Whirlpool W10190965 Icemaker for Refrigerator

Kenmore Coldspot 106-565xxxxx

The ice maker came with no instructions but if you managed to get the old one out, this one slides in fairly easily by reversing the process. There was an odd plastic piece screwed to the bottom of the unit which I removed and the bolted on the sliding shelf piece that was attached to my old unit. I plugged the unit in, slid it back into place and within 15-20 minutes the tray was already filled with water.

Make sure you let the first several batches go through and then throw away the ice to make sure you're not getting any manufacturing contaminants. I wiped the unit out a little and then let it run over night and dumped what it had created just to be paranoid.

If you replace this item and you're still having trouble, be sure to check the blinking LED on the side of the freezer that is the sensor/indicator light (assuming your model is like mine). There's a pattern to the LED blinks. On mine, it would blink twice, pause, and then repeat. If you close the flap for the sensor, the blinking would change to a solid light. If you close the flap, and you're still getting blinking then there's a good chance that the sensor is somehow blocked or no longer good. In this case, you'll need a control board which for mine was...I believe...this model: Whirlpool Refrigerator P.C. Control Board Kit 4389102

Good luck!

I used the control/motor piece from this unit (connected with three screws) to replace the one in my old ice maker (from a Kenmore 106.565xxxx side-by-side black fridge bought in 2005) and it seems to have done the trick. It is now making ice again. Even though I only used that part from this unit, it seems it was the cheapest way to get the part, plus I have the rest of the unit should I need it in the future. I'm sure this saved me a bunch of $$$ compared to having a Sears repairman do it (probably about $300).

UPDATE 2012-07-28: Still making ice & working great.

The ice maker replacement works fine. Note that our frig requires a different ice guide. That's the big white piece in the front. This part has a flat front but our OEM had a ramp guide. Without the ramp guide, your ice will eject all over the place inside your freezer. I was able to completely disassemble the old and new unit to replace the ice guide with the OEM guide. Pop the cover on the left side, remove the two silver screws only that hold the ice-tray to the motor assembly. Do not take apart the motor housing screws! Once the two screws are out, you can separate the tray assembly from the motor housing to replace the guide.
