WRT579SMYB00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

1)pry out the old/defective light rocker switch with a screw driver (flat head) and pull out the cables 2)unplug two connectors at the end of light rocker switch 3) connect new light rocker into two connectors 4)push the wires inside and put back new light rocker switch

I did exactly as the video showed. I popped out the old switch, disconnected the two terminals, connected the new switch and put it back. The light now works! The refrigerator is over 25 years old and the switch works! What a great website this is. Couldn't of done the job without Partselect's help.

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.

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.

Removed the ice maker (3 screws) removed the back plate (2 screws) Remove the bracket holding the fan in (2 screws) Remove the rubber mounts on the old motor and the fan itself off the old motor. Then put it all back together in reverse order.

I removed the screws on top of the refrigerator and the freezer door, lifted the fresh food door off bottom hinge laid it on a covered floor, used a pair of wire cutters to cut old gasket. then pulled the gasket straight out all the way around. then I started on one corner using a putty knife to push the new gasket under plastic trim, then put gasket on opposite corner at top of door then did the same with other two corners, then used putty knife to go all the way around sliding gasket under trim. was easy.

unplug, turn water off, remove ice maker & unplug,remove back panel remove old fan unit & unplug remove fan remove fan blades just pull off install new fan, put fan blades on new fan & install on bracket & re install plug in re install back panel. plug in ice maker re install ice maker . turn water back on plug refrigerator back in ( quite easy )

I removed the 3 screws but also removed the front screw of the left bin rail. This gave more room to maneuver I/M into position. The cover shown with the enclosed instructions does not show an Ice Plus (blower assy.). By removing the two mounting clips fron old unit and snapping on new one blower unit fits as original. Overall a very simple and quick repair. Note: None of the cables Inclosed were used as my harness does not unplug from wall. Thanks for the quick service PartsSelect.

Turned off circuit breaker. That turns off both power and water. No need to move refrigerator. I backed out the 2 top screws about a quarter inch and then removed bottom screw with a quarter inch nut driver. I then lifted Ice Maker clear of the two top screws and lowered it enough to unclip the power connection. The new Ice Maker was wired correctly for my refrigerator so all I had to do was reconnect the power connection and mount new Ice Maker on the two top screws and install the bottom screw. It took about two hours for the new Ice Maker to start it's cycle but after it did, it worked GREAT. Part Select service was OUTSTANDING, ordered part one day and received it in two days and I live in a very remote location. Recommend PartSelect to everyone.
