AFD2535DEW Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

Went to PartsSelect. Put in Dishwasher model number. Chose the screws for that model number. Ordered the screws. Can't get any easier than that!

replaced icemaker motor.easy peasy

By watching a video.

I watched your online video and it was VERY easy! No extra assistance or tools were needed to replace the two parts.

Easily removed part. It took a bit more ingenuity to figure how to take off and reattach temp bar for salad drawer; but it is easily doable. I loved the company as they had the part to me in less than 2 days at a reasonable cost to repair the item.

Was really, really easy - wish I had done it months ago!! Removed the crisper drawers and then the glass shelf above the tray drawer. Took out drawer and then had to remove 3 screws to loosen the cap from the wall. Had a few small plastic pieces to take off (thermostat stuff), but all in all took about 10 minutes. Only reason I put down longer is that I cleaned up the whole inside of the fridge while I was there!

had to remove all drawers, once removed used nut driver to remove three screws. then removed the rail that holds the drawer. used nut driver again to remove rail from the original to mount the rail to the new bracket. Slide in holding brackets in front and back had to be removed, Then we had to do some wiping down and cleaning from spills that we had not seen. Installed the re-assembled bracket. installed the braces in front and back, installed the glass plate then re-installed the drawers. - took longer than I expected but worked fine.- weak point on the bracket is the pin that allows the door to pivot up/down.

ok, this is a no-brainer even for the technically challenged. Three screws and voila replaced and cranking out ice. Couple of pointers, some parts from your old unit will be needed (3 screws, ice level bar, and ice maker cover). Turn off electrical and water prior to installing. Flat tip screwdriver required. Part came within 5 days.

Getting the screws out that held the unit in place was easy but getting the wires disconnected was difficult. Not knowing how it unplugged it took some time figuring it out. I purchased the new unit after I got the old one out, if I would have purchased it first I would have see how it unplugged. When I received the new icemaker it was NOT and exact match so before I modified the water funnel I contacted part-select and they said if I modify the unit it will NOT void my warrantee. I took a knife and cut the end to make room for the hose and I plugged up the open side. I installed the new one turned it on and 3 hours later no leaks and fresh ice. Now I’m a happy guy.

Unplugged cable remove 3 ea 1/4" head size sheet metal svrews with nut driver.

Remove old cable plug into new unit.

Remove wire bar assy install on new unit.

Remove and install old front cover on new unit.

Plug cable into frezzer outlet.

Install new unit in freezer with the 3 screws.

Wait till unit cycles and celebrate your craftmanship with an iced drink....

Pulled the entire drawer out and then removed the damaged hinge. Removed the temp. control thingie. Placed the temp. control on the new hinge. Then I replaced it. It was easy. Thanks

Removed one screw that held the unit in place. Took a few minutes to determine how to disengage the unit from the plastic clips. The most difficult part was disconnecting the electrical cable.but in less than 30 minutes the new unit was in place and filled with water to start forming ice.

Remove ice bin. Loosen two mounting screws holding ice maker in place ( not necessary to remove screws), Remove two screws holding cover over ice auger. Behind cover is connection for ice maker. Need two hands to disconnect wiring connector from ice maker( tight area to work in,narrow shoulders and long arms help). Squeeze tab on one end of connector while pulling connectors apart. DO NOT PULL ON WIRES, ONLY PULL APART CONNECTORS.
After ice maker is out use pin points on end of timer to check contact points to be sure all contacts are made. Is possible to insert an Ohm meter probe in holes at end of timer, it is not necessary to remove timer to check unless problem is found with open contact.

Used a screwdriver to pry loose the old switch, swapped wires to the new switch and pushed it into the opening. Took about 2 minutes.

threw out the old icemaker, replaced it with the new one. just had to pry off the cap of the housing and plug the original cable to the new assembly - bingo.
I'm happy and proud - saved a large repair-bill :-)
