Kenmore Refrigerator; Dishwasher Repair – Canton, OH (58714249990)

A Canton homeowner called about their Kenmore refrigerator needing a new ice maker motor and water line hooked up, plus a potential seal issue with their dishwasher. When we arrived at the 19th Street Northwest address, we found both the ice maker and water valve assembly had failed on the refrigerator, while the dishwasher had problems with the door latch and gasket.

The Problem

The customer reported that their refrigerator needs new ice maker motor and water line hooked up, though they weren’t sure about the dishwasher — possibly just a seal issue. The ice maker wasn’t producing ice, and the dishwasher door wasn’t sealing properly.

Diagnosis

The refrigerator’s ice maker had stopped working completely, and the water valve assembly was also faulty. On the dishwasher, we found that both the door latch mechanism and the door gasket needed replacement to restore proper sealing and operation.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: D7824706Q ice maker, WP67005154 water inlet valve, 5304442175 latch and gasket kit (black)
• Work performed: Replaced the water valve assembly and ice maker on the refrigerator, replaced the door latch and door gasket on the dishwasher
• Result: Both units are operating correctly

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore appliances are generally solid mid-range units worth repairing when they’re not extremely old. Ice maker and door seal repairs are common maintenance items that extend the life of these appliances significantly, making this a worthwhile investment for most homeowners.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Refrigerators and Dishwashers

• Replace refrigerator water filters every 6 months to prevent valve and ice maker clogs
• Clean dishwasher door seals monthly with mild soap to prevent premature gasket failure
• Check ice maker operation monthly — unusual noises often indicate impending motor failure
