AFD2535DEW Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

First, I read about 15 descriptions of this repair on your web site. Then I carefully attempted the job. I found that, as others said, the most difficult part of the replacement was the electrical connection, both unplugging and plugging it back in to the replacement part. The icemaker did not seem to function at first, so I removed the part and made sure I had fully inserted the plug into the receptacle. This took far less time than the initial removal and replacement. It began to work fine, and is really an easy job- just makes a person nervous w/o directions, etc.

Remove end cap and then figured out how to remove and replace an associated humidity device

removed the pantry drawer, pushed tabs holding the door, and door came right off. new door went on whole repair took no more than 5 minutes. Longest time took arguing with my wife on how the door came off, and she was right and I was wrong

Easy to find the part, just remember your left and right sides. Ordered the parts on a Thursday and had the parts Saturday by noon. 5 minutes to disassemble and 10 to put back in. Very easy.

First I took the front cover of element off and pull the electric conne out. Next I loosened the two screws that hold the element top in place. I then removed the screw at bottom that fixed on L-angle.
And then took thermo sensor that was holed by cramp out.
Replace new ice making element as reverse order. It was very easy job.

I easily identified the needed part from the diagram on the PartSelect.com site and ordered it. It arrived within three business days (standard shipping). It simply popped into place in the respective slots in the bin frame--no tools needed. The whole process cost less than $11.00 with more than half of the cost going for shipping.

The repair was as easy as finding the part. Took out the drawer, unscrewed the two screws that secured end cap and replaced.

first i flipped the power switch to the fridge and i took out the three screws unhooked the electrical, and i put the new ice maker in in the same manner hooked the electrical back up put the screws in and job was done. and about 2hrs later we had ice.

The new icemaker had the knockout in the side missing where the water came in instead of the knockout in the back. Removed the knockout in back and cut the side out of the old icemaker and clipped it on the side to cover the hole as a splash plate. Worked fine. Transferred all other parts needed from the old icemaker.

Like the other stories I read, It took longer to put the food out and back in the frig! The actual replacement was easy, take food out, take upper shelfs out, take lower drawers out, remove 5 screws from the old end cap and replace with new end cap. The End Cap came in the mail VERY well protected and just in a few days! Awesome...
Thanks!

How easy was that?! First out was the pantry drawer, crisper drawers then glass shelf. Hex head driver (the size for curtin brackets) to remove the 3 screws in panel. While I wiped out the inside my husband traded the slide bracket (phillips head screwdriver) to new end cap and right back in it went. Took longer to type the instructions that get the job done. Our order was received in 2 days. PartsSelect was fabulous.

I got the replacement ice maker the next day after I ordered it...really fast shipment which was very nice. All I had to do is unscrew 4 screws, un-hook the wire harness from the back of the old ice maker and take the old ice maker out. Then repeat the same steps in reverse to put the new on in. It took less than 10 minutes if that. Very easy to install.
