Whirlpool Ice maker K40 help!!
Hi
I have replaced the cutter grid as it was broken with wires snapped I thought that would be it- Then still no pwer to grid so changed Transformer that supplies power to the cutting grid -still nothing
There is a white plastic cylinder that looks like a capacitor. this is where the power lead for the transformer comes out of as well as a live for the on/off switch- what is this and can they fail on one side (the transformer supply) while still being able to supply the on power if its not this what else can I look at for my problem to be solved
Any help gratefully received
Cheers
Matt

Have you checked for mains voltage at the transformer, and low voltage coming out? It's a while since I worked on one, but isn't what you refer to as perhaps a capacitor, actually an in-line fuse? not sure.

Check the fuse at the side of the thermostats on the back of the machine.

If that had blown wouldn't that cut power to everything?
the machine runs and freezes just no power to cutting grid
Thanks

From memory the fuse powers the transformer, i keep a box of them on the van as they can blow when the cutting grid wires break.
