2ET18NMXJW00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

just poped it in

Watched the video on the Partsselect how to remove and install the icemaker. It made the job real easy to do. It took about 20 minutes to exchange it out. It took me about a extra 30 minutes to remove the water line to the icemaker and install a in-line filter. The water froz up where it pours into the icemaker. Ran some hot water through the line, reinstalled the line and everything works great now for over a week. Just a extra tip always check the water line to make sure Its clear. George Fontana CA

First I read your trouble shooting guide and determanded it was the ice maker. Then I watched your repair video which was very helpfull. I ordered the new icemaker, When it arrived I installed per video using only a 1/4 inch nut driver. IT was esay. New ice maker works great.Thank You for the information you have online and the parts and service.

Easy.... Video made replacment very smooth. I only needed one tool a nuy driver.

This is an easy fix, simply remove and replace. What I was impressed with is that a how to video was provided along with my part. I wish all manufactures would offer this, the video was easy to understand and you had a good view of the operation. Thanks, a job well done.

The repair was easy. I wish I would have had a nutdriver; that would have made it extremely easy and a lot faster. I used a small wrench to take out the old ice maker. The new one went in easy. The arm was easy to move from the old ice maker to the new one, but it was a bit snug. We had to manually push the arm down a few times for the icemaker to dump the ice. After about 5 batches or so, it began to work on its own and now we have a full tub of ice (for the first time in two years). This was certainly time and money well-spent. Any one can do it!

The ice maker installation video was a life saver. Thank you. Followed video instructions and removal of old unit and installation of new unit took almost no time. Again thank you for the excellent video.

We changed the valves first to try it and then we changed the ice maker. That worked. Thank you nephew for helping me.

Sorry for delay in writing. Part I ordered arrived two days ago and it was exactly what I needed. Knowing that there will be problems even with the smallest job I procrastinated starting. When I did start this morning I foud I had to completely remove the ice maker and disassemble it in order to install the water fill cup bracket. The challenge was reassembling the unit. Not hard for an experienced repairman but a challenge for layman. Everything is thing is back to gether now and power on cooling down the refrigerator. Won't know how successful it was until turn on water and ice is formed. If it works this saved $75 just to get a Sears repairman to come out and tell me what would be needed to fix the refrigerator and $1,000 if I had to buy a new refrigerator. Extremely satisfied with service I received. Thank you.

While removing the old Ice Maker, by looking at the new one, I observed that the old one had Ice frozen in the path of the water flow. After I removed the ice, using a hair dryer, I reassembled the old part and it has worked fine ever since. I have a spare Ice Maker now.

The replacement part (new ice maker unit) orked perfectly fter insstall. The "Part Select" video on how to replace this unit was extremely helpful and actually convinced me to try it myself. I took the old unit out and just reversed the process and installed the new, replacement unit. Worked fine and wroks fine. (Note: it did take a full 24 hours or a little longer to actually start making ice. I think the ater supply drains off and takes a while to get back into the ice maker.)

exactly as shown on the video and it was completed in less than 10 minutes with only a nutdriver; took wife to dinner with the money saved and returned to find ice in bin without the "iceberg" from the prior leak! Thanks for the great parts selection, clear description of problems to help select correct fix and most of all the "how-to" video. I'm a customer for life ! WSD

Ordered the part and within 8 minutes I had installed it without having to use any of the included wire harnesses. Was making ice within six hours. If you take your time before, review the handy video PartSelect provides online and prepare the work space it should be a snap. I can't say enough good things about the swift delivery and usefulness of the part. Also, best price I could find after shopping competitors. I highly recommend this project, it was easy and should make using your otherwise working refrigerator more enjoyable.

Watched the 'self-help' video on your website. Loosened the 3 sheetmetal screws,loosened the icemaker, unplugged the single connector and did the reverse order with the new icemaker. Very, very easy.

Looked up the refrigerator model number, found parts break down and ordered wheel assy...thought it was the wrong but wheel size was right...read the instructions (good thing) and found out you had to slide entire bottom panel out 1/2 inch to access a hidden pin...did as the instructions said, slid out the bottom panel, found pin as advertised, removed pin, broken part fell out, replaced the wheel assembly, repinned, slid the bottom panel in (a bit more harder than getting it out), replaced all screws and was completed in about 40 -50 minutes. Good thing it came with instructions!!
