I have a Whirlpool fridge freezer with an ice maker. The water dispenser is not dispensing water and the ice maker dispenser is not dispensing ice. I think the ice is still being made inside the machine. Any ideas what the problem is?
I managed a repair center for appliances, and in this situation it sounds like you may have a clogged water line feeding the ice maker, or it could also be a blocked filter. Have you changed it lately? Only other item I can think of is if you had moved the refrigerator lately and possibly crimped the line by trying to see what was the problem, so you can check to see if any of the above will help you, other than that it would be a repair man unless you can get one to tell you what OTHER items to possibly check, hope this helps you!

I have a Whirlpool Conquest side by side fridge. The ice maker just quit on me. The water still dispenses from the door. What should I try doing?

This happened to me several years ago and they had to replace what they called a dole valve. (05/10/2008)

Check the arm to see if its raised or lowered. With summertime approaching, don't forget to change your water filter also. A clogged refrigerator - ice maker water filter can reduce the water pressure so much that the water valve will not function properly in the ice maker. The intake water line could also be frozen where it enters the freezer area causing a blockage.

I replaced my Whirlpool ice maker with the proper replacement. When I plug it in, I do not think it is getting any power. I used the cable that came with the new one, and even swapped out the old cable, which fit perfectly. But I don't think I have power to the ice maker. The ice maker model is IM943, 4317943 also is the replacement number.

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. (08/07/2007)
