10650204993 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

My ice maker has been broken since august 2011. I called my son in law, which is very handy, he looked at the broken ice maker, said he had no clue how to fix it, since its computerized. Searched the internet, found part select website, watched videos, read customers feed back, based on information provided, ordered icemaker control and motor assembly (less than $60. 00), Called my son in law, in less than 10 minutes, part was installed. The next morning the ice bin was full. I am so greatful for your website, and my wonderful son in law.

Found the part on the website (be sure to put the proper model number in)Be very watchful ofhow the bdracket come out and how the various wires go back onto the bracket. (Make a diagram on paper with colors in the proper location.

Simply washed the part and installed

hardest part was pulling out the refrigerator. it took about five minutes. parts fit perfectly. only thing to look for is some excess flashing on the end of the tube. easily removed with a pocket knife. simple repair.

Based on research done on your site, I concluded that my problems was the icemaker control. The video showed me exactly what to do. During removal, I dropped the unit and broke the water fill cup. Ordered the control unit (as well as a replacement for the broken cup). Installed in about ten minutes. You really can't mess up. It only goes in one way! The next day, bucket was full of ice. Thanks for all the help. I figured I saved $200.00 on the cost of a technician call.

Took the broken one out and put the new one in. I am a very skilled craftsman. ;-)

I followed the simple steps in the awesome repair video!

Pulled out the old one an put the new one in. I was impressed with how easy it was to work with partselect.com, I had alway ordered through Sears before, but from now on I will be using partselct.com for ordering parts. Got the part in two days with free shipping and $20 les than Sears that did not have the part in stock.

SUPER EASY!!!! I pulled the old one out and put the new one in. Perfect fit and it took less than 60 seconds. This web site was about $30 cheaper than ordering from Kenmore and it was identical. I ordered my Crisper Pan on Wednesday and got it Friday. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!

At first I thought the problem ws with the water valve. I tested it and got a normal reading. Just as Partselect suggested, it was the Icemaker Control and Motor Assembly. Once I removed the old one I noticed it was dry rotted on the plastic stem that turns the wheel. I tried to replace it while it was still in the freezer. That didnt work very well so I ended up taking the whole ice maker out as shown in the video. Once everything was back together and plugged in I heard that sweet sound of water flowing down the chute into the ice maker. About 4 days later the ice bucket was full to the top with ice.

Changed the Motor Assembly. Wasn't the problem. If I had followed your trouble chart a little farther I would have found out it was the circuit boards. All is well and I might add that yor guide with the parts and video are priceless. Very Happy. Lowell Onstad

The defrost timer that I ordered form you did the trick. My fridge was
running all the time and the fridge temp was 55 but the freezer was 10
below. The instructions did not say how to test the old one to compare with
the new on. However in the Readers Digest Home Repair book it did and the
test proved that it was defective. Your article said that with the system I
had, 65% on the time it was the timer. I ordered it and thank you it works
just fine. I do have another problem, maybe you can help. The fridge runs
for 6 minuets and stays off for 10 minuets. The temp in the freezer is 0
and the fridge is 35-40 on the warmest settings, but all is well.
Thank you

Removed door, removed both upper and lower cam and replaced, applied small amount of vasoline and replaced the door. The entire repair took less than 5 minutes. Door works great. When replacing the cam you need to replace both the upper and lower cam. When you order the parts, the upper cam is on the door schematic and the lower cam is on the refrigerator body schematic. I originally only ordered the upper cam.

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.

Remove icemaker control assembly, replaced with new one.
