58RIAD Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

Initially, I took the ice make out of the refrigerator. It required removing two screws in the service door and one on the right side under the ice maker to remove a plastic cover for the wiring. There are plastic retainers under the left and right sides of the ice maker that must be pressed to release them so the ice maker can be removed. I had to unplug the wiring at the upper right of the ice maker (the plug has clip that you can slide a small screw driver into to release it and pull the plug apart). Once the ice maker was out I removed the white cover on the left side and it exposed the module. I found the shaft that holds the gear was broken. When the part arrive, I removed the existing module (three screws) and installed the new module. I reversed the ice maker removal process.

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

1/4 nut driver removed 3 screws and unpluged connector at which point you can remove the entire ice maker assembly. Once it was out there was three philips screws that removed the head unit (after the fact I think I could have left the assembly in and just removed the head unit) replace old head unit with new one, making sure to aline the flip bar in the slot. Slide right in and had ice later that night. A very simple fix that once again made me look like the husbandly hero that we all strive for.

I removed three screws holding unit to the freezer wall. Disconnected power cable. Removed three screws in motor assembly. Detached the old motor assembly. Attached new assembly with same three screws. Re-mounted unit to the freezer wall and re-connected power. One hour later, I had ice again.

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.

After determining that the gear on the motor assembly had broken off, I ordered from this website. First time using Partselect, and will now always check and hopefully order here first. Repair was very easy. Pulled the old assembly off by taking out three screws, removed the broken assembly, put the new one on, replaced the three screws, and installed the icemaker back into the freezer. Took a about 30 min total. Came back in about an hour and had ice!

I actually went on your website and used the do it yourself repair video as a step by step guide to complete the repair. It was as easy in real life as it was presented on the video. I will use this website to buy and repair future issues I may face with my appiances.

a ice cube got hung up burnt motor up.trimed plastic away from water tray.restalled new unit.works great now.thanks for your help.phillip

My son's ice maker quit over 5 yrs ago. Repairman told him he would need whole unit.
I keep trying to fine the "whole unit". I finally wnet on to the part list and decided
it was probably the Modue assembly. I odereded it and guess what!!!! That was it....a $66 part!
It is working fine now!!

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.

No ice means motor and assembly 60% of the time. The hard thing was to unplug the wire plug to the refrigerator from the icemaker and to reconnect it. Its fixed for another ten years. Ez

replaced Icemaker Control and Motor Assembly

My husband and I worked together using a video I found online as a guide. The part went in easily within less than 30 minutes. I can't believe we waited so long! Within a few hours the ice maker was making cubes after a 2-3 year hiatus! Saved the estimated $280-$360 cost of the appliance repairman. We are VERY pleased.
