JBC2088HTW Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

I never would have imagined that my husband and I could replace our ice maker so easily. We simply fired up the step-by-step video on my tablet, paused it as we did each step and voila! Usually there is a lot of cussing with any repair we do and I don't think there was even one cuss word uttered. Thank you for the clear and concise instructions!

Searching Google and Youtube produced trouble-shooting guidance to first check the water inlet valve which I did. I should have realized the valve was working since the ice-maker was trying to fill the trays. Additional advice recommended skipping all the other component troubleshooting and merely replace the old unit which I did. The big difference with the Amana appliance was the icemaker was installed laterally in the back of the freezer rather than longitudinally with the end of the control wheel positioned towards the front of the freezer. This created a tight fit in removing the old unit, especially since the wiring harness was extremely short. The latter made access to the plug release catch difficult. I used a small flat blade screwdriver and worked mainly by feel to release the plug catch. Persistent wrangling finally got the plug detached and the unit free. The water inlet hose also had a rear access orientation while the replacement unit had access was from the side. The hacksaw blade was used to cut a pre-outlined access to allow the hose to enter from the rear as with the old unit. Once the shut-off bail was transferred, wiring harness reconnected, and water inlet positioned and clipped into place, the mounting screws were secured. Within 24 hrs the first ice cubes popped and the unit has filled the ice reservoir. Keep in mind I just ordered the icemaker and did not need any other add-ons like a different wiring harness which seemed to work fine. Confirm when you order you don't need any additional parts. Good service for PartSelect. I will use them again.

Remove pantry drawer, lid, crisper drawers, glass shelf above crisper drawers and shelf holders. Unscrew the 3 hex-head screws that attach the end cap to the side of the fridge. Very carefully pull the end cap away from the side about a centimeter. The end cap is attached to a moving vent piece for the crisper drawers which makes them in to a big L-shape. The vent piece is snapped in to the back panel of the fridge, so those two pieces must be removed together. You need to carefully unsnap the vent piece away from the back panel while holding the entire end cap piece as well. Go slowly and feel your way through it. It is easy if you don't rush. After removing the two pieces that make a big L-shape, detach the vent piece from the end cap piece. Attach the vent piece to the new end cap piece, re-fit it all back into the back panel of the refrigerator and reattach the screws.

1. Watch the video. 2. Save your old ice maker's cover, metal lift bar, and power cord and clip. New one does not come with the cover, metal lift bar and power cord and power cord clip 3. My ice maker had three screw. two on top that only need to be loosened. on e on the bottom that has to be removed

unplug power! Remove the screws from lower panel on back of refrigerator. Lift wire mount out of back panel. Capacitor is mounted directly to the relay and overload switch located on the left side of the compressor. Remove the spring clip holding the capacitor in place and pull the old capacitor out. Plug in new capacitor and replace spring clip. Use vacuum to remove dust from drip pan and wipe fan blades clean. Replace wire into slot on back panel and replace screws. Remove front coil cover below freezer door. vacuum dust off coils and replace cover. Plug refrigerator in and enjoy cold beverages. Relay and overload kit were not required for this repair.

Found water line in was leaking as well- all in all great repair video explained well and now in have filtered water and ice! Wife thinks I'm a hero

after following instructions of previous posters, the hardest part for me was reinstalling the deli drawer lid. I was told it had to flex a little to get it on both hinges but mine didn't flex at all so I put on the left hinge and then put the right hinge on and put the right side pantry end cap in all as one piece. That worked easiest for me.

I followed the instructions shown on the YouTube video on the Parts Select site. I had to make a few modifications. There were two nuts that had to be loosened to lift the ice maker off the freezer wall. The mounting bracket had to be transferred from the old icemaker to the new one to align with the hole in the freezer to reattach. The white wire went under the clip was a black wire but it was easily recognized. Other than that it was very straight forward and I had new ice in a few hours. I would definitely do it again.

Ordered the left and right side parts. It took 4 time for them to send me a left side. They keeper sending the right side. It turned out that the wrong part was in the wrong ben. After they sent me the correct part it only took about 20 min to fix my refrigerator.

I popped the broken panel out and installed the replacement.

Placed in window and pulled out sliders.

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.

Remove plastic vent cover. Just snaps out. Take out two screws that hold damper cover on. Unclip and unplug damper assembly. Snap in new assembly and plug in. Replace covers. I was pretty sure this would fix my problem after observing the damper for several days. It would stay open and when I moved it by hand it would open a little more and then close. Easy fix!

I watched the video on PartSelect's web site and did it exactly as described. The video was probably the most helpful aid in the repair.

Replaced water filter head. Very easy to do. Make sure that you also have a bucket so that you don't spill water everywhere when you disconnect the water line from the fridge.
