ED5VHGXMB10 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

Took the bolts at the bottom of the door off and removed the door. Pried out the old cam and put the new one in. Put the door back on and it works like it is brand new. The fridge is 13+ years old

Symptom: The ice maker was making ice, but sometimes the water would run and overflow at the entrance of the ice maker, spilling water into the ice catch and turning all of the ice into a huge block. The problem was that the liner of the ice maker had started to flake off, but only on part of the unit. When water would flow into the ice maker, the exposed part would freeze quickly, creating an ice dam and block the rest of the water from flowing into the other trays, thus overflowing. Solution: A new ice maker unit was ordered online, then after watching the video on how to fix, the process was straightforward and fairly simple. There is one screw to remove, 2 to loosen, and a wire harness to remove to remove the ice making unit. Then the ice full bar was removed from the old unit and put onto the new unit and the entire assembly replaced inside the freezer. The most difficult part of the job was loosening the screws by touch as there isn't a lot of room to see.

I had to make sure the electronic beam was working properly, which it was (steady beam if you press in the side plastic flap. I also had to make sure the water valve for the icemaker was working properly as well, which it was by switching the lead wires on the valve (water dispenser wire to ice maker valve, and hitting water dispenser paddle and hearing water flow to the ice maker). After that, I knew it was the icemaker motor. Removed three screws with a socket, disconnected wire harness (had to use pliers to pull it apart), pulled out entire icemaker unit. Loosened three screws on motor control unit to remove it from icemaker unit, then inserted new motor control unit and re-screwed the 3 screws. Then I pu tthe entire icemaker unit back in the freezer, connected wire harness, re-inserted three screws and was finished. I then waited for one hour, went to check ice maker and I had ice cubes forming in the tray.

Unplugged, turned off water. Simply took out bottom screw, then two top screws. Disconnected writing harness. Put in the new reversing order. Then like new again!

I read prior postings about how the compressor start relay was the most likely failed part based upon the periodic clicking as well as the rattle when the relay was shaken, with loose metal particles coming out of the original part. I ordered the replacement for next business day delivery and it arrived on schedule. The replacement kit comes with two relays for two different compressor designs. The correct relay is an exact replacement for the original, with the same part numbering. I removed the compressor start capacitor (a small black rectangular box with two metal terminals) from the original relay and installed it on the new part. The replacement kit comes with a black plastic cover, which did not fit since the start capacitor is in the way. I reinstalled the wire hook that secures the relay to the compressor body, and the refrigerator now works great.

Followed the video on Parts Select and it was a breeze.

I have a side-by-side fridge/freezer, so taking out the icemaker is a bit more tricky than the video shows. I just unscrewed a nut in the back right of the mechanism (this nut is holding the icemaker in place as well as the plug cover). Once that was off it slid out pretty easy. Because the freezer is so narrow, it's a bit difficult to get it back in, but all told the repair took me about 20 minutes. Replacing this part fixed the icemaker immediately and we're so glad to have our on demand ice back! Ladies, don't be afraid of a little appliance repair!

Found the part on the website (be sure to put the proper model number in)Be very watchful ofhow the bdracket come out and how the various wires go back onto the bracket. (Make a diagram on paper with colors in the proper location.

Simply washed the part and installed

UPS delivered the part at 11:05 AM and I had it installed in less than 30 minutes. No issues, easy removal and re-installation although the compartment was very tight for my hand and a 1/4" drive socket wrench. One installation suggestion however, pre-thread the 3 mounting screw holes on the motor housing first by screwing one of the screws provided into each of the three mounting holes on the motor housing prior to attempting to install the new motor. This way you'll find it much easier to get start the screws given the very limited work-space behind the fan compartment.

First of all I read the suggested repair order. I then proceded to remove the grill. Then the bottom of the frame where the grill sets on was pushed down to release it from the catches. It was the lifted out of the way. The small control panel the was released from its catch and moved out of the way. The retaining screw was removed so that the levers were removeable. The small damper cylinder for the ice door was diconnected toget the arm out. Reverse of these procedures was used to reassemble the unit. It was a very easy procedure. Thank you for the imformation on the repair. I WIIL BE BACK!!!!!!!

I watched the PartSelect Video on removing and replacing the auger drum. I replaced the ice auger also. Super service from PartSelect.

Usednut driver tr remove reardust cover and than a screw driver to snap off cover protecring starter commponents. . Re[placed starter and relay. Replaced covers. . Done. . It was a snap. . My only complaint was the instructions really did not explain fully which part in my package was for my unit. . . I figuered I out by processof elimation,,,

Based on research done on your site, I concluded that my problems was the icemaker control. The video showed me exactly what to do. During removal, I dropped the unit and broke the water fill cup. Ordered the control unit (as well as a replacement for the broken cup). Installed in about ten minutes. You really can't mess up. It only goes in one way! The next day, bucket was full of ice. Thanks for all the help. I figured I saved $200.00 on the cost of a technician call.

your repair video makes it simple and easy for everyone.your company is the best and I'm telling everyoneI know. GREAT
