CIC4 Amana - Instructions

I kept the old unit and removed the Flat Cord Connection from it and install the old Flat Cord Connection in the new unit. Installed new unit in freezer section (3 screws) plug in Flat Cord Connection to freezer. Started making Ice in about 4 hours. Being an electrician helped.

Turn off the water source and unplug freezer. Remove copper tube and then remove valve from back of refrigerator. Disconnect plastic tube and power connection. Mark power connection plug top with a "T", this reminder helps with the new valve. Plug power and plastic tube into new valve and screw assembly back into refrigerator. Using a wrench, connect copper tube into valve. Restore water source and plug back in in freezer. Within a couple hours, ice production was back.
Like the other repair stories (that helped me), this job was very easy.

I used a phillips screw driver, took the old one off, replaced the new one and it worked immediately!!! Didn't have to turn anything off...fixed in 5 minutes for $11. Fantastic Experience and my husband was shocked. No repairman bill.

The ice maker plugged in easily , the most time was spent drilling hole in floor and running water line to pipe. In 4 hours ice was being made.

I did not do the repair yet, there is no schematic on how to route the hose; also no description of how to do the routing/connections.

I cut apart the plug on the new icemaker without damaging the wire ends and threw the plug away. Then I cut the wires on the plug on the old icemaker and rescued the plug. Then I pushed the wires on the new icemaker into the old plug and plugged it into the wiring harness plug that was already in the refrigerator. Then I installed the icemaker with the three screws. It started working about 3 hours later.

Replaced the water valve. I knew that the ice maker was working by watching the movement. It was not getting water to it, s I figured it was the electric water valve and sure enough, that fixed the problem.

This was very easy and pretty fast to do and its working great...all for $40 bucks ! you can do this...trust me!

Removed old water valve on bottom right back side of fridge installed new one which actually took less work

I took out the old one and put in the new one. For some reason the repair story associated with the ice bucket had nothing to do with ice buckets.

Replacing the ice making portion of the kit was a snap. Loosen the top two screws, no need to remove them completely. Remove the bottom screw, unplug the connector and remove the unit. Reverse to insert the new unit.
The water valve is a different issue. Our frig is a bottom freezer model. The kit supplied (model IC3) is for a top freezer model. I was unaware of this until the kit arrived. Well written instructions come with the kit. As noted above the main assembly is full fit and function for the bottom freezer Amana. However, the valve on our unit is different than that supplied with the kit. As the icemaker now works I did not attempt replacing the valve. It looks like the difference in valves is the manifold portion and it should be possible to switch the old manifold for the one supplied. All in all a pleasant experience except that more detail could be included on the web (perhaps a PDF of the instructions?). Delivery was very quick.

Needed ice maker bucket for extra fridge. Part came the next day, and worked perfectly.

Replaced the valve and cleaned all the coils at the same time. The ice maker is spewing out ice. Wife is happy again.

Ordered new single outlet water valve, received in less than two days. Removed old one, and the repair pretty much feel in place. Instructions were there as a backup. ........ Just curious if the connection from the water source to the valve outlet connection could b a quick connect just the like the water line going directly to the ice maker. Gregg in PA.

Removed three screws, unpluged ice maker power cord, pluged in new unit, replaced three screws. Had ice in an hour. That was it.
