my husband just took the motor off the existing maker and decided the front part of the unit was bad, I ordered it and it came in about 3 days he put the new front on it and screwed the unit back in the freezer, was about 4 screws I think. Didnt take too long but I would bet the next time it would be easier. Thank you

Followed the instructional video. It was not exactly like the unit I had but I followed as much as possible. I switched out the motor and within 3 hours had ice.

My husband had taken the ice maker out and deceide which part we would need to fix the maker. your online parts list made this possible. The service you provide was most helpful. The shippment got it to us in record time.

I didn't, the young man who does all my maintenance work did it. He's super and can do anything. Thanks for making the repairs so simple, not having to pay the going service charge....I paid my Jim $25 compared to probably $65 by a service person.

removed cover, removed (1) screw that holds unit in place, disconnected power connectors, removed (3) screws that held assembly together, attached new part with (3) screws, re-installed unit.

I researched the problems on Kitchen Aid ice makers and found that this part failed within four years of service, took a chance and ordered the "Icemaker Control and Motor Assembly", it was the cause.

I followed the Partselect how-to video on how to relace the icemaker motor and voila,2 hrs later I had ice.The repair took 15 minutes probably saved me a $75.00 service call plus the mark-up on the part.I liked the the fact that Partselect puts the percentage of the probability besides each part picture and discription. Having no experience working on an icemaker, this was a great help in ordering the right part.If I recall,the motor assembly was the culprit 60% of the time. I'm really glad I stumbled onto this web site.PS. The part was ordered on a Sunday and arrived by FedEx on Thursday.

The video shows the mechanic removing the icemaker. I did not need to do that on my Whirlpool refrigerator.

All I needed to do was unplug the refrigerator, pull the white cover off, unscrew three screws, pull the original motor unit. From there, everything was reversed and I had ice. Woohoo!

Just don't do like I did and keep opening the freezer door. It took longer because I kept looking in to see if it was making ice.

Placed ice maker control switch to OFF position. Removed wiring connection cover from ice maker. Disconnected wiring harness from ice maker. Removed old ice maker control and motor by removing motor cover and three screws. Installed new ice maker control and motor with the three screws and cover. Reconnected wiring harness and wiring connection cover. Placed ice maker control switch back to ON position.

This repair was so easy I can not believe I waited so long to do it. What was I thinking?

Repair was easy and the video on PartSelect was spot on. Basically you take the unit out of the freezer, undo three screws, take out the old motor assembly and put in the new one, replace the screws, and put back in the freezer. Simple.

This is the 4th motor on this ice maker. Sears replaced the original motor at a cost of >$300 and this is the 2nd motor I have replaced at a cost <$70.
Repair is quite easy since this was the As described on your site, simply remove the door flap, remove the covering for the wiring, remove 3 hex nuts under the floor of the unit and the entire ice maker slides out. After disconneting the wires, you simply slide the cover from the motor, remove 3 philips screws and slide the old motor out.
Align the new motor, slide in, replace 3 philips and reverse the process to place the ice maker and hex nuts.
Was "back in ice" within an hour or so.
Thanks for the instructions and video and for making the parts affordable for do-it-yourselfers!
