10645432801 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

My ice maker would not produce ice. I removed motor module which involved removing ice maker from freezer, removing motor module cover and 3 screws. I found short (burnt place) in copper of existing module. Ordered new motor module, replaced, and all is fine. Great service, quick delivery and correct part.

I first removed the icemaker service door by separating the door pins from the hinge sockets. Next, I removed a 1/4" screw from under the right side of the icemaker that retains the icemaker and a “U” plastic clamp. This clamp straps to the icemaker from behind. Then, after partially sliding the old icemaker out, I struggled somewhat decoupling the wire connector because it was frozen. After disconnecting the wire harness, I then removed the defective icemaker.
The next step was, with the same 1/4" ratchet wrench, I removed the 3 screws from the bracket on the underside of the icemaker. I then proceeded to attach the same bracket to the new icemaker.
Next, I connected the electrical connector at the right side. I struggled a little bit sliding the new icemaker in because the water cup assembly on the new part was taller than the old one and thus bumped into the water delivery tube.
You then reverse the procedure for installation.
Finally, before operating the icemaker I turn the icemaker switch on and turn off the power to the refrigerator for about one minute before turning it back on, while the freezer door was closed. Within 5 minutes, the icemaker was working properly and within 24 hours the ice bin had been filled.
Good Luck!

Removed screws, took out the old one and put in the new one.

Popped the old one out with a kitchen knife and popped the new one back in. It tool less than 15 seconds!!

My owners manual said to unplug fridge from elec outlet, use a kitchen knife to gently pry off the switch plate
(manual had a pictoral example), unclip the two wire, replace with on new switch and replace the switch. Close
door and plug back in. Open door to check that the lite
works. Walla! It did. Thanks!

replaced emitter and receiver

Used the instructions on your site.

Replaced sensors but still not making ice. Followed the Brown wire from the Water fill selenoid to the Ice Maker Module. Take the three screws off the Icemaker Gearbox and there was a severely Crusty Connection. It cleaned fairly well and Presto.....ICE!!!

I installed the 2 circuit boards. Real easy. Did not fix problem so going to have to check further.

Replaced the two circuit boards

Just had to take the old one out and put the new one in. No problem.

Replaced emitter and receiver boards. That did not fix the problem, ordered valve hope that is it.

As your video showed. Used kitchen knife to get connection tight

Turn off water supply then Remove the dispencer trim by putting a flat screw driver into the slots at ths lower edge of trim and push down on trim as you pry the trim out and remove trim. Remove two screws holding the controls and unhook the far right connector and push to the side to get to old line,unhook the connecter at the bottom of door and remove compression nut from old line,remove the screw holding the old line in place and remove the assembly by pulling up and out. install new metal holder into slot and install screw to hold in place (If you have old style)cut new line at angle (Don't cut but about 1/2 inch off) and push new line down through hole at the bottom of the door where old one was and install the upper end into new metal bracket notch ,reinstall control panel with the two screws that were removed making sure that the controls strike the switches correctly ,reinstall the trim ,cut off the line to the match the connector and install the compression nut and put lines together,turn on water and check for leaks. Test and remove air and job should be complete. (hardest part was getting the trim off with out breaking it, I looked close and found the notches on the bottom)

All I did was removed the stickers and place it in the frame - no tools required. It fit perfectly and is since it is clear (the original one has a grid pattern in it) I can easily see everything in the drawer below. I will be more careful in cleaning this one - apparently the temperature difference from cool to warm caused it to break, so I will just wipe this one down rather than submerging it in water.
