AFD2535DEW Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

I removed the ice maker, saw the problem, took the ice maker apart and ordered a new mold. I reassembled it with the new mold and it now makes ice but the control arm remains up after each ice dump. I plan to take the ice maker back out when we leave (we are snow birds in Florida) and see if the arm is properly placed.

My husband took the plastic cover off and took out old bulb and screwed in the new one. Then put the cover back on.

Remove tray that held ice then took off cover to the moter.removed three sewes that moter came off .then put on new one

Looked up on I thought - popular mechanics website for how to repair. The valve is a dual function filter and pump. I used on ohm meter to check the pump after I removed the cover on the back and disconnected the electrical. Found no ohms. Pop. Mechanics recommended I replace the valve. Parts select was easy to order, and arrived quickly. After 1/2 hour, it works great. I realized the hard water we have in the burbs of Chicago plugged the filter. The pump struggled until it burned out. Thanks guys.

Oredered the new icemaker. They delivered fast - it was here in 2 days. One nut holds in the icemaker, then it just lifts out and unplug the wiring harness. New unit was identical, which is very nice. No modifications to make. It went right in and works perfect. Great experience.

Remove old and replace with new.

Removed old one that was held on by two screws and replaced it with the new one and the two screws.

Initially, I took the ice make out of the refrigerator. It required removing two screws in the service door and one on the right side under the ice maker to remove a plastic cover for the wiring. There are plastic retainers under the left and right sides of the ice maker that must be pressed to release them so the ice maker can be removed. I had to unplug the wiring at the upper right of the ice maker (the plug has clip that you can slide a small screw driver into to release it and pull the plug apart). Once the ice maker was out I removed the white cover on the left side and it exposed the module. I found the shaft that holds the gear was broken. When the part arrive, I removed the existing module (three screws) and installed the new module. I reversed the ice maker removal process.

It looked easy on the video so I ordered the icemaker. It was easy to remove, except for the electric connection. I then realized that the water outlet opening did not fit. Mine comes from the back. I took a chance and replaced the old fitting for the new so the water tube would fit. It took me a while to figure how to do this. The icemaker did not function until the next day, but has been working fine since. My husband is happy and I am sure I saved at least $200.00 or more.

I removed the pantry drawer, removed the pantry end cap and replaced it with the new part. The only thing that took a little thinking was detaching and reattaching the temperature control slider.

Found Parts Select while searching for parts to fix symptom. Other's experience and video to replace the ice maker was of great help. I had done this repair on my Motor Home before so knew I should be able to do it on the home appliance. Followed the video and fixed it in short time considering I work very deliberatly on such things.

I didn't, the young man who does all my maintenance work did it. He's super and can do anything. Thanks for making the repairs so simple, not having to pay the going service charge....I paid my Jim $25 compared to probably $65 by a service person.

Looked up the part by model no. on partselect. Ordered and go it in less than a week. Took out the old motor, unplugged wire, no wiring to do .Replaced with new motor. GOT ICE!

I started by removing the ice tray. I unscrewed the three screws holding the ice maker.I positioned the icemaker to the point I could insert a screwdriver into the space that releases the power clip and pushed and nudged the power clip out. I then pulled out the broken icemaker and replugged the new one in. I then put the icemaker back in the position it was originally in and replaced the screws. Getting the clip out was the trickiest thing about it. You have to position it where you can see the clip. All in all it was a simple fix. The icemaker started making ice not to long after that. I did this while leaving the refrigerator on. I think they suggest unplugging it. It was not that hard to do. I saved sixty five dollars on labor and another thirty five dollars on the unit by not using the appliance repair company.

I'm by no means handy, but replacing the motor went surprisingly smooth. Using the enclosed instructions and an on-line video walkthrough made the repair easy. My wife now views me as an appliance wizard.
