ASD2522VRB00 Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

Easily removed old filter and inserted the new one

take off the face plate of fridge and follow the cable back to the compartment where fridge and freezer meet. once out, had to remove transluscent cover from thermostat wire - easy and feed that same cover onto the new thermostat. Slow is better and using pliers to force 1/4 to 1/2 inch at a time into the tubing - easier if you have 2 people. After that just put the length back in and insert the controller back in the panel and plug in the electricity again. (to the thermostat). 30 minutes later - cold fridge.

Inserted the prongs of the replacement shut-off arm in the holes provided in the bracket.

Watched the video on website and followed instructions

The video is not realistic in showing the insertion of the tubes into the compression connections. There are o ring that the tubes must go into to seal the water line and prevent leakage. I had to place a cloth over line to make a forceful insertion into the valve and past the o ring. The plastic lines are slick and when wet they are hard to hold. It continued to leak and only after three times it stopped leaking. The white plastic connection is the real problem connection and it only leaks when the water is sent to the freezer. you can hear the opening and the little pump operating.

Removed the front cover on the bottom of fridge. Removed the water filter from the housing. The housing unbolted by two 1/4 screws at the front of the housing. Removed the back cover at the bottom of fridge. Removed the solenoid valves in order to pull the housing out the back to easily undo the water lines on the housing. (I couldn’t undo the water lines from the front of the fridge.) Once I got the water lines undone I replaced the housing and did the steps in reverse. Water pressure is now back to normal!

Looked up on you tube to verify and see "secrets" to installation.

The hardest part was taking out original light bulb because screws on shield where hard to unscrew after all this years . The old bulb vent out leaving neck in socket. It took narrow electrical pliers to get neck out .The generic appliance bulb did not fit and had aluminum neck ,not recommended for brass sockets in ovens.Putting new light bulb in was not the problem.

Removal of the Ice Maker required the removal of only one screw from underneath the maker and the power connector disconnect. Dis-assembly was straight forward. Remove old tray and heater, and reassemble with new tray and heater unit. Reinstall Ice Maker! Special Note: Allow the Ice Maker time to cycle through it's sequences. It may take a period of time before it starts producing ice after re-installation.

This went together like a puzzle. With the help of the diagram it was fairly easy to do. Most importantly I ordered the part in the morning and it was there the next day without even paying overnight delivery...very impressed!

Remove the ice maker with two screws in the side and one screw in the bottom. You don't have to completely remove the side screws but you do have to remove the bottom screw.
Lift up on the ice maker and reach behind it and unplug the wiring harness. The tube that lets the water in is accessible from the rear of the fridge. Remone the water line, its only finger tight, and remove the two screws. Pull the tube up and out. Thaw it out with hot water and reinstall. With the ice maker out and on the table, pop off the front cover. Remove two phillips head screws and slide the cube tray off. watch how everything is placed before you slide it off. Slide on the new tray and reinstall all screws. Reassemble in reverse order that you took it out. Your ready to make ice...

turned off the fridge ,removed the backwall plate in the freezer, replaced the motor. hint take your time taking off the blade fan the replacement is 20.00

i first removed the ice maker and took the motor assembley off. Right away i saw the problem. The wheel which drives the arm broke.
Once i get the new motor modl i just replaced it (it just pops into place with 1 or 2 screws).
put ice maker back in freezer and wola. Starting cranking out ice within 15 minutes.

Replaced the entire part which dispenses water and ice. Good as new. Cost to repair it ourselves less than $20 for postage and part. Sure beats the $85 service charge with an additional charge for the part needed, the repairman wanted to come out and fix it.

I took out all the condiments from the shelves, gasped at how dirty the shelves were, took out the shelves and clicked the brand new, clean shelves into my refrigerator. I threw away expired condiments and replaced the still great ones. I closed the fridge and gave a sigh of relief of yet another task checked off my list.
