WRT579SMYB00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

Replace complete Unit

removed the lower door. took out the old gasket, snap in the new one. piece of cake.

Simple repair that anyone can do. 3 screws held the old one and it was out in 1 minute. Installed the stop from the old one plugged in the wire harness and reattached the new one. No need to cal a repairman for this job. probably saved $100 easy!

followed the informative how-to video available on this site

Watched the video on the Partsselect how to remove and install the icemaker. It made the job real easy to do. It took about 20 minutes to exchange it out. It took me about a extra 30 minutes to remove the water line to the icemaker and install a in-line filter. The water froz up where it pours into the icemaker. Ran some hot water through the line, reinstalled the line and everything works great now for over a week. Just a extra tip always check the water line to make sure Its clear. George Fontana CA

First I read your trouble shooting guide and determanded it was the ice maker. Then I watched your repair video which was very helpfull. I ordered the new icemaker, When it arrived I installed per video using only a 1/4 inch nut driver. IT was esay. New ice maker works great.Thank You for the information you have online and the parts and service.

Removed the six screws holding the bottom access plate found at the rear of the refrigerator. This gives you easy access to the run capacitor that has a retaining clip. Remove the wire clip and pull out the capacitor (it has two quick disconnect terminals). Reverse the process using the new run capacitor to complete the repair.

Easy.... Video made replacment very smooth. I only needed one tool a nuy driver.

This is an easy fix, simply remove and replace. What I was impressed with is that a how to video was provided along with my part. I wish all manufactures would offer this, the video was easy to understand and you had a good view of the operation. Thanks, a job well done.

The repair was easy. I wish I would have had a nutdriver; that would have made it extremely easy and a lot faster. I used a small wrench to take out the old ice maker. The new one went in easy. The arm was easy to move from the old ice maker to the new one, but it was a bit snug. We had to manually push the arm down a few times for the icemaker to dump the ice. After about 5 batches or so, it began to work on its own and now we have a full tub of ice (for the first time in two years). This was certainly time and money well-spent. Any one can do it!

replaced whole untit very simple proceder three sheet metel screws hold unit on unplug electric conncetor and its done

Pulled old unit out, took control lever off and put on new unti and installed. My connections all fit so no need to change. Had ice dropping in about an hour.

Had to Test Seloind. It Was OK. Then tested Motor Motor For Ice Maker. It Was Bad. Went Online Looked Up Parts For My Unit. They Were Shipped in a Timely Manner, only a few days. Installed parts in less than 15 minutes. Went very easy. Thank You

Just like the video. Hardest part was finding the right tool to unscrew the 3 screws which were easy. The rest was a piece of cake. I didn't replace the wire because I wasn't sure how to disconnect it from the fridge. The wire connections didn't look the same at the fridge wall as in the video.

Plan simple just screwed the screws out take the ice make out put the new one in and wait till the timer was ready and water went in and ice was made like brand new.
