CTB1521ARW Magic Chef Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed mounting screws
Disconnected file hose
Flipped unit over to remove connecter
(This was the only difficult operation; unpluging & pluging it in)
New part fit was very good
Reversed the disassembly order to install
New assembly had to cycle a while to produce ice cubes. I'm very happy now, so bring on the hot weather.

Pulled the plug on the refrig. ( This is important since the heating bar on the bottom of the ice maker could come on as soon as you plug it in and burn your hand ). Removed the ice bin to get it out of the way and then removed the 1/4" hex screw from the support bracket under the old ice maker ( don't lose it ). Pushed up on the old ice maker to dislodge it from the 2 support clips on the top of the ice maker. Squeezed both sides of the wire harness plug and pulled it out and removed the old ice maker. Removed the wire harness and level bar from the old ice maker and installed them on the new ice maker. Plugged the ice maker wire harness into the female receptacle in the freezer. Popped the ice maker in to the top support clips making sure the rubber water chute from the refrig. was in place in the round ice maker receptacle. Plugged bak in the refrig. and I was getting ice in about 2 hours. Working fine after 1 week producing plenty of ice. RussK---

Well I could what laid on the floor and replaced it but I didn't I emptied refrigerator laid it over change the motor then stood it back up actual work about three hours

following the advice of this site, purchased a new ice maker. Old one was simple to unhook and remove and new one was just as easy to install. Within no time at all, I had ice being made and it has been working perfect since. Thank you for the help...

I followed your posted video. Did step by step as video instructed and in about 30 minutes finished. Ice was made approx 30 minutes later. I hope you do more videos, a picture is worth a thousand words.

It wasn't quite as easy to get to the bolts as the video showed. The lay out of the part wasn't exactly like the video either. However, I managed to put the new part in. Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem. At first the fridge cycled on and off but after 12 hrs it started to freeze liquids again. Since the appliance was 17 years old we opted to just get a new one.

Pulled socket out of housing, unplugged it from source, plugged in new socket and replaced the socket into housing, screwed in bulb and it worked!!

Removed Ice bin, remove rails on left side that hold ice bin. Remove one screw holding ice maker to refrigerator wall,then lift ice maker off holding screws. Unplug wire harness from back of refrigerator. Remove wire harness and loading wire from old ice maker and install on new unit. Re-install new ice maker by reversing steps. Videos where very helpful.

Simply stick a putty knife between the switch and refrig wall. Pop out old swith, remove both wires by pulling off switch by terminals. Throw switch out. Put wires on new switch and push into slot and all done. Nothing to it! Took me 5 minutes if th

Followed on line instructions. Instructions were very helpful. The part was an exact replacement. Everything went as planned.

Followed the Video, and it went almost as the video, except for the rails for the ice tub, so instead of the nut driver, had to use an open end 1/4" wrench. Now its a working with lots a ice....

I received the new icemaker the next day after I had ordered it. After watching the video on how to install the icemaker I installed it within a few minutes which I really surprised myself since this was my first repair job to do by myself. The new ice maker has been working great and I am very pleased with partselect and will continue to contact you when I am in need of any parts. Thank you, betty

Fast delivery...Great video instructions..The only difficulty is when I tried to take the cable out. It's kind of hard and far away from my reach. So, I took only the cable out on Ice Maker end.

Unplug refrigerator, turned off water to ice maker, unscrewed bracket, lifted ice maker off clips, pulled out water hose,disconected wiring harness and lifted out old icemaker. Reversed the process and it worked like a breeze and no service call. Space is very tight and you have to do a lot of feeling without actually seeing what you're doing and you need a small flashlight. It was so easy with diagram provided on PartSelect's website.
