CustomerJames from San Diego CA

No ice from ice maker

Replaced motor-modl (part #W10190935) by un-screwing 3 screws, disconnected the the electical plug, removed 3 screws that held the motor assembly to the and removed the motor and replaced with new motor but this did not fix the problem and still had no ice. Since frig was 10 years old decided to buy new one as cost to repair would probably cost a few hundred dollars. Gave frig to family member as second frig as they already had ice maker.

A drawer support wheel had broken off the lower support shelf frame making drawer opening very difficult

I removed the glass shelf and drawer, tugged on the frame to snap it out of position, snapped the new frame in place, replaced the shelf and drawer and done... So easy, a 5 year old could do it...

Icemaker quit

Unscrewed 3 screws. Unplugged the old unit, plugged in the new unit. Replaced 3 screws. Made ice like new.

This was VERY easy. The kit inlcuded every conceivable wire connection pigtail. Turned out I needed none since the OEM cable was a plug & play affair.

In the door ice maker coupling was broken, therefore, it would not dispense ice.

Ordered the parts, three days later they arrived. Put the coupling and the washer in place and screwed the dispenser back in place. Oh yeah, also installed the new filter that I ordered. Piece of cake.

CustomerWilliam from Cincinnati OH

Ice maker stopped working

Ordered and installed new icemaker. Still didn't work. Called repairman who replaced cut-off sensor (expensive service call) Worked briefly, then stopped. Service man said new icemaker was defective. Called PartsSelect and they promptly sent another one (great service). Made ice for 12 hours and then stopped. Did nothing for 36 hours and it suddenly started working again and works fine now. Beats me.

Filter needed changing

All of 16 seconds. It took longer to get it out of the box than to change it. Untwist the old one, pull it out and replace the new one.

REmoved the broken one, put the new one on, just needed my reading glasses to figure out if I had the straight side matched up so it would work. Couldn't have been easier.
