How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6017832 / WPW10251076 Icemaker Assembly

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. 

Removed old and installed new, Your video was excellent and very helpful 

I ordered the icemaker assembly from Appliance Parts Pros and installed it in less than 15 minutes. Everything I read said that it might take as long as 24 hours for the maker to make ice. Not in this case. It dumped its first full tray in about 30 minutes and has been going strong ever since. That's what I like about OEM parts--they work like they're supposed to. Thanks APP.com for having the part I needed. 

Bought replacement part, after watching YouTube video by AppliancePartsPROs.com Thanks for helping us do an easy home repair and avoiding an expensive service call. The refrigerator is 12 years old, but you had the ice-maker assembly and the reference numbers for the older part matching the available replacement part. Cut power and had the old one removed, and new one installed in about 20 minutes, Video was a big help. New fridge will cost over $1,000, repaired this one for under $200. This one is making ice and doing great again! 

First, I ordered a part from appliance parts pros, a water valve... I replaced it using the appliance parts pros video... very easy. didn't work... after looking at other videos, I decided to try to replace the icemaker assembly after looking at the video on appliance parts pros.com... very easy to replace with video... it worked! Ice bucket was full in two days.
