58RIAD Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

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

We had to take the cover off, remove screws, take off old control and replace items in reverse order. We had the arm in the wrong position at first and it raised the arm and shut off. We redid the position of the arm and everything has been fine since.

Trouble shooted system and determined it to be Icemaker Control and Motor assembly. Removed and replaced assembly, but still would not make ice. Determined it to be the optics. Ordered Electronics Control Boards-Emitter and Receiver and removed and replaced both. Everything works now. Partsselect.com got my parts to me very quickly and their website helped me troubleshoot and select the correct parts.

i am not a mechanic so i tried to follow the video instruction. i am afraid that i am going to break a few parts or not able to put it back so i decided to follow instruction from other customer.
i used a phillip screwdriver removed the 3 screws after i turned off the refrigerator and remove the white cap that cover the motor assembly. the trick is to remove the motor assembly. it took me some times to shake the unit, remove the on and off handle from hole of the unit and carefully with little force pulling and shaking the unit it finally came off the ice maker unit. i placed the new unit by pushing it to the ice maker, replaced the on and off handle back in the motor assmble hole, screw the 3 screws back, cover the unit back, plcae the handle bar down to the on position. plug the refrigerator back and it started making ice after one hours. not quite easy.

Replaced control and motor assembly ordered from you and unit started working.

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.

Removed end cover from ice maker assembly. Motor driven wheel had broken from its plastic shaft. Disconnect power source. Using philips screwdriver, remove three screws from corners of motor mold and remove mold. Per instruction on end cover, rotated strips arm ice ejection tines until they pointed in the two-o'clock position. Dry fit (without screws)new motor mold assembly to ensure that the shaft with flat engaged the socket with flat and that the new part assembly seated flat on icemaker housing re-install 3-screws. Re-connect power source. After 2 hrs. , Confirm that ice cubes are being produced.

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

Removed the single screw holding the ice maker in Place and unlugged wire ,then removed cover off of the end of ice maker and the three screws holding the actuator onto ice maker and installed new one. Reinstall ice maker......works great

After reading solutions to my problem on your website I ordered the part which fixes 50% of the problems. When I got back after Christmas the part had arrived. I removed the Icemaker and replaced the part. It took aprox. 20 minutes for the job. It was easy. Now we have ice cubes again.

followed instructions from Partselect on- line video.

easy as pie everthing good thanks

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.

The icemaker assembly came out after I unplugged the electrical supply and I cleaned the prongs on the heater and put it together and slid in the whole module back and plugged it in. Works like a charm. No tools were needed.

I opened the front of the ice maker and saw that a piece of plastic was broken off. It was the piece that connected up to the ice ejector. Since it was broken, the motor would turn to eject the ice, but it could not drive the ejector. All I really need to replace was that small piece of plastic, but the individual pieces are not sold separate. I had to by the complete motor assembly, but it was much easier to replace the entire piece. Cost me about $60. A repair man would have charged that and much more.
