Understanding the Problem
The KTPR22EKWH02 is the ice maker assembly used in certain KitchenAid refrigerators. When the ice maker fails it can stop producing ice altogether, produce small or hollow cubes, overflow with water, or cycle continuously. Replacing the ice maker assembly is a common repair when the unit's internal motor/module or water fill mechanism has failed. Before replacing the assembly, rule out related issues like a frozen fill tube, a faulty water inlet valve, blocked water filter, or incorrect fridge/freezer temperature. If the ice maker does not respond to a manual harvest/diagnostic cycle or shows no power at the ice maker harness while other refrigerator functions work, the ice maker assembly (KTPR22EKWH02) is likely at fault and should be replaced.
Common Symptoms
No ice production, small or hollow ice cubes, continuous water fill or overflow, ice maker motor not running, unit fails to step through harvest cycle.
Common Causes
- Failed ice maker motor/module inside the KTPR22EKWH02 assembly
- Faulty or clogged water inlet valve or blocked water filter preventing proper fill
- Frozen/blocked water fill tube, ice buildup, or wiring/harness issues preventing power to the ice maker

Helpful Repair Tip
To confirm the ice maker is bad, put the fridge into diagnostic/harvest mode (consult your model's tech sheet) and verify the ice maker does not cycle or the fill valve does not open when commanded. Also check for 120 VAC (or the expected harness voltage) at the ice maker connector with a multimeter before ordering the part.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I replace the KTPR22EKWH02 ice maker?
Unplug the refrigerator or shut off power. Remove items from the freezer and the ice bucket. Remove the ice maker cover/panel and disconnect the ice maker harness. Unscrew the mounting screws and slide out the old ice maker. Install the new KTPR22EKWH02 by reversing the steps: mount, reconnect the harness, replace the cover and ice bin, then restore power and run a diagnostic/harvest cycle to confirm operation.
Can I repair the ice maker instead of replacing the whole assembly?
Sometimes minor issues (like a stuck fill tube or debris in the mold) can be cleared without full replacement, but motor/module failures, damaged ejector gears, or electronic/control faults usually require replacing the entire ice maker assembly. If the unit has no power at the connector or the water inlet valve is faulty, address those parts first before replacing the ice maker.
