WRS311SDHT09 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

The best part of the repair was how easy it was to find and order the part. Instead of searching the parts houses around town I just went to the PartSelect web site, quickly found and ordered the part in about five minutes, received the part the next day at my home and was ready to make the repair. Wow! What a pleasure for something to work the way it was meant to. Removed old switch located by prying out with sharp knife or screwdriver. Don't worry about breaking it or cracking plastic. Disconnect(unplug) wires from back of switch. Replace (plug-in) wires on back of new switch. Insert in location of old switch. Finisheed.

installed new parts

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

It was a breeze to remove and replace. Made even easier by the previous DIY guys posts. Make sure you turn the nut at the end of the shaft clockwise to loosen. Taking a picture of the blades for ice crushing before removal for future reference is a great idea. It wasn't hard at all. Just take your time.

We took the icemaker apart, and took pictures of how it looked before so we knew how to put it back together, we were really surprised how easy it was to put back together, I will be ordering other parts from this company, I got my part in 1-2 days by Fedex, I will be telling others about this company

Had to replace the auger drum. Went fairly smooth. The video that was linked next the part was a big help, especially when all the blades of the ice chopper came off of the shaft at once and I needed to get them back in the correct order. I did a freeze frame on the moment in the video to figure out the order.

I began by removing the ice maker and storing the ice. The part did not come with instructions so I began taking the ice maker apart. I ran into problems rather quickly so I went to the "part select" web site and there was a video with instructions on removal and reinstallation of the auger. It was a breeze after that. These guys are obviously professionals!

Just like the video showed me.It still does not work. Have to turn it off and on to make it start up.I also replaced thermostat in freezer. Does not work.

Ordered part, watched video. Had a problem with reassembly of ice crushing assembly, did a re-do as one of the blades had dislodged from the drive shaft!

This was not a hard repair. Just remove all the screws and slide out the old Auger drum. It is always good to take a picture first incase you have any problems putting it back together. Be careful to put the ice crushers back in the same order and make sure you look at how the "door spring" connects before pulling it apart.

removed ice bin from freezer then removed front from ice bin then all i had to do was remove e clamp from end of shaft that made it possible for me to remove the ice crusher parts then slide off the drum. all that was left was to put back together.

removed ice storage drawer, removed dispensing shaft from storage drawer, replaced plastic auger and reassembled.

quick and easy....

Repair was easy enough, take apart and put it back in reverse.

Not so easy as others have described. I kept the parts off the auger together in my hand as I replaced the drum. Thanks to the people who mentioned the nut being left handed. Taking a picture before dis-asembly saved me. I would never have gotten it back together otherwise.

removed six screws removing the cover and exposing the shaft & auger.

I then had to remove the snap ring & undid the end nut that has left handed threads.removed the 6 auger plates and then replaced all parts in reverse order of their removal.
