WRS26MZRHD1 Westinghouse Refrigerator - Instructions

Cut Hoses From Reservoir And Connect With New Hose With Connection Fitting.

Remove 4 screws to get the housing cover off. Remove the lock ring that holds the ice auger in place. REmove 4 screws to get the crusher housing off. Reverse the order to replace the housing. Very simple.

It was very simple to replace the drawer. The old one slid right out and the front panel was super easy to remove and put onto the new drawer. The new drawer slid right in and all was good. I did this for my mom and this was much better than buying a new fridge. Now I'm replacing the lower crisper because she forgot to mention that both were broken. At least the replacement was an easy job!

first replaced dual solenoid, then ice maker. still not working. going to chase electrical next

unpluged fridge, turned of water under sink to the fridge, removed back panel, removed water lines to the valve, replaced valve, put the water lines back on, replaced water filter in fridge, turned the water back on, pluged the fridge in. every thing works great, recomend running some water through dispencer and run a tub of ice through before useing if its been down for a little while.

After paying a repair man $80 to come out and tell me the issue was related to poor water pressure, I had a plumber replace our original water line with a copper line. $250 later, the problem was not fixed. The plumber did however tell me that the issue was likely with the solenoid valve on the refrigerator. I started doing some internet research on replacing a solenoid valve and came across the the instructional videos from PartSelect on YouTube. Watching the video made me realize just how easy it would be to replace this part (I consider myself somewhat handy but have never had any experience repairing a refrigerator). After typing in my fridge model number on parts select, and reading through the list of common issues, I was reasonably sure that this part would fix my issues. PartSelect return policy also made me feel comfortable that if the part did not work, I could easily return it. I ordered the part from PartsSelect and had it within a day. It took me about 20 minutes to replace the part, including vacuuming the backside of the fridge and cleaning underneath it. Overall, the repair process could not have been much easier.

I simply pulled out the ice container and auger assembly and,after washing the new one, Iput the new one in and it worked immediately. It couldn't have been any simpler.

Removed the lower trim panel from front of fridg. and loosened two screws enough to turn it about 1/4 inch so the screw heads were in the larger holes. Pulled it out disconnected the wire connector and transfered the heat shield and screws to the new clock, connected the wire connector and aligned the screws. tightened them and job done. Has worked like new sense. Thanks Roger

I replace the deal with a valve because the old one was leaking . a small leak will cause water to slowly flow into the ice tube which freezes up and then becomes clogged with ice. The new valve stopped this problem and it works perfectly now

Removed bottom cover on back of refrig. Took screws out of the bracket holding the dual valve. Pulled valve out of the refrig. Disconnected 3 lines. Had to cut tubing for new fittings. Weren't the same as old valve, but gave directions on how to do it. Re-installed valve with ease. Put cover back on and had water!!!

Turn off the water supply. Unplug the refrigerator. Remove the backpanel with small socket driver. Unscrew the two tubes attached to the solenoid. Unplug the plug from the solenoid, remove the two hex head screw that hold the solenoid in place. Screw the two tubes to the new solenoid, plug the plug into the new solenoid. Attach the solenoid with the two hex head screws and resecure the back panel with the two hex head screws. Plug the refrigerator in. Turn on the water supply. Check for 1eaks.

Diagnosis: used wiring diagram attached to frig and determined cause could be wiring, heater element, thermostat or timer. After completely defrosting the frig (turned it off) I removed the rear cover in the freezer and looked for an obvious problem. None seen. Removed temperature select pod from the frig box and looked for obvious problems. None seen but defrost timer appeared poorly made. Repair: Since I had no practical way of checking the defrost cycle in operation, I checked probable failures on the Part Select website and saw defrost timer as most probable. I ordered the timer. Installed it. Waited a few days to make sure the frig went through a few defrost cycles then removed the freezer rear cover. There was no excessive frost buildup so I'm reasonably sure the repair was successful.

The repair went exactly as illustrated by the video offered by part select. That video was helpful and showed me step by step how to accomplish the repair. The replacement part was exactly the same as the original, thank you part select.( Allow the old ice maker to return to room temperature before you remove the 1/4 nut securing the level mechanism, otherwise the frozen head of the not will break off).

Followed the video instructions posted below the product. Its a tight area to work in but it can be done. It did not immediately start making ice. I waited and waited.... 3 hrs 4 hrs still not filling up or making ice. Finally I decided to pour some water in the tray and see if it would freeze ice and dump it. It did and immediately started to fill up on its own after that! Its been working perfectly ever since! So dont be alarmed if yours doesnt work immediately and try pouring some water in it if yours doesnt being working within several hrs. I am happy I was able to do this myself and save repair man costs. Its just not work the cost they charge for older appliances.

This is the 2nd ice maker replace in the past 20 months. This installation was easier following the experience of the first replacement. The instructions are well written. The pictures or illustrations are difficult. The most challenging part of the installation is routing and fastening the wire harness. The illustration was not helpful. Overall, this is a repair most DIYers should be able to accomplish.
