W11284458 Installed but No Ice: Record the Startup Conditions
No ice immediately after replacement does not distinguish a startup delay from an installation or supply problem. For W11284458, use the refrigerator's own instructions to establish the expected restart sequence; there is no single waiting period that proves every installation good or bad.
Establish the starting point
Record when power and water were restored, whether the refrigerator had warmed during the repair, and whether the ice-maker setting is enabled. Confirm the water supply was reopened and the bin is correctly positioned using the owner's manual. These checks do not require disassembling a powered ice maker.
Keep a simple timeline of observed changes rather than repeatedly cycling the power. Note whether any ice appears, whether cubes are small, and whether water is visible where it should not be. A leak calls for stopping the ice system and shutting off water, not waiting longer.
Compare the result with the original complaint
Was the old assembly failing to fill, failing to release ice or producing poor cubes? If the new assembly shows the same pattern, an upstream water, temperature or control issue may still need diagnosis. Do not assume the replacement is defective solely because the symptom persists.
Prepare the follow-up
Give support the full model, original and replacement labels, installation time and the observed timeline. Have the installer review application, connector seating and water-entry alignment with power disconnected.
If the model's documented startup period passes without production, arrange diagnosis instead of using undocumented reset or terminal-jumper procedures. A useful repair outcome is normal, leak-free production under the specified operating conditions, rather than one successful test cycle alone.
Product reference
Compare the W11284458 listing and product photographs with the complete appliance model before ordering. A symptom or similar appearance alone does not establish compatibility.
