    This video will help you diagnose ice maker on a Kitchen Aid/Whirlpool refrigerator. First thing you want to do is check error codes for the ice maker. Hold the left most button on the user interface for 3 seconds. The control will show a count down during this process. Number 01 pops up. You want to go to number 56. This is the ice maker error code test. E2 is ice maker lost motor position error. Nine times out of 10 the ice maker is bad when this is the case. Go ahead and replace the ice maker and it should work for you. Good luck and like and Subscribe!

    Well, actually one needs to unplug the refrigerator. I bought from these guys a new ice maker, replaced it following these instructions (with the power on) and I still had the E5 code on and no ice. I unplugged power, left it without power for about 40 minutes, plugged it back again let it hum a couple of hours and checked again. Code E5 is gone and the refrigerator makes ice again. Thank you

    Thank you! I followed your video and replaced my ice maker. You made me realize it's not too difficult to do. I swapped it out in 40 minutes. I'm sure I saved hundreds of dollars because the part was only $90! I had to do a hard reset the next morning, unplugging the fridge for 10 minutes because it wasn't dispensing ice after replacing it. This worked to reset the control board, I now have ice in the bin!

    THANKS SO MUCH! I learned more information about my Whirlpool fridge from your 'precise and easy to follow' video than I have from the last dozen I tried to watch for help. YOU ROCK! Because of the information you provided, I was able to determine by the codes that the ice maker itself was error free, but that one side of the water inlet valve had failed. Therefore, I was getting water to the water dispenser, but no water going to the ice maker to make ice with. So much information, in so little time, thanks to you, sir! Finding the tech sheet was a super tip to start with. Appreciate you!!

One additional comment- the new icemaker has to be perfectly in position with no wires caught underneath the icemaker unit or the cassette lid will not go back in place like it should and the cassette will not fit back into the fridge. Thankyou so much for putting this out there for the rest of us.

    This video is really great, and I appreciate it. I've watched it several times until it sank in. Unfortunately, I'm still confused as to what my problem might be, and I might have to call a service tech. I have a family and money is tight, and I really don't want to have to do that. Low or no ice production. New water filter from known good reseller. Service Test 15 - Ice Level sensor passes. Service Test 56 - Ice Maker Error Codes: E0 - no errors. Service Test 59 - Ice Maker Motor, passes, both directions. Service Test 57 - Ice Maker Harvest - Will dispense any ice that is in ice maker. Service Test 45, Ice Maker Water Fill Test: Passes. If anyone has any advice, I'd certainly appreciate it.

  • @spacemonkeyfive
    @spacemonkeyfive 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is a great video! I changed out my ice-maker (found on eBay) today by following it. A couple of minor points. You have to push in on the flange next to the water line with a screwdriver to get the tube out. Otherwise, it will not pull out. Also, once you get the plastic cover off the ice maker box, be careful of the styrofoam sheet that is exposed. It is very thin and fragile. The ice maker wire plug connection is tiny and you can accidentally crack the styrofoam trying to unplug it. My fridge had two light plugs under the large ceiling panel instead of one, but not a big deal. Altogether a great guide!

    I have the same fridge. We weren't getting any error codes. Oddly enough, Test 59 would find position one direction and not the other ... but we had no error codes.
    After running Test 19 (Heater) for about 5 minutes, I ran the test that ejects the ice (I think it was 57) prior to running the water fill test for the ice maker. When I did, I heard some small bits of ice fall out.
    After doing this, I had ice in the door the next morning. Hoping it was just some ice gunking up the works that got broke out from heating it up and cycling it. If you have no ice in the door but have no codes, it's worth a shot. A new ice maker is like $130 (on amazon, from the link provided, as of yesterday). Don't throw money at the problem if you can warm it up for 5 minutes and let it ride another day.

    Excellent video. Thanks a bunch! My ice maker is erratic. The ice bin was a bit low in the morning when it usually fills up at night from its typical half full level. So, after watching your video and finding my tech sheet per your directions I did a test and got a zero code. Three seconds later the ice maker dropped a load of ice just. Sometimes the bin gets much lower than this time. So now I know where to start right away next time for diagnosis. Thanks much for posting your video ! I'm saving the bookmark in case I have to replace the ice maker or something in it.
    BTW for others. If you don't want to be replacing the auger motor or shaft in the ice bin just reach into it once a day with a clean hand and stir/break up the ice so it is not clumped up.

Thanks to your video I followed every step by step which makes it very easy to disassemble the ice maker. After 24 hrs it was making ice again and hoping it will continue to make ice when it gets low, my old ice maker was making intermittent ice so hopefully this new one will fix that problem.

    Not sure how long it will hold up, but ours was failing the CW & CCW test as well. I just removed the door cover, reran the CCW test and manually assisted the motor and it started to run. I then ran the CCW test a couple more times, then re ran the CW test a few times and it passed every time. I cleared the E2 code and now it’s been working perfectly for the last 2 weeks. Just a $0 option for your viewers to try before replacing the ice maker.

    Great video easy to follow. Just changed out the ice maker which I ordered from your link. I still get 02 on both test 59. I can see it turn in both directions but I guess it never find the home position. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have ice!

    great video... I've had some friends who used to do fridge maintenance and they said 90% of the time the ice maker is just frozen... and all it needs is to use a hairdryer on the whole thing... dry it o ff and put back in. Now... I figure I'll still put in a replacement cause I don't want to do the job twice........but for those that are quick with their tools...... you might try this.

    Instructions were perfect until I went to replace the ice maker. Both have three larger wires with harness, but the new ice maker only has one more wire harness with six wires and the old ice maker (same as video) has two more wire harnesses (one with two wires and one with four wires). I may try to cut/splice the two white wires from ice maker and connect to red/brown wires in other harness unless you have any other suggestions. I checked and both new and old ice makers have some part numbers.

Weirdly when I disconnected my water tube it didn't have any water in it, but it's also been about 5months since my ice maker stopped as well. I did the tests like you did at the beginning of the video and my old part didn't do anything. Got the new one in and did the tests, it worked. Now to see if i get ice.

    finding the service info on board testing was gold, now maybe I'll be able to track down the reason my interior lights and cold cut drawer stop working until I unplug the unit for fifteen minutes. Boards were too expensive to take a guess. I've already had to change out a defective icemaker water control valve, pricey part because they combined the water and ice maker supply solenoids into one assembly

    THANK YOU! I'm calling the Whirlpool Authorized Technician that came to my house and in 10 seconds and $87.00 later told me I needed a new ice maker, and requesting a refund. His cost would have been around $300.00 to do the work. I changed it myself for $60.00 and still no ice. Then I saw this video OMG why is it that EVERY Whirlpool tech does not know how to run this diagnostic or where to find this tech sheet? Finally I ran all of the pertinent tests for the ice maker and found the Ice Level Sensor was not right. At least I know now where to look.

    Thank you for this video. I was able to buy the icemaker for my Whirlpool and replace it. It was pretty easy. Now the question I have is . . . How does the motor lose it's home position? Couldn't you just pull the motor out and reset it - what exactly is the home position signal. Seems like this error could be fixed with a reset of the ice motor. Also, this didn't fix my issue - my fan went out too.

  • @ironhead37

    Very helpful, thanks! Exactly the same steps for my Jennair. I probably would've broken a clip or two trying to guess my way through. I pulled mine all apart to verify the part number (I was getting conflicting information referencing it). Upon putting everything back together while I wait for the part to come in, I reran the two tests... now they pass! But I still get an E2 error code🤨. We'll see what happens, I'll try to remember to update this.

    When I run the 56 diagnostic test on my Whirlpool french door fridge, I get error code E1. No cooling. Ice Maker timed out. Ice compartment unable to reach desired temperature. Possible cooling or fan issue. Does this mean my ice maker needs replacing or is this another problem or cooling fan issue? How do I fix this? Thanks for your help.

    Easy to follow. We had an E2 but now we have an E0. Got the new ice maker installed just fine, so we thought. Keep pushing buttons and overfilling ice maker water. Replaced water filter too. Totally confused. Took about 2 hours to do because my husband had to stop and rest. Now it's around 50° in the fridge and we're not sure what to do. We can't find our paperwork. It got moved to somewhere safe.🙄

  • @Luckboy28
    @Luckboy28 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for this great video. =) I was able to replace my ice maker and now the wife is happy. =D One thing to note: I believe my model was slightly newer than the part's model, so the wiring between the two was slightly different. I ended up having to cut off the connector on the replacement part, and then splice on the connector from the old/broken unit. After that it worked great -- but it might be daunting to somebody without electrical experience.

    • @stephenmartin7907
      @stephenmartin7907 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes this is correct. Seems like the wiring harness for the new one is a little bit different.
      It did make it a bit tricky for the average person.
      I’m not sure if there is an updated part number that has the two connectors separate but this Update one will be too complicated for most people. As you had to snip wires and connect the old wiring harness that was missing from the new one.
      If the original poster of this video could update the part number that would be very helpful.

    Thank you for this video. It helped me get an answer to why ice isn’t being made. The code said bad ice make thermistor. Do you know where that thermistor is located? The tech I hired indicated it was part of the ice maker itself, but after replacing I still don’t have ice.
