Thank you PartSelect. Ordered the replacement icemaker for our Amana refigerator, watched the installation video on PartSelect.com. Followed the instructions, took 15 minutes, works like new. Couldn't have been easier.

Pulled out the refrigerator and removed the two panels from the rear of the refrigerator. Removed the fan held in by four screws and unplugged the connector. Soldered on the original connector, installed the fan to the motor and re-installed the unit into the refrigerator. Then blew out and vaccumed the condenser coils.

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

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.

I also ordered a solenoid valve which solved the water dispenser problem. The vidio presentation on your website plus the personal experiences enabled me to easily install the icemaker which solved the leaking icemaker problem. Two small surprises, I thought the electrical wire plugged into the rear of the refrigerator and I didn't know that I would have to cut out part of the icemaker to accomodate for the refil tube. No problem on both surprises. Thanks

disconnected electric harness removed screws installed new ice dispensing unit

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

Disconnted current icemaker and removed from freezer. Took off front cover and long arm that control ice dispenser. Put cover and control arm on new icemaker, reconnected bundled wires into new icemaker and clipped along side of icemaker and remounted into freezer. Connnected into back panel for power and checked water supply line to make sure it was lined up properly and job was done. Made sure arm was in down position, had ice cubes in an approx 90 mins.

I found your website with the step by step video on how to replace the ice maker on my refrigerator. It looked really simple, so I ordered the part from you and it was here in 2 days. It absolutely took less than 15 min to remove the old ice maker and replace it with the new one----and it works. You helped me save close to $200.00. Thank you!!!

After reading one of the repair stories that applied to my same problem I knew exactly what to do from there. It was simple to remove the old one and install the new one. My ice maker is working great and no more overflowing water.

It's rather easy and straight foward
(I've done about 3 of them over the years)
take out the ice tray and if you can the top rack (depending on the model of your freezer) for more elbow room. unscrew the bottom screw under- neath the ice maker, then the two top ones, this makes it easier to remove the electrical connector.
take off the old plastic housing(snaps off) put it on new one, take the old wire harness off old, put on the new one, and last take the old wire that turns on the ice maker and shuts it off when full! that pulls out and snaps in the new one, and just reverse the install process!

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the electric plug.
Then I removed the old unit & replaced it with the new, reverseing the proceedure.

First I unplugged wiring harness from the inside of the freezer. Then removed two small bolts on top side and one on the bottom. Then took it out of the freezer. Then unplugged the wiring harness from the ice maker. Then plugged it into the new ice maker. Then reinstalled it back into the freezer with the three bolts.Then plugged it back in.
