How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP4359694 / W10190935 Ice Maker Control Module

Ordered the control module and watched the video. In two days we had ice. Thanks so much. 

By replacing the control module assembly. I chatted with the friendly / knowledgeable customer service rep and watched the video provided online by appliancepartspros.com and although it wasn't the exact ice maker I had it showed me the basics I needed to remove and install the new control module. First and foremost, remove power from the appliance. You will need a nut driver (forgot size) and Phillips head screw driver. On my model, remove the front cover from the ice maker (there is no arm) I located 1 nut bolt on the right backside securing the ice maker and once removed, the ice maker slid right out on its two (2) guide rails. (I did wiggle it back and forth while pulling it out). Locate the control modules three (3) Phillips screws and remove, oh and by the way, do not place the screws anywhere near the kitchen sink... Remove the suspect control module and install the new control module securing the three (3) Phillips screws. No need to make any adjustments on the new control module. Slide the ice maker back onto the guide rails and push into place and secure with the nut bolt and install the front cover. Restore power to the appliance. Note: My model uses an infrared light source (beam) across the ice bin to the receiver side. The receiver will give 2 blinks while the beam is blocked e.g. when the ice bin is full. Hope this was helpful.. 

We replace the motor assembly and have the ice maker back. 

Ordered new component that went on end of ice maker that had a new plastic gear and spline, removed old end control module and installed new module ordeerd from APP.com 

Purchased the controller and replaced it. That was the problem, everything working great. 

Replaced the motor module 

I checked several youtube videos and got out my tools. I could have dispensed with a lot of fussing around if I had been familiar with the way the ice maker works. I froze and thawed the bimetal unit and it worked good. I could feel the heater work when I jumpered the correct pins. The water valve worked when I jumpered the correc pins. Had to be the control module. Oddly, it worked but the motor wasn't able to run the cam when it engaged the ice ejector. It was weak but not dead (yet). The new control module fixed it right up. I spent wayyyy more time on diagnosis than the job. Changing out the controler is a 10 minute job, tops.

During the worse heat wave this summer in Maryland, our ice maker decided to break. My husband works in construction and needs to bring ice to work everyday just to survive the heat. We watched the video on line on how to replace the ice maker motor, then ordered the part and it arrived in three days! We replaced the motor for the icemaker in less than 15 minutes! Thank you appliancepartspros.com! You helped to save the day.
