RT21LMXKQ09 Roper Refrigerator - Instructions

Shut off water to icemaker, unplugged frig, loosened top 2 screws on iccemaker, removed bottom screw, unplugged icemaker and removed from frig. new plug in was the same so didn't need to chan ge it. reversed steps to install, back in businees in less than 15 mins., making ice and no leaks!!!!!!!

Followed the example on the video and everything fit in place without any problems. Only issue is that on a double door fridge the freezer is rather narrow so there isn't much room to work making it was a bit difficult to access the mounting screws.

Really couldn't be easier. Loosen 3 screws that are easy to find. Disconnect the quick connect wiring harness. Now you have the old unit out. Take out the wire that tells if there is too much ice from the old unit and put it on the new one ( this was the hardest part of the project) Hook up the new wiring connector and hook it on the screws and tighten it up. Viola, your done. No messing with the water. Took me 5 minutes and I've never done it before.

I watched the installation video and did just like it said. It was pretty easy. My ice maker is working once again, and I'm pretty proud!

Replaced with new handle. The handle broke on thursday, the part was sent on friday. It arrived on .Saturday. Great service. Was pleased that the part was still available.

Exactly as instructed by video on your site. The replacement took 10 minutes. thankyou Partselect.

I followed the video instructions to replace the ice maker controller. Works like new. Each to order from website, part arrived in 3 days. I'll certainly order from partselect.com again.

The repair was very easy, unplug ref. open freezer door, and remove base plate, then remove screws on back plate. I had to tilt top of back plate to remove from freezer. This gives you access to the evap. fan Pull of the three wires, and remove screws from fan bracket, which bolts to the back of ref. Remove fan motor from bracket (2) screws, remove motor, and put replacement motor on bracket, pull fan blade off old unit and push on new motor shaft. Reverse the installation, and you are done. Pretty easy.

Watched the online video and it looked just too simple.....so when I got the new unit I did not have to even change the wiring harness and I was totally surprised that the change could be so simple and easy! Trick is to follow the video instructions and DO NOT take out the two top screws but just loosen them enough to lift up the old unit and remove it! Cannot believe it could be that simple and easy.

Got the main bolts off and unplugged and removed the ice maker. Had to remove all parts and rebuild it on the new mold. Was more complex than I thought but was able to get it done. Note where everything was as you take it off and you'll do fine.

Removed the 2 screws on the panel at the back of the freezer compartment. Removed the air tower from the back panel. Removed aground wire and a wire plug from th back panel and removed the panel from the freezer compartment. Removed the 2 screws holding the fan motor and motor brackets to the back wall of the freezer. Compressed the bracket tabs on the motor bracket and removed the motor from the brackets. Removed the ground wire and the electrical wire connections from the motor. Installed the new motor in the reverse order, reassembled the motor brackets, reinstalled the back panel and the air tower into the freezer compartment and pluged inthe refrigerator and turned on the temperature control. Fridge running perfect.

1. Turn thermostat down to ensure cooling cycle turns on. Open freezer compartment and listen for air flow/fan. If no air flow or fan, but compressor seems to be working, then proceed to next steps. 2. Turn thermostat up to shut off refrigerator cooling cycle. 3. Open freezer and remove wire shelf (if installed). 4. Using nutdriver or socket set, remove screws securing metal panel on the back wall of the freezer interior. 5. Pull metal panel out to expose evaporator fan and evaporator coil. 6. Ensuring area around fan is clear, turn thermostat down to again start cooling cycle and check if fan operates - if not, then fan needs to be replaced. 7. Turn off refrigerator and unplug from electrical outlet. 8. Order replacement fan (unless you happen to keep one in stock). 9. Remove two screws securing fan and fan bracket assembly to back wall of freezer, note wire connections to fan (red, white and green), disconnect wires and remove fan assembly. 10. Gently pull off fan blade, it is a compression fitting. 11. Remove two screws holding back and front fan brackets together and remove fan motor. 12. Remove rubber gasket from front and back of old motor and insert then on the new replacement fan motor (these rubber gaskets align to openings in the fan brackets, thereby holding the motor in place when installed back into the brackets). 13. Reinstall fan brackets onto new motor matching how the old motor was assembled. 14. Press the fan blade onto the new motor shaft. 15. Reinstall fan motor assembly onto back wall of freezer. 16. Reconnect wires to new motor as they were previously connected to old motor. 17. Reinstall back wall metal panel that covers the fan motor assembly and evaporator coil. 18. Reinstall wire shelf (if applicable). 19. Plug refrigerator in and adjust thermostat to normal setting to initiate cooling cycle. 20. Open freezer and listen for fan and airflow, if you hear it operating correctly, then close freezer and refrigerator and confirm temperatures after refrigerator has cycled through one full cooling cycle - adjust thermostat as necessary. 21. Tell your spouse or significant other that for less than fifty dollars you just saved the price of replacing the refrigerator.
