58RIAD Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

The video shows the mechanic removing the icemaker. I did not need to do that on my Whirlpool refrigerator.

All I needed to do was unplug the refrigerator, pull the white cover off, unscrew three screws, pull the original motor unit. From there, everything was reversed and I had ice. Woohoo!

Just don't do like I did and keep opening the freezer door. It took longer because I kept looking in to see if it was making ice.

watched the vcr. tape THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DAVE

exactly like the video clip that the website had for the part - very easy!!

I first determined it was the motor and not the electronics which had failed a couple years ago. I watched the video posted on your site on how to do the repair, so didn't have to make the mistake of calling a repair person so they could take two weeks to do it, and charge four times what it cost me to do it myself. The part arrived in only two days from my order. The hardest part for me was waiting for the ice to thaw that had frozen the unit to the side of the freezer. Once out, it took all of 10 minutes to remove the three screws holding in the motor, and put the new one in. As soon as I hooked it back up, and turned on the water supply and power, it filled with water and in less than an hour, was harvesting ice again. Your site is a Godsend. I felt really good about myself after this was done... as did my wife!

Watched a quick tutorial by Virtual Repairman and determined that my Ice Maker Control and Motor Assembly was most likely the root cause, as a matter of fact it was listed as the problem 63% of the time. I removed the Ice Maker as instructed , pulled the motor free and sure enough, I immediatley saw that the motor had shorted out. I ordered the assembly suggested for this model and when it arrived, (correct I might add)I immediatley installed it. Bled the system and within an hour or so the unit was making ice again.I have to admit though, I had my doubt's about the part showing up correctly, but they did. To sum it all up, when I need an appliance or electronic part, this is the first place I'm going to look.

I followed the Partselect how-to video on how to relace the icemaker motor and voila,2 hrs later I had ice.The repair took 15 minutes probably saved me a $75.00 service call plus the mark-up on the part.I liked the the fact that Partselect puts the percentage of the probability besides each part picture and discription. Having no experience working on an icemaker, this was a great help in ordering the right part.If I recall,the motor assembly was the culprit 60% of the time. I'm really glad I stumbled onto this web site.PS. The part was ordered on a Sunday and arrived by FedEx on Thursday.

This was very easily repaired in about 15 minutes and only using a phillips head screw driver to remove 3 screws. The plate pulls off easily and there are no wires on this particular ice maker, only male and female clips . You may have to jiggle the metal wire ice on-off bar. The new face plate is all one piece and is installed the same way very easily. Plugged the refrigerator back in and had half a bucket of ice the next morning!!!

Disconnect power cord turn off water supply. Remove four screws on bottom of ice maker unit.Then look for locking clips on bottom of @ near supports and remove unit sliding & cocking until you can turn motor toward you cord is just long enough pry motor control off with hand or flat blade screw driver buy pressing on side edges.Remove motor from unit by removing three screws & pull out of plug on one corner. [side by side unit not freezer over fridge like video].

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

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 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!

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

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!!

Repair was easy and the video on PartSelect was spot on. Basically you take the unit out of the freezer, undo three screws, take out the old motor assembly and put in the new one, replace the screws, and put back in the freezer. Simple.
