AFD2535FES 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 the drawers above the unit as others have indicated and the glass top and then using a 1/4 inch nut driver remove the screws. Now it gets just a bit tricky as the air control knob under the top is a two peice linkage that is best removed as a single unit being carefull not to break off the tab that rests in the middle back of the refrig. Simply swing it out towards the left as you face it and it will become obvious its just a simple tab and once it clears everything comes out in one unit. The logic holding everything together is simply a matter of squeezing a couple of tabs to remove the back portion then a couple more for the inner right side. Re assemble in reverse order and take the opportunity to give everything a real good cleaning. My time of about 45 minutes included a real good cleaning of all shelves etc....happy new year and thanks parts select for getting the part to me in what i think was next day...Awesome service guys

My husband had taken the ice maker out and deceide which part we would need to fix the maker. your online parts list made this possible. The service you provide was most helpful. The shippment got it to us in record time.

Simple- I removed the food, drawers, and shelving from the unit. I unscrewed the 2 screws holding the end cap on. Once removed I also separated the sliding track from the old part and put it on the new part. I then screwed the new end cap into place using the same screws as the old one. I put the shelves, drawers, and the food back in. All in less than 10 minutes.

got the icemaker in 3 days, installed in less than 15 minutes, nothing happened-so I thought it must be the water distribution valve-I looked up the part and it is very similar to a valve I had purchased for our Maytag refrigerator-freezer at our lake cabin that I hadn't used-drove 20 miles roundtrip, after locating the valve and preparing to shut off all the water to the house (since the icemaker shutoff is in crawlspace). My dear wife suggested that I might want to check the icemaker first to be sure it hadn't started on its own-Idid, and it had-has been working without fail since then. Just needed some patience which I always seem to have in short supply!

followed instructions from Partselect on- line video.

Ice maker was leaking water into the bin causing it to freeze together. To repair I purchased a new Ice Maker part no PS2121513 for $101.00. I used the repair video to find out how to replace the part, the video was very helpful and enabled me to replace the ice maker in under 30 minutes. Once the new part was installed I waited 2 hours for it to start making ice, before the ice maker can operate the bi metal thermostat has to reach approx 14 degrees F. This can take longer than an hour so you have to be patient. I checked mine with a volt meter probes inserted in the T and H test points on the front of the timer assembly. If you read a voltage of 110/120 volts it means the thermostat has not closed. If it takes more than 4 hours it could mean a bad connection so turn off the power and recheck the plug in harness connections. If you do not have a meter you can feel behind the timer with your fingers to see if the ice maker cup or bowl has water or ice in it. Turn off the power first.

Used my Google-Fu and came to Parts Select with your (consumers like Moi)comments,looked at the Vids on UTube and ordered a new ice maker assy. Came in 3 days! Swapped out the power cord, arm and my old cover then hit the breaker back on and... ICE! WOOT! I am an 83 yr old grandmother w/ 27 grand-kids. Swear you won't tell ANY of them I did this. I will babysit the munchkins but I will NOT fix their fridges. Heh.

Replaced the ice maker ass'y,for me it was easy as i have been a mechanic all my life however there was'nt any instructions with the new ice maker to explain about moving the control arm from old to new and as mine was stuck in the motor end it would have been nice to know how much force could be applied to free arm

easy as pie everthing good thanks
