JFD2589KES Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

It was super easy. I just cut the power to the fridge, took 3 screws out to remove the old icemaker, undid the power supply. Then I kept the supply wires, cover and ice maker arm and installed them on the new part. I plugged the supply wires back in, attached the new ice maker with a nut driver, installed the cover and arm. Turned the power back on and it's done. Just takes a few minutes!!!

Part was easy to order, delivered quickly, installation very easy. Just unplug the unit, pop out the old swich using a screwdriver, disconnect and reconnect leads and pop switch back in. Definitely recommend that you can do it too.

I first removed both crisper drawers.You then remove the glass top. With that out of the way you remove the two 1/4 inch screws out of the drawer track, then remove the three screws., be careful whenyou remove the part not to damage the lever contoling the tempeture. You then reverse the procedure. Not hard at all. Thae parts were fantastic. I would recommend the to everyone. Thank you very much.

6. Remove side metal slider from end cap.
7. Dissasmble temp valve slider from endcap and rear cap.
8. Remove temp valve control knob and handle from end cap.

I originally replaced the inlet valve--it was cheaper. It did not solve my problem. So I ordered the icemaker for my Amana side-by-side; it came the next day! Remove ice bucket, unplug electric, even left the water on. Remove 3 screws holding the old icemaker in. The wiring harness on my fridge was too short to allow me to remove the plug from the old icemaker, so I had to remove the metal mounting plate behind the icemaker to allow me to have enough slack to turn the icemaker and depress the projection on the plug while pulling it from the socket. The icemaker comes right out then. Took off the bail and installed it on the new one. The left side is the important one that engages the mechanism while the right side is just a slave or tender that holds it in position. Plug the wiring harness plug into the new icemaker (be sure to get it in right side up and fully engage the projection on the plug into the hole on the side of the socket--that keeps it from ever working out from vibration or unintended or accidental manipulation. Place the old icemaker end cap over the new icemaker end to shield the mechanism on the left side. Remount the mounting plate to the sides of the freezer with the original 4 screws. I suggest putting a paper or something underneath your work--it is tight quarters and screws are easy to drop. A magnetic nutdriver might help here. Tighten the 4 screws, tuck the wiring harness up under the metal clip (that keeps it up and out of the way of future accidental injury or dislodging). Then use the nut driver to place the 3 original screws which hold the icemaker to the mounting plate. Start all 3, then assess for level mounting before you tighten them--a crooked or unlevel mount job will be inefficient and yield irregular ice cubes. Reinstall the ice bucket and lower the bail which detects the need for more ice and starts the process. Plug the electric back in and turn the water back on (if you shut it off). I had the first cubes in a couple of hours. It will take a while for the cycle to start, so don't worry if you don't have water flowing into the tray right away.

It was no surprise that this was an easy repair, but I must say that I was completely impressed that the part was on my door step in 24 hours with STANDARD shipping.

After removing the crisper and meat drawers, then the glass shelf, removal of the broken end cap was fairly simple and straight forward. I removed 2 hex headed screws with a nut driver. Next I removed the temp control linkage from the old end cap, reinstalled it onto the new end cap and remounted to the refrigerator and that was that. The most impressive part was how rediculously fast the shipping was for the part itself!! I ordered on a Thursday evening and it was on my porch Saturday morning!

Using a nut driver remove the left side panel and install the replacement part. Most of the time spent was finding the nut driver and removing the food items.

I removed 2 trays and a glass plate. Then removed the broken cap. I removed the tray slide hardware from the broken enc cap and installed it on the new end cap. Then installed the end cap in the refrigerator and replaced the glass plate and 2 trays.

Everything fit properly and the job took about 20 minutes.

I checked the part I needed on line, ordered it and it got here really fast. I emptied the shelves above the meat drawer so I could easily remove the meat drawer and shelf. I was able to remove the left side pantry drawer by using a nutdriver to remove the screws. I put the new part in place, replaced the screws and we were back in business! It took about 45 minutes primarily because I washed down the shelves as I went.

Unplug appliance. Socket wrench to unscrew two screws. Module drops down. disconnected two press-on wires by prying off with screwdriver. Removed old switch. Press-fit new switch. Reconnected two wires (color coded). Screwed module back in place. Plug in appliance.

found instructions at all parts.com website and was able to do it. Has to send part back because bracket was out of shape and promptly received another part in a few days and received a refund for the broken part,Great service thank you

Checked on the web site and followed the guidelines.
Was a real smooth job with the exception of the freezer door. This model is a lower freezer model and I did not remove the door, thus had to work over it. Other than that it was a piece of cake.

Very simple if you have the right size nut driver. took less than 10 min.
