10650449900 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

Originally ordered parts I thought would fix ice maker. When I took apart the icemaker assembly I noticed and found the actual part that went bad. Called customer service and was able to return the parts I thought would fix the ice maker, without any problems. I ordered the correct part on the same call. Within a day or so the new part arrived and was installed within 15 minutes. Thanks to the instructions & comments posted on the "Instant Repairman" link. Awesome customer service that can not be bet.

Swapped out the emitter and receiver control boards. Super easy. Watched the video on how to do it on your website.

the tutorial is perfectwatch Steve. The boards were bad but coincidentaly so was the motor/control unit. I satrted with the boards, got my LED codes back to normal but still could not dispense. Installed the motor/control unit and had cubes dropping in 15 minutes. Great service, great tutorials.

I watched the quick video once to see the type, if it matched mine, and the difficulty. I went ahead and ordered the part and within minutes, I had the ice maker installed. The video was so well designed, I only had to watch it once!

Checked the hose above the icemaker to see if water was frozen. Ran the freezer at a lower temp to see if lines would unfreeze. Took a wild guess that a component was broken in the icemaker, but it was cheaper to get the entire assembly anyways. Removed about 4 screws under icemaker, disconnected icemaker, jiggled and slid the icemaker and tray out, traded out icemaker assemblies, and put it all back, probably took 10-15 mins, and it made ice again!

Remove ice maker from refrigerator,remove damaged part,replace with new one.

The helpful Partselect video showed a slightly different model, as my icemaker uses optics instead of a bail for shutting off the icemaker. I ordered new optics based on a a customer description that, if the light on the right hand side of the freezer door jamb was blinking 2 flashes followed by a pause,it indicated that the optics were faulty, so I ordered and replaced them. This did not solve my problem. Then on-line I found further information that said I should close the flapper on the left side, and if the light was steady (which it was) the optics were OK. I then ordered the motor unit. I unscrewed the single screw under the right hand side of the track with a 1/4" nut driver, but found that sliding out the ice maker involved a little wiggling and prying, and, because it was awkward to disconnect the electrical connection, I found that it was not necessary to disconnect it. Then, after removing the end cap, it was a straight forward process to replace the motor, while adjusting the shaft to line up. Then,reverse all procedures and I now have ice. Success!

We followed the video which was a great help. The only difficulty we had is the black rubber tube (water fill tube) was hard to get into the new ice maker. But finally got it. The new icemaker works wonderful! No more buying ice!

I researched my problem online and watched a video of a ice maker installation before I attempted my repair. I ordered the part at 11am Thursday morning and the part arrived at 10am Friday morning via Fed Express. First, I removed the bracket the was holding the ice maker in place. Second, I slide the ice maker out. Then I disconnected the old ice maker. Next I used a screwdriver to remover 3 screws for the plastic housing, since it was need for the new ice maker. I plug it in and put the bracket back in place. I went out for a couple of hours. I returned home and ran to the freezer.I open it and I found ice cubes. I was finally able to throw out my ice cube trays. Boy I hate them!!! Don't fear this repair it's simple and very cheap. I saved roughly $160.00 by doing it myself. I will use this company again since they were great

used the video on your web site. also read the overview made things really simple

I followed the instructions on the information sheet provided as well as watching a demo video on YouTube. Actual replacement of the emitter and receiver boards took only 5 minutes, but I was not sure it was working till I could here the ice maker harvesting the cubes. Still wanted to be sure so I kept an eye on it for a few hours. Each time I looked in there was more ice. I am so glad I found your website. Parts were about $106. Labor would have cost that much and the repair guy I talked to on the phone said he would probably have to replace the whole unit.

Used the trouble shooting off of YouTube and after finding that the heater was not at the right resistance, ordered a new ice-maker and installed. Very simple and a lot cheaper than going through Sears.

Watch the video was very helpful. I'm just a women and I did it all by myself. Thanks for the help of the video.

Turn ice maker control off,hold up front cover remove two screws, remove cover, remove rear screw on the back right side, slide unit part way out, make sure flipper on left is out of the way, unplug connector on right, remove unit,remove bottom cover & put on new unit,install in reverse order, turn ice maker control on, done

I went on line and found your web sight. There was a list of the parts by number and I clicked on the rilght one. It brought up a video for repairing it myself. It was so simple. I just followed your instructions and within an hour I had ice. It makes so much ice I'm going to have to give it away. No really its great.
