MSD2651HEW Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

the repair was very easy,used 1/4 inch nut driver removed the necessary screws from mounting plate and dual valve. removed all lines from old valve cut 1/4 inch from tip of lines and replaced into new valve. replaced electrical leeds and resecured plate and valve.

Changing the ice maker was easy as per video instructions. I did not shut down power during replacement. The new unit started making ice within an hour or so, however, the next morning, liquids on the refrigerator top shelf were freezing up! I lowered the frig temp set point one number, but the top shelf continued to freeze. My son had had a similar experience, and he suggested turning power off to the unit for several minutes. I turned off the breaker for about 15 minutes, then back on. The top shelf freezing problem cleared up, and everything started working like it should!

It went as your installation video showed but a lot more water came from the lines after I turned it off. Luckily and had a bucket and extra towels on hand prior to my installation.

If you watch the video on PartsSelect that will give you a general idea of how to do the repair except mine was in a bottom drawer freezer. You have streach a little to get to the screws holding the ice maker to un-screw them just enough to lift the ice maker out.

Repair was super easy. Assembled each piece as shown on sheet. Removed the drip tray and 2 hex nuts. Either get someone to hold the panel or, what I did was rest it on a step ladder. Inside you have to remove 3 more hex nuts--pull out the plastic housing and and snap the chute door in place lining up the three notches. Put everything back together and no more frost (or flies or gnats either, for that matter!).

New part arrived in 15 hours with regular shipping. Watched your video and had old one out and new one in, in 20 min and ice in an hour more. Fantastic!!!

It is a simple and quick repair especially if one is even a little capable. May take some extra care and thinking for one who is not but still should be fairly quick and without troubles. I am not happy with the product as it does not make ice even half as quickly as the original. Many have stated the first or the first few cycles are very long and then it became quicker and more normal. Its been a week and I also tried shut it off several times just to reset it. It makes ice wonderfully but takes forever. I've yet to have a full bin of ice. Even without using ice for a couple days or very little in a few days. I am considering returning it for this reason.

Removed ice rack and ice maker. installed and tested new unit.

UNPLUG the unit from the wall plug. Slide out enough to access the fiber panel at the bottom. Remove the six screws from the panel with a nut driver. Slide the electrical cord upward out of the slot and remove the panel. The start device and run capacitor can be found on the left side of the compressor. Using a flat screw driver, insert between the capacitor and the retaining clip and twist the screwdriver to remove the clip. Observe the orientation of these devices to replace with new ones. Unplug these two together from the compressor. Then disconnect the electrical two-prong plug from these devices. Replace with the new ones, being careful not to bend the two spade connectors on the start device.

I never would have imagined that my husband and I could replace our ice maker so easily. We simply fired up the step-by-step video on my tablet, paused it as we did each step and voila! Usually there is a lot of cussing with any repair we do and I don't think there was even one cuss word uttered. Thank you for the clear and concise instructions!

First I bought the 3 parts for the ice maker door & put that all together & tested it & IT DIDN'T WORK!! Then I reread what other people did & I ordered the solenoid, the hinge, & the spring. I remembered from my first go 'round to put a solid color towel on the floor to catch that pesky screw from the top right every time it fell. I know NOTHING about mechanics but this was nothing but common sense; almost like following the dots, except that I didn't know how to put the spring on, I had to figure out that the HINGE goes THRU the spring. Other than that, I think I just saved myself a $200 service call.

Opened box removed Icemaker Auger and Crusher Blade Assembly (assembled). Removed Ice bucket from refrigerator, took off face cover, removed two screws at the bottom of auger assembly and removed the auger from the bucket and inserted the new one replaced the two screws. Installed the Ice bucket. Worked like a charm.

Searching Google and Youtube produced trouble-shooting guidance to first check the water inlet valve which I did. I should have realized the valve was working since the ice-maker was trying to fill the trays. Additional advice recommended skipping all the other component troubleshooting and merely replace the old unit which I did. The big difference with the Amana appliance was the icemaker was installed laterally in the back of the freezer rather than longitudinally with the end of the control wheel positioned towards the front of the freezer. This created a tight fit in removing the old unit, especially since the wiring harness was extremely short. The latter made access to the plug release catch difficult. I used a small flat blade screwdriver and worked mainly by feel to release the plug catch. Persistent wrangling finally got the plug detached and the unit free. The water inlet hose also had a rear access orientation while the replacement unit had access was from the side. The hacksaw blade was used to cut a pre-outlined access to allow the hose to enter from the rear as with the old unit. Once the shut-off bail was transferred, wiring harness reconnected, and water inlet positioned and clipped into place, the mounting screws were secured. Within 24 hrs the first ice cubes popped and the unit has filled the ice reservoir. Keep in mind I just ordered the icemaker and did not need any other add-ons like a different wiring harness which seemed to work fine. Confirm when you order you don't need any additional parts. Good service for PartSelect. I will use them again.

1. Watch the video. 2. Save your old ice maker's cover, metal lift bar, and power cord and clip. New one does not come with the cover, metal lift bar and power cord and power cord clip 3. My ice maker had three screw. two on top that only need to be loosened. on e on the bottom that has to be removed

unplug power! Remove the screws from lower panel on back of refrigerator. Lift wire mount out of back panel. Capacitor is mounted directly to the relay and overload switch located on the left side of the compressor. Remove the spring clip holding the capacitor in place and pull the old capacitor out. Plug in new capacitor and replace spring clip. Use vacuum to remove dust from drip pan and wipe fan blades clean. Replace wire into slot on back panel and replace screws. Remove front coil cover below freezer door. vacuum dust off coils and replace cover. Plug refrigerator in and enjoy cold beverages. Relay and overload kit were not required for this repair.
