Easy repair.
I received the replacement part quickly. Removal of the old part required removing one small screw and unsnapping a wiring connection. The new replacement part fit perfectly and corrected the problem. Very happy with the outcome.

Extremely Simple Freestanding Icemaker Repair
The ice bin thermometer (thermistor) arrived promptly and was identical to the faulty part. The entire "fix" took less than 10 minutes from opening the box to restarting the appliance. I read a couple of suggestions by PartSelect experts before the part arrived and the installation went just as they described it.

My ice machine now stops making Ics when its full
The part was exactly what I needed to get my ice machine operating properly again. The old part failed and would no longer send the signal that my ice bin was full. Unless you turned the machine off it would continue making ice. This part is simple to replace, just pop off the cover for access unplug the old one and install the new one. There is also one screw that holds it in place tighten it and snap the cover back on and you will be done

Very easy installation.
Tools needed: - 1/4 inch nut driver or socket & ratchet (or wrench... depending on what you have available.) - Optional: Flashlight and mirror

Read morehe nut driver to remove the screw holding the thermistor in place against the wall of the ice bin. 4 - I used the flashlight and mirror to confirm the placement of the connector. 5 - Used my index finger to depress the locking clip and gently pulled the connector downward. 6 - I attached the new thermistor to the ice bin wall using the nut driver. 7 - I threaded the connector up to the control board and pushed it into place. (This step was the most difficult for me... I had to use the mirror to confirm that I was properly aligned.) 8 - Turned on the power (and shut off the "FAST ICE" option -- may not be available on all ice maker models). 9 - I scooped out a gallon of ice for my tea maker. 10 - A few hours I checked the bin level to confirm that the ice maker was behaving.
All in all, a very simple repair and certainly beats paying someone $200 or $300 for a five minute job.

Hello,I have a Maytag ice maker model # mim1555zrs0, it won't stop making ice. I cleaned the thermostat but it didn't solve the problem. Should I replace the thermostat? Part # wpw10511923 ?? Thanks
For model number M1M1555ZRS0
Hi Mike, Thank you for the question. I suggest replacing the thermostat first and if this does not fix the issue you may need to replace the Water Inlet Valve,PartSelect Number: PS11738179. Hope this helps!

ICEMACHINE MAKING TOO MUCH ICE. FROM ANSWERS FROM OTHERS SOUNDS LIKE THERMISTOR IS BAD.WHERE IS THERMISTR AND HOW DOES ONE CHANGE IT
For model number KUIC15PHZS0
Hello Ron, Thank you for the question. The Thermistor is also called the Bin Temperature Sensor. You will need to pull the white cover off from the front of the machine. Remove the screw that holds the thermistor in place and unplug the plastic connector and reverse the steps to install. We hope this helps!

How to replace the thermistor in a self standing ice maker
Hello Cheryl, thank you for your question. Once you locate the thermistor, it would simply unplug from the wire harness and the new thermistor would plug in and be remounted into its holder. If you would like to know where this part is located in your model, please resubmit a new question with the model number information. I hope this helps!

My 6 yr old Kitchen Aid ice maker stopped making ice. Ice plate gets frosty but the recirculation pump is not circulating water. I replaced the pump and that didn’t help, because the pump never gets the signal to start pumping water. Visual inspection of wire harness inside icebox looks good. The unit beeps every two minutes like it’s sending a start signal to the pump but the pump never cycles on. Any ideas on what and how to troubleshoot next?
For model number KUID508ESS1
Hi Rodney, thank you for reaching out. We have narrowed the issue down to the following parts: the water inlet valve, part number PS11765823, the water filter, part number PS8759230, the temperature sensor, part number PS11755842, and the control board, part number PS12346592. We hope this helps!
Our unit is not making ice. Water is running over the freeze plate but not freezing. Runs a clean cycle normally. It almost seems to be stuck in the defrost cycle to drop the ice on the wire cutters.
For model number KUIC18NNZS0
Hi Matt,
Thank you for your question. If the evaporator chill plate and heat exchanger is not making ice, check to make sure the compressor is coming on. If the compressor is running the issue may be with the sealed system and it will need to be checked by an appliance repairperson. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Ice maker is not making ice
For model number KUIX305ESS1
Hi Cecil, thank you for the question. We would recommend checking the water tubes and the filter for clogging. If these are not the issues, then we would recommend checking the water inlet valve, part number PS11765823, to fix the issue. Glad to be of help!
Our kitchenaid undercounter ice maker Mod. KUIC15NRTS2 builds up too much ice, makes a grinding noise and then floods the floor with water. Turning it off stops the flooding. Removing the ice and restarting lets it operate normally for a day or two, then it repeats the cycle again. The drain is not stopped up. Ran it through the cleaning cycle but it didn’t help. The ice sensor thermistor measures around 32K ohms when placed in a glass of ice water. What should the value be? Any suggestions for the next checkout step sequence or what the most probable cause of the problem might be? Thanks for your help.
For model number KUIC15NRTS2
Hi Harry, thank you for reaching out. The thermistor should read 7.4K Ohms or less at temperatures greater than 37°F (bin is empty), and a resistance of 7.6K Ohms or more at temperatures lower than 37°F (bin is full). The thermistor, part number PS11755741, is a potential cause of failure and needs to be replaced. We hope this helps, good luck with the repair!
For some reason i can not find an owners manual to download. I am trying to replace the thermistor in the ice bin which should be a simple task if i could just find a manual to tell me how to disassemble the plastic in the front of the bin!
