JS48PPFXDA Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

I removed the water filter located in the refrigerator and replaced it with the bypass plug. The ice cubes and the water dispenser work properly . I am pleased with the outcome especially the price was only $15 and less than 5 minutes of my time. Maytag recommends replacing the water filter every six months at $40 a filter. One can see how this will add up in time. Eventually I am installing an after market water filter in line prior to the refrigerator.

Had to disassemble ice maker to install part. . .

1/4 turn of old filter. it popped out. Inserted new filter, 1/4 turn and it clicked in. Piece of cake. I'm a freakin' genius.

Unscrewed old filter and screwed in new filter.

First i unplugged the appliance!!! Then I removed the three screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. installed fan.
Removed inside panels from back of freezer and de-frosted coils with hair dryer (20mins).
CAUTION! "Mop up and dry area of exsess water before pluging appliance back in!
Re- assemble panels and plug in.

Technician at ASK suggested replacing ice maker. Ordered new ice maker(prompt delevery)then noticed it came without wire arm and white platic "flag". Ordered arm and "flag", replaced all old with new and seems to be doing well. Perhaps all I needed was the plastic "flag" on the limit arm wire. Will never know. The new icemaker wiring had short wires and a connector. Old ice maker had no connector so the short wires were removed and the old wires plugged into the ice maker. Mirror was required in order to see the side wall mounting screws. Very narrow work area, tiny freezer side.

unpluged frig, removed rear cover removed 120v supply connector, removed three fan support screws.Changed fan blades to new motor unit installed fan support screws,installed 120v connector plug frig in, test fan installed rear cover .....

First removed the old water filter and replaced it with the filter bypass. Very simple and no tools needed

The Ice maker unit had to be removed and the shaft had to also be removed, which required dis-assembling the motor drive. The thickness of the shaft and the bearing fill cup prevents it from simply pushing it in place. Other than that I have Ice.

Very easy to order from parts select. Took seconds to replace.

change light bulbs

Replaced filter with by-pass plug. For some reason though, ice maker does no longer functions, although there is flow out of the cold water tap. Is the design of the bypass plug such that, when installed, it impedes flow to the ice-maker?

Thanks

Removed screws from upper hinge. Removed washer from door stopper on bottom hinge. Lifted door off lower hinge. Replaced bushing.

Took about 15 minutes and cost less than $12. Service call alone was going to be $70.

I watched your online video on how to take out the old filter, and then to replace it with the new filter. It was as easy as on the video. Thanks!

Instructions were great five minutes to remove and replace fan....Thank You............ saved big money
