AFF2534FEW Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

I had put in a call for a service man, but our son-in-law assured me he could easily repair the ice maker if the proper part was available. Amazingly the part was identified on line, ordered and received within four days. When it arrived it took him less than half an hour to get it installed and working, and I saved the price of a service call. I would highly recommend PartSelect to anyone needing replacement parts.

first removed bottom screw. then loosened two top screws enough to lift and free icemaker. held unit out slightly from wall of fridge and unnplugged wiring plug, freeing icemaker. then took wiring harness and wire bail from old unit and installed on new icemaker. then plugged new unit in and attached to fridge. in about 30 minutes it started making ice. Has worked well since.

1. Removed produce bins, deli tray, glass roof and drawer slider.
2. Removed two screws holding endcap in place.
3. Removed two screws holding slider to endcap.
4. Installed slider onto new endcap.
5. Replaced endcap with two screws.

Simple.

Pulled off cover. Removed 3 screws pulled module out installed new one and rinstalled 3 screws. Reinstalled cover. was making ice cubes within 30 min.

Three screws holding the ice maker unit, one quick disconnect wiring harness.
Replacement was simple.

I slid the drawer lid from the pins by pushing in on the top sides of the lide and put the new one in by lining up the pins and holes and 'snap'.

Removed old icemaler and insrtalled new ice maker following repair sequence descriprions on PartSelect.com

The disassembly was fairly easy. Just remove the three screws with a 1/4 inch nutdriver. There are two above and one below the icemaker assembly. Then disconnect the power wiring harness from the back of the motor/timer assembly.
Re-installation is just the reverse and is made much easier if you can remember where you put the screws after waiting a day or two for the replacement to arrive!

turned off the power. took out the bottom scerw and loosened the top two screws. lifted out the old ice maker which allowed enough room to unplug the power cable from the back of the freezer. put the cables and bucket fill rod on the new unit and installed the same way it came out. turned on the power .closed the door and waited for the ice maker to cycle. it takes about 20 minutes; the ice maker has to get down to the proper temperature,

This was very easily repaired in about 15 minutes and only using a phillips head screw driver to remove 3 screws. The plate pulls off easily and there are no wires on this particular ice maker, only male and female clips . You may have to jiggle the metal wire ice on-off bar. The new face plate is all one piece and is installed the same way very easily. Plugged the refrigerator back in and had half a bucket of ice the next morning!!!

I finally realized the fill line for the ice maker was stopped up with ice. I turned the frig. off for 2 hrs. and used a hairdryer to blow hot air up in the fill line ( that hangs down over ice maker). Turned it back on and it worked fine .

My husband and I did the repair together. We had to take out all the stuff out of the fridge on the bottom shelves. WE unscrewed the broken end cap. Cleaned out the fridge and put in the new end cap. We put everything back in the fridge. We windexed the interior.
It took about 35 mins. Cleaning took up most of the repair time.

This is our 4th icemaker repair in 6 1/2 years, and by far the cheapest, except when it quit while still under warranty while refrig was only 8 months old. Fridge has been great but icemaker NOT. Anyway, my significant other has lots of experience with taking icemaker out and tinkering with it, cause we are cheap, so he had already looked at it. We expected to pay about $150 for a new one, but couldn't find the whole icemaker. When I came across your website, and started looking at individual parts, we decided together that the control and motor assembly was probably the ticket. Ordered it on Thursday night, received it Saturday afternoon. He installed it in 5 minutes, we had ice 2 hours later. Life was good. Oh, and spending half what we were planning on spending was a nice surprise also. Thanks. I'm sure you'll be getting our business again.

Was told that the white plastic fingers should be pointing toward the front and mine were pointing towards the rear. If pointing towards the rear, then the timer assembly needed to be replaced. I replaced the timer assembly and it started making ice again. I did have to unplug the refrigerator for a few seconds to get the ice maker working.

removed old maker and inserted new one in a matter of minutes. One of the easiest repairs I ever had to make.
