Whirlpool fridge model GX5FHTXVY09 IceMaker just stopped.


Recommended Posts

Hello, people.
French doors fridge on top, drawer freezer on the bottom.
The water dispenser (in the fridge) still works well.
The icemaker worked for years, now just plain ol' quit.  Stopped producing ice.
I removed the icemaker, left it out for 24 hours, reinstalled it.
A day later, there Is ice in the icemaker, but it was not ejected.
Already went thru the Whirlpool "Troubleshooter" simple problems/solutions.  No help there.

In other posts here, I've read about "error codes".  
How do I get information about that for this model?
And/Or: where can I get the Tech Sheet for this?
Does that include a Wiring Diagram?
Are there certain terminals that a voltmeter can test?

Any helpful advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Really?  No replies?  Well, Darn. . . that's disappointing.

Check your temps where the ice maker is at. Sounds like the thermostat in icemaker is bad, thermistor in freezer is bad causing freezer not to get cold enough or another issue. I would check temps first by putting a thermocouple between a bag of veggies or similar to get an accurate reading. Could also have an intermittent ice maker motor.

Thanks, Nathaniel, for the reply.
As the Icemaker Cycling Thermostat is less expensive than the entire icemaker, I'll try that.

Personally I’d cycle ice maker and see if it can eject the ice. If no, you have bad mold heater or motor. 
 

In my experience on these machines it usually the heater not working.

Only if it passes temp checks.
