Understanding the Problem
Brief explanation: The part number 10644033600 is an icemaker assembly used in some Kenmore/Whirlpool refrigerators. The assembly controls the ice harvest cycle, ejects ice into the bin, and signals the water valve to fill the mold. When it fails, you’ll see no ice, small/half-filled cubes, continuous running or leaking, or an icemaker that won’t cycle. Step-by-step diagnostic and repair instructions: 1) Confirm model compatibility and symptoms - Make sure your fridge model uses 10644033600 (check model tag inside the fridge or the old part). Note the exact symptom: no ice, partial cubes, no harvest, or leaks. 2) Basic quick checks (easy, no tools) - Check the water supply: ensure the water shutoff is open and the water line is not kinked. - Empty the ice bin and check for jammed ice or frost buildup that could block the ejector. - Verify freezer temperature: icemakers generally need 0°F to -5°F (-18°C to -20°C) to make ice reliably. 3) Run the icemaker test cycle - Locate the test button or switch on the front of the icemaker (under the thin plastic cover) or consult your service manual to put the fridge into diagnostic/test mode. - Press/hold the test button or follow the diagnostic steps until the motor runs and the fill cycle starts. Watch for the following: motor movement, heater activation (if present), and water fill. - If the motor runs and water fills, the icemaker is likely OK and the water valve or water pressure is the culprit. 4) Inspect and test the icemaker electrical/connectors - Unplug the refrigerator or shut the breaker off. - Remove the ice bin and the icemaker cover. Inspect for burned connectors, broken wires, or corrosion on the harness. - Reconnect power, put the icemaker into a test cycle, and measure voltage at the icemaker harness during the fill cycle: you should see ~120 VAC at the fill valve circuit when the icemaker requests water. If the icemaker is requesting power but the valve doesn’t open, the valve may be bad. 5) Test the icemaker module motor/thermostat/thermistor - With power off, remove the icemaker and test motor continuity per the service manual. Many modern modules don’t have user-serviceable thermostats; instead they have electronics/thermistors—if these fail, the module is replaced. - If the motor does not run in the test cycle and the module gets correct voltage, the icemaker assembly is faulty. 6) Check the water inlet valve - If the icemaker runs its harvest but no water enters the mold, the inlet valve or low water pressure is likely. Test the valve coils for continuity and verify you have at least 20–30 psi at the supply. 7) Replace the icemaker assembly (when faulty) - Tools needed: socket or nut driver set, screwdriver, multimeter, towel to catch water. - Turn off power to the fridge and shut off the water supply. - Remove the ice bin and the icemaker trim/cover. - Disconnect the icemaker wiring harness and water tube (if applicable). Be ready to catch a small water drip. - Remove the mounting screws holding the icemaker and lift it out. - Install the new 10644033600 icemaker: mount it, reconnect the water tube, plug in the harness, and replace the cover and ice bin. - Turn on water and power, then put the icemaker into the test cycle to verify it fills and harvests correctly. Expect the first cycle to take some time for the mold to fill and freeze. Ending safety note: Always disconnect power and shut off the water supply before working on refrigeration components. Use a multimeter only if you know how to measure live circuits safely. If you’re uncomfortable with electrical testing or water line work, call a qualified appliance technician.
Common Symptoms
No ice produced; ice maker doesn’t cycle; partial or small cubes; continuous filling or leaking; ice stuck in mold or ice bin.
Common Causes
- Failed icemaker module (motor, control electronics or thermostat/thermistor failure)
- No or low water supply / faulty water inlet valve
- Blocked/jammed ice mold or damaged ejector components

Helpful Repair Tip
Start with the test button/diagnostic cycle: if the icemaker runs but no water fills, the inlet valve or water supply is the issue; if it doesn’t run and it’s getting power, replace the 10644033600 assembly.
