Hi,

here are some solution for the ice maker problem,

Do you have the icemaker turned on? The wire along the right side of the icemaker should be lowered as far as it goes. If this is in a raised position, your icemaker is off and the icemaker will not make any ice. Some units allow you to lower the wire to turn the icemaker on. Some models require you to lower a red plastic lever to lower the wire. If the icemaker wire is in the correct position, check the freezer temperature. It should be somewhere between 0 and 8 degrees Fahrenheit. If it gets above 10 to 12 degrees, your icemaker may not work.
A newly installed icemaker may not work until the ice mold temperature has dropped to about 15F - 16F degrees. So, if you just installed it, give it some time to cool down first. It may take up to 24 hours for a newly installed icemaker to start working initially. If you have just added a water line to the refrigerator, it may take up to about an hour and a half for the icemaker to start working. Also, a newly installed water line may have air in the line. It can sometimes take a few icemaking cycles to clear the line of air.
Make sure that there is water flowing to the icemaker. Check for kinks in the tubing, for frozen areas of the water tube, and that the household water supply is turned on. Sometimes the water inlet valve can go bad. If there is water in the icemaker, but it's not freezing, use a freezer thermometer to verify that the temperature is cold enough for it to freeze.
Make sure the copper supply line to the refrigerator is turned on under the sink, or coming from the basement.
If the freezer is cold enough, and the icemaker still won't make cubes, feel the bottom of the icemaker unit. If it is hot or warm, it is possible that the little heating element that turns on to melt the bottom of the cubes so that they can be released and harvested by the ejector blades is stuck on. You will probably have to replace the control module in this case.

I would call the manufacture or there should be instructions to check if you have power. The covering in the front of the ice maker can be removed and there should be a few little holes that are labeled either by numbers or letters. You'll need a heavy gauge wire to check to see if you have power. Please follow the instructions or call Whirlpool to use this way of checking for power.

You may want to look at the ice holder or bucket if there are ice made. Otherwise you may want to check on the end of the water hose if there is water coming out it may be blocked. From the ice holder it should be pushed out for you to get the ice. Check if there are ice formations of the mechanisms. I suggest to have the ice melted and have it cleaned to see if you need to replace it or the ice may just be preventing the movements.

There are also error codes in some models below are additional info you may use.

Open the freezer and view the status led
For the status LED:

2 BLINKS FOLLOWED BY 1 SEC. DELAY(REPEATED) - The flapper door on the emitter may be blocking the beam or the optics are faultly. Press the emitter flapper to unblock the optics beam

2 BLINKS FOLLOWED BY 1 SEC. DELAY(REPEATED) - The optics are faulty. Replace the emitter and receiver boards.

Icemaker zdic150

If water is still flowing even though the power is disconnected from the valve, the valve is faulty. Even new parts can be bad. If you have a lot of sediment in your water this can cause a lot of watervalve problems. I have seen people hook the water-line to the hot water supply using the waterheater as a settling tank.

Adjustable icemaker not making ice

Note that the temperature in the freezer must be below 10 degrees F for the icemaker to cycle. The icemaker line is the smaller line (1/4") located in the back of the machine that runs from the valve to the filll tube. To test the valve and icemaker you have to manually advance the ice maker and wait for it to call for water with the 1/4" line disconnected from the valve. You can do this by getting a jumper wire, removing the cover of icemaker, which you jsut grab and pull off, and using the jumper wire insert one end of the wire into the cirle marked "M" and the other in the cicle marked "N". Leave there until you hear a click and sometimes see a little spark behind the modular head wheel. Also if you see ice in the maker that hasn't dumper and the teeth of the icemaker are facing any direction other than two o clock position, the icemaker is bad. Before doing any of the above though check the fill tube to be sure the no ice is blocking water from coming in.

Water overfills icemaker. Won't shut off properly

Good day,
There is a micro switch in the ice maker that turns on the water valve for approx. 7 seconds, and then closes it.
If the valve is hanging open, even though receiving no input from the ice maker then the water valve needs replaced.

Ice cubes stick together as though too much water is coming into tray. Is there a valve or something to control amount of water coming in?

yes their is a water valve , 2 things it could be your valve or you i/m. the i/m tells the water valve to fill for about 6-9 seconds if the icemaker is bad it could be telling it to fill for 10 seconds instead of the normal time and overflow the icemaker ,or the water valve also called solenoid could be bad and at not stopping at the desighned time. i dont have your model # to go much furthur but you can remove the cover in the front of the icemaker and see if you see an icemaker water level adjustment screw, newer ge and frigidaire ref. cannot be adjusted, however wpl, maytag, and older ge ref can be and older frg.try adjusting water level at icemaker first .

Water will not come into the ice maker and the filter needs changing. Even though the filter needed changing before, water has never stopped coming into the ice maker. The line seems to be clear. Any...

Replace the water inlet valve after making sure the tube which fills the icemaker is not frozen . If it is , replace the valve anyway . The valve is the piece which connects to the line to the wall on fridge .

Icemaker does not work

Does your unit have the cube size selection button inside of the ice maker door , if so is it lit up, if so is it on a cube selection. If not that is the reason the ice maker is not working because even though the unit is on the cube selection has not been made. This should solve your problem.
