Use this guide to replace the ice maker in an older Whirlpool Refrigerator
The ice maker automatically produces ice which can be accessed either inside the freezer compartment, or dispensed through the freezer door.
When the ice maker fails, there is no ice available in the ice maker unit and none available to dispense.
This guide is based on a Whirlpool model ED5FTGXKQ02 refrigerator.
