Whirlpool Refrigerator Auger Motor Replacement
Introducción
Ir al paso 1Use this guide to replace the auger motor in your Whirlpool Refrigerator.
The auger motor drives ice toward the dispenser. If your refrigerator isn't making or dispensing ice properly, the auger motor 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.
