AFD2535FES 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.

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,

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

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.

found instructions at all parts.com website and was able to do it. Has to send part back because bracket was out of shape and promptly received another part in a few days and received a refund for the broken part,Great service thank you

Very simple if you have the right size nut driver. took less than 10 min.

removed screws from the side and back of part and installed new part. This is a very poor design for Amana. This is the second time this part has broken in 5 years--first the left and then the right.

Trouble shooting was the difficult part. All advice was to replace the valve but water did not leak with icemaker removed. Found the release coating in the icemaker tray had cracked and peeled away. Since this is also the water seal, the tray would drip water after filling, before freezing. The new icemaker solved the problem.
