AFD2535FES Refrigerator - Instructions

Very easy repair. I wasn't sure if I needed a new icemaker but after reading the reviews of this control, I took the chance that this was the problem with our icemaker as well. It was. Our refrigerator freezer has the electric eye in the door and this control works in this setup. In about a day we have a full bucket of ice Yay!!

the repair went great, right parts work every thanks

Removed the drawers, glass shelf, removed the three screws with a small socket set then took out broken part. I needed to unsnap some attached slide parts after removing the assembly. Attached removed parts from the old side piece to the new side part and replace the screwws initially removed. Then I snapped the shelf flip cover into the the new right and old left side. It is good as new now. It was quite easy once I figured out how to remove the sliding parts. It took more time to clean the shelf and bootom of the drawers than it did to replace the part.

removed the swing cover - the 1/4" head screws in the bottom of ice maker - slide out complete ice maker part way and unplug control wiring - place ice maker on counter and removed (pulled off) cover then removed the 3 screws holding the control module in place replaced by working in the reverse order

Having done it once before this time it went fairly easily.....there were NO instructions so one needs to take NOTE as you UNDO the broken side piece so you can reverse it as you put the new one in.
Hopefully this won't happen again!!
Part came in the mail within 2 DAYS OF ORDERING ! that was nice!

Repair was easy and the video on PartSelect was spot on. Basically you take the unit out of the freezer, undo three screws, take out the old motor assembly and put in the new one, replace the screws, and put back in the freezer. Simple.

I turned off the fridge. Then I took off the service door to the ice maker. I unscrewed and took off the white plastic piece covering the electrical wire connection. I disconnected the wires and pulled out the ice maker assembly. I had to push up on a couple of little clips underneath that held it in place. I unscrewed the screws that held the control and motor assembly to the rest of the icemaker. I pulled off the assembly and put the new one into place and screwed it back together. Then I replaced everything as it was originally.

I noticed that the refrigerator was having trouble maintaining temperature. Thought it might be time for new one until I found out that a new frig was $5k to $7K. Just happened to notice that the light switch didn't look quite right (was not sitting sqaure to the door). Once I pressed it it came loose. I then realized the the lights were staying on (50 watts of heating). Replaced the switch and the frig started working like new.

The video shows the mechanic removing the icemaker. I did not need to do that on my Whirlpool refrigerator.

All I needed to do was unplug the refrigerator, pull the white cover off, unscrew three screws, pull the original motor unit. From there, everything was reversed and I had ice. Woohoo!

Just don't do like I did and keep opening the freezer door. It took longer because I kept looking in to see if it was making ice.

The repair was easy.....took out a couple of screws, and it was out. Put a couple screws in and it worked right away.

My son's ice maker quit over 5 yrs ago. Repairman told him he would need whole unit.
I keep trying to fine the "whole unit". I finally wnet on to the part list and decided
it was probably the Modue assembly. I odereded it and guess what!!!! That was it....a $66 part!
It is working fine now!!

Watched the video found on your web site then installed ice maker, very helpful step by step video.

Thanks!

Very quick, three screws and it came out Took rack off old piece and added it to the new part. Screwed back on 5 minutes. 3 years with broken hinge and 5minutes to replace. The parts shipped quick had it two days from purchase. I will use this for future appliance repair.

All I had to do was remove three screws. Took a few minutes to figure out the arm that controls the air flow into the deli section but that was not difficult, and I replaced the piece and put the screws back in. Done! Beats the heck out of having someone from the company where I bought it come out, then go order the part, then come back out to install it. I figure I saved at least $100. Takes NO great talent.

Took of slider for drawer and put them on new part. Unscrewed three screws, took of old part and put on new part and screwed on. If I can do it anyone can.
