Thread: Kenmore Refrigerator Icemaker replaced but not filling with water

    Kenmore Refrigerator Icemaker replaced but not filling with water

    Model Number: 106.9515751
    Brand: Sears Kenmore
    Age: 6-10 years

    Water was overflowing in ice maker deemed defective so I replaced it.

    Now water source is turned on and available to the front water dispenser but no water has flowed into the ice maker with the arm down. I toggled shut off arm up for off and then returned to the down position for on. I haven't heard it trying to "pump" or call for water so don't know why. I see a water level in the plastic tubing stopping about a foot below the 90 degree elbow to turn into the back of the freezer. It doesn't change level or fill.

    I connected the new power cable that matched up and the motor turns to dispense ice.
    Replacement icemaker part 4317943.
    Old icemaker 106 626633.

    Is there a solenoid or valve I shouldl check somewhere?

    I usually recommend re-using the old wiring harness from the old ice maker. If the new ice maker still isn't filling with water and the freezer is getting cold enough, then you most likely have a bad water inlet valve. There is also a chance that the new ice maker is defective, but that is not very likely.

    This is the water valve for your refrigerator:
