AFD2535DEW Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed the old ice maker by disconnecting the wiring harness, loosening to side screws and removing a third screw under the ice maker. Installed the new ice maker following the above instructions in reverse order. Ice maker started working after about 30-45 minutes (probably for the tray to get cold enough). It was a very simple process. Thanks.

removed three screws from left side of unit then the next set of screws, next disassemble unit to water fill bucket , remove new fill bucket and replace with old one, reassemble in revered order

It literally took 5 mins. Remove the crisper drawers and pantry drawer for ease of access. Remove the 3 screws holding the end cap in place. Remove the glide from the old endcap and reattach it to the new part. Remove the humidity control arm from the old endcap and reattach to the new part (hardest part of the job - just takes a little finesse). Reinstall the new endcap and the drawers.

I followed the Partselect how-to video on how to relace the icemaker motor and voila,2 hrs later I had ice.The repair took 15 minutes probably saved me a $75.00 service call plus the mark-up on the part.I liked the the fact that Partselect puts the percentage of the probability besides each part picture and discription. Having no experience working on an icemaker, this was a great help in ordering the right part.If I recall,the motor assembly was the culprit 60% of the time. I'm really glad I stumbled onto this web site.PS. The part was ordered on a Sunday and arrived by FedEx on Thursday.

Purchase Ice Maker from PartSelect and replaced the old one with the new one. Instructional video from PartSelect was very helpful.

removed the old icemaker and replaced with new one. It took some time for the icemaker to start making ice again.

This was easy because I looked at other repair stories. What nobody mentioned is don't be afraid to swing the temperature control slider around after you get all the screws out. It just sort of hooks into a notch in the back of the cabinet. Pull the whole "L" toward you on a 90 degree swing and it will slip out. Then you can take it out and jiggle the rest of the parts to exchange them Also, if you have the screwdriver with the interchangeable tips you also have the nut driver you need. I was disappointed because I thought I would surprise my husband by doing it myself but didn't have a nut driver. Then I thought of the holder for the screwdriver tips and it was a perfect fit! Surprise.

With a phillips head driver, I loosened all the screws on the left side tray support, and completely took out the the second screw. I removed the screw because it is the lower support for the ice maker. I used a flat end screw driver and loosened the top two screws on the top of the ice maker. You don't need to remove them comletely. The unit just slides up and out. Just reverse the steps to install. It took me under ten minutes.

After being scammed by a repairman who charged for repair that didn't work, then promised to order replacement, then said he couldn't get it, I was pleased to find your site. Ordered the part, watched the installation video,received the part within two days, replaced it in 10 minutes--it works perfectly. I only wish I had looked on internet before calling repairman recommended by my dealer.

Simple repair and regret I waited so long to do it. UNPLUG REFRIGERATOR!! Remove cover over control module on front of icemaker by releasing pressure on the two clips and sliding cover forward. Loosen screws you see now with a Phillips screwdriver. Gently pull cover off and note where and how control arm slides off of your old module. Slide new module on reversing procedure and make sure you line up control arm in new module as it was in old one. Replace screws and then replace cover by securing clips. Do not over tighten screws. Turn refrigerator back on and make sure control arm is engaged in new module and should be in down position to turn on icemaker. Do not force if it is not. If control arm is all the way up and clicked in place, your unit is off. Gently pull down to activate it. Wait a few minutes and let icemaker cycle. If icemaker does not fill with water after about 5 minutes, prime it by pouring about 6 oz. of water into the icemaker and it should begin to work. Very easy repair and I had ice in about 90 minutes. Remember that many icemaker repairs are necessary because of the control arm being forced in some way by hand or obstruction of items in freezer compartment. Always give it room to work and be very gentle with it.

In the research, I found that the family was being poisened each day by teflon chipping off of the icemaker's tray, where the ice freezes and the icemaker had ceased making ice. I ordered the icemaker on a 2-3 business day delivery and it arrived in one day. That evening, we went to the site, and opened the instructional video from the expert installer. As always, i was skeptical of the ease of the installer's install. I should have been so skeptical, even though the model the installer was using was different, it only took about fifteen minutes from pulling out the fridge, to repair, to returning the fridge to it's cubby. I love PartSelect. I've used them for all types of pieces, including a great deal on the water filters!!

Unscrewed the old icemaker motor control module and replaced it with the new one. The ice maker works, but does not function on its own. I believe I need to replace the thermostat so that the icemaker can work automatically when the thermostat detects the ice freezing and triggers the motor to rotate.

Followed the instructional video. It was not exactly like the unit I had but I followed as much as possible. I switched out the motor and within 3 hours had ice.

replaced Icemaker Control and Motor Assembly

I removed the freezer drawer and wire tray. Unscrewed and removed the cover at the back of the freezer after removing the ice maker. Disconnected a few wire connectors to access the old motor. Compressed the plastic arms holding the old motor in. Installed new motor using insulators from the old motor. Put everything back together.
