JIM158XBRB1 Jenn-Air Ice Maker - Instructions

Followed instructions in owner's manual, which are also on the bottle of cleaner we ordered. Very easy to use. Only had to take ice out of bin, and cut ice maker off, then add the cleaner to the water pan, and press button to clean. It was very easy, and effective. The buildup of stain, etc. was removed completely. We just had to turn the icemaker back on, and allow time for ice to begin filling the bin.
Thanks very much.

Removed ice scoop and holder. Remove front cover and pump bracket. Replaced pump and replaced covers. Started up and working well.

There was a loud noise coming from the fridge - we ordered the new part it came a lot sooner than we excepted and we replaced it in about 20 minutes- the hardest part was my husband getting his hand in there to put the screws in- but a very easy fix.

I replaced the bin ice sensor with the new one from partselect.

remove tray from icemaker by removing 2 screws and disconnecting 2 electrical connectiona. Remove broken wire and restring new wire. Reinstall tray.

Removed the grid. Removed the existing top to bottom wire. Restrung the grid with the new wire. Then, it cut ice just fine-better than new. Note: wire provided is only sufficient to rewire side to side or top to bottom, not both. If you need to do both, you'll need 2. Yes, lots of money for a few feet of wire.

I called a repairman to come out and he said it would cost $320 dollars for the repair. So I bought the part and spent $85 dollars and about 25 minutes to repair it myself

Took off several plastic covers to gain better accessibility to the sensor. Had to pull out the whole support piece to get at the part. Took out the old sensor, cleaned the unit as best as possible, then installed the replacement. Turned on the power to the unit and reinstalled all the parts I took out for better viewing and accessibility. Started up the unit and it is slowly building ice, which I will remove and dispose of to start getting clean ice.

Unscrewed clamp holding water tube to refrigerator ice maker. Pulled water tube from ice maker and water valve inlet. Cut the new tubing to the exact same length and inserted one end to the water valve inlet and the other end to the ice maker then screwed clamp holding water tube back to the refrigerator ice maker.

r&r fan blade and motor. with the parts you supplied it was easy. the parts were perrrrfect. thank you very much. job well done. bruce

just replaced the water inlet valve, it took less than 10 minutes. Ordering the part was just as simple, no hassle what so ever. Got the part as promised and installed it in minutes just as it was explained. I will come back to this site in a hart-beat.

Thanks

The post I read said start at the middle and work your way out towards the left and right. This was incorrect. All I did was secure one end to the torx screw and tighten it down. I then slowly pulled the wire as tight as I could around each insulator, going slow so as to not kink the wire (very easy to do). Once I was at the other torx screw I used a pair of linesman plyers to gently tug each wire tighter, I needed an extra pair of hands to hold the grid down. Once everything was tight I wrapped the last torx screw and tightened. Here's what no one is saying, you will not get the wire as tight as it originally was but that's ok. After I got everything reinstalled the ice maker is making ice like a champ.

removed broken wire, replaced with new wire and screwed the 6 tensions screws to tighten the grid wire.

Unplugged refrigerator, Removed lower back panel, Removed fan from fan bracket, Installed new fan to fan bracket, Installed new wire assembly to fan, Replaced back panel. Plugged refrigerator back in and it works great. Only tool needed was 1/4" socket.

Followed the video on parts page. I was worried I would brake the cover but learned from the video the right way to remove the front plate. I found the video very informing. Thank you for saving me a service call and the part cost was minimal compared to a new refrigerator .
