Ice maker repair - How to remove Whirlpool Kitchenaid Kenmore

[@markconfer9111]

This video has saved me multiple times to repair icemaker. Just replaced motor assembly last time for maybe $15 from amazon. Great work!

[@13572danube]

Well done. I used a 1/4 inch nut driver and didn't have to remove the top shelf. It took me longer to watch your vid than it did to pull the icemaker. Thanks

[@nickgarcia7281]

Excellent video. One suggestion before you start the removal of the ice maker is to tape the flapper, that is on the left, back flat against the freezer wall. This will preclude you from inadvertantly popping it off when you are working to remove/install the ice maker. The flapper and it's supporting spring are very fragile and can pop off easily. Also, after finishing your installation, be sure to reset your ice maker (slide switch on the right) by turning it off for ~15 seconds and then turning it back on. This will reset the logic of the send and receive logic boards.

[@jgrigg4102]

Short and sweet with easy to understand and see instructions! Perfect saved me an hour of head scratching and probably broken plastic components.

[@OBrienKevin]

Exactly what I was looking for. The container that accepts the water to funnel into the tray was frozen over. Thanks for posting!

[@309CyrusL]

My problem too

[@chriskeiser9053]

Thank you! Went on vacation and shut off the main water and left the ice maker on. Next week as we used up the ice I noticed it was making any ice but could hear for the ice maker calling for water but receiving no water. Went to you tube and found your video that made sense for my problem and lo and behold it was the problem and the fix...you saved me $100. Thanks again.....geo

For my whirlpool fridge ice maker removal: 1/4" is the size of the nut head of the first screw removed in the video. Front door flap removal is carefully bending plastic hinge, not a separate tab. When pulling ice maker out there are plastic pins on both sides to push up. Disconnecting wire connection was most difficult part of my ice maker removal. Thanks very much for posting this video, I had no idea how to get my whirlpool ice maker out.

TY

[@Rideables]

Just what I needed, straight and to the point! Thank you!

[@jonathanb.814]

Dude I was able to fix my leaking ice maker because of you. The hopper where the full tube flows was completely frozen and causing water to not flow into the tray. Thanks for the quality video.

[@kathytolonen8944]

Thank you very much for your video. You taught me how to take apart the ice maker and I found that the filler hose was frozen so I thawed it out and it's working great.

[@monkeyb1820]

great video. It helped me replace my kenmore icemaker. I didn't know for certain if I needed new electronic sensors or a new icemaker, but luckily guessed right on the icemaker. For 6 months or so, I would hear it sort of making nonstop grinding sounds, and I'd open the freezer and see like one cube popping up and blocking it from working right. I'd break it with my hand and then it would start working properly again. Then eventually it just made grinding sound and stopped putting out cubes. Something about the freezing+heating element wasn't working right, and it would get blocked. But new icemaker seems to be working. Original icemaker lasted just shy of 12 years.

[@davidnee6157]

Thank You!! After coming home from vacation [ incoming power was shutoff ] Turn everything back on, the water line inside the freezer froze up. Once I got the unit out, easy fix!! Video is 10 years old , and still helping!! 👍

[@PasadenaFamily]

Same situation. How did you fix the frozen hose? Just thaw it out?

[@Schroonman]

Thank you! Had to buy new optic board on Amazon and a new ice maker as well but after a total of $75, all is well!!! Thanks for showing me how to remove it bro! Great job!

[@maxzewi]

Adam, Many thanks. Found the ice maker was frozen up jabout 2 hours before a party. Couldn't get access tp the ice dam. Heat Gun was not effective. Found your video, removed the icemaker. Two minutes under hot running water and problem solved. Good video, just the thing that I needed.

[@jgarza00]

Thank you for the tutorial. I opened up the side panel to find the disc broken from the arm. Ordered a new ice maker and luckily it's in stock locally so I'll be picking it up tomorrow. I first checked the water line to make sure it wasn't frozen and then followed your video. You're amazing!

[@dorothycoop]

Wow. If you knew how unhandy I was, you'd know how amazing it was for me to be able to actually do this on my own. I couldn't have done it without the video. Thank you, Adam!!

[@azjd6158]

Thanks a lot for the video!!! After watching it, I thought, "Even I can do that," and ordered a new icemaker ($71.50) from Amazon and just installed it myself (had to re-use the old bracket). The first cubes hit the bottom of the door bin a few minutes ago. A repairman would have cost over $200. I wish I had this much luck with my other DIY projects :-) Also, my dogs thank you - their "treat machine" is back in business.

[@tsmith8494]

Good video. Clear and to the point. The downspout for the ice maker had an ice plug in it so I wanted to remove the ice maker before warming up the tube.

[@rlintr3101]

Thanks! Great video - especially the "trick-shot" from inside the freezer!

[@zcr7473]

9 years later helped me fix my ice maker. Thanks!

[@YouberTuber1000]

THANK YOU!! I watched a number of videos but yours was the clearest with the best instructions. Much appreciated!

[@loniawalter9077]

Thank you so much! I was stumped on how to get this ice maker out.

[@CharlieTechie]

Thank you, Thank you. I have been fiddling with this thing for an hour, you solved it in minutes.

[@terryf5131]

Focused and right to direct instruction.... excellent...thank you.🤠 Oh..I meant to ask you if I need to shut the water supply off... it's a little hard to get to on my fridge...thanks again.

[@kingsgirl1182]

This is awesome. Needed this to repair my Dads ice maker. Thank you for sharing!

[@lbondarenko5176]

Great video. Took out my ice maker, water tube was frozen up. Working great now thanks!

[@K1NEW]

Excellent video. Right to the point and we can actually see what you are doing! Well done!

[@jaws1246]

Dude your video was by far one of the easiest and best DIY videos I've ever seen! Thanks! Subscribing to your channel.

[@bmeahl]

Thank you for posting this. It helped me not overthink this one!

[@robertgonzales621]

Great video. This was exactly what I was looking for. I had a frozen inlet hose. Without this video it would have taken me a lot longer to remove the unit.

[@colleengarren1462]

Thank you for the great video! This is the exact setup in my KitchenAid freezer also.

[@FireeIced]

10 years ago! wow. Had earlier realized my fridge is 10 years old, so makes sense. Got it out, looks all frozen up, so have it outside thawing out, to try again. Thanks!

[@tucsonstorms2860]

Thanks, your video was great. Removed mine in no time and it was frozen over. I am letting it thaw now.

[@markemetcalf]

Thanks a lot for the video!!! You probably saved me some broken plastic.

[@pacmanma]

Thanks for the video.... Fill cup is frozen solid on mine so it's dripping water all over the freezer. Hopefully a quick thaw is all it needs.

[@mytunesmokey]

AdamDIY Thank you so much. Watched another dude who simply reached in and pulled the ice maker out. Had to watch it several time to determine there was a release on the left side. Right side would not budge. Thanks to your vlog in 15 seconds I had the answer. Some people just don't know how to present a teaching vlog. Leave no step unmentioned or what's the purpose. I will unfollow the other guy for sure. You get an ATTABOY from me.

[@mikeinbako]

Wish I had watched this video before I started taking everything apart! Great job.

[@Coreyanda]

Thanks so much for this! We could NOT figure out how to remove it. Yay you!!!!

[@dalehumphries5097]

Thank you for making this video!! This exactly what I needed to see.

[@bill2339]

Thanks for this instructional video and for the link to it on the video instructing people what to do from the end of this point on.

[@chris407x]

Perfect video! Thanks so much. This worked for my whirlpool (same design)

[@erikjohansen9724]

Glad I found this. I removed too many screws before I saw this.

[@jonb219]

Great video. Thanks for posting it. Saved me a ton of time and potentially a service call.

[@derpyverter2537]

Thanks for this, you just saved me a ton of trouble.

[@kensmith9431]

FYI. You do not need to remove the two screws holding the "flapper" door, as it has enough wiggle room to get it lose from side to side, leaving the mount behind. On mine, since the water supply tube, that part of the bin also gets a clog and freezes, I also leave the back right ice maker mounting screw out, since it too is not really needed understanding that the icemaker is still held in place by the plastic latch

[@angelochavez6367]

excellent video. that is my ice maker.. I will now be able to fix my unit w/your help/Thank you

[@scottdickinson6911]

Thank you so much! This was exactly what I needed to see!

[@randyjohnson4708]

Thanks for you demonstration. Very helpful.

[@saharts]

You’re a good teacher.

[@tedbrown98]

Thank you so much! Mine completely froze over and the only way to fix it was to thaw the tray out but I couldn't figure out how to remove it.

[@Anacondacopper]

Thanks for posting this. You helped with three things. Thanks for saving me $200.00

[@pbrenn411]

[@feldwebel999]

Thanks! I have to remove mine to melt off the frozen water just like the one in this video!

[@trianj12]

Great video. Make quick work of removal and inspection. Thanks

[@tumitran]

Hello, thank you for the great video. Do you know if it’s possible to convert the ice maker shelf to a normal shelf?

[@brexman]

Great video, thanks! Had one question. I am having trouble finding the right unit to replace. Mine looks exactly like yours but when I enter my model number it says I should have a different part?? Do you know where you got your part? Model Number?

[@erikjohansen9724]

Yes or a link to the thing on Amazon.

[@PanameraTSE]

Thanks for this video. It helped a lot.

[@emadr1]

Thank you Sir!

[@SQTierHog]

[@SQTierHog]

7 years ago you shared this!

[@wharrison7131]

Thanks!

[@robertriedinger9695]

thanks very helpful

[@livinginsouthernmaine]

thank you so much!

[@desyreecardona6607]

Need to ask you. What means when the light on the side is red and blinking? My ice maker do the ice but when I try to take ice from the door you heard the ice maker dispenser but the ice doesnt come out.

[@DCS026]

Your the man!

[@philipvandoren8435]

i have this model and my clear supply line on the back top of the fridge broke off while moving the unit. i need to replace that line do you have a video on that?

[@MacBjorn]

thank you, we ice again

[@Ledsrule1]

Thanks.

[@aaronwaters7824]

Is there simply an on off switch for this model?

[@KathieBushman]

Thanks! Before I remove it though....my light is no longer on that shows the ice maker is on. Do you know why that would be? Here's what happened. I put a package on top of the ice in the bucket. Forgot to move it. When the ice was being ejected I could hear it wasn't going where it was suppose to. I found that frozen ice had been backing up behind the ice maker. I reached in and took all of the ice out. While I was at it I removed the bucket and thawed out the built up ice in there. Started fresh. When I put the bucket back in the ice maker dumped out some ice one time, but then it stopped. Now the light isn't on either and it's not working. Well, I took it out and let the ice melt. Looked iced over. Checked inside housing and looked like new. Put back in but still not working and still no light on the on/off panel. Ideas?

[@x8enrage8x]

Thanks that helps

[@snickyoda]

Is it ok to remove and not replace? I need the extra room in the freezer. Thank you.

[@CAsh4kiDZ]

Thank you as well!

[@mugwump20061]

Thanks, Buddy!

[@racedwg]

Thanks for grate vid!

[@christiansanich1116]

Thank you for this

[@bayareatutors]

Wow, I am the least handy guy in the world and even I could follow these instructions. Granted, it took me 1/2 hour to replace that Whirlpool module, but at least it's done. (Fingers crossed...hope my ice maker will resume making ice again)

[@ChristianBorchgrevinkVigeland]

Is this the same for 120 and 230 volt systems?

[@PasadenaFamily]

So how do you fix the unit? Where's the rest of the video LOL. Is there a part number for my KitchenAid KSBS25 IVWH00

[@stevethorell]

Thanks

[@Tabsimone]

What if there is no latch but you have those two screws in the back?

[@BeaconRI]

if water comes pouring out of my ice maker, what part is broken?

[@kathyjean1956]

thank you thank you thank you!

[@hijuetilde]

thanks you save my live

[@fallfree3578]

how do i put the plastic piece back on

[@AdamL.719]

Where do i find a replacement?

[@lavanicm]

Good video I gave you a like..

[@rneoaz]

I did the same on tutorial vid. Now my water doesn't come out to fill tray? Do you have a suggestion?

[@AdamDIY]

Did your water freeze in the black rubber tube? Look and see if ice is inside.

[@wkdemt6556]

AdamDIY This is what mine keeps doing, the water freezes in the tube, I thaw it out,runs great then one week later does the same-thing over and over.

[@jeffwinney3673]

Hey Adam, what's the best way to check that tube? Do you have to turn the fridge/freezer off? Is there another way to check? Everything else seems to be in order. Thanks.
