The Ice Maker Deflector Broke and Needed Replacing
17 of 19 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Tony from Victorville, CA
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
I first removed the ice bin from freezer. There were four nut screws on back of ice bin cover that I removed with a screw driver, giving me access to the deflector. The deflector has two prongs that attach it securely to the ice bin, I used a phylips head screw driver to release the prongs from the deflector. I installed the new deflector by placing it through the bottom portion of deflector area, using the phyllips screw driver I engaged the prongs of the deflector into slots on ice bin. There was a hook on the back side of the deflector that went over a metal rod that controls the ice cube release. Then replace front cover of ice bin with the four nut screws and returned it to the ice maker location.

Followed instructions supplied. It was relatively easy and the parts fit exactly right. Sears wanted twice as much for the part and service would have charged me another $100 to come to my home. I saved over $100 doing the project myself.

Simply move the appliance for access to the back side. Removed the lower metal access panel, locate the compressor ( black round object ) parts are on the left bottom of the compressor. Simply unplug the parts, and replace with new parts.The hard part was, getting my 72 year old body in position to do the job. As far as getting the right part, a young lady in Nova Scoita is the one to ask for help !! Ordered parts one day, and they were in my hands the next morning!!

Replace broken ice machine feeder drum
14 of 15 people found this instruction helpful.
  • David from League City, TX
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers, Wrench (Adjustable), Wrench set
Be advised that to do this job, you have to take the ice tray and feeder assembly completely apart. The only tricky part is that the nut, part 31 in the drawing, that holds everything together is reverse threaded. Since it's plastic, you're afraid you'll break it. If you know it's reverse threaded to begin with you can go ahead and app ly the required force to get it off.

The ice maker had a internal brownish leak substance. This in turn dripped on the ice in the tray, which froze the ice cubes in a ball which would not let the ice to be ejected from the dispenser, and in turn cracked the tray which holds the ice cubes, so I had to replace the tray and ice maker.

On a side by side refer, you need both doors open to unscrew the three 1/4 inch screws,
1. Remove the ice tray
2.the ice arm needs to be in the up position, so no water will flow while dissembling.
3. Remove the two top screws,
4. While holding the ice maker with o e hand, remove the bottom screw.
Balance t he ice maker and unplug the ice make electric plug in the rear of the ice maker.
5. Take the I e maker out.
6. The ice maker does not come with the ice arm, so you need to remove the arm from the old or broken ice maker and install it in the new ice maker.
7. Resemble in reverse order.

I did not unplug the refer from the wall socket, you may want to do this. It recommended but I did not.
There you go.

1. Empty your fridge. Lighter is easier to move and this is the hardest step in the fix. 2. Move your fridge so you can get behind it. Unplug the fridge. 3. Use a 1/4in nut driver to remove the screws from the back panel. 4. Remove the back panel. 5. Locate the compressor (big cylinder, usually black) and find the capacitor (PS11757023) a nd start dev (PS11750123) plugged into the side of the compressor. 6. There is a steel spring restraint wire, remove this. 7. Remove the pin connector (plastic w/ wires going to it) by pressing and pulling gently. Remove the old capacitor and start dev. 8. Assemble the new capacitor and start dev to each other. 9. Plug the pin connector into the new replacement components. 10. Align the start dev to the location of the old components. There is a 3 pin outlet that aligns to the 3 plug holes on the start dev. Align the plug then push gently but firmly to seat the components back together. 11. Reinstall the restraint wire. 12. Reinstall the pack panel. 13. Put your refrigerator back in place and load it up! You're all done!

I bought a new Whirlpool Refrigerator that didn't have an ice maker.
I wanted to install an ice maker. I searched your web site and found the model ice maker model it said I needed. WPW10715709. This one was a 4 wire 8 terminal. I needed a 4 wire flat connector. WPW10715708. You approved the return. It cost me $50 to return it. I bel ieve you should refund me the cost of this postage. Your web site gave me the wrong model number.

Thank you

Scratches in Surface

This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.
