This ice maker is for refrigerators.
Ice maker includes the ice mold and the control device. The ice maker receives water from the water inlet valve and then holds the water in the ice mold until the water freezes solid. It then automatically ejects the ice and refills to continue the process until the ice storage in is full.
Safely store any food that could deteriorate while the power is off and unplug the refrigerator when installing this part. Wear work gloves to protect your hands.

Easy to install I even did it without my husband
Works like a charm and no issues. Been using it for a good month or so. It does take like 24 hours to produce ice as you wanna throw the first few dumps out.
Easy plug and play and 4 screws I think.

Very easy repair. Replace the icemaker not the refrigerator!
The part was easy to order and received quickly. The part fixed the problem. I saved the cost and hassle of a new refrigerator by installing the replacement icemaker. I would do it again.

Perfect Part: worked as expected
Replacement level of difficulty was a 6 out of 10. Used Whirlpool you-tube video as an initial guide to remove most of icemaker apparatus and freezer door parts. Old icemaker part could not be easily removed. However, replacement part--because I took multiple pix of old part removal--was very quick. 12 hours later--ice!!

Unfortunately did not fix
Great service, part delivers quickly and correctly. Easy installation. Unfortunately ice make still doesn't work because Maytag refrigerators suck. This is the 4th failure of this unit and 2nd replacement ice maker. Don't waste your time repairing this POS, buy a new one and NOT a Maytag (anything)

Ice Maker Quit Making Ice
In reading other post for this problem on the Parts Select web site, I checked the solenoids on the Inlet Valve (PN WPW10341320) located behind the refrigerator. A previous post indicated the solenoid should read between 500 and 1500 ohms. In checking, I read around 290 ohms, and confirmed the solenoid was ok. There were other items to ch
... Read moreeck, including the primary water inlet valve and filter. I confirmed water these were ok as the water dispenser on the unit worked properly, and the filter has been replaced on a regular basis. I Ordered a new Ice Maker (PN PS11738120) and replaced as directed in previous post. After several days, the new ice maker did not work. I removed the solenoid connector for the water dispenser which is located next to the ice maker solenoid on the inlet valve, and connected to the ice maker solenoid. I depressed the water flow switch located on the door and the solenoid opened, and dispensed water into the ice tray. I confirmed the solenoid was not the issue. I also was concerned about the ice maker over flow lever that is connected to the ice maker. this switch shuts off the ice maker if the ice level is too high. I checked the old ice maker and determined a blue and yellow wire were connected to the switch, and terminated in the buss connector that connects the ice maker and the refrigerator. in normal condition, the switch should be closed. when I checked the replacement ice maker, I found the switch was open, which kept power from turning on the water supply to the ice maker. Parts Select sent a replacement, and after installation, the unit worked properly. Issue solved.

Plug on/off wiring onto switch and press plastic cover onto inside of door. Take care that it fits inside of rubber door seal. Install four philips screws. Remove hand towel and install ice bucket making sure the ice maker is switched on. Close door. Turn on water and electricity.

Is the icemaker part w10873791 fairly easy to replace. Is it a straight pull out, or do other parts need to be removed in order to replace it?
For model number KRSC503ESS00
Hi Jerry,
Thank you for your question. There is a video on our website that you can reference on how to install the ice maker. The refrigerator in the video may not show exactly like the one you have, but it will give you a general idea on how to install the part. You will find the video under part number PS358591. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

The shut off arm on the ice maker was stuck in the up or off position and it wasn't making ice so i replaced the ice maker and the shut off arm is in the up or off position and i don't know if it is going to make ice or not. What can i do to make the shut off arm go down to the on position?
For model number WRS571CIDM02
Hi Carla,
Thank you for your question. If you have just installed a new ice maker, please allow 24 hours before it starts to make ice. The arm should be in the up position until it cycles. The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will raise the shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. When the storage bin is at full capacity, the ice maker will automatically stop ice production, but the ice maker On/Off switch will remain in the ON (up) position. Try and press the on/off switch and then lowering the arm manually to see if this helps. If it not you may have to refer to the diagnostics tech sheet that came with your refrigerator or contact Whirlpool for more information. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Ice maker not making ice. Will buying the complete ice maker fix problem or could the problem just be the water inlet valve
For model number WRS571CIDM01
Hello Ed, thank you for writing. More often than not on your model refrigerator, the Ice Maker itself would need to be replaced. This part number PS11738120 is the compatible replacement for your model. There is a chance that the water Inlet Valve, part number PS11753250 is the cause. You can inspect it for clogs and damage. I hope this helps, and good luck with your repair!

After my ice maker drops its cubes it begins to make a noise like someone knocking on the front door, very loud. Most times the cube tray does not return to the filling position. I can turn it off and later turn it on and it may make another tray of ice. But it can not be left alone.Do i need to splace the ice maker unit and how to i see the installation video?
thank you
For model number Model# 10651763510 Part# W10873791
Hello Jim, thank you for your question. Yes, it sounds like the icemaker should be replaced which is PartSelect Number: PS11738120. Unfortunately, we do not currently have installation instructions for this particular part. We do have some repair stories from other customers on our site that might help. Good luck with your repair.

Our KitchenAid fridge stopped making ice after only 3 years. Tried replacing the water inlet valve.... didn't help. we seem to get one tray of ice when the power is cycled. then it sounds like its trying to fill the tray. i don't think water ever makes it to the tray. what should i try next? thx.
For model number KRSC503ESS00
Hello Ed, thank you for inquiring. When the Ice maker is not making ice the first thing to try to replace is the Water Filter PS11701542 for your model KRSC503ESS00. The next thing would be the Ice Maker itself, part PS11738120. Hope this helps!

Hi, do you still have the tex tan saddle for sale? If so can you please give me a little more info on it such as what type of bars it's on, gullet width, and weight? May i please also have a side view picture of the profile of it to get an idea of the height of the back of the seat.
For model number WRS571CIDM01
Hello Megan, Thank you for the question. Very sorry but we do not list anything called a tex tan saddle for this Whirlpool Refrigerator. We strongly recommend you contact the manufacturer, as they would have this information in their system. Ask them for the part number you require and contact back to see if it is something we carry. Hope this

3 year old side by side. Ice dispenser does not fill with water anymore. Motor works when push dispenser button. Water is going to fridge because water dispenser works fine. Replaced the filter, tried resetting fridge by unplugging for 30 seconds then pressing ice dispenser 3 times within 15 seconds of plugging fridge back in (as seen on you tube video suggestion). What part should i check next?
