I have Kenmore Coldspot(1995 model) The ice maker(106-626636) just started dropping water( a gallon before I shut it off).Is that a gasket or do I need to replace entire device?

Model 10651773510 Kenmore Elite REFRIGERATOR Parts


There is a section on ice makers that wont make ice.

If the water is coming from the ice maker and you are sure then the=> Kenmore Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve W10408179 Is defective and will need to be replaced. Turn the water off going to the refrigerator behind the refrigerator that will stop the water until the dual water control valve is replaced.
APPLIANCE 911

The water supply solenoid valve may be malfunctioning or the fill tube to the icemaker may be mis-positioned.

The thermostat on the ice maker is out you will need to replace the whole ice maker assembly

If you can hear the auger motor turn, you may have a large chunk of ice in the hopper.

Does it have automatic ice cube maker not hooked up to water? If you do make sure thin stainless bar isn't straight down. on the side of ice maker.

could be your ice maker or your water valve

hi LOP7,
In most cases you can easily solve this problem.
step one would be to make sure your freezer is getting cold enough. If you have icecream in your freezer is it frozen solid or is it soft. Most icemakers cycle around 0 degrees and if your freezer is not getting to 0 then it will not cycle and it will not make ice.
Step two would be to make sure you icemake is cycling. To do this simply lift the little shut off arm on your icemaker and wait about an hour then go back to the icemaker and drop the arm down. The icemaker should start going through a cycle. You should notice the arm slowly begin to raise and the ice dispencer fingers will begin to turn. Then you will hear it call for water. You may hear a humm.
If the freezer is cold enough and the icemaker is cycling that only leaves the inlet valve. replace the valve and enjoy the ice.
If the freezer is cold enought and the icemaker does not cycle, then you have a bad icemaker. Simply replace the icemaker and viola.
Third if the freezer is not cold enought 0 defrees. Then you may have a defrost problem. In this case post more info and I will be happy to help. Good luck [email protected]

The ice maker tells the water valve when to send the water on up. Replace the ice maker! goodluck!!!
