59651672100 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

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

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.

Time to repair was easy and very short -- about 20 minutes. The DIAGNOSTIC time to figure out the part I needed to order was VERY LONG -- about 2 hours. It took a while to figure out how to access the mechanism. My initial assumption was a 'bad solenoid'. It checked "good" for continuity and resistance using a VOM. I tried several things and, finally, noticed the board had a chip that was obviously burned up. Knowing I do not have the tools or talent to replace the chip and not damage the board, I chose to replace the board. Fortunately, my wife was able to order the dual circuit boards (they are a connected 'set') from Part Select. They arrived about 4 days later (not bad, considering we live in a relatively remote area). The 'repair' was easy. Turn off power, remove the ice/water dispenser to expose the electronics and ice door mechanism, disconnect the multi-plug connector from the board, carefully push the plastic clips back to release the old board and lift it out, place the new board into position and carefully snap the plastic clips over the edge of the new board, plug in the connector, power on, test the unit, replace the dispenser cover. Not a hard repair -- once you know what you need. Also, I should mention: The boards cost $164 -- not cheap, but it was a good deal for us. We are selling the house furnished, so if I had not been able to fix it, we would have had to buy a new refrigerator to sell with the house. This saved us about $1000! Thanks for being there Part Select!!

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.

Very easy and straightforward Sevice was OUTSTANDING!!!will definately utilize this company in the future!!

Purchased the new light switch, used a butter knife to pop the old one out, used the pliers to pull the wires off the metal tabs, replaced the new one with no problem. Took about under 1 minute. Lights are now all working.

Replaced with the new ice bucket.

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.

I removed the old ice maker as described by the DIY video and had no problem except, I had to remove the ice tray from the motor section so the end cap could be changed. This only required removal of two Phillips screws on the case of the motor assembly, that are used to to secure the tray. Once the tray was off, the ice ejector could be removed and the end cap was free to change. Everything was re-installed in reverse order and unit was mounted. An FYI to anyone with slow ice making, will need to check their freezer temperature. Make sure it's set to get as cold as 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit. After installing new maker, it was not making ice fast enough, only to find my freezer temperature needed to be changed as well. Everything is working as it should now.

The ice maker was easily replaced, however I still had no ice. I ended up using an on-line repair service which determined that the problem was the water inlet valve. Replacing it was beyond my expertise so I hired an appliance repairman.

After reading the articles previous owners wrote, I tackled the repair. There were no big problems until I had to change out the water line on the icemaker tray--that part was for a different frig--so it had to be changed out with the Amana water line part that was enclosed. I couldn't get that part removed, so I had to have my husband change it out. He then finished the installation. Everything went smoothly, just my pride wanted me to finish it all by myself.

Replacing the auger assembly was easy. Unfortunately it did not fix the problem, which was a weak auger motor. The motor would not turn the auger when a piece of ice would go into the area where the blades push it out. It would instead stop the motor and make it screech. This happened with every third piece of ice. Replacing the motor, which I bought elsewhere (couldn't find on this site) fixed the problem.

I watched the on line you tube video on how to DIY. The putty knife worked to pop out the switch. I used the standar screwdriver to unplug the switch from the wire harness. Then plug in the new switch and pop it back in to the roof of the freezer. Tip: watch out when ordering the new switch - the freezer switch is different than the refrigerator switch. The freezer has three prongs. The fridge has two. I initially ordered the wrong part and added a week to the repair time and had to pay shipping to return the first switch.

got the model number off the fridge. ordered the part. received the part. the funnel part that drains the water into the tray was broke when I received the new icemaker, I took the one that was on my old leaking icemaker an put it on my new one along with the old hardware parts {wireharness, ice level bar}. followed the video instructions an wahlah nomore ice in the bottom of the freezer or in the floor. it looked like the funnel was broke in shipping. its great to have ice because its fixing to get hot!
