Ice Maker Won't Drop Ice




By gregcicc on May 02, 2008

" "
I have a Whirlpool side by side refrigerator with a new ice maker. The ice maker works fine but will not drop the ice. If I cycle the arm off/on (up/down) then it dumps the ice a few minutes later. Otherwise, the ice just sits in the tray. The ice maker is Whirlpool #4317943. Any suggestions on why it won't drop the ice or what to test?

- Installed a replacement unit. Now this unit won't fill with water. There are no blockages in the feed tube. Any thoughts? Thanks

-   i have the same problem only in reverse. i had a cube stuck and the icemake stayed running. after removing the cube it no longer would fill with water. the module was burned out. i replaced the icemake, it filled, froze, dropped the cubes, filled, froze, and will not drop ay more cubes. i removed it 5 times and thawed and it does the same thing eveytime. it only drops the 1st set of cubes. the lights stays solid not blocked but goes out when the freeze light goes off.-   sstauss
