Ice-maker tray wouldn't empty properly, so water spilled out of it and froze pieces of ice together, making a big glob of ice in the holding vessel for ice pieces.

Removed and replaced the old tray, which had lost its elasticity and wasn't emptying properly. This couldn't have been easier.
Several years ago, we had the same problem, so I called a repair service and paid a dude about $85 to diagnose the cause and correct it. This time, based on observing that prior repairman, I ordered th e replacement part for about $25, from this outfit, and repaired the fridge in less time (including time online) than previously spent finding a repair service and dealing with it.

Found a replacement knob that was discontinued
5 of 10 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Lucille from Philadelphia, PA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
I needed Whirlpool part #1167617 but it is discontinued. Also Canada Whirlpool will not deliver it to the US, and Home depot parts doesn't have it. They told me to Google it. After Googling the part number a few times, it brought me to this site and showed me a picture of the knob on an inch graph. I'd already measured the actual hole on my part. After speaking to a customer service person who said I could return the part if it didn't fit, I ordered. It was delivered in two days and fit like a glove. So if you still have this older unit air conditioner that still works and you want to use it a little longer, PartSelect knob #BT3075631 will replace Whirlpool knob part #1167617. Cosmetically, it's a little bigger on the outside but fits and works nicely.

Broken knob

I accidently broke the knob on our air conditioner. I unplugged the unit and removed the broken pieces and made sure that the actual on-off switch was not broken. Ordered the part from PartSelect.com and in three days had my replacement knob, opened the package and installed the new knob, and turned on the air conditioner. This was the fa stest and easiest repair ever.

Ice maker working with no production of ice
2 of 2 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Paul from East Northport, NY
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Socket set, Wrench (Adjustable)
Turn off the water source and unplug freezer. Remove copper tube and then remove valve from back of refrigerator. Disconnect plastic tube and power connection. Mark power connection plug top with a "T", this reminder helps with the new valve. Plug power and plastic tube into new valve and screw assembly back into refrigerator. Using a wrench, connect copper tube into valve. Restore water source and plug back in in freezer. Within a couple hours, ice production was back.
Like the other repair stories (that helped me), this job was very easy.

Replaced the water valve. I knew that the ice maker was working by watching the movement. It was not getting water to it, s I figured it was the electric water valve and sure enough, that fixed the problem.

We have a place that has window units of heat and A/C. In Dec. my business partner went down and called that the unit would not turn on, I told him to check the breakers and plug but he had no idea what I was saying. Another couple went to the unit and they had the same problem. I went down, checked the plug and breakers, found no problem , I turned the knob and nothing moved, I pulled the knob and found it cracked and broken. I put plyers to it and turned it on. I ordered the knob from you on line , got it in two days , heater fixed.

We would come home from wintering in Texas and the ice maker would again work for about a week. Decided to replace the valve because it wasn't expensive.
