10644032603 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

My icemaker lasted about 3.5 years which appears to be longer than most. I first verified that the IR sensor blink codes were OK. Open the freezer and view the status led. Press the emitter flapper to unblock the optics beam. If the LED is on steady: The optics are working properly. If 2 BLINKS FOLLOWED BY 1 SEC. DELAY(Then repeated) The optics are faulty. Replace the emitter and receiver boards. In my case, I need to replace the icemaker. First watch the video. It will show you the hard to see screw and hidden plastic tabs to release the icemaker. Next remove power from the refrigerator. Remove the rear screw and use a flat blade screw driver for the tabs. The fill tube on on my icemaker was a bit longer than in the video so it caught on the icemaker. Carefully bend the rubber tube and the unit will slide out. The electrical connector has a release tab and may required a bit of effort to pull apart. Transfer the other parts per the video. Then reverse the procedure. This really is an easy repair and the video removes the guess work. The ordering process from PartSelect went smoothly and I received the part in 3 days. This is my second order from them and I am very satisfied.

Your directions were clear. When I took the control off the left side of the freezer compartment the resister burnt the plastic so badly that I had to pry cover loose. This may be a problem for others. Thanks from this "Do-it-yourselfer".

Removed and installed new control boards

video terrific...... could not tell on unit the type of electrical harness tab ..which showed on video and I changed quickly ....spent more time on extraneous ice.....sales rep was extremely helpful in picking the right unit...which I would not have been able to do from my model #....recived unit in two days.........

Told Wife To Watch The Instructional Movie, Got Me A Beer And Watched Football. She Finished In about Thirty Minutes.Good Job

Assumed a broken ice maker motor, since I tried to force a harvest (jumped T-H) and it did not work, and it is 6 years old. Ice maker went in easy, harvested 3 or so times and quit. Forced another harvest (with the bucket on the door, you have to remove the ice maker to jump the points (PITA)wish they could make the jump points more accessible, like on the old units, mounted on the side). worked about 5 times and quit. Next step is the optics, which, as an old computer guy I find it hard to believe that a circuit board is bad intermittently. As an aside, the door jam gets hot, when I believe it is during harvest time. I vacuumed the coils, but it still heats up... only intermittently, coincidence???

Unplugged the refridgerator and pulled the rear cover. Had to take the fan blade off in order to get at the screws holding the existing motor in place. Removed the old fan. Pressing the new plastic fan onto the new motor shaft was a little more effort than expected, but I guess it won't come off. I have large hands so mounting the new unit was a little bit of a challenge getting the small screws started. Once the three screws were tightened all I had to do is plug the electrical connector in and replace the rear cover. I was happy that the existing electrical connector was the right one for the new motor too, and that I didn't have to use the provided wire harness. All in all the repair went pretty well.

Took two screwdrivers and inserted bottom of bezel pryed up and out gently. Removed (4) screws and unpluged (3) electronic plugs removing the circuit board. After you remove bezel & circuit board you have a chance to see what you are doing and get to the problem area with more ease. Remove old parts and reverse it putting the new parts. Process is very simple just pay attention to the order everything was removed. On my frig one of the plastic ears that hold the pin which holds the spring and door was broke. The piece I needed was no longer avaliable. I had to use a piece of the plastic from the old parts I removed, drilled a hole the size of the pin in it and glued it to the broken off ear. Put everything back together and I am pleased to say that everything works fine! So you might need to go a little MacGyver on it. All in all very simple fix.

Popped the cover off took panal off to access ice door screws.Removed old parts and replaced with new kit.Works fine now.

unplugged, then removed facial trim removed the screws holding the lever and arm in place replaced the arm and spring reinstalled the screws and facial plugged back up and it worked fine part's were exact fit and i appreciate the service i could not find the color on line but your rep. did and it was correct and the shipping time was very quick thanks for the great service

I ordered a complete ice maker assembly from PartSelect. It came in within 3 days.I watched the video on the installation. It was very helpful.I removed the old ice maker and installed the new one within 15 minutes. A hour later it was working like new dumping ice. Anyone can do it. Its very easy. 100% satisfied.

removed facial then the board replaced the lever retainer and reversed process very easy when part's are correct also shipping time fantastic good job 5 stars thank you

After unplugging the microwave and removing the screw, I removed the old bulb and put in the new one!! I made sure it was in securely and the difference in the light was awesome! I use this light when I bake bread and let it rise inside the microwave, but DO NOT turn it on. The heat from this light helps the bread to rise properly!!

Saw video on whirlpool website

The ice maker was replaced easily with the help of the repair video. However, that did not fix the problem. With further investigation I found that the more common problem was the emitter boards. I replaced the new ice maker assembly with the old one and ordered the emitter boards. Partselect allow easy return of the new ice maker and I received the emitter boards and easily replaced them and ice is making as I type. Great experience and supper helpful repair videos.
