ARS2665AW Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

After spending $188.44 0n a service call and a themostat replacement that didnt work (hack job) I came apon your site on the internet , I saw other stories that were similar to mine , so I watched provided videos and decided it looked easy enough so I ordered the parts (Fan motor,new defrost themostat and defrost timer and did it my self The biggest problem was getting the plastic fan off the motor ,but it came off with a small gear puller. the most time was spent cleaning up and putting away my tools ! This site is great Thanks a million P.S. fride is still running great.

I unplugged the refrigerator. Then removed the ice tray. Then removed the screw holding the ice maker secure. I had a little difficulty lifting the ice maker off the clips on the side of the refrigerator but was successful. Then unplugged the wire harness from the back of the refrigerator an lifted the unit out. Removed the wiring harness from the old unit and installed it on the new one. Then positioned the new unit so I could plug the harness in the refrigerator and lined up the clips to attach it on the side of the refrigerator, being careful to line up the water distribution tube. Replaced the screw to secure the ice maker and plugged the refrigerator back in and it is working very well. I am very hsappy with the repair

I was deep cleaning the fridge in our rental before moving out, and while I was washing the glass shelf that sits on top of the crisper, I lightly bumped the edge of the shelf on the sink while turning it to rinse it, and the tempered glass shattered and filled my sink with broken glass. We needed the replacement part ASAP because of the timing of our move, and we were SO grateful to find partselect.com! It made locating the part we needed on the older fridge relatively easy. The shipping was so fast, and the shelf came wrapped well and in perfect condition. Installing it was a matter of unwrapping the shelf, sitting it on top of the shelf, and sliding the shelf back in the fridge -- a cinch. I would definitely recommend this site to anyone needing replacement parts to their appliance!

Video was helpful and reading the other responses online was a big help also. Followed all of those instructions. Most difficult part was disconnecting the electrical plug to the ice maker. Need a screwdrive or other pointed object to depress plastic tab. Other than that, things went smoothly. HOWEVER, after turning water back on and plugging in fridge, I thought everthing was perfect...no leaks initially. BUT, came back a few hours later to find no ice cubes in the holding tray, "iceburg" formations and ice dams built up again thoughout the freezer. Water was leaking continuously from the ice maker. Upon further analysis, it appears the electronic mechanism keeps telling the fridge to send water to the ice maker...or, it is sending too much before shutting the water off. The tray is overflowing and that seems to be the problem. I'm back to square one, but with a new ice maker.

Quickly after video

Looked at your You Tube video and followed the instruction

My Amana side-by-side fridge (Model: SCD23VW) took a dump the other day. Both sides were very warm. About $150 in new parts fixed the whole shebang.

1st items: overload relay with capacitor

2nd items: Bi-metal Defrost Thermostat and a Defrost Timer Switch

3rd item: Evaporator fan motor

I think it was a combination of things that caused the failure. Heck, all the repairs were super easy and now my fridge is rock solid. The bi-metal defrost thermostat was purchased at a local store. It just had the thermostat and 2 brown wires. Replacing the entire harness is not necessary. I simply cut wires, striped the, and used wire nuts for speedy repair. (Took 4 min)

Changed bulb, not the problem, had to remove switch to identify correct choice to order (3 pronged verus 2) after that it was easy beyond having to stand on my head to make the exchange. (N B before removing old switch it actually came back to life)

much like yout video. However I got the mounting bracket upside down and had to do the job twice. When finished it worked perfectly. Great! However in Missouri outside temperature was over 100 and refrig was in shed. My beer got warm. Thank you.

Watched the video on the web site and then followed the instructions. It was very easy to change. After changing it, I filled it with water from a cup to get it started making ice since the video does not address how to do this. It has been working well ever since. If you are handy with tools, you can do this.

I put in a new ice maker because it was not in very good condition. The water valve had a very slow leak which allowed water to freeze on the way to the ice maker and plugged the line. This problem was in one of your repair articles all of which were very welcome

Based on partselect.com solutions, i decided to replace the defrost timer and the defrost thermostat (without testing to see if they are malfunctionned) after checking that the condenser fan and the evaporator fan are still working. Right now i don't know why our icemaker is still not producing ice cubes even if i already set the number to 5 out of 7.

removed the broken bin, which was extrememely easy and set in the new one, equally as easy. The telephone staff were extremely helpful, and courteous, especially John, who took a great amount of time helping me find the correct part. Thank all of you.

I had to replace the whole unit. The tray should have lasted longer and there should have been a replacement tray available.The installation was easy. 3 screws removed, unplug unit, turn off water and put in new unit.

I had the repair man out 5 times. 3 new fans and 2 defrost timers and my refridge still would not work. Spent five minutes on the Parts Select site and found the problem. Ordered the part shich showed up in two days. Steps involved in replacing are as follows. 1)Remove back cover in freezer compartment. 2)locate old Thermostat on top of freezer coil. 3) Mine must have been replaced once before becouse it had cripm connectors ofn the wires just before the thermastate, so cut the wires at the crimp. trimmed the wires on the new part and crimped it the existing wires. 4) place the new thermostat on the Coil and started it back up again. Has worked great for over a week and a half. So nice to have ice again.
