WRS23MF5ASC Westinghouse Refrigerator - Instructions

took ice maker out empty ice removed 6 screws removed auger out took off lcck nut pulled off drum replaced with new drum reassembled.

I diagnosed the problem by checking the water flow at the supply valve and hose by disconnecting the hose from the back of the fridge. Found the pressure to be adequate. I then reconnected the supply hose and removed the cardboard backing from the fridge and removed the nuts holding the water inlet valve to the chassis. I loosened the first hose that runs from the bottom of the valve and had my wife activate the valve by pushing the water switch on the front of the fridge. Water basically sputtered out of the valve and I decided that was where the problem was. I ordered the valve from partselect. When it arrived I thought it was the wrong part because it had push-fittings whereas my original valve was all thumb screws. I took a chance and one by one used a utility knife to cut the hose free of the old valve as close to the nut as possible. Connecting them to the new valve was a piece of cake! Just make sure the hose bottoms out when you push it in. I turned the water back on, no leaks! Plugged the fridge in and pushed it back to the wall. After a bit of air bled out I had a strong flow of wateragain like new! The next day the ice cubes were solid again! We use the filtered water so many times a day and had been so frustrated with the slow water flow we had considered donating the fridge and buying a new one; thanks to this easy fix we expect keep it for years to come!

I did it just like the video it was that easy! love this web site amazing!

I thought this was going to be such a chore to find this part, but it wasn't. I went to partselect.com, found the piece I needed, paid for it and was done in 10 minutes. Partselect.com made searching for the piece I needed incredibly easy to find and order. I received the part on time an put the bin in place in five seconds. I will always go back to partselect.com to find my products.

Removed the old container, opened the replacement, put it in and it worked perfectly. Great job! Arrived quickly, well packed and in perfect shape.

I followed a video I found on how to take the front off of the ice dispenser ( to me the hardest part) Once I was in there it was a matter of removing the pin and spring,then putting the new flapper in place of the old. Hardest part in reassembling was getting the spring back where it belongs. After that it was a matter of putting the ice dispenser back together and testing. Works perfectly.

Replaced ice maker - easy to replace but it did not fix the problem.

Remove 4 screws to get the housing cover off. Remove the lock ring that holds the ice auger in place. REmove 4 screws to get the crusher housing off. Reverse the order to replace the housing. Very simple.

Had a little trouble getting old pin out of support bracket finally used screwdriver and broke plastic so I could get to the pin and used needle nose pliers to remove hanger then came right out putting new one in was a snap slid in tapped pin in and installed new crisper bracket took about 15to 20 minutes to complete.Contribute difficulty in removing pin to age of refrigerator had been in place for at least 5 years maybe longer overall experience not bad.I am 75 would probably been easier for a younger man more flexible.

first replaced dual solenoid, then ice maker. still not working. going to chase electrical next

Pulled fridge away from wall and unplugged. Turned off main water supply feed and removed fitting from water inlet valve. Took off back panel by removing 3 screws. Took out 2 screws holding valve to fridge. Pulled off color coded wire clips. Unscrewed each water tube connector. New valve had quick connectors so had to snip off flared ends of tubing with utility knife. Pushed tubing firmly into new valve fittings and pulled to ensure connection. Reattached wiring and reattached valve to fridge with the 2 screws. Reconnected water feed line and turned on main water feed. Checked for leaks before replacing back panel. Done. No more dripping from water dispenser.

It went okay. My husband did the job and he is handy. We both watched the little "How to" video and that was very helpful.

Installed the ribbon on the face plate first and then to the main part of the door. This prevented the wires within the ribbon not to be broken. then put the cover on and screwed it in.

The two screws that held the ice maker in place could not be seen do to there location. I could only get one hand inside do to space restriction.So I placed a mirror inside so I could see the screw heads and from point it was very easy to see and line up the nut driver on the screw heads. I then lifted it up and unplugged the wiring and installed the new ice maker. Works like a charm. Paul

1st a changed the defrost stat. Waist of time. Realized there was no evaporator above fan. Noticed ice was builing up behind ice maker near fill tube. Found if I shut off ice maker ice wasnt building up on fan. Moved fridge out unplugged fridge unscrewed plastic nut. Turned 90 degrees. Replaced tube locked in place . Screwed nut back on . Plugged in and turned ice maker on. Wife happy ice was back on and no noise.
