WRT348FMEZ00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

First I unpluged the refriderator and removed the old ice maker. I then just simply installed the new ice maker. It was just that simple. The next morning I woke up with a full tray of ice.

it was very very simple, it took only three screws
using socket set.
I removed the old one and put the new one in place , connect electric connection in 2 seconds snapping it toghether, that is all to it.
the hardest part is waiting on the ice to be made , which it took three to four hours for the first batch.
I am in the medical profession, IF I CAN do it , everyone CAN!!!!!!!!

install ice maker 2 screws wire harness pluged in done

Removed two screws, pulled the element out and disconnected the wire harness. Reversed the procedure and we were one.
Kept a close watch n the ice maker to make sure we didn't have another flood. The first time an ice cube stuck between the metal bale and the side of the freezer--we had about 50 gallon of water on the floor. Thought we had it fixed and a few days later another flood. Decided to replace the unit and it is working great...Hopefully no more floods.

The ice maker is held in by three screws. There is an electrical connection. Also, there is a water line to the rear of the unit.
The replacement unit had clear instructions and a selection of parts to match the defective device.
Hint: don't discard the old unit until the new unit is configured for installation.
Turned on the water and the electricity to the fridge, and had ice in several hours.

I just removed three screws from the old ice maker and disconnected a single set of wires. All I had to do was reconnect the new set of wires and screw it back into the side of the freezer. Anybody could do this repair.

With a little investigation, I found that the ice tray had corroded, and the increased friction was keeping the ice from dumping out properly. It also had apparently damaged the gear motor, and the timing of the ice ejector was off. I went to the Part Select site and found that the icemaker specifically for my refrigerator was significantly more expensive than the universal Whirlpool replacement icemaker, but the two looked similar, so I ordered the universal replacement. When it arrived about 3 days later, I was able to easily remove the standard parts and replace them with the plastic parts and wire harness that were unique to my refrigerator. They fit perfectly, and I had the new icemaker installed in only about 20 minutes, including time spent to remove and replace the plastic parts

First removed 3 screws and took out old ice maker, punched out water inlet tube area in new ice maker connected the electric and screwed it back in. Within an hour...heard the ice drop. (I did not do the repair, my boyfriend did, however I think I could have done it.

i can't believe it was that easy, just removed the screws, pulled elements out disconnected wires well it seemed to easy so had to read the directions or it would have took only 10 minutes. to do this job. thanks so much for your web sight, the repair man said it would probably be 200.00 or so

yea right 100.00 and its making all the ice we need thanks

It was very fast and easy. Two screws to take of the ice door cover. the ice maker itself just slid out and all I did was disconnnect the wiring harness. Unscrewed the plastic bottom case and screwed onto the new one. Attached the harness and slid it back in.

use kitchen knife to pry out. replaced switch assemble and pressed back into place. Could not have done this with out help from previous customers. Thanks

Since I have All Whirlpool appliances in the home, the only one not a Whirlpool was a counter top dishwasher that looks exactly like it could be a Whirlpool and so not to be the odd unit out, I labeled it with with a Whirlpool logo nameplate on the face of the door. Now everything matches perfectly and all in the same exact color white too.

Just measured and marked where the plate was to be located, cleaned that part of the surface, peeled the backing and carefully placed the logo name plate in place and pressed it on. Voila. Done and looks original as well. Call me the big, deep fakearooski.

unscrewed 4-5 screws; unplugged; attached arm; installed; reverse pattern. truly easy. cost 1/3 what repair man quoted me. this is easy!

Removed one screw on cover covering wires on old ice maker,disconnected plug, removed ice maker, checked connector to make sure there was120vac, Power supply was good, installed new ice maker, connected plug. Works great.
Part to fix ice maker is very expensive, complete unit only $15 more and it has a one year warranty.

I first replaced the switch and had no results, I then ordered the Light Socket Kit, and because I had the experience of removing the panel to replace the switch, it took a few minutes to remove the two screws behind the panel, removing the temperature control knobs and then releasing the face plate which is secured by tabs at the bottom. The kit came with extra connectors in case they were needed, but they were not in my case and so I pulled off the wires, pushed the old socket out and the new one in. Attaching the wires to the correct pins, I screwed in the light bulb to be sure that the fix was correct and determining that, I replaced the screws that held the panel in place. Voila, I'm a happy camper who found some outdated jars in the back corners of the newly lighted shelves.
