Not exact but makes better cubes
Wiring harness a bit longer than old and had to loop it to fit. Also had to offset old mounting bracket to new one to get a good mount. Makes good ice, no more "hollow" cubes and ice tray ice buildup.

Faulty water-intake valve
Water Intake valve for icemaker in Amana refrigerator We found that the icemaker was not getting water due to a faulty intake valve. The original valve had a plastic coupling on the vinyl tube leaving the valve. The replacement valve had a quick connect coupling. Replacing the valve with the new part gave a significant leak. After
... Read morediscussion and viewing YouTube directions multiple times, the part was returned; and a new part was sent. It also leaked. After searching, a video was found that dealt with the no-fail quick connect. The problem was not in the quick connect but in the tube from our refrigerator which had a spring inside the last five inches of the tube. This aided the prevention of a leak when the original plastic coupling had been installed. SOLUTION: Removing the part of the tube with the spring using a clean cut allowed the quick connect to work preventing the leak. This needs to be mentioned in the how-to videos to save others having a problem. Also, these instructions with the part would be helpful.
The longer than usual repair times shown above were the result of the spring insert in the plastic water tube of the refrigerator. Nowhere in the how-to instructions were references made of either an insert in the tube or quick connect procedures.
We were well pleased with the support rendered by the PartSelect staff.

We thought the water valve was bad, but it wasn't The problem was the ice maker. We sent the valve back for a refund, and in addition there was no valve available that replaced the old one.
Took the ice maker out with three screws hving turned water off and unplugging fridge. Put a new one back in with the three screws. plugged fridge back in and turned water on. All done and everthing worked fine.

Washer top adgitator / Frig. Ice maker not producing
Washer; I watched the repair video, and replaced the agitator. It was so simple I think that it took longer to watch the video. Refrigerator; I replaced the ice maker, and the solenoid valve. It was very easy to replace the parts, however it took a while to diagnose the problem. I found an appliance repair man that told me what contact
... Read morepoints on the front of the ice maker would trigger the clock (so I didn't have to wait for an hour for the clock to activate). There is also a set of contacts that when jumpered will trigger the solenoid valve. It only took a total of 25 minutes to fix both the washer, and the dryer. If you take a piece of 14 Ga. solid wire about 6" long and strip the ends about 3/8" and bend it into a U you have a jumper. If you jump the contact points on the front of the icemaker letters T & H this will start the clock operation. If you jump letters L & V, the solenoid should open to allow water to flow to the tray. If water does not flow, the filter should be checked in the valve. If the valve sounds like it is opening, sometimes the inlet to the ice maker can freeze stoping the flow. In my case I found the solenoid valve was getting only a week signal, and would only function about 25% of the time.
Removed old water inlet valve and replaced same with the new one. Installation was easy, parts came quickly, and I now have ice cubes again. Thanks for your help.

Turn off water supply. Unplug the refridgerator and move so easy access to back. Remember to lower front right wheel to lift rubber foot off ground.

Use vac to clean back of refridgerator of dust and build up. Move refridgerator into position and raise front right wheel until rubber foot is back on floor. Use vac to clean coils in the front of the refridgerator. Replace grill. I allowed 4 batches to run before using ice. Pretty simple repair.

Ice maker stopped working
This was an easy fix. The first thing you need to do is shut off the water to the ice maker. Then unplug refrigerator. Then take the panels off the back of the refrigerator to get to the water valve. The valve is at the bottom left hand corner. Take the inlet hose off and the outer hose off of the valve. Take the screws out to remov

Put everything back together and plug refrigerator in. Turn on water slowly and check for leaks. If no leaks, push refrigerator back and wait for the ice to begin. Piece of cake!!

Ice maker started pruducing smaller and smaller cubes until finially it was not producing any cubes.
Really easy. Turned the water off, unplugged the fridge and took off a few bolts and swapped the valve out for new. It was basically plug and play. The ice maker started working its next cycle.

ice maker not working
It turned out the water valve was not the problem but I think it works a bit better with the new one. I had replaced the main part of the icemaker inside the freezer which had lost the smooth finish in the ice tray. It worked for awhile but quit. What had happened was the large approx. 1/2 inch tube going from the back of the refrig

Ice maker works for a few days then supply tube fills with ice and wont allow water into ice maker. Do i need a need a new ice maker or a water valve
For model number arb2107aw
Hi Thomas, thank you for your question. There are two parts that you should check for this issue. The first part to test would be your water inlet valve. The valve has two solenoids that control either the dispenser or the ice maker. Even if your dispenser is working the ice maker solenoid may not be and vise versa. The valve can be tested with a multi meter and should be reading between 500 - 1500 ohms of resistance. If that part is testing correctly then you should look into your ice maker being the issue. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
