Whirlpool IceMagic Plus not working.

I have a Whirlpool side-by-side fridge that has an IceMagic Plus icemaker that quit working. There doesn't seem to be any blockage to the icemaker and there is no water feeding to the icemaker -- does that mean the water solenoid/valve is broken? There is a switch on the icemaker that says ''normal'' or ice plus''. When it is in the ''ice plus'' position there is a whirring sound from the icemaker -- in the ''normal'' position it is quiet. Help! What do I do next?

Pour about 2/3 cup of water into the ice maker . If it dumps the ice but doesn't refill , replace the ice maker . If it doesn't dump , and the cubes stay in the ice maker , replace the ice maker .

The switch on the icemaker for normal , runs the icemaker normaly . In the ice plus , a small fan comes on , blowing the inside air , over the ice maker mold , to help it freeze faster .

Icemaker will not refill

if the water is on its probably time to change the water valve on the unit. They go bad quite often. Hope this helps.

Fridge stops running after about a day.

That is a faulty defrost system.

Test the defrost thermostat, heating coil and fan, and replace the faulty part.
the defrost system is located behind freezer firewall.

Regards.

No ice

Pour about 1/2 cup of water into icemaker . If it freezes and dumps , the water valve is bad ( where the wall water line connects to the fridge ) . If it freezes and does not dump and the ice stays in the icemaker , replace the icemaker . Also check the fill tube ( the tube going from the freezer wall to the icemaker itself ) to see if it has frozen closed . If it has , the water valve is not closing completely , and letting a drop thru and freezing in the tube . Also an indication of a bad water valve .

Ice does not come out

When an icemaker slows down , as long as the fridge AND freezer are cooling normally , it usually indicates that the coils need cleaning of dust , lint , pet hair , sand , etc...Also make sure the fan by the compressor is running to keep the compressor cool .

Water leaking from icemaker on outside

If this is your water dispenser leaking
Your water inlet valve on the back where the water supply comes in is probably leaking. disconnect the water line coming out of it and see if you have a slow drip. Try the dispenser to see if it's just drips after use.

ICE MAKER QUIT MAKING ICE ON MY WHIRLPOOL FRIDGE

I had a Whirlpool Model GD5SHAXNS in which the icemaker quit working about the same time (3 years old). I had water out the dispenser, I found that it was the icemaker itself failed not calling for water to fill it. I replaced it with a icemaker on-line for about $100 and problem fixed. I have been told his is a common problem with the icemaker in this model ref.
