ASE526M (P1164004W) Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

I watched the online video and followed the directions. The only thing that was not obvious (and this is where the video saved several minutes)was how to remove the upper part from the door. This repair makes the door seals much more effective and should reduce the compressor run time. I have to compliment you on your prices and speed ...

First My Frig side of the double door unit wasn't closing on its own. Kids don't look, so they walk away...next thing you know the frig warms up and the freezer starts to frost up from running so long...Now it won't shut off.... I checked the hinge and sure enough it was wore down. Now mind you, I ordered a hinge kit first without checkin ... Read more g to see what type I needed...don't do that...Less than 15 mins you can take the door off and see which one you need.As soon as I saw which type of hinge set I needed I went and ordered it...returned the other one. It came pretty quick.... 15 mins had that sucker changed and working... But... the door still wouldn't close on its own... Common sense told me the heat from the frosted freezer caused the door and frig walls to swell... Yes I said the heat... When the component in the freezer frosts up it does not keep the frig cool, nor will the freezer stay kool... the frost prevents the cool air from moving around...thus "HEAT".... It took a full 24 hrs for my frig n freezer to get back to normal... and now the door closes just fine... MIND YOU! I had to take the covers off the freezer unit inside, then take a steamer and melt all that frost off of every inch including down the drain... That took me a good 5-6 hours... and what a mess.... but it was worth my time.... because I don't have to replace my second hand Jenn-Air which I could never afford to buy brand new.... Whew....what we have to do to keep things going... $11 bucks worth of parts.... "Super Mom" :o)

The picture on the web did not look right , but the part was an exact fit.The note about the left handed nut in the other self help instructions was a life saver.Phone help was very helpful. Shipping was very quick.

The problem had occurred twice before and the metal auger could no longer be reliably forced back into alignment with its end cap. It was time for a replacement. I opted to replace the entire auger assembly including the crusher blade - a total of three individual parts in this assembly. With the Amana model and serial number in hand, ... Read more I logged into PartSelect and found the ice maker part(s) in the fridge schematic diagram. I ordered the assembly which arrived early. It is easy to disassemble. Remove the ice drawer from the freezer, minus the ice, and place it upside down on a work surface. You only have to remove four screws; the two on the front bottom of the ice drawer and the two screws holding the little L-shaped brackets that receive those two bottom screws. Tip: To avoid any confusion during reassembly, just take a picture of each step of your disassembly. You can do it Noonan.

There were 23 parts to be removed in order to replace part. So I printed out a diagram of the parts off the computer and the labled each part on the diagram with its name. I laid them all out in order and patiently re-assembled the ice maker. When finished, I gave a cheer!

Ordered the replacement. Removed the old one, followed the instructions, installation was a snap.

I was very pleased with the entire experience. The part was easy to locate on the web site, it arrived very quickly and you sent a how-to video.

Replacing the auger assembly was easy. Unfortunately it did not fix the problem, which was a weak auger motor. The motor would not turn the auger when a piece of ice would go into the area where the blades push it out. It would instead stop the motor and make it screech. This happened with every third piece of ice. Replacing the moto ... Read more r, which I bought elsewhere (couldn't find on this site) fixed the problem.

I changed out the ice wheel inside the ice bucket. Jack

I had watched my handyman take the old auger out realign it so I knew pretty much what to do, that adjustment did not work so I had to order new auger. Problem was lining up the screw holes, metal to ice box, just did not want to work. After about an hour of trying realized that the nylon grooves t the bottom could be slid in from each ...
