AMKIT97 (4344173) Whirlpool Ice Maker - Instructions

After removing the ice maker, I guessed that the moter could be the problem,bought new part I installed it and held my breath.thankfully that was it.thanks to parts select I saved a lot of money doing it myself.

Followed video lnstructions which were very good. Have used your web site in the past and will continue to purchase products. Thanks.

turned water off to ice maker unpluged fridg while doing repair which was such short time everything was ok removed 3 1/4 hex screws holding ice maker in position while holding ice maker in hand unpluged wiring connection for it removed old ice mold which coating had come off of which was very simple 2 philips screws which are recessed on control unit then gently wiggle assembly apart paying attention to how all the tray parts went together then reinstalling same way as they were remove very simple repair anyone should be able to do

I unpacked the motor and looked at how it was supposed to go in. I removed on screw in the right rear of the ice maker. Pushed a tab on the left of the ice maker. Removed the entire assembly and unhooked the electrical part of the ice make. unscrewed the three screws holding the motor in place and replaced the motor. Put everything in back together and in 15 minutes the familar sound of the ice maker could be heard.

There was three screws to remove to unmout the ice maker, and unplug the wire harness,then two to remove to slip in new stripper. All took about 20 mins.

Really easy. Turned the water off, unplugged the fridge and took off a few bolts and swapped the valve out for new. It was basically plug and play. The ice maker started working its next cycle.

remove the wiring cover, pulled out the ice maker shelf, unpluged the wiring. Once out I removed the control module cover and remove 3 screws and pulled out the old control module. I pushed on the new control module and reattached the 3 screws, attached the module cover and plugged wiring in, slide back into the freezer track, installed wiring cover and screw- 15 minuits tops

removed icemaker timer/controler replaced with new part.reinstaled it works perfectly

Removed 4 screws, pulled unit out of slots, unpluged control wires plug and removed from fridg. Removed 3 screws that hold the motor module to unit. Then reversed procedure and had the batch of ice cubes one hour and fifteen minutes from the time I started replacement.

Pulled off plastic cover on motor, removed 3 screws and removed old motor. installed new motor making sure control arm lined up in slot. be sure to disconnect power before doing this job !!!

removed front cover installed gearbox then attached lift arm plugged in frig turned on h2o and now i have plenty of ice ! ordered part on Saturday got part on monday in the mail and had ice by supper what a great place to shop and the service was great and parts made easy to find on the website. thank you very much! I will refer your business to all my friends.

Change motor on icemaker by taking the screw out the bottom ice tray so it will slide out once I remove the I took door off the icemaker it pops off. And follow the instructons for shower

I determined that the plastic lever inside the icemaker was broken and I found the part easaly. It was farelly inexpensive considering the important job the ice maker does, so I order it and paid for the standard, 5-8 days delivery. To my surprise, it was delivered (to my neighbors house thanks to the delivery person) the next day. Once Berry the neighbor delivered it to my house, 15 minutes later ice was being made. I had to remove one screw and losen two on top of the icemaker, disconnect power and remove the icemaker. I don't think that this step was even required but I wanted to remove all of the old ice from the maker without thawing out the freezer. Replacing the part itself also required removal of three screws. I think that almost anyone can do this easily (with or without Berry).

replaced moduale, work just like new.

My husband is a plumber...but did not have time to make the repair. So I took it upon myself!

Super Easy!

1. Unplugged Fridge
2. Unscrewed the 3 screws on motor
3. Pulled out old motor
3. Had to pour some hot water to melt ice cubes that were currently in the shoot. (because the new part would not line up correctly because of the frozen cubes inside the maker). Then soaked up all the water with towels.
4. Inserted the new motor
5. Put 3 screws back in.

ICE, ICE BABY! Within a couple hours it was dropping ice into the bucket! Husband came home, and I told him I fixed the ice maker (his expression was of dread)...and then he checked it out and all was perfect! So proud!
