This DIY repair guide explains how to replace the recirculation pump in a freestanding ice maker. The recirculation pump sends water from the reservoir over the top of the evaporator plate where ice forms. If the recirculation pump stops working, water no longer reaches the evaporator plate. Replace the recirculation pump with the manufacturer-approved freestanding ice maker part.
Use these repair steps to replace the recirculation pump in Kenmore, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, JennAir, Maytag, Frigidaire and GE freestanding ice makers.
