I have never used the ice maker because I have a well and didn't want to usewell water to make ice. I usually make ice with bottled water.
I decided to try making ice with gravity fed water from a converted water fountain placed on a higher level than the refrigerator, locater in my garage next to the kitchen.
When I looked at the rear of the frig. I saw a copper pipe (on the bottom of the frig.) that lead to a valve, with a plastic tube that went to the freezer. I didn't think that the gravity fed water could go down to the bottom and return to the freezer at the top, so I cut the plastic tube, and fed the water directly to the ice maker.
I only put a small amount of water in my water source because I wasn't shure what would happen. The water filled the tray and the rest of the water went to the container that catches the ice.
I did get one tray of ice. I later found that the valve that the copper pipe went to, has a 7 minute timer that only allows a small amount of water to pass.
My next effort will be to connect to the copper pipe and see if it will allow the gravity fed water to rise to the ice maker. Wish me luck

took out the old cover. then put in the new one! Easy as that. Thank you.

Removed ice maker.

Bottom freezer made access a tad awkward.

New unit did not come with wiring harness, or wire rod that activates cycle, or the front cover, which required transferring those items from old unit. Instructions on internet did not address this.

Installed new unit.

Used screw driver to pop out old switch. Used pliers to hold wire connection from fall back into slot on fridge. Inserted new swith into plug and pressed new switch back in place.

Easy site to locate your part. Arrived at my house quick and installed very easy. If I ever need another appliance part I will be coming back to partselect.com!

I also ordered a solenoid valve which solved the water dispenser problem. The vidio presentation on your website plus the personal experiences enabled me to easily install the icemaker which solved the leaking icemaker problem. Two small surprises, I thought the electrical wire plugged into the rear of the refrigerator and I didn't know that I would have to cut out part of the icemaker to accomodate for the refil tube. No problem on both surprises. Thanks

I pulled out the slide out drawer the shelf on top of it too a nutdriver and remove the broken panel while the daughter-in-law cleaned out the drawers. popped the new back in a srewed it back. It was so easy I could not believe it. I am 65 and a woman!!! I was done way before my daughter-in-law was finished cleaning. LOVED IT!!!!!!

Remove the glass shelve and the lower drawers. Remove the support rods front and back. Remove three screws from the end cap. Replace end cap and replace all other parts in order. Reattach the drawer cover by putting in one side and then bending the pivot slightly to insert the otheer side.

I went on line looking for information on Amana Icemakers. Found a number of good sources,how to videos.Using the trouble shooting information I found and the how to videos and Parts Select part search to select the replacement icemaker needed for my Amana that was purchased in 1993.Rolled the frig out changed the leads on the water valve. hit the water dispenser and water went into the ice tray: Water valve good.Did a pre-teardown. Unplug Frig.removed ice bucket. removed three sheet metal screws making it easy to rotate ice maker and unplug the power/control cable. Old ice maker out ready to install new one. New icemaker arrives take ice bucket out, transfer on/off bail from old icemaker to new one attach power cable and in about thirty minutes icemaker is bolted in, fill tube in place and prefill ice tray to start the process. In afew hours we were making ice. pitched the first two harvests.Its working like a champ. Have plenty of ice. Very happy with the whole process.
