WRT779RWYB00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

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!

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

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 screws from the back of the part in the fridge. Pulled old part out. Measured the old part. Cut new part to fit. Replaced new part and tightened the screws. Worked perfectly.

Viewed the viedo - it showed what to do

watched video, followed the instructions and everything fell into place. since the wiring harness was not removable, I disconnected the harness from the the old unit and hooked it up to the new unit. put every thing back together,plugged in the power cord and turned on the water. water filled the ice maker and ice appeared in about an hour.

ice cubes are now being made properly and there is no more leaking.

Previous to installing the new ice maker - I replaced the dual inlet water valve per the instruction video I found @ partselect website. That did not solve the problem <> I also adjusted the timer on the old ice maker down - per another video / which also did not solve the problem. Then I viewed the video on icemaker replacement - ordered the ice maker & 3 days and 15 minutes later <> the problem was fixed ! This web site is "fantastic" ! Thankyou partselect for your assistance ! ! !

The instuctions say take the door off. I didnt find that necessary. Made sure the new gasket would fit. Pulled the old gasket out inline with the door instead of away. The gasket came off like an innertube on a bicycle. Installation of my new gasket was easy. I started on a corner hooking the lip behind the ledge and worked my way around the door. 10 min maybe. That's it

After plugging in the new relay to no avail. I replaced the thermostat. That fixed the problem.

Removed three screws. Discount wire harness. Reverse proceedure for installation.

Watch the u-tube video first ,Then read instructions that came with new unit ! so darn easy. unplug fridge, remove ice bin, clean and dry bin before putting back in service! stick flashlight in freezer loosen 2 top screws remove 1 bottom screw, unmount unit, unplug wire harness, remove icemaker and put on table, close freezer door !! , Remove sensor arm from old unit in down position and install in new unit. plug in new unit and reattach in freezer. replace ice bin and plug in fridge, that's it!, It took about 2 hours for the icemaker thermostat to say OK lets go had a load of ice in aprox 3 hours from finish. piece of cake. Jon

taped the door shut ,measured a block of wood and stuck it under the door for support.....unbolted bottom hinge,slipped on hinge bracket and reassembled.no muss no fuss.

The replacement ice maker came with a few different wiring harnesses which I assumed one of them would fit. well none of them did. I took the wiring off of the old one and matched up all of the receptacles and hoped for the best. It worked. The hardest part of the repair was dislodging the ice machine from the massive chunk of ice that had developed due to the leak in the old one. after that it was pretty easy. I hemmed and hawed about the wiring harness for a few minutes but felt confident it was going to be okay. I took the heat shield off of the old one and put it on the new one and used the control cover and the control arm from the old one too. I checked that all the holes and mounting assemblies matched up. I plugged in the wiring harness to the ice maker and than to the refridgerator, used a nut driver to secure it to the inside wall of the freezer with 3 screws, replaced the ice bucket and the cold air diverter and closed the door. Within an hour I heard the first ice hit the bottom of the bucket.
