H0064002870A Genuine Ice Maker Water Inlet Pipe Heater for Haier Fridges, Ice Maker Fill Tube Heater, Haier 0064002870A

Part H0064002870A is a genuine Haier heater for the water inlet pipe that feeds the ice maker in Haier refrigerators. That pipe carries water from the inlet valve into the freezer, where it would freeze solid without a little warmth. If your ice maker has stopped filling and the pipe keeps icing up, this is the part to look at. Confirm the number on your existing heater, or look up your fridge model, before ordering.

Ice maker not making ice? Look for a frozen fill tube

Water reaches the ice maker through a short inlet pipe that passes into the freezer section. A small heater keeps the end of that pipe just above freezing, so each fill can flow through. When the heater fails, ice forms inside the pipe and blocks it. Typical signs are an ice maker that stops producing, small or hollow cubes, water dripping or freezing around the inlet, and the sound of the valve opening with no water arriving. Thaw the pipe first. If it freezes again within a day or two, a dead heater is the usual cause.

Replacing the inlet pipe heater

Unplug the fridge and turn off the water supply to it. Take out the ice bin and any covers to reach the inlet at the back of the ice maker area. Note how the heater is routed and where its plug connects, then fit the new one the same way. Restore water and power, and wait for the freezer to reach temperature before you judge the first batch of ice.

Questions about this part

Is this the water valve or the heater?

It is the heater for the ice maker water inlet pipe, not the solenoid valve that switches the water on. If no water reaches the pipe at all, the inlet valve or the water supply is the more likely problem.
