ARB8057CSR (PARB8057CS0) Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

Followed your video instructions and tips. Real easy

Getting the old ice maker out was not difficult - it sits on a small ridge built into the freezer and then it takes three screws to attach it to the side of the refrigerator. Three important things to remember: (1) take off the metal bar that shuts off the ice maker from the old part, the new part doesn't come with the bar; (2) keep the screws and the cap from the old ice maker as they don't come with the replacement part either; and (3) make sure you put the water tube back into the holder otherwise it will pour all over the freezer (and not into the ice tray).

Simply replaced cover by hand. No tools required.

I watched your "silent video". I am a 62 year old woman that is very hands on when it comes to tools and power tools. It was very easy.

I have an Amana fridge on top freezer drawer on bottom unit don't have the model # handy. First unplug the unit. Then remove the cover on the refridge compartment cooling control knob complete with the lights and all. There is a video on part select that shows removing both this cover and the rear cold air inlet cover but if you are careful you don't have to remove the rear cover. That was done to allow removal of the plastic pulley belt that goes from the control knob at the front to the actuator gear at the back. I just popped the front cover and let it hang gently from the belt and then simply unscrewed the timer (screws on the underside so you have to snap the light cover off first). Then you can very quickly unplug the old timer and plug in the new one, reinstall the screws and pop the whole thing back into the roof of the fridge. Not sure if that was the only problem so I opted to replace the thermostat as well. This is in the freezer compartment behind the back panel. I had the ice maker on the left. First you want to remove the drawers and Door of the freezer leave the drawer slides in you can simply lift the drawers and door front up and out. Then push the slides back in. Next you have to get the ice maker out of the way. Just remove the three screws holding to the wall of the freezer and unplug the electric line. It has a plastic plug that disconnects easily. When you get it out the water fill hose will be sticking through the back wall of the freezer. Now just remove the 4 screws at the corners of the back freezer wall panel. Then you can grab the panel top and bottom center and pull it. It will bend enough to spring clear of the drawer slides on either side. Mine was frozen in place and needed some heating with a hair dryer. Once it let go it came out easily. Next I had to defrost the whole coil behind it was solid with ice including the thermostat to be replace. The thermostat was in the upper right corner. Looked exactly like the one in the kit. It is clipped to the copper refrigeration line. Just unclip it. It has two wires color coded brown and orange. Can't screw this up. The replacement just had stripped end wires. Would have been nice to have electrical plugs to make replacement a plug and play but not. Just cut the wires to the old one leaving a little to work with in the freezer. You can always cut it shorter if you need to. Then just strip the wires in the freezer and wire nut the new one in with the wire nuts included and wrap with electrical tape then reclip the new thermostat to the copper cooling line same place it was before and go backwards to put everything back in and plug the thing in.That's it. It will take a while to cool down and you won't here the compressor right away some type of time delay I guess. Its been a week now and works fine. Much cheaper than having a guy come to the house. Think of it this way once your done your beer can get cold again!

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.

Shut off refrigerator; unplugged. Removed all contents of freezer. Then detached freezer drawer. Four screws that hold on back panel were removed; could then carefully remove right side; cut out defrost temp sensor and replaced with new unit. Used pressure caps to combine wires; filled caps with epoxy. It was difficult to work behind the back panel without complete removal (which would have been difficult = would have had to remove ice maker and drawer guides) but it can be done. Put all back together; it works fine. Thanks PartSelect!

The icemaker in my Maytag refrigerator was having a few problems. First, a small leak developed in the ice cube tray, allowing water to drip into the ice bucket. This of course caused the ice to become one solid mass, totally inappropriate for a gin and tonic. After a couple of months of this, it stopped working altogether. On to the internet I went, and discovered how easy this repair actually was. One nut to remove, one to put it back in. The installation video was very helpful. I did have a concern at first because the icemaker did not start making ice rights away. I thought it might be a defective unit. It took about 12 hours to get the first batch and it has been happily cranking out the ice since! Ed in upstate New York.

The drawer and drawer frame needed to be replaced. The part arrived on time, was correct and the repair was very easy.

I pulled out the old crisper and put in the new one.. For the other, I had watched the video so I saw that you needed a nutdriver to remove the cap. It was easy.

disconnected el. power to fridge. pried out broken switch with small screwdriner and pulled out w/water pump pliers. installed new switch and pressed into opening.

First of all, I watched the very helpful video on your site, when the part arrived, I installed the rail all by myself...I am a female, and it was very easy..thank you for the video information, very helpful..

Followed the video as a guideline. It was not exactly as portrayed. My husband and I, being long time do it yourselfer's, were able to get around the differences. There were screws, instead of tabs as pictured in the video, plus had to remove 4 screws instead of one to loosen the old icemaker. After 2 days the icemaker is pumping out loads of ice.

about 30 minutes. no problem

Unscrewed the old filter and screwed in the new one
