JCB2059GES (PJCB2059GS1) Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

Loosed the top 2 screws and removed the bottom screw. The ice maker came right out. Changed bail, and fixed our problem.

Replaced the ice maker by removing one screw, disconnecting the power harness and installing the new unit.

After receiving the new icemaker in the mail, I went on line and got some directions and advice from people who had to do the same job. It was helpful getting their input, because many of them seemed to be doing it for the first time, and even though I'm mechanically inclined, I like to know what I'm getting into before I start.
The on-line help was excellent, and because of this I was able to make the R&R of the ice maker without a hitch.

Removed three screws, unplugged the electrical from the side of the freezer. Transferred the electric and the ice level bar to the new unit. Plugged the unit back in, installed the three screws and that was it. The teflon on the unit was coming off which caused the leak and a fowl taste in the ice cubes. The new unit took care of this. Received the package in three days, wonderful!! Anyone could do this themself!!

First, I read about 15 descriptions of this repair on your web site. Then I carefully attempted the job. I found that, as others said, the most difficult part of the replacement was the electrical connection, both unplugging and plugging it back in to the replacement part. The icemaker did not seem to function at first, so I removed the part and made sure I had fully inserted the plug into the receptacle. This took far less time than the initial removal and replacement. It began to work fine, and is really an easy job- just makes a person nervous w/o directions, etc.

removed the pantry drawer, pushed tabs holding the door, and door came right off. new door went on whole repair took no more than 5 minutes. Longest time took arguing with my wife on how the door came off, and she was right and I was wrong

Removed one screw that held the unit in place. Took a few minutes to determine how to disengage the unit from the plastic clips. The most difficult part was disconnecting the electrical cable.but in less than 30 minutes the new unit was in place and filled with water to start forming ice.

Remove ice bin. Loosen two mounting screws holding ice maker in place ( not necessary to remove screws), Remove two screws holding cover over ice auger. Behind cover is connection for ice maker. Need two hands to disconnect wiring connector from ice maker( tight area to work in,narrow shoulders and long arms help). Squeeze tab on one end of connector while pulling connectors apart. DO NOT PULL ON WIRES, ONLY PULL APART CONNECTORS.
After ice maker is out use pin points on end of timer to check contact points to be sure all contacts are made. Is possible to insert an Ohm meter probe in holes at end of timer, it is not necessary to remove timer to check unless problem is found with open contact.

First I unplugged the refrigerator. Then I removed three screws holding the ice maker using a small socket set. The hardest part was unpluggung the connector on the ice maker because of the tight fit. Then I changed the plastic cover and wire rod from the old unit to the new one and reinstalled the ice maker in reverse order. l have done repairs like this before which was good because there were no instructions provided. Reading these repair stories helped remind me how easy it was to do. I had new ice in less than one hour.

Easier than expected. I reserved several hours of my time but was surprised it only took about 20 minutes. I removed the ice cube bin from the freezer and was able to access the one screw that held the ice maker assembly in place (at the bottom). Then it was just a matter of lifting the assembly off the two hooks near its top by pulling the bottom slightly away from the wall it was mounted on and sliding up. The water inlet was just a tube that slid in to the icemaker so no problem there. The wiring harness was a little tricky to disconnect or I would have been done much faster (I know better now). I moved the arm and harness from the old to the new and installed the new assembly. It took about two hours to start making ice and the bin has been full ever since.

I would like to point out that I originally ordered the part from another site who had it $2.00 cheaper with "free ground shipping". I needed it sooner than 7 to 9 days so I upgraded to 2-day shipping for an extra $19.95. After two days, it turned out they still hadn't shipped the part! I cancelled and order from PartSelect. They only charged $12.95 for two-day shipping which more than made up for the misleading $2.00 price difference. PartSelect also delivered exactly when I expected. I learned my lesson and will use PartSelect first next time.

Removed drawers and glass shelf. Used 1/4 inch socket to remove three screws on broken end cap.
removed two screws from left side draw slide from old part. Installed draw slide on new part. Installed new end cap and tightened screws. re-installed glass shelf and drawers.Easy job and a great price for the part. Thank you

Used a screwdriver to pry loose the old switch, swapped wires to the new switch and pushed it into the opening. Took about 2 minutes.

threw out the old icemaker, replaced it with the new one. just had to pry off the cap of the housing and plug the original cable to the new assembly - bingo.
I'm happy and proud - saved a large repair-bill :-)

This is 2nd of a two part troubleshooting. 1st was the inlet valve/solenoid which did not work. I then ordered the ice maker, If I would inspected the old one, I would of ordered it first as all of the coating had come off. Anyway piece of cake installing, took 3 minutes. Hint: don't get exciting if it doesn't work right away, the freezer has to reach freezing again prior water being released to it.

First of all the part came in less than 24 hours, amazing. It was very simple to repair and everything is as good as new. Thanks so much for being such a great company to work with. I have ordered other replacement parts before from you and will continue to use your company.
