Introduction
Use this guide to replace the icemaker assembly in your Whirlpool Refrigerator.
The icemaker assembly is a combination of parts that creates ice. If your refrigerator isn't producing ice, or is producing too much ice, then your icemaker might be broken.
This guide will work for most Whirlpool refrigerators. This guide is written with a model WRS315SDHW refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
Note: Some photos show the doors removed for clarity purposes. Removing them is not required and will not change the procedure.
