You’ll also want to check the ejector blades (if they are present) for cubes jammed in them. The first things to check is that the on/off switch is in the correct position. When the icemaker module fails, the unit will not make or dispense any ice. Once this cycle is finished, the icemaker sends power to the water inlet valve to refill the mold tray with water. When the thermostat reaches 15 degrees Fahrenheit, the motor cycles to begin releasing the ice cubes. Whirlpool icemaker modules are equipped with a motor that cycles the ice ejector arms and turns the tray to dump ice cubes into the ice bin. Replace the thermostat and begin reassembling the icemaker following these steps backward.Remove the front of the icemaker head completely off – hold the eject lever in place as you do this.Remove the screws at the bottom of the icemaker head.Remove the front cover from the icemaker.Close the freezer door and place the icemaker on a suitable work surface.Disconnect the wiring harness from the icemaker.Lift the icemaker off the mounting screws.Locate the 2 mounting screws on the sidewall, don’t remove – just loosen.Reach in and lift on the shut off lever for the icemaker.Open the freezer door and remove the ice bin.If there is no continuity present, replace the thermostat. To check the thermostat you’ll need to use a multimeter to test for continuity. Upon the mold reaching the proper temperature, the icemaker ejected the cubes and refills the mold with water. The mold thermostat is important because it measures the temperature of the ice tray. Another common reason a Whirlpool fridge will stop making ice is when the icemaker mold thermostat stops functioning.
