106978553 Kenmore Ice Maker - Instructions

I looked up the model# of my kenmore for repairs and partselect.com came up. I searched for the icemaker, wondering if I was even going to be able to figure it out. I was pleasantly surprise that when I found the part there was also a video on how to do the repair. I watched the video, ordered the part and when it came, the repair was a piece of cake.

replaced the element as described. it worked for 2 cycles and flooded the capture tray. I thought it may be an issue with the water supply line so I replace it and insured it was getting a good feed.
I have now shut the unit down and restating it . thank you for your concern. Any tips would be appreciated.

Removed old ice maker and replaced it with the new one, took 20minutes and existing plug worked so I didnt have to use an adapter. Been 36 hours and it makes ice fine but has only dumped 3 or 4 times, hope it gets better. I dont know what else to do to it. Proceedure was easy and quick./

Parts arrived amazingly fast. Replaced top ice maker and bottom water control valve[which was probably the source of my problem all along] in about an hour. The online installation video's were a big help. Thanks.

I ordered the replacement ice maker on a Saturday, received it on the next Tuesday, and in stalled it in a little over 15 minutes. Very quick, very easy. Partselect.com was easy to use and exceeded my expectations on every issue. Thanks.

I removed one screw from lower portion of unit and loosened 2 top screws. Lifted unit to slide off top screws and unplugged unit. Plugged in unit and positioned unit on 2 top screws. Installed bottom screw and tightened top 2 screws. Repair complete.

added lowering clips to brackets, plugged it in,
hung on sidewall. Plug in power, turned water on,
had ice in an hour. The written directions could be a little more detailed..I am very satisfied with the ease of installation.

The icemaker was an exact duplicate of the one in my refrigerator. I installed the correct shutoff bar on the icemaker and removed the tab for the water fill spout. After pulling the power cord I loosened the two top screws with a nutdriver and removed the bottom screw. I pulled the icemaker from the rear wall, away from the fill spout, and disconnected the wire harness. Installation was just the reverse of the removal.

three screws and a plug in and it was done!

Took out three screws and replaced the icemaker and it started working. Very easy.

After an overnight from the installation of the new water dispenser valve, my ice maker began making ice again. I had thought that I had made a wrong diagnosis and needed a new ice maker, so I ordered one. By the time my new ice maker arrived, I already had a bin half full of new ice cubes,

Three hex head screws and electrical plug and ten minutes. I'm a hero. I had wasted several hours trying to adjust the old one. Throw it out and put the new one in. Ten minutes tops.

Removed one screw, disconnected wiring harness and then removed old ice maker. Connected wiring harness to new ice maker, set in tray holder and replaced the one screw. Total job took less than 5 minutes.

Replaced ice maker very EZ, How ever needed to replace ER pannels also very EZ

removed one screw (socket), loosened two more, lifted out unit, disconnected power cord. reverse removal proccess. VERY EASY.
