I have replaced the valve, icemaker and icemaker fan. I can get water from the door but no ice. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Fortunately for us, our ice maker worked once I replaced the valve. I haven't had any experience with the ice-maker not working. Maybe the line that feeds the ice-maker is frozen and plugged with a piece of ice?

My Kenmore has only an icemaker--no in-door water. (Didn't want that.) However, this part is the one Kenmore says I need. I'm worried that water will shoot out the extra holes.

And I do know that is the issue. It was the issue all along, but the repair person got paid more for putting in an icemaker. :(

I don't think water will run out the extra holes. I believe this part has two separate valves, one for water and one for ice. If there is no wiring for door water my guess would be that the second valve will never be actuated so water won't pass through it. I would take a pic or two of the old one before you remove it and make sure the new one looks the same. Then make sure you connect the new one just like the pics of the old one and I would say you should be good. At least this is how I would do it if it were mine. I wish you the best with your project.

I get water in fridge to fill glass but no water to ice maker. Can that relay that opens for water to ice maker be bad?

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 2 жыл бұрын

Sounds like it probably is Ken

What was the symptom? I suspect the solenoid failing would be more likely a problem, but if it was just a leak, probably the gasket.

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 3 ай бұрын

The symptom was no water flow to the refrigerator.

My fridge can make ice but doesnt dispense water at the door...

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 3 жыл бұрын

The fridge I replaced this water valve in has three valves. One to let the water flow to the filter. Then two separate valves, one controls the ice maker and the other controls the water dispenser in the door. Yours sounds like it's the same. I would guess the valve that sends water to your door dispenser is probably faulty. Replacing the water valves as I did in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jd55eZN5tLDDcYE.html will probably fix your problem. (just a guess, I'm not an expert)

DIY Homestead Projects thanks i just bought my house 2 months ago and the fridge was already here. So i will have a crack at swapping the valves! Thanks!

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 3 жыл бұрын

That's the same situation with my refrigerator. The new valve solved it in my situation. I hope it works for yours too!

It'd be nice if someone sold the gasket.

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 2 жыл бұрын

Yes it would.

@gac914 3 жыл бұрын

Another dumb college-boy/girl-engineering experience! You'd think they'd make that gasket out of nylon or silicone -- something that wouldn't deteriorate that severely! How did anyone figure that cheap rubber moving up & down that much would last, (of course, the cost-per-unit by using that material helped their profit margin, for sure!!)

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 3 жыл бұрын

That gasket could definitely be made from a more appropriate material. Unfortunately they don't make things to last these days. They want us to "buy, use, throw away and buy again". I will give credit where credit is due, this fridge is 10 years old but I just acquired it. I don't know how many years it hasn't been working. We'll see how many more years it lasts. 😄

@nastynotch8314 3 жыл бұрын

How long did it last? They normally last 10-15 yrs. early wear isn’t from the manufacturers fault, that’s the city waters fault. What are they putting in the water? That’s a little further than your college boy learning. 😉
