AFD2535DEW Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

For some time my ice maker would leak and form a block of ice in the bin. But since it still made useable ice, I just lived with it. Then it stopped working all together. I took it out and cleaned it a couple of times, but it would only cycle one or two times before stopping. I was really skeptical that the new ice maker would solve the problem, but I tried it anyway. It has been in about 3 weeks now working like a charm. No leaks and cycles perfectly. Easy installation, works perfectly and solved all my ice maker troubles.

Inspection did not reveal the problem...replaced the unit.

I removed the vegetable drawers and glass. Removed the deli drawer and glass. I then used a small nutdriver to remove the small hexhead screw. Once removed I unscrewed the metal slider and screwed it to the new part. I screwed the new part in where I removed the old one. It was pretty easy. I just wish they made that part that breaks off so easily out of metal. I am frustrated by the number of times I need to replace it. PartSelect is great at delivering the part fast.

Biggest problem was unplugging the snap in wire connector behind the ice maker. Otherwise the repair was straight forward.

my husband just took the motor off the existing maker and decided the front part of the unit was bad, I ordered it and it came in about 3 days he put the new front on it and screwed the unit back in the freezer, was about 4 screws I think. Didnt take too long but I would bet the next time it would be easier. Thank you

Real simple: Unplugged refrigerator at wall. I just removed cover by wiggling it off and removed three phillips head screws, lined up shaft with motor assembly slot and screwed in the three screws, plugged in and waited to make ice. Wasn't sure if it was going to work took about a day for ice to be made consistently. My repair man gave me an estimate of $185.00 parts/labor I did it for $65.00. This is the second time I have had to replace this part. This refrig. is about 15 yrs. old and still works great.

Just to add a few items not on other lists.


Get appliance manual out to see how to turn the unit off.
Has a tubing valve in the rear on water inlet. Used valve to shut water off.
Then replaces whole unit as per instructions on site.

Removed end cover from ice maker assembly. Motor driven wheel had broken from its plastic shaft. Disconnect power source. Using philips screwdriver, remove three screws from corners of motor mold and remove mold. Per instruction on end cover, rotated strips arm ice ejection tines until they pointed in the two-o'clock position. Dry fit (without screws)new motor mold assembly to ensure that the shaft with flat engaged the socket with flat and that the new part assembly seated flat on icemaker housing re-install 3-screws. Re-connect power source. After 2 hrs. , Confirm that ice cubes are being produced.

I actually went on your website and used the do it yourself repair video as a step by step guide to complete the repair. It was as easy in real life as it was presented on the video. I will use this website to buy and repair future issues I may face with my appiances.

Repair was easy. I removed the food from tha refer and backed out four screws that help end cap in place. I replaced part and screwed it back in using a little locltite on the screws so they didn't work their way out. I then snapped the cover back onto the hinge points and put the food back in the refrigerator. Done

Removed 1 lower screw with nut driver, pushed up and away from inner panel, unplugged harness and it was ready to come out. Reused old wiring harness and end cap. Reinstalled icemaker, it took about 24 hours to start making ice(to fill bin) and now everything works like its supposed to.

Per the instructions I shut the power off to the refrigerator, took the ice cube tray out. I disconnected the electrical connector to the ice maker, removed the 1 screw holding it in place. I then lifted the old ice maker off the 2 tabs and out it came. I reversed the above steps and turned the power back on....It was making ice again in about 3 hours.

pulled out both crisper drawers, removed panrty drawer, removed drawer slide screws, removed right pantry end cap, gently removed temperature selecture slide assembly, then worked backewards from there with the new part. Not bad very easy,

When the ice maker stopped making ice I decided to try to fix the problem myself and save some money in the process. I found out it was really easy to repair, especially after I went to partselect web site and found the part. It took me less than 30 minutes to do the repair and install the new control and motor assembly.Thanks to partselect.com I saved $145.00 serviced call and labor.I would rate partselect.com a ten. Thanks again.
