Possible Causes

Failed ice maker motor, stripped gear in ice maker module, jammed ejector arm, defective ice maker control module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator or turn off its breaker.

  • Inspect for jams: Remove the ice bin and look for cubes stuck in the ejector fingers or between the ice mold and bail arm. Clear any obstructions.
  • Manually advance (if possible): Some Whirlpool modules have a test point or manual advance. Follow the tech sheet to initiate a harvest test. If the motor does not run, suspect a bad motor/module.
  • Check power to ice maker: With power on (use caution), verify that the ice maker is receiving correct voltage at its connector. If no power, trace back to the refrigerator control board.
  • Replace ice maker assembly: If the motor is not running and power is present, replace the complete ice maker assembly, which includes the motor and control module.
