ARSE66ZBS (PARSE66ZBS0) Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

I discovered that the water inlet was freezing, then the incoming water would run into the tray. I watched the video, then removed the ice maker. I discovered the the top two screwed just had to be loosened, not removed. I removed the bottom screw and move the ice maker to the side to disconnect the wiring harness. I found it to hard to disconnect. The pinch clips did not depress as they were supposed to, but the finally release. I did the replace without unplugging the refrigerator and it went fine. Took less than 15 minutes.

I removed and inspected the old unit and found the tray coating was flaking off. I ordered the new ice maker on line, One screw and rotate unit counter clockwise about 10 degrees unlocked it from the two snap in mounts. then unplugged the wire harness and it was free. Had to put the short wire harness on new unit, reverse removal steps and it is completed and working fine.

Pried out the old switch with small screwdriver, popped in the new one and tah-dah!! ..the light came on. While I was at it, I cleaned out the freezer :). I cannot begin to imagine what a repairman would have charged for this.

Ordered the correct replacement part (Icemaker Auger and Crusher Blade Assembly) as found here at PartSelect.com. Part was delivered within two days. Removed two screws to remove the old assembly; inserted new assembly, replaced the screws and problem fixed. Couldn't be easier.

Removed old auger unit by removing two screws - installed new auger unit by replacing the two screws. Easy schmeasy!

1.Lift out the ice bucket. 2.Remove two screws at bottom. 3. Remove front (made up from parts 20 and 21 in diagram by lifting the plastic flanges at the bottom and sliding it off upwards. Fingers were adequate to lift the flanges. 4. Remove the mechanism. It comes right out. 5. Slide the mechanism into the new bucket. 6. Put the front onto the new bucket by sliding down and lifting the flanges over the ridge at the bottom of the bucket. 7. Put the two screws in at the bottom. 8. Slide the bucket back into the freezer. This was the easiest repair I have ever done.

Based on comments I read at this web site, I first ordered the water valve; that did not fix the problem. Replacing the icemaker did fix the problem. It was easy to replace. Contrary to the instructional video, I couldn't simply tilt out the icemaker at the bottom after removing the lower screww; I had to loosed the two top screws as well. The leak was caused the coating on the icemaker being cracked and peeling.

I watched the video which gave me confidence that I could do the repair which I did in very little time. One thing to emphasize though: When you remove the vertical wire connector from the back of the freezer compartment, remember which color wire is on the top. I needed to watch the repair video a second time to be able to make that determination. Probably the repair video should have mentioned keeping track of that connector regarding the re-connection of it because it could also connect when turned 180 degrees.

I watched a youtube video and completed the repair in less than an hour from start to finish and save myself a service charge. It was fairly easy, the only problem was that it was a bottom freezer and getting to the ice maker was harder than if it was a side by side or top freezer.

I used the video on your website. It made me feel very satisfied that I was able to do it myself!

I unplugged the fridge. Then I removed the ice bucket. Then I removed the ice maker using a 3/4 socket to separate the connections and then used a small screwdriver to separate whatever connections were left. Then I installed the new ice maker and checked its level. Everything now works fine.

I removed 2 screws and lifted out the old part and replaced it with the new one, I am 79 years old and it only took about 25 minutes to have ice cubes again.

Used the butter knife to pry the old switch out, it is a snap in switch so there is a small keeper on the bottom that needs to be pushed in to pop the switch out. Un hooked wires by pulling them off of the terminals (won't shock you) and put them on the new switch and popped it in

There were 23 parts to be removed in order to replace part. So I printed out a diagram of the parts off the computer and the labled each part on the diagram with its name. I laid them all out in order and patiently re-assembled the ice maker. When finished, I gave a cheer!

Popped out the old one......plugged in the new one and popped it back into place. My wife was happy in have light again in the fridge!
