MFD2560HES Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

It's rather easy and straight foward
(I've done about 3 of them over the years)
take out the ice tray and if you can the top rack (depending on the model of your freezer) for more elbow room. unscrew the bottom screw under- neath the ice maker, then the two top ones, this makes it easier to remove the electrical connector.
take off the old plastic housing(snaps off) put it on new one, take the old wire harness off old, put on the new one, and last take the old wire that turns on the ice maker and shuts it off when full! that pulls out and snaps in the new one, and just reverse the install process!

After reading one of the repair stories that applied to my same problem I knew exactly what to do from there. It was simple to remove the old one and install the new one. My ice maker is working great and no more overflowing water.

I found your website with the step by step video on how to replace the ice maker on my refrigerator. It looked really simple, so I ordered the part from you and it was here in 2 days. It absolutely took less than 15 min to remove the old ice maker and replace it with the new one----and it works. You helped me save close to $200.00. Thank you!!!

Replaced ice maker assembly, 5 screws out, unplug the wire, take some attachments off the old ice maker and put it on the new one, plug it in, 5 screws in...done. I did have to take a mirror to see how to unclip the wire, which turned out to be the hardest part of the whole job..

It was easy and my daughter did most of the work while I assisted.
Removed contents from freezer, unplugged refrigerator, shut off water to ice maker. Used hairdryer to thaw inside, placed ice catcher in sink to thaw. Removed defective ice maker and transferred trip lever and wire bundle to new unit. Installed new unit, bent mounting bracket located on bottom of new unit so that when installed the ice maker is horozontally level. Plugged refrig in and turned on water. Water does not come in right away as the temp probably has to be restored to freezing level before things start to work....so just let it run. In the morning lots of nice cubes and no leaks...hooray!

Had to remove the ice-maker (also easier than trying to work inside the freezer letting all the cold air out). A few mounting screws and an electrical connection in the back. After it was out you will need to remove the cover (not the superficial cover that just pries off) where the gear is behind it, just far enough so you can get the mounting tabs on the ice-stripper in. In order to to move this cover out, after removing the screws (the obvious), you'll need needle nose pliers to ever so slightly squeeze the plastic clips together that hold the plastic movable bracket and the metal ice level arm/switch, so it will pop out. Once you have room to put the ice stripper in, it should just all snap back together, then proceed in reverse to put it all back together.

I had several times tried to get the old switch out but with no success. Ordered the "repair kit" and followed directions for removing old switch (there is a plastic spring clip on one side). Easy to unplug the old switch, plug the leads into the new one, snap the new one into place. Took about 5 minutes total--piece of cake. I wish I'd thought to try this years ago when the old switch began to fail.

Removed mounting screws
Disconnected file hose
Flipped unit over to remove connecter
(This was the only difficult operation; unpluging & pluging it in)
New part fit was very good
Reversed the disassembly order to install
New assembly had to cycle a while to produce ice cubes. I'm very happy now, so bring on the hot weather.

Removed drawers from fridge, removed screws/bolts from end cap, removed end cap with busted hinge pin,installed new end cap with lid , replaced drawers

Move refrigerated and turn off water and unplug elect. Remove ice Ben and guide on right side. Move one screw on the bottom and lousen tow screws on top. Remove ice maker to unhook electrical connection. Transfer parts from old one to the new one . Revise the removal of it and when done .Plug in cord and turn on water. If you have done everything very carefully you will have ice in a few hours.Good luck.

Your video was very helpful and accurate. However, my freezer is a bottom drawer type, so I needed to remove the freezer door first. There were 4 nutscrews which needed to be loosened, and door lifted off. Now with the door off, and both baskets removed, access to the ice maker was easy like your video. Also, the freezer compartment was much more accessible for cleaning as well. In 2 days after replacing the ice maker, we have had 2 full batches of ice, with full sized cubes! Your ecommerce shopping, delivery, and instructional videos made for a great on line buying and installation experience. Note: The Dacor ice maker was replaced with a Whirlpool ice maker part. Your replacement part was identical in all respects to the original equipment even though Dacor was not included in your list of compatible brands.

watched the video you have on installation and followed it with ease. The only part you need a tool is to loosen the first nut and then everything else pretty much pops out and you reinstall with the new part. The icemaker worked within an hour and makes perfect cubes. The videos are super helpful.

Take filter out of the box and open the refrigerator. Open the housing in the frig that holds the filter and twist the light-blue piece 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise. (Put the light-blue piece in a safe place.) Take foil away from filter. With 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction, twist the filter into its position. Let five gallons run through the system to get fresh, filtered water.

Followed your video instructions and tips. Real easy

Replaced the CNTRL-ELEC board with ease. Just slide back and remove the light cover. Use flat tip screw driver to release and drop down unit. Remove connectors and attach to new board after breaking in half to fit same as old one. Programming is easy, just look at the CODE on the name plate inside the door. Mine is 0-1. Follow procedure of holding the light switch off while touching the freezer control 3 times within 10 seconds. A "P" for programming will appear. Still holding the light switch, touch the refrig control to set for your code. Freezer button says 0, refrig button says 1. When you release the light switch, the programming is done. Mine starts out with a 4-4. It is now working quieter than when it was new and is very cold again.
