JFD2589KES Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed crisper drawers and glass shelf to access the three 1/4" head hex screws holding the end cap. Removed the end cap along with attached humidity slide control. Removed drawer slide and crisper humidity slide controls from old end cap and installed on new end cap. Installed new end cap. Installed glass shelf and crisper drawers. Closed the door... Simple repair that takes 5-10 minutes.

Removed three screws, unplugged the electrical from the side of the freezer. Transferred the electric and the ice level bar to the new unit. Plugged the unit back in, installed the three screws and that was it. The teflon on the unit was coming off which caused the leak and a fowl taste in the ice cubes. The new unit took care of this. Received the package in three days, wonderful!! Anyone could do this themself!!

First, I read about 15 descriptions of this repair on your web site. Then I carefully attempted the job. I found that, as others said, the most difficult part of the replacement was the electrical connection, both unplugging and plugging it back in to the replacement part. The icemaker did not seem to function at first, so I removed the part and made sure I had fully inserted the plug into the receptacle. This took far less time than the initial removal and replacement. It began to work fine, and is really an easy job- just makes a person nervous w/o directions, etc.

Remove end cap and then figured out how to remove and replace an associated humidity device

removed the pantry drawer, pushed tabs holding the door, and door came right off. new door went on whole repair took no more than 5 minutes. Longest time took arguing with my wife on how the door came off, and she was right and I was wrong

I removed the shelving above the compartment, then removed the meat/cheese compartment to get to the RH endcap being secured by two screws. Once I attached the tray sliding mechanism onto the new endcap, it was then reinstalled, using the two screws. Shelving was then reinstalled. I also purchased a new door for the meat/cheese compartment. I installed it on the two door hinges rather easily. On a level of 1 - 10 for toughness of the job, I'd give it a 2.

Used a screwdriver to pry loose the old switch, swapped wires to the new switch and pushed it into the opening. Took about 2 minutes.

threw out the old icemaker, replaced it with the new one. just had to pry off the cap of the housing and plug the original cable to the new assembly - bingo.
I'm happy and proud - saved a large repair-bill :-)

This is 2nd of a two part troubleshooting. 1st was the inlet valve/solenoid which did not work. I then ordered the ice maker, If I would inspected the old one, I would of ordered it first as all of the coating had come off. Anyway piece of cake installing, took 3 minutes. Hint: don't get exciting if it doesn't work right away, the freezer has to reach freezing again prior water being released to it.

First I unplugged the refrigerator. Then I removed three screws holding the ice maker using a small socket set. The hardest part was unpluggung the connector on the ice maker because of the tight fit. Then I changed the plastic cover and wire rod from the old unit to the new one and reinstalled the ice maker in reverse order. l have done repairs like this before which was good because there were no instructions provided. Reading these repair stories helped remind me how easy it was to do. I had new ice in less than one hour.

Easier than expected. I reserved several hours of my time but was surprised it only took about 20 minutes. I removed the ice cube bin from the freezer and was able to access the one screw that held the ice maker assembly in place (at the bottom). Then it was just a matter of lifting the assembly off the two hooks near its top by pulling the bottom slightly away from the wall it was mounted on and sliding up. The water inlet was just a tube that slid in to the icemaker so no problem there. The wiring harness was a little tricky to disconnect or I would have been done much faster (I know better now). I moved the arm and harness from the old to the new and installed the new assembly. It took about two hours to start making ice and the bin has been full ever since.

I would like to point out that I originally ordered the part from another site who had it $2.00 cheaper with "free ground shipping". I needed it sooner than 7 to 9 days so I upgraded to 2-day shipping for an extra $19.95. After two days, it turned out they still hadn't shipped the part! I cancelled and order from PartSelect. They only charged $12.95 for two-day shipping which more than made up for the misleading $2.00 price difference. PartSelect also delivered exactly when I expected. I learned my lesson and will use PartSelect first next time.

Removed right end cap be removing 3 screws with socket set, and then two additional screws on slider plate with screwdriver. Detached the plastic piece from plastic molding on back of fridge that adjusted the temp control. Removed temp control piece from broken endcap and put on the new endcap piece. Replaced all the pieces and then put cover back on pantry drawer. Worked perfect !!

Remove ice bin. Loosen two mounting screws holding ice maker in place ( not necessary to remove screws), Remove two screws holding cover over ice auger. Behind cover is connection for ice maker. Need two hands to disconnect wiring connector from ice maker( tight area to work in,narrow shoulders and long arms help). Squeeze tab on one end of connector while pulling connectors apart. DO NOT PULL ON WIRES, ONLY PULL APART CONNECTORS.
After ice maker is out use pin points on end of timer to check contact points to be sure all contacts are made. Is possible to insert an Ohm meter probe in holes at end of timer, it is not necessary to remove timer to check unless problem is found with open contact.

Pulled the entire drawer out and then removed the damaged hinge. Removed the temp. control thingie. Placed the temp. control on the new hinge. Then I replaced it. It was easy. Thanks

Removed one screw that held the unit in place. Took a few minutes to determine how to disengage the unit from the plastic clips. The most difficult part was disconnecting the electrical cable.but in less than 30 minutes the new unit was in place and filled with water to start forming ice.
