Re: Ice maker problem whirlpool

Hi. I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. Is there any red light on the right infra red when you open the door and turn the ice maker on? If all is OK should flash but I had no light at all at any time.

A friend of mine has the same model so I borrowed the infra reds off his and tried them but made no difference. No pipes frozen.

Everything else working fine but I had an old back board from when it was replaced some years ago due to flashing lights etc.

When I put the old board back in hey presto the red light came on on the infra red and the ice maker started working fine. As I had replaced capacitors 1 and 4 on both back boards (see other threads regarding this fix-the old one and the replacement board) can only think there is maybe a relay on the back board that had become faulty on the replacement one which was OK on the old board.

I had looked on plenty of forums to try and fix the problem but this is what it was in the end.

So to sum up replaced both front and back boards some years ago but kept old back board. Replaced capacitors 1 and 4 in this and when ice maker failed tried putting the old back board in and now everything works fine fingers crossed.

Let me know if can be of any further help.
