Customer Questions and Answers for Ice Maker by Whirlpool

Hello Joe,

I'm assuming that the unit you bought the ice maker for has no ice maker in it now. If this is the case, you should have bought an ice maker kit W11700559 instead of a replacement ice maker. The ice maker kit includes the parts necessary to install an ice maker in a unit that previously had no ice maker. The water supply line attaches to the water valve at the rear of the unit and the wiring should be present already and only needs connected, (one two wire jack). The water line goes up the rear of the unit and connects to the fill tube which goes through the rear freezer all to the fill cup on the ice maker assembly. The ice maker screws to the wall and the wires from the ice maker plug into a connector that is behind a plastic cover that says something to the effect of "Ice Maker Ready". The ice maker kit even comes with an ice bucket for the ice to drop into as the ice maker harvests it.
