Ice Maker broke at the begining of summer !!!!!!
The new Ice Maker Assembly arived in less than 24 hours. I was amazed that it came so fast.

I had already removed the old ice maker in order to get the modle number.

I just took two parts off of the old ice maker and quickly snapped them into place on the new ice maker. Then attached it to the refrigerator in less than 10 minutes. With in a few hours I had ice again !!!!!

I would definatly use partselect.com again.

The Door Bins Had Broken One At A Time Over Several Years
All I had to do was unwrap the replacement bins and place them in the notches in the door. It took all of 10 seconds to complete. I am very pleased. I thought it would be almost impossible to replace these bins on an 18-year old regrigerator.

worn out freezer and refrigerator door gaskets
removed inside door panels by removing multiple
screws- 20-30 screws which hold each panel and gasket together to the door. then remove old gasket and put new gasket in place... align new gasket to seat on plastic ridge of inside door panel.. pay special attention to the corners so they are aligned properly without any 'bulges'. then screw each panel back on to the door using the original screws removed. best done with the help of a friend to hold and align the panel while you attach each screw. also after installation with door closed - use a hairdryer to soften up the gasket and allow it to conform to the new space and door application. total time is approx 1 hour per door... i probably saved well over $100 in labor by doing this myself-thankyou part select.com for having my parts... i will visit you again once something breaks or wears out again !

Defrost in freezer not working, ice buildup in freezer, refrigerator not cold
Had to remove screws inside back of freezer panel, took off old thermostat. This one had a different plug on the end that wasn't compatible, so had to cut that off and wire it to the old plug end. Piece of cake. Put back panel back on and back in business. Hardest thing was getting the screws out!

Ice stripper broken on ice maker
I unplugged the fridge. Loosened the 2 top screws on the ice maker and removed the lower screw. I disconnected the wiring harness and removed the Ice maker. I removed the plastic timer cover in front. I then loosened the screws on the face of the ice maker and removed the broken ice stripper and replaced it with a new one. Re-tightened the screws on the face, installed the timer cover, plugged in the wiring harness, re-attached the ice maker. Plugged the fridge back in and walla, it was making ice in 30 minutes!

Old Icemaker noisy and stopped making Ice
The old icemaker had a bad motor and would stall in the fill cycle causing my kitchen to flood on occasion.

The new one was so quiet, I thought it didn't work!

Anyway, one nutdriver and 5 minutes and I had the new one in there... It is so quiet, and I always have plenty of ice now!!!

Thanks!!!

Broken cup water fill on ice maker
I called the local Amana repair man, wanted $150 for a new ice maker because they could not get the part I needed. Found Partsselect.com and the part cost $17 with shipping. They saved me over $100. The repair was very easy too, just removed a couple of screws.

Thanks,
Matt
