How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP4135008 / D7824706Q Ice Maker

Ordered a new icemaker-You tube videos sure helped with the simple installation. 

I found AppliancePartsPros.com in minutes they responded in less than 48 hours. My parts were at my door to my surprise. Went to install the icemaker and noticed the one they sent me would not fit again. I emailed AppliancePartsPros.com, they replied that I could use my old harness. I installed it by watching the video and am very happy with the success. I would recommend AppliancePartsPros.com to all of my friends and family and anytime I need a part I will definitely use APP 

Ordered a genuine Whirlpool part from AppliancePartsPros.com. It was worth every penny. No leaking, cubes are all separate. Lesson learned that you get what you pay for. I will stop buying generic junk ice makers from online retailers and come back here if/when I need a replacement. 

Replaced the icemaker on my Kenmore refrigerator. New icemaker part went in easily and 3-4 hours later it was producing ice. 

Replaced the ice maker with a new one from AppliancePartsPros.com. The video on their website made it so easy and quick. 

Replaced my broken icemaker with the part shown above. The videos are somewhat helpful in that you know the order of steps and tools needed. My particular appliance had a cage that held the icemaker in place. Only two screws needed to be removed from the icemaker. Take my advice and remove the white cover from the front of the broken icemaker first. This makes the removal much easier! Same on the way back in: put the white cover on last after you have the screws on the icemaker nice and tight. And wipe your grimy handprints off the cover before you close the door. 

Replaced part in icemaker. Works perfect now! 

Replaced it 

Searched for comparable replacement on site and confirmed it was right using my model number which raised my confidence. Because of the age of my refrigerator, I was concerned that the repair part would not be available. 

I watched the video and it was spot on. I ran into two differences which was only a minor problem. First, I have a bottom freezer so I had some trouble taking the drawer out but I eventually figured it out and needed some help from my son to do it. Second, the water feeder hose apparently was different than the model in the video. My original icemaker had a funnel type attachment that the hose needed to go through. In order for it to fit properly I had to remove a tab on the plastic reservoir. That potential difference was not mentioned in the video. Overall the project was easy enough and not too hard to figure out how to deal with the differences. I am not very handy or mechanical and was able to figure out.
