WRT579SMYB00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

Definitely watch the demo video. It described every aspect to remove old unit and install the new one. Made the install 'childs-play'!!

imakers first replaced the water inlet valve. that didn't fix the problem, but increased the water column to the water dispenser. replacing the icemker cured the problem! I now have $200 ice!!! your service was great! the part arrived as promised!

Istalled new ice maker in about twenty minutes.Very satisfied .

Pulled the old filter out and plugged the new one in. Make sure you check that both O rings are on the new filter. Firmly push in. I have had an air lock in my ice machine and it took a couple of days before it started to make ice again. Easy deal.

While removing the old Ice Maker, by looking at the new one, I observed that the old one had Ice frozen in the path of the water flow. After I removed the ice, using a hair dryer, I reassembled the old part and it has worked fine ever since. I have a spare Ice Maker now.

The replacement part (new ice maker unit) orked perfectly fter insstall. The "Part Select" video on how to replace this unit was extremely helpful and actually convinced me to try it myself. I took the old unit out and just reversed the process and installed the new, replacement unit. Worked fine and wroks fine. (Note: it did take a full 24 hours or a little longer to actually start making ice. I think the ater supply drains off and takes a while to get back into the ice maker.)

exactly as shown on the video and it was completed in less than 10 minutes with only a nutdriver; took wife to dinner with the money saved and returned to find ice in bin without the "iceberg" from the prior leak! Thanks for the great parts selection, clear description of problems to help select correct fix and most of all the "how-to" video. I'm a customer for life ! WSD

The ice maker installation video was a life saver. Thank you. Followed video instructions and removal of old unit and installation of new unit took almost no time. Again thank you for the excellent video.

We changed the valves first to try it and then we changed the ice maker. That worked. Thank you nephew for helping me.

I just read and followed the directions

Followed the instructions, tool out the 'bad' ice maker and replaced it with the replacement ice maker...saved a bunch of money and the job was very easy!!!

I unplugged the refrigerator then I took the bottom screw out of the ice maker. I loosen the other two screws and picked up on the ice maker and it came out. I saw that the top of the ice maker where the screws are they sit in a groove so you dont have to take the top screws out just loosen them and pick up on the ice maker and it will come out. Then I unplugged it from the old ice maker not from the wall of the refrigerator. The reason is I didnt want to mess up the cover that hides the plug in the wall of the refrigerator. Then I took the metal on and off bar off the old ice maker and put it on the new one. Then I took the face off the new ice maker and unplugged the new wire. All you have to do is press down on the little clip and pull back on the plug. Then I plugged the old plug into the new ice maker. Then I set the ice maker in the grooves on the top screws then iput the bottom screw back in then I tighten all screws. I plugged the refrigerator in. I started getting ice in thirty minutes. My wife think I can fix anything now. Thanks

Instead of trouble shooting what part was bad, just replaced the whole unit. Probably cheaper in the long run and the whole process took less than 15 minutes. Pulled the old icemaker out, plugged in the new one and back in business.

Unplug refrigerator.loosen 2 screws,take bottom screw out.Unplug electric connector,take off ice arm,install on new ice maker.Reinstall maker.plug in refrigerator.Really easy to install!

I unplugged the unit Frist. Then I removed the grill covering the compressor and fan from the back. I then located the rear wheel and pin. I bent down the retaining tab and removed the pin and wheel. I installed new wheel and pin and bent retaining tab back to origional location. Replaced grill and checked unit for proper operation.
