Question about Whirlpool GS6NBEXR Side by Side Refrigerator
This unit has the ice bin in the door and the optic sensors to determin if the bin is full.I have followed the trouble shooting chart which was included with the unit and discovered that by unplugging the refigerator and plugging it back in the ice maker will cycle one to two times and then stop again. I suspect there is something wrong with the optic sensors but want to be sure of the correct parts to purchase. How can I fool the sensor to prove this part is dective? Are there steps that can be taken to troubleshoot the problem more completly?
Home repair, When you open the freezer door the lED on the right should flash 2 times with a pause repeatedly. If you hold the left side emmitter flap down, the LED should stay lit. If you have this, the optics are ok. The ejector blades should be parked in the 2:00 position when homed. You didn't say what the problem is but if it cycles, you should be filling. I would check out the fill spout first and make sure it is not frozen shut. If that is ok, I would suspect the inlet valve. Catriver.

Hello
I have a gd5rhaxnq00 whirlppol side by side ref. and it stopped making ice. I lifted out the ice box to empty the ice into a bowl and since then it doesnt make ice or fill with ice, i checked the black hose and it doesnt appear to be frozen? the water on the door works fine and the ice button all seem to be good, I do notice however that when I open the freezer door the RED light blinks 2 times, cont. then when I close the flap it stays solid RED??? any ideas to get this working?

Usually answered in minutes!
The sensor indicated defective and I ordered the emiter and reciever boards.
Boards shopuld arrive in a few days
Tested the sensor and it is working correctly. Can you describe:
How to test to see if the fill spout is frozen/ and a fix?
How to test the "internal plumbing" that fills the cube tray.
The water through the door is working, but the cube tray isn't filling at all.
Not Making Ice, Bin has ice make but wont dump. Checked infrared light. When opening door, red light repeats patteren of two blink. When I hold left side reflector in, blinking light on right of door goes out and remains out as long as I hold the spring loaded reflector tab in.
