open for cubed ice. When you run it you should hear a pretty significant pop noise before the auger starts.

@BeardedApplianceRepair 4 года назад

You probably just have some ice clumped together. When you changed it out your ice probably melted and froze back together. Dump your ice bin and start over with new ice and it should work well.

@mmgg5737 5 лет назад

Question...so i replaced the same unit with the same replacement unit as shown in this video and while it does make ice, it does so very slowly. 48+ hours and it's only made a few batches of ice. What i noticed watching this video is that i did not put that thermal fuse in the metal clip or swap out the bail arm to the new one....would this cause the slow ice production?

@BeardedApplianceRepair 5 лет назад

I wouldn’t think so no. All you need for it to make ice is for it to be cold and have the right amount of water. If it’s not cold enough it will take more time for it to freeze the ice. If your not getting the mold to fill up all the way it will slowly produce ice as well. So check temps and water pressure. If you haven’t changed the filter recently give that a shot.

Yeah give that a shot. A lot of places warranty the part and they will swap it out for you. That will either fix it or rule it out. If it’s cold enough and it gets enough water I would say you’re right.

@bradleyaquino4443 5 лет назад

I think it’s the thermal fuse. The purple wire/ thermal fuse reads when the cubes are frozen so it knows when to harvest. Just my thoughts, doesn’t hurt to try.

@MrJoedotmac 3 года назад

Helps if your testing for AC volts. Have volts at L and N. Jumping T&H can actuate the harvester, it rotates, dumps ice and refills. Anyway to test the mold or temp sensor anything else that can be tested to identify the component of the unit versus the entire maker?

Need a little help. Ice maker started making very little ice with small cubes. Pressure was low so I replaced inlet valve. Pressure improved but no change in ice making patterns. Bought new and Replaced ice maker just as you did in video. Ice quality is slightly better (bigger cubes) but still slow. Never get a full basket of ice even if no use for a couple days. Any ideas? I’m not sure what to do next.

@BeardedApplianceRepair 5 лет назад

Does the water fill up the whole mold? If it doesn’t I would continue to try and figure out the pressure problem. Trying a new filter if you haven’t already. Second would be water pressure from the wall. I believe you want at least 60 psi there. If the mold is filling up like it should than you may have a cooling problem. Could be a fan failure, defrost issue, Freon leak or restriction. Pray it’s not a leak or restriction. One thing you could do is clean your condenser. If it has lint or pet hair on it could restrict air flow across the condenser which can effect the cooling of your fridge. Good luck!

@chrisszulc2923 5 лет назад

Bearded Appliance Repair so I did a little experimenting and put the original stock ice maker back in and it made no ice. Put the brand new ice maker back in and quickly made 2 trays of ice and dumped each. Now it’s been 1/2 a day since it last dumped ice despite cubes being frozen in the tray. Any ideas why it would make a couple rotations of ice and then quit? Appreciate your help, man. Thanks.

@BeardedApplianceRepair 5 лет назад

Chris Szulc ice makers have a thermostat that tells it that it is ready to make ice. When the ice maker fills with water the temp goes from day 0 degrees(freezer temp) to 70 (water temp) when it get down to 5-10 degrees is says hey this is now ice let’s drop it and make some more. On the first try it was probably sensing it from room temp to the 5-10 degree for harvest. The second trip maybe it got enough water back to that thermostat to bring the thermostat temp up so when it got back down to 5-10 degrees is made it the second time. You either have a cooling problem where it’s not getting cold enough to made it consistently or water pressure problem where water is not reaching the thermostat to tell itself “hey we’re starting another round”. I hope this makes sense to you. Degrees may vary on the type of ice maker you have. It may work at 15 degrees instead of 5-10. If I had to put money on it I would say you have a water pressure problem.

@chrisszulc2923 5 лет назад

@@BeardedApplianceRepair Thank you so much for your help! I agree I think I have a water pressure problem at this point. I have already changed my water filter, replaced inlet valve inside the fridge, and checked water supply pressure. Pressure from water supply was strong. No kinks in hose. No sediment around connections. Water pressure out of water dispenser on front of fridge is also very strong. Any other ideas on where I could check for pressure problem? Only other thing I haven't checked is the hose from inlet valve to fill tube. Maybe it is clogged or damaged? Maybe some frozen water in fill tube? I'm out of ideas! If you have any other ideas I'd love to hear them. Thanks again for all your help.

@BeardedApplianceRepair 5 лет назад

Chris Szulc I would get a pressure gauge on your supply and see what it reads. If it read close to 60psi you can rule that out. From there you can trace the water through the system and see where the pressure drops. This tool should have everything that you need. Flow Doctor Water Pressure Gauge Kit, All Purpose, 6 Parts Kit, 0 To 200 Psi, 0 To 14 Bars, Standard 3/4" Female Garden Hose Thread Plus 5 Adapters To Test in Multiple Locations Indoors and Outdoors www.amazon.com/dp/B01KX7PDD8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mZTxDbF44886V Restriction could be in reservoir, filter head, etc. where you see it drop is where you will find your problem.

@shawnlouey4992 5 лет назад

When your saying about testing L and N and not getting voltage its a circuit card where would that be located? My problem is i cant get ice made and also cant get it to refill with water when testing in 25? If i buy the ice maker link you have located will that fix my problem?

@BeardedApplianceRepair 5 лет назад

If your not getting voltage between l and n during test 25 you may be looking at the main board. They should be on the back wall of the unit. 4 screws than you take the panel off and it’s right there. If you are getting voltage it could be your water valve or ice maker. If you have voltage and jump the v and l it sends power down to the valve. If it fills than you ice maker will be the culprit. If it fails you will be looking at the water valve. I would make sure you have good pressure at the wall by running the water dispenser. If you have good water flow than I would say it would be your water valve. Randomly we find broken wires and such but in rare occasions. Still a possible problem though. Good luck!

@BeardedApplianceRepair 5 лет назад

@@BeardedApplianceRepair It ended up being the ice maker and also the water valve. The new ice maker fixed it started filling water in ice maker as soon as i installed.

The other issue i was wondering about and maybe it's fixed i wont know for a couple days but have you have had water freeze in the freezer underneath the drawers. Its like a sheet of ice before every so often i would have to get in there and chip it out and throw out the ice outside or i would see a puddle on the floor? Could it be because the fridge isn't level from the front to the back?

@BeardedApplianceRepair 5 лет назад

Shawn Louey if you replaced the water valve behind that panel in the fridge I would say you fixed it. If it was leaking behind that panel the water would go to the floor of the fridge section and hang out there and can freeze a sheet down there being so close to the freezer. Glad you got her fixed my friend!

Hopefully you're still fielding comments. I had an issue where the icemaker wasn't receiving water. I tested it by jumping V and L. It was calling for water, but not receiving it. I bought the replacement double inlet valve, installed it, tested it by jumping V and L and it seemed fine. Put the false panels back in the fridge cabinet and tested it again by jumping lifting the arm. Nothing. Tried jumping V and L. Nothing. Then I noticed the fan wasn't blowing from the icemaker, even with the door switches taped shut. Everything seemed to be working fine for about 30 seconds, but now it seems like I'm just not getting power. I checked continuity on the purple wire with the fuse, but everything seems normal. Anything I might have missed, like a bother fuse somewhere? It's just so odd that the icemaker seemed to be working fine until I replaced the valve, and decided to take a shit immediately afterwards

@BeardedApplianceRepair 4 года назад

If it’s the black ice maker I would go ahead and replace it. The new updated one is much better. Got to go into test 25 to get power at the ice maker. That fridge does not always have power at the ice maker and need to be in diagnostics on test 25 to make it. Hope this helps sorry for the delay. I’m getting more and more comments so it’s hard to keep up with them all.
