A Canton homeowner called us when their Whirlpool refrigerator’s ice maker stopped working entirely. Our technician found the icemaker coating was coming off, causing water to wick out and freeze on the housing, which prevented the ice maker from functioning.
The Problem
The customer reported that the ice maker was not working. The unit had completely stopped producing ice, leaving the family without this essential feature during the summer months.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we discovered the icemaker coating was coming off. When this happens, the water wicks out and freezes on the housing, preventing the ice maker from functioning properly.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WPW10190961 — icemaker, W10757851 — electronic control
- Work performed: Complete icemaker replacement with new electronic control
- Result: The new ice maker will work quite well
Is It Worth Repairing?
Whirlpool refrigerators are generally reliable appliances, and the ED2FHAXSL series represents solid mid-range construction. Ice maker failures are common wear items on any refrigerator, and replacing the unit typically provides years of reliable service. For a quality appliance like this Whirlpool, ice maker replacement is usually a worthwhile investment.
Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Refrigerators
- Replace water filters every 6 months to prevent mineral buildup in the ice maker system
- Clean the ice maker housing quarterly with warm water to prevent coating deterioration
- Check door seals regularly on Whirlpool side-by-side models to maintain proper temperature
