How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6017832 / WPW10251076 Icemaker Assembly

After doing all the tests to determine the problem it turned out that it was likely the motor in the ice maker. Rather than fix the immediate problem with a new motor and for just a few dollars more since they're prone to failure anyway, I eliminated potentially future problems by just replacing the whole ice maker. Money well spent and my part arrived the day after I ordered it. 

The icemaker for this model Whirlpool refrigerator is an all-in-one integrated unit so it was simple to replace the old with the new. A total of 2 screws and 2 electrical connectors was all it took to make the replacement. Ten minutes tops. It did take a while (30-45 minutes) before the new unit began to make ice.

There were no videos on AppliancePartsPros.com showing how to fix this, only a video of an IN-FREEZER icemaker, which did not apply to my model at all. Whirlpool company was virtually worthless with no assistance, no videos or even useful schematics. I basically used common sense, and some trial and error in deciding which screws to remove and which to leave alone. I used a 1/4 inch nut driver to remove the two back screws holding the icemaker in place. The electrical connections were simple one way only, press/release. This is something the average homeowner can do himself and avoid a large repair bill. 

Replaced it. None of the videos showed removal of the ice maker in the door. To remove cover take our ice holder, remove two screws in front, remove 4 screws in base over stirring arm, remove base and cover. Pull cover bottom out slightly, then lift straight up so tabs release from slots at top. Remove 2 screws on ice maker and power connectors. Reassembly is the reverse. 

Replaced Ice maker but nothing for almost 48 hours, then it magically started making ice cubes.
