WRT771RWYB00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

After receiving the new part almost immediately,using two screw drivers, removed the broken switch from the plastic frame. Be careful not to scratch or otherwise tear the plastic...very pliable. Since the original switch was factory installed and the wires were packed in fiberglass insulation, the switch came out but the wires and clips were still in place and could not reach the new switch. It was necessary to pull them down with bent long nose pliers...used a lot of "pull" but the wires held up.Connected the switch, turned the power on and there was light! Reports from other users really took the uncertainty out of the task.

I replace the Ice Maker unit. Not only was the replacement/repair activity very easy, locating, ordering and receiving the part from PartSelect was priced competitively, very easy, quick and I received the part earler than expected (always a nice thing!).

Took the old one out and put the new one in.

Discovered that the fan in the freezer was not working properly. Removed the ice maker, paneling, wire harness and inserted new motor. Worked immediately and began circulating the cold air into the refrigerator.

No instructions with part. Found a picture on line and changed the arm, but it didn't fix the problem. Fairly easy after figured out what needed to be done to get to the part.

removed the old ice maker, removed the cable from the old as none of the ones included were correct, and attached it to the new. within in two hours it was making ice.

Repair went just like the video. Since refrigerator and freezer are side-by-side, it's a little harder to get to the screws. This is where the small mirror comes in handy.

I had to take the icemaker cover door off to get the icemaker in. Then I realized I needed to use the additional brackets.

Easy. Followed directions. Ice bucket is now full. I highly recommend this service (fast shipping) and instructional videos make it a cake walk.

All of the parts are removed and install through the front of the freezer bin. Remove three screws and unplug the old one. I plugged the old wiring directly in and set the new ice maker on two of the screws for alignment, then screwed in the third screw, tightened everything. Install the arm that checks the status of the amount of ice and waited for it to fill up with ice.

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.

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!

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

Remove entire ice maker unit from freezer to test for function. Determined to be an electrical malfunction issue. Installed replacement ice maker unit. Easy fix, perfect fit replacement unit.
