Not dispencing ice
YOU WILL NEED TO CHECK FIRST FOR WATER IN THE MOLD OF ICE MAKER(WHERE CUBES ARE MADE). THEN MAKE SURE THE LEVER THAT TELLS WHE THE ICE MAKER IS IN THE DOWN POSITION
The water isnt getting thru to the icemaker, i
Hello,
Does water dispense through the dispenser ok in the door dispenser??
If yes wate r dispenses through the door ok the problem is going to be with the icemaker itself and its not sending power to the water valve when its supposed to fill so it could make the ice
If water doesnt dispense through the door check that water pressure into valve is sufficent..even if water does dispense what seems to be ok check first that thier is good water pressure into the valve before replacing icemaker

How do you get door dispenser out
I would get a refrigerator or white goods expert to come and look at it because any thing like that is best left to the experts/ tech's
Thanks, I am serarhing for the part that allows
Same thing happened to me. Ice built up on your door keeping it from opening completely. The motor stripped a gear when pressing the door against the ice. You have to either replace the motor or the whole door unit depending on which is available. I have not found the part yet.
The icemaker on whirlpool elite is not filling with water
There is a solenoid valve that operates when the ice maker cam rotates and operates a micro switch or a smart chip to open this valve allowing water to flow into the ice maker. This cam or smart switch times the water flow to allow just enough water to fill the tray and then allows the solenoid to close. (a solenoid is just an electro-magnetic plunger) Your solenoid may be bad or the water line may have an ice plug in the part of the hose that goes into the ice maker.(This can happen if your freezer is turned up too high and your water line freezes) Also the smart chip (controller) may be bad. You can use the old hair dryer trick to try and unfreeze the line, but if your controller has gone south, then the circuit board has to be replaced. You can go to http://www.whirlpool.com/manuals/ and input your model number and get a manual for the machine. If you are a competent DIY person, you may be able to repair it your self.
Water keeps leaking after power is disconnected
Is the condensation tray overflowing? Is water collecting in the bottom of it? Is it seeping out of the cabinet? Or is it dripping from the water dispenser? With no indication of where it's leaking from, how much water and for how long it leaks, there's a large number of possibilities.
Dripping from the water dispenser is almost certainly a bad solenoid valve, the rubber diaphragm is worn, sediment has collected on the seat or the spring is fatigued.
Water and/or ice collecting in the bottom means the condensate drain is plugged, best thing to clean it with is a short piece of 1/8" woven steel cable, sometimes called wire rope. Gently push it down the drain hole inside the box a few times and flush with soapy warm water.
If the condensation tray is overflowing and you live in a humid area it may be normal to have to empty it periodically. It may also be an indication of a door seal leak.
If it's seeping from the cabinet, it likely indicates soaked insulation, which is a serious efficiency problem. It's usually caused by an interior crack in the lining. Water is a conductor, so its presence in the insulation layer reduces its effectiveness.
If none of these fit your case, please provide more details.
Changed the bulb and the et18nk refrigerator lights are not working
This may sound silly but have you checked the doors? there is normally a button @ the door frame. When the door is closed the button is pressed in thus turning the light off. when the door is open the button pops out and on comes the light. Check this out, Look for the button, when you find it try pushing it in a few times.If it is stuck in get a tweezers & pull it out gently. A drop of oil rubbed around the button may help ease it. the button is spring loaded so it should loosen up after a while. Best of luck.
