# Kenmore ice maker repair

### About ice maker repair on a Kenmore

This job gets diagnosed in a fixed order — temperature, then water, then the machine — and that order is not a preference. It is the order of how often each turns out to be the answer. An ice maker in a compartment a few degrees too warm makes small ice, hollow ice or none, and there is nothing wrong with the ice maker. A scaled filter or a half-closed valve does the same. Only after both are eliminated does anybody talk about the module, which on Whirlpool-built and Frigidaire-built units is an inexpensive stocked assembly.

On this site the job covers refrigerators, freezers, and ice makers wearing the Kenmore badge, across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Tell us the three digits before the period on the rating plate when you book: they name the company that actually built the appliance, and on this badge that is where the diagnosis starts.

What this involves

Freezer temperature before the module

Water supply before the mechanism

The module replaced when the module is the answer

Freezer temperature first

Ice production falls off sharply as the freezer warms. A cabinet a few degrees high makes an ice maker look broken while it is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

Water arriving, and how much of it

The shut-off, the filter and the inlet valve. A saddle valve that has silted closed is a local classic and it costs nothing to check.

The fill and the harvest, watched

How much water goes in and whether the ice comes out. Which of the two fails tells us whether it is water or mechanism.

The module and its sensing

Only after the two above. On some builders this is a repairable assembly and on others it is a unit; we tell you which yours is before ordering anything.

Production measured before we leave

Counted over a period rather than judged by a full bin. A household that has grown is a real answer and we would rather give it than take a fee for it.

### The ice tastes wrong.

Almost always the filter and the water standing in the line rather than the machine, and it is the cheapest thing on this list to put right.

### It makes ice but hardly any.

Start with the freezer temperature and the water supply. Slow production is the classic signature of a restricted water path on this county's supply, and it arrives long before anything actually breaks.
