CTB1722GRW Magic Chef Refrigerator - Instructions

It was so easy. I loosened the three screws that held the ice maker on ( removed the bottom one ) unplugged the wire harness and the old came out. I repeated the process in referse and waited about an hour and we were making ice. The other thing that was so impessive was the part was ordered about 2PM in the afternoon and I had it the next day. I am very impressed. Thank you so much as now adays it is hard to find good customer service.

Used my Google-Fu and came to Parts Select with your (consumers like Moi)comments,looked at the Vids on UTube and ordered a new ice maker assy. Came in 3 days! Swapped out the power cord, arm and my old cover then hit the breaker back on and... ICE! WOOT! I am an 83 yr old grandmother w/ 27 grand-kids. Swear you won't tell ANY of them I did this. I will babysit the munchkins but I will NOT fix their fridges. Heh.

Screwed in light bulb and glass protector

I pulled down the wire around the glass cover. . . Released on end of the wire from its holder being careful to not let the glass cover drop. Unscrewed the bulb and replaced with replacement. Easy, easy.

Please bear in mind I am 65 years old & it was harder to get up & down off the floor then to change the switch. Was very easy - watched video, unplugged unit. I used the putty knife at the right front corner to work loose, when it came loose had to loose the left side a little. The unit pulled out easily. detached the wired that had a single plug with 2 prongs on it. Attached the plug, pushed new switch into place. There was no way you could place wires on wrong prong. When done, plugged refrigerator back in & checked if working. I CAN SEE THE LIGHT and the food in the freezer now. Thank you for making an easy repair.

I pried the old one out with a screw driver and pushed the new one in. I expected instructions in the box it came in but there were none.

unscrewed the old one! installed the new one! That simple. And I'm female, how easy was that!

took the replacement part and removed to 2 salvageable parts from the leaking tray and installed the 2 on the new tray and then reinstalled the whole unit and we again have ice cubes.

Removed ice maker.

Bottom freezer made access a tad awkward.

New unit did not come with wiring harness, or wire rod that activates cycle, or the front cover, which required transferring those items from old unit. Instructions on internet did not address this.

Installed new unit.

My owners manual said to unplug fridge from elec outlet, use a kitchen knife to gently pry off the switch plate
(manual had a pictoral example), unclip the two wire, replace with on new switch and replace the switch. Close
door and plug back in. Open door to check that the lite
works. Walla! It did. Thanks!

Researched your web site - determined best bet was to replace the ice maker unit. Ordered the new ice maker and believe it it or not it was here in 3 days and installed EXACTLY as it was stated. Frankly it was a snap and was easier than ever expected. Thanks

disconnected electric harness removed screws installed new ice dispensing unit

Popped the old one out with a kitchen knife and popped the new one back in. It tool less than 15 seconds!!

Side by side refrigerators are tough to get two arms inside the freezer side (and do much work) especially to unlatch the power connect. The water tube on this old refrigerator feeds from the back so I took a pair of kitchen shears and made a new opening in the back of the catch basin. Sealed the original opening. Don't know if that was necessary. The video was a big help for this parts change. Much easier than expected. G Keen
