ED5VHGXMB10 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

as shown in instructions

This was the easiest repair I have ever done. Don't waste your money calling a repairmain for this one. Unplug from electrical outlet, and turn off water supply. I first removed the ice bucket to give myself the room needed to remove ice maker. Then I loosened to two top nuts holding the icemaker and removed the bottom one. Pulled the icemaker away from the freezer wall and disconected the power supply. Removed unit from freezer and removed the three screws holding control motor assembly in place, gently removed icemaker control assembly. Secured with the three screws, placed unit back in freezer making sure water inlet was in place and reconected power supply. Slid unit onto the top two nuts and tightened and replaced bottom screw. Turned on water supply and reconected to electrical supply. Easier then pie.

I would never attempt an appliance repair but after watching the video instructions for installing this part I decided to give it a try even though I'm dangerous with a screwdriver. After retrieving a nutdriver from my $39 handy dandy tool set, it was a piece of cake. Upper hinge cover, hinge, door removal, comes off in a matter of minutes. Only problem surfaced when I went to install my new cam in the lower hinge. It didn't fit. It was actually for the upper door hinge. I reinstalled the lower plastic piece (whatever it's called), tightened it down, put the door back on (you can do it yourself if it's the refrig. side) and popping sound was gone. I guess the bottom hinge plastic piece was probably loose but you can't tighten it unless you remove the door. I now have a upper door cam in my drawer ready when it fails and will replace it without hesitation.

Removed the icemaker assembly, which was simple to remove. Once the assembly was removed, I unscrewed the motor housing and replaced it. I then reinstalled the assembly and closed the door. It did not making ice immediately and it took about 30 minutes to start.

Installation went fairly smooth, only problem was because it is a side by side freezer space was a little tight and screws were hard to see, but other than that works fine.

My name is Tuan Nguyen. I have no ice and no water dispense into icemaker tray. I replace the the icemaker control and motor assembly. I unscrew a screw underneath the icemaker unit and disconnect the wire clip and pull out the icemaker assembly. I remover 3 screw from the motor assembly unit and replaced it with the new motor assembly. and installed the unit back in the compartment. It took about twenty min. It make me look good, that my wife knows i can fixed the problem without calling the repair men.

The comments from PartSelect were 50/50 that it would be the motor on the icemaker. We bought the motor which came 4 days leter and followed the installation instructions in the video. We started getting ice about 2 hours after the installation!

Turn the unit OFF - Removed one hex head screw on the bottom of the ice maker, removed the cable cover and unplugged. Removed front cover & Slide the icemaker out. Removed control cover and removed the three phillips head screws to the controller. Put the new controller back on with the three phillips head screws, pushed the cover back over the controller. Plugged the unit back in, then slide it back in the tracks, put the cable cover back on and installed the hex head screw, popped the front cover back on and turned the unit ON - DONE!

My dad and I worked together. The video helped but it was a little more complicated. If you can't find the water supply, remove the filter and water should stop, that's what we did. We had to remove the freezer door for access to the ice maker. It was tricky taking the icemaker off and getting it back on. Replacing the motor was easy, just as shown in the video. Just like others have said, within an hour of the repair the ice starting coming!

Thanks to this site, it told me what was wrong, what to order and how to repair it.

I was at a loss. Did not know where to find the part. Opened the website and navigated for a minute, then put in part number of the broken piece and the right part popped up! I ordered two and they came to my door in two days, popped into place and fit perfectly! Problem solved, no stress.....what a treat.

Shut off the water supply. Removed the water line and filter housing. Had to watch the how to video to figure out how to disconnect the lines form the housing. Removed and replaced.

Remove front dust grill at bottom, pulls off with a little muscle.. While this is I found it to be a good time to vacuum area. Remove two screws at bottom in front with nut driver. Lift wire on left out. Hold filter unit and grasp water line and pull steadily repeat for other line. Remove old filter housing and reassemble. The worst was having to buy the whole part just for the keeper.
