3ECKMF86 Whirlpool Ice Maker - Instructions

replaced icemaker motor.easy peasy

Went very easy, watched the video from the web site and did what it showed to do and put it together and it worked.We now have ice.

I had put in a call for a service man, but our son-in-law assured me he could easily repair the ice maker if the proper part was available. Amazingly the part was identified on line, ordered and received within four days. When it arrived it took him less than half an hour to get it installed and working, and I saved the price of a service call. I would highly recommend PartSelect to anyone needing replacement parts.

Replacement partfit perfectly.

Thought that this would be pretty much it for this unit considering it's age. I checked with some of the local repair shops, no one had the part. Did a google look up and partselect.com came up with it.
Ordered part and received it in 2 days. Removed complete ice unit from fridge by removing bottom holding screw and lifting up unit, disconnected power supply (actually you don't need to do this, you can replace in place). Removed old assembly off by removing 4 screws, lined up cam and installed motor unit just like the old one. Replaced complete unit back to fridge and hooked up power. Unit started making ice within the hour. I will usually always try to fix things before sending them to the dump, my effort in being green. I will come back to partselect in the future and will recommend to friends.

I'm by no means handy, but replacing the motor went surprisingly smooth. Using the enclosed instructions and an on-line video walkthrough made the repair easy. My wife now views me as an appliance wizard.

Followed the handy repair video on this site for that part. Repair went exactly like the video described.

We had to take the cover off, remove screws, take off old control and replace items in reverse order. We had the arm in the wrong position at first and it raised the arm and shut off. We redid the position of the arm and everything has been fine since.

Real simple: Unplugged refrigerator at wall. I just removed cover by wiggling it off and removed three phillips head screws, lined up shaft with motor assembly slot and screwed in the three screws, plugged in and waited to make ice. Wasn't sure if it was going to work took about a day for ice to be made consistently. My repair man gave me an estimate of $185.00 parts/labor I did it for $65.00. This is the second time I have had to replace this part. This refrig. is about 15 yrs. old and still works great.

Pulled off cover. Removed 3 screws pulled module out installed new one and rinstalled 3 screws. Reinstalled cover. was making ice cubes within 30 min.

It was easy and quick to find the part that I needed, order it and have it shipped. The fill tube arived in 3 days and was easy to replace.

Removed white plastice cover, removed three screws, slid out the assembly unit, replaced with the assembly unit, put screws back in and cover on. A few hours later it was making ice.

I followed the instructions that were given online by Kitchenaide. The ice maker came out really easy. Took 3 screws out set the new motor assembly in put the screws back in and reconnected the wiring harness. the unit slide back in easy. Works great!!

i followed the video instructions provide by a link and it was perfect to repair

This was very easily repaired in about 15 minutes and only using a phillips head screw driver to remove 3 screws. The plate pulls off easily and there are no wires on this particular ice maker, only male and female clips . You may have to jiggle the metal wire ice on-off bar. The new face plate is all one piece and is installed the same way very easily. Plugged the refrigerator back in and had half a bucket of ice the next morning!!!
