I have a Kenmore 106.515541004. It is the same as the Whirlpool
ED5SHAXMT; the one with ice in the door. It is now 3 years old.

Last April I went on vacation and turned the water off. When I turned it
back on, the ice maker didn't work. About a week later it started up
again and ran for a few weeks before it died. After a week it ran fine
for 9 months. Now it is dead again.

Any advice? I don't use ice, but she does.


Ice makers aren't my specialty but you might have a stuck solenoid. Do have
anyway of telling if water is getting into the unit? Also, there should be a
switch to tell the icemaker it is full (so to speak) and it may be sticking
or flaky. You might excercise the switch and see if that helps.....good
luck,Ross



It's also not uncommon for the water inside the nozzle that feeds the
ice tray to freeze. When that happens you can't make ice even though
everything else is working correctly.
