10656536400 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

Watch replacement video then went from there. It was a simple replacement. Icemaker working and wife is happy:)

I took the ice maker right out

Defrosted freezer only. . . . Unplugged fridge. Took hairdryer and made sure all access water was turned off to fridge; then kept heat on hose lines behind metal panel for 10 minutes. Saved myself 382. 00 Repair bill and within an hour had the ice machine banging out the ice. When going on vacation, make sure ice maker is turned off and even if it doesn't work when you get back, defrost freezer before calling help! Saves sooo much money and the new fridge I was told I'd have to purchase if it happened again. Don't think so!!!!!!

At first I just ordered a new motor and followed the instructions on the video . The new motor started working overtime but no water was being delivered to the tray . Ordered a new tray and re-installed. Working fine now. At first the ice was sticking, but that seems to have stopped now. It may be better to pull the ice maker out and check to see if there is damage to the tray before ordering. That way it could save the time of not doing things twice.

Replaced control and motor on the basis that most respondents found this unit to be at fault when the icemaker failed. Unfortunately, this wasn't the problem. Sudsequently, I replaced the electrionic boards which did fix the system. It would have been helpful (and less expensive) if the patrsselect website provided more help with problem diagnosis. Otherwise, the website is great!

Remove ice unit to take out ice. Remove both boards and replace.Had to unplug refig to thaw out water line because it froze when unit would not make ice.

It was a very simple repair. The only frustration is that all I needed was a small plastic part on the motor assembly but had to buy the entire assembly. Glad that I found the assembly much cheaper on your site, but wish I could have just bought the small plastic part.

After watching the video, it was just a matter of pulling one screw, changing the icemaker and reinstalling the screw. Super simple and now we have ice!

Just as the video described except there was a rubber fill tube hanging down from the top of the freezer that made it a little more difficult to install the new icemaker(I just had to bend it up and hope it didnt break)

I was ready to spend the $$$ on a repair person when my wife (smart woman) suggested I go on line to see if we can fix it ourselves. I (luckly) found your company and your website made it easy to find the right part plus as an extra bonus you had a video that showed how to switch out both control boards. To top it off, the package came so fast ( the next day - even with standard shipping ) I did not think it was the parts. 10 or so minutes with a Phillips screwdriver and we were back in business. THANK YOU ! ! ! !

Perfect fit. Slides smoothly. Arrived quickly. Thank you for a very easy web site.

I watched the video showing how to disassemble unit and it showed that there was a heat element inside the chute door under the foam seal that needed to be removed and placed in side the new chute door. I spent about 10-15 minutes trying to salvage the element but the adhesive used would not release and the part was rendered unusable. I called the help line and was told that their instructions on that kit said the heating element was no longer required. I finished putting the kit in and the unit works fine

Unplug the Unit first! Unscrewed the sensor covers on both sides. Snap off the old, snap on the new. Replace the covers and screws.

Replaced the Ice Maker

Removed hinged door from front of ice maker. Removed screws from bottom of ice maker. Removed ice maker unit and replaced control board. One pin connection was burnt. Reassembled unit and it works fine.
