AFD2535DEB Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

really easy it took less than 15 minutes, it took more time to clean out the refer. than to do the repair.

After reading solutions to my problem on your website I ordered the part which fixes 50% of the problems. When I got back after Christmas the part had arrived. I removed the Icemaker and replaced the part. It took aprox. 20 minutes for the job. It was easy. Now we have ice cubes again.

Turn off power first or unplug. Get a light so you can see. Read these directions through one time to reduce the learning curve. Remove ice cube bin. 1/4" nut-driver will do most of the work. Remove flexible water fill tube from back of ice cube maker, move to the side, out of the way. Remove screw from "L" shaped bracket from the bottom of maker, close to the front. Two more 1/4" screws to go. There are (2) screws on the top left that hold the maker to wall. Loosen the front screw, but do not totally remove, unit will lift off of front screw. The back screw had to be completely removed because of a clip that holds the wiring on the back of the maker. The wiring is attached to the back wall in the form of what is called a Molex connector, a white plastic connector. This is probably the hardest part of the job, wiring access. The air deflector blocks any free access, so you have to just grab and depress the prongs to release the Molex from the wall. With wiring disconnected, remove entire assembly. Use a flat-tip screwdriver to pop the white cover off of the front of the maker to use on the new one. Same goes for the wire cube arm that sets out over the ice cube bin, taking the front out first (pulling straightout) then pivot arm 180 degrees and remove from back. Remove wiring harness from front of maker. Re-install on maker, it goes in one direction only, look at the configuration before you pull it out, and put in the same way. Make absolutely sure you re-install it so it clicks in all the way. If not, it won't work. I had to remove the ice maker again because I did not make this connection properly the first time. So I did the whole job twice. You have to put the job back in reverse of the way you took it out. The new one works great. I should have done this about a year ago. The old one had been making a noise and I ignored it.

Exact replacement. . . . Ice!

Repair for the most part is very easy! With the particular assembly that I purchased you MUST keep the cord, the wire piece that tells the ice maker when tray is full and the front cover from the previous part. Removal is easy. Flip wire piece up. Remove ice holder. Remove screw at bottom of assembly. Push assembly up not to hard as you don't want to break the clips attached to the fridge. Pull out far enough to disconect white cord at the fridge connection. Piece removes easily. I actually had a little ice build up in the white hose that dispenses the water. I took a cup of warm/ hot water and held up to hose to melt ice. To put back in just do it in reverse. Remove the 3 parts previously mentioned. Put on the new assembly. It was a little tricky getting the clamps to click into place. Just go slow and push upwards and towards fridge wall. This is definately worth trying yourself before calling a repair man! Good luck. Hope this helpful.

remove the two screws that hold the end cap on and carefully disassemble the linkage rods that control the temp control off and then just reverse the what you did. It wasn't that hard at all. The parts came in two days which was great. The bottom of the refrigerator needed to cleaned so it all worked out.

Remove drawers. Remove 1/4 screws. Remove end cap. The linkage for temp control is very fragile so be very careful. Not a very dificult task at all.

Had I not confused the old ice maker with the new one and tried to reinstall the old ice again I would have been done in less than 15 minutes. The instructions were clear and helpful, the parts all fit and it went right in. It worked within a few minutes and has been perfect since. Thanks

Followed the video and in less than thirty minutes the new icemaker was installed and in under an hour we had ice!

Removed the single screw holding the ice maker in Place and unlugged wire ,then removed cover off of the end of ice maker and the three screws holding the actuator onto ice maker and installed new one. Reinstall ice maker......works great

R&R unit in 5 minutes, very easy...

I am not very handy at all. The you tube video showed me exactly what to do. I removed the ice maker from the refrigerator by loosing two nuts and removed one screw. Replaced the motor by removing three screws.

I removed the ice maker, saw the problem, took the ice maker apart and ordered a new mold. I reassembled it with the new mold and it now makes ice but the control arm remains up after each ice dump. I plan to take the ice maker back out when we leave (we are snow birds in Florida) and see if the arm is properly placed.

My husband took the plastic cover off and took out old bulb and screwed in the new one. Then put the cover back on.

Remove tray that held ice then took off cover to the moter.removed three sewes that moter came off .then put on new one
