ARB8057CB (PARB8057CB0) Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

No instructions with part. Found a picture on line and changed the arm, but it didn't fix the problem. Fairly easy after figured out what needed to be done to get to the part.

I replace the defrost timer and the defrost thermostat. It has been a week and is working fine. I almost did not order the defrost thermostat when I checked the coils I noticed that water had gotten inside the t-stat and it was damage from freezing. Glad I ordered both parts.

After watching the video witch was GREAT help THANK YOU

Read articles online from other sites. Other sites stated part was behind unit and to replace it on top of the compressor. Wrong. Part was behind freezer section on this model. Removed 4 screws from freezer to find out I also needed to thraw all the ice from behind plate in freezer. This took the longest time approx time 1/2 hour to do this. After that the part was easy to install. If I knew the part was behind the freezer plate the total time would have been around an hour to do. Please remember to pull the plug before you start cutting wires to replace the thermostat kit. It has now been running for about a week and no problems at this time with refrigerator

The Amana's Ice Maker mounted against the back wall. I'm a 61 year old female that ordered this to help my aging parents. The wire harness only unplugged from the Ice Maker and was hard wired to the Frig. I had to "blindly" try to depress and release the harness clip and that took most of the time. When putting in the new ice maker, I noticed that the opening for the fill tube was now against the wall and not to the back. So, I had to disconnect it again. I found that it is also made for a side right fill by cutting out a perforated tab. Just to make sure there wasn't an overflow out of the other round hole, I used silver tape to plug the hole. It took two hours after plugging back in the frig and turning on the water supply before it made ice.

Kids complaint no ice and smelled like burned plastic,found ice maker melted,Replaced ice maker assembly,used existing harness not supplied with new unit,ice maker still no ice,verified an open at fuse link,installed inline fuse in place of existing fuse link.I was told harness not available.Harness section should be on new unit.Hint Hint!

Ordered replacement icemaker from PartSelect.com. Upon receipt of part installed part as per the online video. All went well. Whirlpool rep. stated that the icemake works well when the freezer temp. is set at 10 degrees or less.It took appreximately 24 hrs.for the icemaker to fill the bucket with fresh ice. It would hace cost approximately $230.00 or more if I had called a Service rep. to do the job. So I elected to do it myself.

well, my problem was the dual water valve. I check the two water valve connectors, one was good ( yellow ) and the other connector (brown) was bad. I tested them both with an ohms meter, of course all power was off. I think when ever there's a problem with not receiving ICE this should be done before replacing the ice-maker for there's a lot of things going on in this area. The Brown Connector releases the water into the ice-tray (that tested Bad with a reading of 257 from ohms meter,and the yellow had a sound from ohms for full contact a good reading. The brown valve was bad.
