Part #W10190935
The “Icemaker Control Assembly” (Module & Motor Assembly, Ice Maker Control Module, Icemaker Module, Refrigerator Ice Maker Module) is what controls the actions of your ice maker. The control turns the timing cams and the ejector blades. It controls most of the basic parts and functions such as the heater, water inlet valve, the cube size, and cube ejection. If your ice maker control is broken it can no longer properly control the ice maker functions. It may not produce any ice, make small ice cubes, or have intermittent operation. This can occur due to normal wear and tear. The icemaker control assembly is attached to the ice maker mold, and is under the white cover. Test the icemaker control assembly by using a multimeter. If this reveals the assembly to be defective, you will need to replace this part. It is approximately 4.25 inches square, beige, and is constructed of plastic and metal. This replacement part features one icemaker control assembly, including the control module and the motor.

How do u remove the fresh food side light lens? I have a bulb out and am trying to replace it but I can’t seem to move the light lens away to access the burned out bulb.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Chuck, thank you for the question. Based on our research, you can also replace the light bulb without removing the light shield by reaching behind the refrigerator control panel and then locating and removing the bulb. Otherwise, you may need to use a l/4'' hex-head screwdriver to remove the light shield. Please submit a new question if you have any follow-ups!
