JCD2289AES Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

I followed the directions from the YouTube video, which were spot on correct! Loved it. No problems. I did have to wind the spring one more turn than it showed on the video, but that was easy to figure out. No problems!

Once I received the new icemaker, I removed the old one by loosening the two upper screws and removing the lower. The wire connector came out easily. The wire and the bale from the old unit had to be transferred to the new unit. Then the new unit was reinstalled and the wire plugged back in. It took several hours for the cubes to begin dropping.

Removed the ice tray bin and removed the ice tray support housing/auger housing. Make sure your unplug the auger and controls, 4 plug electric connector, from the back of the refrigerator prior to pulling the housing from the freezer! Disambled the auger motor and controls from the ice tray support housing and installed them in the new unit. Plugged in the electric connecter, slid it back in place, reinstalled, ice bin. Tada, ice through the door as designed. A major retail appliance repair company estimated this repair at $750. I completed it in 30 minutes with an $80 part...

After unplugging the microwave and removing the screw, I removed the old bulb and put in the new one!! I made sure it was in securely and the difference in the light was awesome! I use this light when I bake bread and let it rise inside the microwave, but DO NOT turn it on. The heat from this light helps the bread to rise properly!!

I replaced the Start relay first to see if frig kicked back on WOW with in 30 mins ice and cold! Very easy and way cheaper the a tech coming to my home recommend trying this easy fix for anyone

Removed the old grill and replsced the new. No time at all!!!

I had to buy the ice dispenser solenoid AND door kit just to get the door kit. The little flapper door was all that needed repair. I followed the video and this was so easy.. anyone could do this repair. PartSelect made this small job easy. Many thanks. HBoykin

The home service repair through our utility company checked the refridgerator and then looked for parts. Their conclusion is the part was no longer available and we should "just reach into the icemaker when we want ice until we replace the refridgerator.) The refridgerator is a top of the line model and replacement cost is well over $2,000 so that wasn't a good option. So I checked PartSelect and found the part which I received in 3 days, installed it in a few minutes and we're back in operation!

The part came in 5 days from time order. take less then 10 minute done. part work well, have ices again, Thank you Part Select. we don't have to buy a new Rerigerator

I started by changing the water inlet valve. It made one batch but it did not eject into the ben. I removed the ice maker and found that the coating inside was bad. I changed out the ice maker and it is now making lots of ice.

unpluged the refrigerator and let the frost meltdown and putting the new part was very easy!!!

Remove the panels that cover the evap. Coils and replaced the defrost heater and thermostst assembly. I replaced the timer before, but that did not correct the problem. Because of the amount of frost on the coils I used my wife's hair dryer to melt the frost. (It shorten the down time)

I went on line and viewed the video. It looked so easy I ordered the new ice maker. Having the information I was able to take apart the old one and view the problem. By the time the new part arrived I was experienced with the installation. I was shocked when the new ice maker arrived within 1 day. I completed the installation without a hitch, I was delighted with the ease of installation and the operation of the new iace maker.Thanks again...Ray

I removed contents of freezer as this was a bottom unit. I had to remove freezer drawers/door to easily access ice maker which was located in the back of unit,wasnt a problem.I did however take a hair dryer to water tube as it froze up with about an 6 inch tube of ice that finally slid down. Connected unit and had ice within an hour or so and a full tray within 24 hrs. Second ice maker in little over a year...Video very helpful, saved 100 bucks by doing myself. Part arrived fast, great job!

We ordered a PartSelect PS2121513 ice maker. I was concerned that there was no instructions shipped with the unit. Fortunately, PartSelect had an online video that guided me through the process. It wasn't that complex really. The only time I felt totally dumb was when using my nut driver to remove the bottom bracket. I couldn't figure out why there was no 1/4" socket with my set, so I used a small socket wrench instead. I finally figured out that the driver was already a 1/4", without a socket in it. After that it was easy. Slid the ice maker up a little to free it from the top mounting screws. Pulled it outward a bit to gain access to the connector at the back of the freezer, then squeezed the two sides of the connector and out it came. I popped the plastic cover off the existing device and then removed the connector as instructed in the video. I also removed the bale (as per the video). I put the connector harness, plastic cover and bale on the new ice maker and put it back in, this time using the nut driver on the bottom bracket :-). My only concern after that was that it didn't seem to be working. I had no idea that it needed some time to get cold before it would work. After about an hour, it filled with water and began making ice. Success.
