EF42DBSS Dacor Refrigerator - Instructions

Remove ice maker from side wall of freezer. Not alot of room to see the fasteners because the unit is a side by side. Overall pretty easy fix and saved alot of money instead of calling in repair man.

My owners manual said to unplug fridge from elec outlet, use a kitchen knife to gently pry off the switch plate
(manual had a pictoral example), unclip the two wire, replace with on new switch and replace the switch. Close
door and plug back in. Open door to check that the lite
works. Walla! It did. Thanks!

Refrigerator is 4 year old. Icemaker quite working after about a year. Called a repair man that fixed it for about $300. Unfortunately, it quit working again after a year. Found the PartSelect website and read the other repair stories so I decided to take a shot at doing it myself. Man am I glad I did.

The repair stories were very helpful. I thought the problem would either be the motor or the optical sensor so I purchased both.

I decided to replace the optical sensor first since the LED light was flashing. I unplugged the refrigerator and removed the three screws holding the plastic cover plates on the left and right side of the freezer. Unplugged the wire harnesses and plugged into the new boards. Replaced the screws and in a couple minutes I heard the icemaker fill with water. 30 minutes later we had ice.

Using PartSelect saved me $200. I will definitely use PartSelect in the future.

First I removed the cover over the motor assembliy,then took out the three phillips screws holding the assembily, then unpluged it. then I pluged the new unit in holding the shut off bar( for when the ice tray is full) in place. then put the three screws back in, pluged the fridge in and the ice maker started working. I put the cover back on and the job was complete. this was a very easy fix.

1. Unplugged power to the fridge.
2. Removed the plastic door covering the icemaker.
3. Removed the screw holding the plastic ring around the electrical wire on the right side of the icemaker and removed the plastic ring.
4. Slowly pulled out the icemaker enough that I could unplug the wire from the right side of the unit and then removed the icemaker.
5. Pulled off the plastic cover over the motor on the left side of the icemaker and removed the three screws holding the motor assembly in place.
6. Pulled the motor assembly off the icemaker and installed the new one.
7. Replaced the three screws in the motor assembly and put the plastic cover back on.
8. Connected the wire back to the right side of icemaker and pushed it back into the freezer.
9. Replaced the plastic ring over the electrical wire and screwed it back in.
10. Replaced the plastic door covering the icemaker.
11. Plugged the fridge back in and a few minutes later we had ice!

replaced emitter and receiver

Replaced sensors but still not making ice. Followed the Brown wire from the Water fill selenoid to the Ice Maker Module. Take the three screws off the Icemaker Gearbox and there was a severely Crusty Connection. It cleaned fairly well and Presto.....ICE!!!

Replaced ice guide.

Pull the old filter out and replaced it with the new fliltler

According to directions on cylinder. I will probably need another filter around june 2012.

your vidieo was soooooo easy save alot on doing it myself. Thanks Brian D from NJ
