old icemaker, took out bottom screw, loosened top 2 screws (do not take out) lift and lay down, take off front cover, a little clip will let you disconnect power cord. take old icemaker out of fridge. take off the wire to lift to cut off ice and put on new icemaker. plug power into new icemaker and hang on top screws. wait about 45 mins. and the new icemaker will make a cycle with no water or ice. at this point the new icemaker will fill with water and damn in about an hour or hour and a half you have ice. Oh, don't forget to put the ice bucket back in freezer. now tighten top screws. haven't put bottom screw back in yet.

Easy fix. Used this a teaching opportunity for my 18 yr old son and had him do all the work. The cams have like little inclines that as the meet close the door with like a over center effect. Empty the door. Just undo the top plate 5/16 screws and lift door off. On bottom of door change the 1 piece lower door closing cam and on the bottom post plate change the door cam. add a little grease and reverse the process to install. later in life my son will know how to make this repair.....easy to do folks.

If you follow the video to the letter it's a piece of cake

After figuring out online what I needed I was sent the step by step video on what to do. I have never did anything like this but I learned. In the Past my husband would deal with it but he is no longer alive to do this kind of stuff. Thank goodness you sent the video along with all the instructions as i had my laptop on the table and followed stopped it and followed it again. I actually did this . I am so proud of myself.Thank you for making it so easy.

There was really no repair. I only ordered a rack for the refrigerator door.

unsnap old part and gently push new shelf bracket in till it snaps into place.

Turn off power & water, using a nut driver removed lower screw, loosen the 2 top screws. Lifted unit up and out a little to remove power cable. Removed lever and installed on new unit. Hooked up power cable install it over the 2 top screws, install bottom screw and tighten all 3. Turn on power and water, lowered bar. It started making ice in about an hour. NO LEAKS. Did not have to adjust water level. Took me less than ten min to complete.

The Sears man came out and told me it was the thermostat that needed to be replaced and it would cost $321 plus tax. I went on youtube and watched the Partselect video several times and decided to order the part after seeing how easy it was to install. Total cost $65. I put the laptop on the counter and watched it as I installed it. It helped that I could go back and watch a certain part if there was a problem. But I had no problems and installed it in 20 minutes. Very, very simple to do. Of course I had to pay $75 to the Sears man but I saved about $200 . Thanks Partselect.

Pulled fridge out of pocket , turned off water , removed old water valve , disconnected electrical and water quick connect lines , replaced as same . Done , no leaks and it worked in less than 15 minutes . I am 70 years old and this was a snap. So fix it yourself in 15 minutes or 1 hour . Save yourself some money and be proud that you did it .

The fix was easy. I jacked up the unit and put on blocks. I used socket and ratchet removed the wheels. Reinstall new ones and let off the blocks.

The hardest part was figuring out how to get the front panel escutcheon panel off. With the putty knife under the bottom flange, you need to push down with some effort on the part of the flange where the drip pan slides in and twist the putty knife to disengage the locking tab. Once the panel is off, the rest of the job is easy with the aid of your video. Everything works like new...thanks.

Removed old valve. New valve does not provide for filter without modification. oOld valve used compression nut which had to be removed. Smooth cut with utility knife and push in. Needed a 1/4 inch compression coupling to hok up ice maker connection to 1/4 inch plastic hose fro the valve.

I watched the video a few times and pretty much did as it said to do. Took about 20 minutes start to finish. It seems to be working 100%.

I took ice bin apart to ensure what part I needed. Got Serial # & Model # from inside fridge. Online search for Whirlpool Parts to check out prices. Settled on PartSelect for best price. Quick service too!!! Before putting it all back together, I reviewed the video. It was pretty good. Just left it up & after each couple of steps, I'd look at what was next. Went together with no problem. There could have been more details given, like ensuring that certain things lined up during reassembly. There was dead time when the narrator could have given pointers.
