ARB2117BC (PARB2117BC0) Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

removed 2 crisper drawers. took off glass self. lifted frame and removed broken support post and replaced with new one. popped glass shelf and 2 drawers back in place. done in under 5 minutes.

I followed the video on your sight showing how to replace the gasket. Was easy enough, except I was trying to put the new one back on and it didn't seem right. I was trying to put the long flange behind the inside door/shelf panel. That was backward. Only a little ridge goes behind the panel. Just enough to snap under it and secure it when you tighten the screws down. I hate to say it, I knew the screws were hidden under the gasket, but was just trying too hard to put it on backwards! Piece of cake once I turned it around.

This refrigerator has the freezer on the bottom. You have to remove both of the drawers to get to the icemakeer. I did not disconnect the water line or the power to the unit because it is a hassle to pull the unit out of the hole where it resides. I first unplugged the power from the icemaker to the unit and used a flat tip screwdriver to get the icemaker out. The old one was gross. We had noticed flakes in the ice for over a year but thought it was the water. The wire bar from to stop making ice had to be moved from the old icemaker to the new one as well as a brace on the bottom of the icemaker and the front cover. This is all easy. The hardest part of the repair was getting the larger drawer back on its guide. Honestly, this was a repair my 11 yr old grandson could have done with some supervision. I'm guessing I easily saved $100 by repairing this myself.

Extremly easy - just followed the video exactly. Changing the ice make out couldn't have been more easy. when the ice maker was out - noticed some ice build up in the filling water tube. Used the hair dryer to defrost (will replace the double outlet water valve to stop this once my husband is there to help me pull out the frig.) We now have perfect ice cubes. still slowly having issues with some ice build up - but know the water valve is bad too. more to come!!

replaced ice maker, followed the on line video instructions and it was the easied repair i've ever made it took less then 15 minutes

The replacement ice maker was exactly the same size and model. All the mounting screws lined up and install was snap. The website parts description was very good and helpful. We now have ice cubes with no over flowing glacier in the ice tray.

Move refrigerated and turn off water and unplug elect. Remove ice Ben and guide on right side. Move one screw on the bottom and lousen tow screws on top. Remove ice maker to unhook electrical connection. Transfer parts from old one to the new one . Revise the removal of it and when done .Plug in cord and turn on water. If you have done everything very carefully you will have ice in a few hours.Good luck.

I followed the directions I saw on here. Absolutely watch the video on this site. It helped me understand better what I had ahead of me and allowed me to clear my schedule for the repair. I did not need to heat up the gasket. The weather has been pretty warm and there weren't any real kinks. The biggest challenge I had was getting the screws out and back in again on the freezer panel. The corner screws are tough to reach once the gasket is in place, but I used my fingers a lot and it all worked out. I did have to use a hairdryer to melt a ton of ice that had built up on the back of the panel the gasket installs on. This took by far the longest amount of time. By the way, I'm a mom and while I'm pretty handy, it should give encouragement to all the women out there who are thinking of tackling this job.

I had to replace the whole unit. The tray should have lasted longer and there should have been a replacement tray available.The installation was easy. 3 screws removed, unplug unit, turn off water and put in new unit.
