ECKMF94 Whirlpool Ice Maker - Instructions

Straight forward.Vey easy to do

I found the part I needed at parts select and followed the video on their web site. They have a very informative web site, it made my job easy. I highly recommend this company.

Top left mounted Icemaker facing front. Disconnect power to fridge. Using 1/4" nut driver remove single silver nut under right rear side. It holds a plastic cover over the electrical connection, unhook the cover and remove it. Release clips under front lip under both sides and entire icemaker will slip and twist out. Remove electrical connection to ice tray. Place assembly on bench and remove 3- 1/4 hex screws from under side to release bottom tray. Snap cover off motor and remove. Carefully align pin and arm on control assembly to ice tray and-re assemble. May take 30 min to dispense. Discard till clear.

We thought that the problem was with the inlet valve, perhaps dispensing too much water and causing the overflow that caused the leak. Installation of the valve was easy, but it didn't fix the leak. After some more tinkering, we discovered that the problem was that the ice maker itself had gotten out of kilter, that the rear part was tilted down too far and was causing the overflow that created the icicle. The rear part of the unit needed to be raised by adjusting the rear screw that attaches the ice maker to the refrigerator. Easy to fix that, and so far, no more leak. It didn't hurt, though, to get a new valve and be forced to clean out the back of the fridge, as well as replace the copper water inlet tube with a plastic one.

Simply done !

Very easy to replace. Disconnect water line. remove 2 screws pull out filler tube. replace with new one.

I order the suspect part before pulling out the ice tray and whole ice maker for inspection. As it turns out my ice tray was peeling and all gunked up and I needed a new one. I suggest in the case of ice maker issues that you pull the entire ice maker before ordering what appears to be the troubled part. I had to replace the whole ice maker which was not really that much more money than just the part.

I cut the plugs off and bought male and female wire conectors and crimped them on the wires and pluged them together.

I saw the question listed on your website with your recommended part to repair. Instead of ordering a whole new ice maker I took the chance and ordered the recommended part for repair. I saw the video and when the part came it was really easy to replace. I only wish I had found your website earlier and not gone without ice for as long as I did. Thanks.

I watched your youtube repairman twice. the video was very good concerning how to do the replacement.Thank you very much this is a lifesaver for people like myself that can not afford a repair person to fix broken items at the house.

My ice maker stopped producing ice after our refridgerator was accidently turned off for 4 days. Note: the on off switch in the front does turn the unit off even though the light stays on, why we need easy access to turn off the fridge is beyond me. Regardless, I spent way more time researching the problem then doing the repair. There is 2 things that could be wrong: 1 was the infra red light located on either side of the freezer, called the transmitter/reciever. 2 was the side of the ice maker control panel. Either one or if I had to replace both it would of been less then the cost of a repair man to come to my home. Prices here a good. I started with learning the diagnostic of the ice make which is learned by watching the red light flash. That informed me that it was working ok. Reference: if you hold back the hinged plate and pretend the door is shut the light should flash, flash, pause. This means its working. I went with the other route of the control module on the ice maker. This part came fast like 2 days. I watched the video on the parts web page and it was simple to do. You do have to wait until the temp goes down below 15 degrees in order for the ice maker to kick in. I won't buy another kenmore for I have had plenty of trouble with this one and its bearly 6 years old. I'm Definetly a fan of this website. Good luck DIY ers!

I looked on line to see repair instruction videos on my refrigerator ice maker. When I saw how easy I went to PartSelect and order the part (control and motor assembly). I received the part in two days with the cheapest shipping option. My 33 yr old son was visiting when the delivery was made. After we opened the box, he went to the basement for tools and the rest is history. 10 minutes work and ice a couple of hours later! No problems since.

turn off water under sink,remove water line from valve,remove line from valve to icemaker,remove 2 screws holding valve to frige,remove wire connector from valve,attach wire to new valve,cut off end of line going to valve from icemaker & push end of line into valve, attach water line to new valve,attach valve with 2 screws,turn water back on.

Pulled out the old unit removed 3 screws waited about 3-4 hours had ice. Took over night until we were actually sureby then the ice bin was full. Easy repair!
