2699W Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

The icemaker in my Maytag refrigerator was having a few problems. First, a small leak developed in the ice cube tray, allowing water to drip into the ice bucket. This of course caused the ice to become one solid mass, totally inappropriate for a gin and tonic. After a couple of months of this, it stopped working altogether. On to the internet I went, and discovered how easy this repair actually was. One nut to remove, one to put it back in. The installation video was very helpful. I did have a concern at first because the icemaker did not start making ice rights away. I thought it might be a defective unit. It took about 12 hours to get the first batch and it has been happily cranking out the ice since! Ed in upstate New York.

chose to install the dual water inlet first. quite easy to replace. unplugged the fridge, removed the water feed tube, and removed and replaced the valve. that got water to the ice maker, but then the water leaked all over the floor when the water dispenser was activated. i then ordered the secondary valve assy to install. - wrong-. i installed this (remove the dual water valve again, disconnect two electrical plugs, and three plastic tubing lines, and replace inner valve, and outer valve). STILL LEAKING. so, remove the two valves again, and find that the original plastic water tubing is routed along a black insulated heating line that has caused the tubinmg to harden and basically fall apart. cut off the hardened end and replaced all, and now wworks fine. ***moral of the story - if you have leaks, or the water ddispenser doesn't hold a "prime" examine the tubing before ordering valves, etc.

disconnected el. power to fridge. pried out broken switch with small screwdriner and pulled out w/water pump pliers. installed new switch and pressed into opening.

So easy! Worst part of it was flushing the water through!

Followed the video as a guideline. It was not exactly as portrayed. My husband and I, being long time do it yourselfer's, were able to get around the differences. There were screws, instead of tabs as pictured in the video, plus had to remove 4 screws instead of one to loosen the old icemaker. After 2 days the icemaker is pumping out loads of ice.

I performed the replacement just as the video instructed. Very simple repair.

Shut off water supply and power, disconnect the water intake line using the wrench, remove the hoding plate using the nutdriver, unplug the two wire terminals, disconnect the outgoing water line using the wrench. reinstall the new one by reversing the prosedure...Have fun!

I had ordered some other parts for something entirely different off your website and service was great. So after almost ten years of a dark refrigerator, because of a defective switch, I decided to see if you had the part to fix it... You did and the part got here in 3 days. I had a working light switch and all the light in the world where my husband needed it most (in the fridge). It took me at the most ten minutes to replace the part. All is well now and I have a happy husband who can find the leftovers just fine. Thanks for your great service!

I followed the instructions from your video. I did this replacement all by myself. I am a 64 year old woman and have never done anything like this before. It could not have been any easier.

Emptied frig, unplugged, reached into back of freezer and removed the screws holding bottom back panel. then unwire the motor and replace new one. The problem was the fan blades didnt fit the new motor shaft and motor mounts in upward position so the blades kept sliding down and rubbing. I had to make a homemade bushing to keep blades away from motor housing. Redneck ingenuity.

Replaced icemaker and used wire harnnes and plastic cover off old one. Real easy!!

The ice maker change out was easy. The problem was the part came with a different filler cup but the one needed was supplied. Changing to the other cup required taking the ice maker apart and installing the other filler cup. Go to the parts list and find the filler cup. Use instructions found there to change to other cup and then install your ice maker.

We tried repairing with a new switch which was very easy to install but it didn't fix the problem.

First I used your troubleshooting tools online to determine that the problem was either the evaporator fan motor or the thermostat. I order both parts so to limit the downtime in repairing the refrigerator. After watching the video on your page show me how to remove and replace the thermostat, I replaced that first. But prior to replacing the thermostat, I used a hair dryer to thaw the ice and frost from the evaporator coils. After all the ice and frost was removed, I use a few paper towels to wipe up the water that accumulated in the bottom of the freezer. I removed the power cord and then replaced the thermostat using the video for reference. Replacement went easy. The hardest part was threading the thermostat wire through the back of the refrigerator. But using electrical tape to keep the cable fastened to the fish wire, it was accomplished. At first the refrigerator evaporator fan did not come on, so I used the hair dryer to dry all around the evaporator wiring and motor. After doing this for about 15 minutes (with the power cord disconnected) I reconnected the power cord and the evaporator motor kicked right in and the freezer began making ice. I checked the refrigerator every half hour for the next few hours to ensure that the repair worked. Everything worked perfectly and the refrigerator and the freezer cooled like new. Thanks for the assistance and troubleshooting guides, they made the job easy.

removed old icemaker and transfer some of the parts to the new icemaker. The only problem was that I had to disasemable the new icemaker to replace the fill tray with the older style (which was included). Once that was done, installation was pretty easy.
