59673502200 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

I never would have imagined that my husband and I could replace our ice maker so easily. We simply fired up the step-by-step video on my tablet, paused it as we did each step and voila! Usually there is a lot of cussing with any repair we do and I don't think there was even one cuss word uttered. Thank you for the clear and concise instructions!

The Deli Drawer needs to be re-engineered as it is constantly getting stuck when closing which caused pin to break. Fix: removed deli drawer and contents, removed 2 screws holding right-side metal slider and two more screws holding Pantry end cap. Surprise was that the Pantry End Cap had a long, movable plastic arm attached (used to adjust amount of cold air delivered to deli drawer). This long arm has to be carefully removed (unbelievable) from the pantry end cap in order to replace on new end cap. Luckily nothing broke. Count on 30-40 minutes. Sad that such a high-end refrig couldn't have a better design.

Required about 20 minutes with hair dryer to melt ice from coils. Ohmed out heater at 30 ohms. Noted (as others have) that defrost thermostat was bulged out on one end. Reassembled and ordered replacement thermostat. Received part in three days. Kit contained all parts required for replacement - wires were color coded for easy replacement. Cut both brown and orange wires and used supplied crimp connectors to splice in new thermostat (will need crimpers). Reassembled unit. Actual time to replace part was about 15 minutes. Plastic grill has indications on both sides where to insert a screwdriver to release tabs holding it in place (there is also a tab in the center which is not marked).

I cleared the bottom drawers and lifted out the glass and set aside. Removed both drawers. Removing right side panel (end cap) was just 2 screws for hinge and 2 screws for end cap. Note that there is a small tab toward front of end cap that needs to be gently popped out. Taking the temperature control lever and slide assemblies were easy once I figured out how they snapped out and back into place. No tools required but takes a little looking and thinking to swap them out. Try moving lever at an angle to facilitate replacement. Swap hinge and then position new end cap in place and screw in place with the two screws. Add drawers and glass back in. Ouila!

I unscrewed three screws and took off broken side. Then I unscrewed three screws and removed and replaced drawer slider. I then replaced old side with the new one.Thanks you for making this so easy.

Searching Google and Youtube produced trouble-shooting guidance to first check the water inlet valve which I did. I should have realized the valve was working since the ice-maker was trying to fill the trays. Additional advice recommended skipping all the other component troubleshooting and merely replace the old unit which I did. The big difference with the Amana appliance was the icemaker was installed laterally in the back of the freezer rather than longitudinally with the end of the control wheel positioned towards the front of the freezer. This created a tight fit in removing the old unit, especially since the wiring harness was extremely short. The latter made access to the plug release catch difficult. I used a small flat blade screwdriver and worked mainly by feel to release the plug catch. Persistent wrangling finally got the plug detached and the unit free. The water inlet hose also had a rear access orientation while the replacement unit had access was from the side. The hacksaw blade was used to cut a pre-outlined access to allow the hose to enter from the rear as with the old unit. Once the shut-off bail was transferred, wiring harness reconnected, and water inlet positioned and clipped into place, the mounting screws were secured. Within 24 hrs the first ice cubes popped and the unit has filled the ice reservoir. Keep in mind I just ordered the icemaker and did not need any other add-ons like a different wiring harness which seemed to work fine. Confirm when you order you don't need any additional parts. Good service for PartSelect. I will use them again.

Removed the drawer you need 1/4 socket removed three bolts very easy took me 15 minute

1. Watch the video. 2. Save your old ice maker's cover, metal lift bar, and power cord and clip. New one does not come with the cover, metal lift bar and power cord and power cord clip 3. My ice maker had three screw. two on top that only need to be loosened. on e on the bottom that has to be removed

There are two screws that holds the panel on. I took the screws out pulled the panel and attachments out. Removed the attachments from the old panel put them on the new panel. It was really easy to figure out how to fit the pieces back together. Screwed the panel and attachments back into to place and perfect. I Put the door back on the deli tray. No readjusting was necessary at all good as new fits great no problems. You pull the tray out the door flips up every thing works fine.

unplug power! Remove the screws from lower panel on back of refrigerator. Lift wire mount out of back panel. Capacitor is mounted directly to the relay and overload switch located on the left side of the compressor. Remove the spring clip holding the capacitor in place and pull the old capacitor out. Plug in new capacitor and replace spring clip. Use vacuum to remove dust from drip pan and wipe fan blades clean. Replace wire into slot on back panel and replace screws. Remove front coil cover below freezer door. vacuum dust off coils and replace cover. Plug refrigerator in and enjoy cold beverages. Relay and overload kit were not required for this repair.

As others have described. Went very smoothly

Nutdriver....removed crispers.......pulled drawer. While drawer slide pulled out...removed 1 screw. Removed second screw. After looking at new on I understood had to pull up a bit while removing to clear taps at front and back.I am a handy kinda fella that fixes everything tho"

took off the old part and replaced with new using some parts from the old ice maker. We had to make one new screw hole because the new ice maker didn't match up with the old holes. Easy installation took 30min.

I followed the instructions shown on the YouTube video on the Parts Select site. I had to make a few modifications. There were two nuts that had to be loosened to lift the ice maker off the freezer wall. The mounting bracket had to be transferred from the old icemaker to the new one to align with the hole in the freezer to reattach. The white wire went under the clip was a black wire but it was easily recognized. Other than that it was very straight forward and I had new ice in a few hours. I would definitely do it again.

I popped the broken panel out and installed the replacement.
