RT21LMXKQ03 Roper Refrigerator - Instructions

The icemaker is in a side by side refrigerator/freezer with an auger driven ice bin dispenser, so space was limited. I first removed the ice bin but I couldn't see the three nuts holding the icemaker in place. I removed the ice bin support bracket (under the icemaker) using a Phillips head screw driver. Now the bottom nut holding the icemaker in place was easily visible and I was able to determine the size of nut driver I needed to completely remove it. Then I felt for the location of the top two nuts, slipped the nut driver on and loosened them. I was able to lift the icemaker off the top two nuts without completely removing them. Using a flat head screw driver, I pushed down the white tab holding the wiring harness connection to the icemaker and removed the harness, freeing the ice maker for complete removal. I did not need to replace the wiring harness, so I simply reversed the whole process to install the new icemaker. I am a 61 year old female with rheumatoid & degenerative arthritis and found this installation really easy, with the one exception of snapping the wiring harness connection into the new icemaker - I didn't have the thumb strength. I had to wait for a relative to come and snap the wiring harness connector into place for me. I also had to use some snips to cut out the plastic tab (scored) for the water feed to the icemaker but was able to complete the entire installation within 30 minutes.

Ordered alternate water inlet value-reattached new one as described on enclosed instructions. Newer type inlet connection-was not sure but it worked as described.

I compared my problem to those on this site's problem descriptions. Others had the exact same issue so I felt confident about the fix and ordered a new thermostat. All it took to fix : Unplug fridge, use a 1/4" nut-driver to remove one screw, drop the panel, pull off temp knob, unhook 3 wires, pull out thermostat, remove plastic tube on sensor, replace plastic tube on sensor of new thermostat. Reverse assembly, done in 15 minutes. This is a simple fix, anyone can do it. (Total repair: $74.00)

Unplug the unit cord, remove 3 screws on the icemaker. Unhook the wiring harness from the refrigerator, remove the unit and reverse the order to install the new unit. Reinstall the on off bail, and the icemaker tray. Make sure that the unit is level after the new installation so that water does not spill out of the icemaker.

R and R parts

Removed the broken icemaker per instructions provided with the replacement part purchased. by Part Select. The whole procedure went very well and my new icemaker is working like a charm. I highly .recommend Part Select. Kitchenaid had discontinued making the the original icemaker and Part Select provide an OEM replacement that worked perfectly.

just like video very easy ! Thank you for the fast service and good information for installation.

This repair sounds really simple because it requires simply removing one screw at the bottom and loosening two at the top of the icemaker .This is the third icemaker I have put in my Whirlpool refrigerator .They last about 3 years .All you need is a quarter inch nut driver but the amount of twisting you have to do and the tight quarters make this job difficult .I take the bottom screw out and loosen the top two ,then pull and twist the icemaker off the screws Everything is by feel .Put a large pan under the icemaker to catch the screws if you drop them .The harness is short so plugging it in and getting it on the screws is hard .

Searched internet until I found a company(yours) with the part needed. Could not locate locally refrigerator too old. After finding"Part Select" site I watched the video provided. It was very instructive and helpful. I cancelled calling any repair service and did the repair myself. The part was delivered fast and I had no problems with the repair. Your confirmation e-mail of part being shipped again provided the video for the repair. I only watched again after the repair to check myself, all went well. My Ice maker is working great again and I consider this purchase money well spent. I was considering another refrigerator but will now keep the Kitchen aid longer, Thank you.

Just removed old ice maker which took about 2 minutes. installed new ice maker in about two minutes. Simple and easy install.

First I entered my model #, then picked the symptom, then went with the odds when presented with the likely suspects. The run capacitor, and bi-metal defrost timer had the highest % of guilt. Most of the time was spent defrosting the coils with a hair dryer. The run capacitor took 3 minutes to remove and replace. I snipped out the old defrost timer and used butt connectors to wire up the new one. The old timer flunked the continuity test when placed in salted ice water. The freezer/fridge runs like new, for about $66. The run capacitor was probably ok but I left the new one in, being too lazy to send it back. "Part Select" was a great partner in helping to fix my machine.

I found the part I needed at parts select and followed the video on their web site. They have a very informative web site, it made my job easy. I highly recommend this company.
