Whirlpool Older Model Side‑By‑Side Refrigerator Auger Motor Replacement

はじめに

Use this guide to replace the auger motor in an older Whirlpool side‑by‑side refrigerator. The procedure involves disconnecting the motor assembly, removing the drive blade, and detaching the motor from the assembly.

The auger motor drives the ice auger in the ice bucket to dispense ice through the door.

If the auger motor fails the refrigerator will not dispense ice, either cubed or crushed.

This guide is based on a Whirlpool Model ED5FTGXKQ02 Refrigerator.
