AFD2535DEW Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

I simply took the drawers and bottom glass shelf out and took the two screws that hold the end cap in out, removed the draw slide from it, installed the drawer slide on the new part and put it it. Very easy.

Removed all the screws. Removed all the parts the did not come with the new unit. Wireing,face plates. Assembled the parts and reinstalled

I was amazed at how quick I received the parts

My husband and I worked together using a video I found online as a guide. The part went in easily within less than 30 minutes. I can't believe we waited so long! Within a few hours the ice maker was making cubes after a 2-3 year hiatus! Saved the estimated $280-$360 cost of the appliance repairman. We are VERY pleased.

Replaced icemaker control and motor assembly.

Removed the ice maker door
Removed 1 hex head screw(holding icemaker in)
Slid the ice maker out(unplugged)
Removed the plastic cover on the motor
Removed 3 screws holding power module
Removed old power module and replaced with new one
Replaced cover,plugged it back in,slid into place
Replaced hex head screw and icemaker door
DONE

Pry old switch and pull out. Disconect two wires. Put two wires on new switch, must be inserted right and connections not loose. Put switch in, making shure wies do not come off and snap in place

popped cover off, unplugged refidgerator, removed 3 screws slid control module out working ice maker lever out of the slot it fits in pretty snug (it does just slide out), and the install is reverse order. Jumped contacts per diagram with INSULATED wire, after half rotaion of wheel removed jumper, this verifying heater works (feel on the bottom of tray), water supply is ok (I knew that anyway) and ice maker module works. Initial trouble shooting suspected problem was module because I pushed the white wheel (inside cover) in and it started moving (very slowly is normal) leading to the belief the internal contacts wore out. Note: troubleshooting use the digram and check power to module etc per instructions if you are capable. It is easy.

It was super easy. I just cut the power to the fridge, took 3 screws out to remove the old icemaker, undid the power supply. Then I kept the supply wires, cover and ice maker arm and installed them on the new part. I plugged the supply wires back in, attached the new ice maker with a nut driver, installed the cover and arm. Turned the power back on and it's done. Just takes a few minutes!!!

pulled the cover, removed the three screws that held the controland motor assy. pulled the assy out. put the new assy up installed the control lever put the screws back and the cover then we waited for the ice.

Followed the handy repair video on this site for that part. Repair went exactly like the video described.

Removed white plastice cover, removed three screws, slid out the assembly unit, replaced with the assembly unit, put screws back in and cover on. A few hours later it was making ice.

1. Remove pantry cover and tray assembly.
2. Remove two Crispers above tray.
3. Remove glass and seal in rear.
4. Remove phillip screws, 2 or 3 holding right end cap to refrig body.
5. Pull end cap from wall to the left releasing temp valve from back of frig.
6. Remove side metal slider from end cap.
7. Dissasmble temp valve slider from endcap and rear cap.
8. Remove temp valve control knob and handle from end cap.
9.Put back together in reverse order being careful not to loose the styrofoam seal from hole in rear of frig

I originally replaced the inlet valve--it was cheaper. It did not solve my problem. So I ordered the icemaker for my Amana side-by-side; it came the next day! Remove ice bucket, unplug electric, even left the water on. Remove 3 screws holding the old icemaker in. The wiring harness on my fridge was too short to allow me to remove the plug from the old icemaker, so I had to remove the metal mounting plate behind the icemaker to allow me to have enough slack to turn the icemaker and depress the projection on the plug while pulling it from the socket. The icemaker comes right out then. Took off the bail and installed it on the new one. The left side is the important one that engages the mechanism while the right side is just a slave or tender that holds it in position. Plug the wiring harness plug into the new icemaker (be sure to get it in right side up and fully engage the projection on the plug into the hole on the side of the socket--that keeps it from ever working out from vibration or unintended or accidental manipulation. Place the old icemaker end cap over the new icemaker end to shield the mechanism on the left side. Remount the mounting plate to the sides of the freezer with the original 4 screws. I suggest putting a paper or something underneath your work--it is tight quarters and screws are easy to drop. A magnetic nutdriver might help here. Tighten the 4 screws, tuck the wiring harness up under the metal clip (that keeps it up and out of the way of future accidental injury or dislodging). Then use the nut driver to place the 3 original screws which hold the icemaker to the mounting plate. Start all 3, then assess for level mounting before you tighten them--a crooked or unlevel mount job will be inefficient and yield irregular ice cubes. Reinstall the ice bucket and lower the bail which detects the need for more ice and starts the process. Plug the electric back in and turn the water back on (if you shut it off). I had the first cubes in a couple of hours. It will take a while for the cycle to start, so don't worry if you don't have water flowing into the tray right away.

Trouble shooted system and determined it to be Icemaker Control and Motor assembly. Removed and replaced assembly, but still would not make ice. Determined it to be the optics. Ordered Electronics Control Boards-Emitter and Receiver and removed and replaced both. Everything works now. Partsselect.com got my parts to me very quickly and their website helped me troubleshoot and select the correct parts.

It was no surprise that this was an easy repair, but I must say that I was completely impressed that the part was on my door step in 24 hours with STANDARD shipping.
