JCD2389GES Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

Open refridgerator door, remove old filter by hand in a counterclockwise direction. Insert new filter turning clockwise. Close refridgerator door and fill a glass with water from dispenser. This will remove air and ensure water to free flow. Check for leaks.

Removed the Crisper drawers and shelf. I then used a nutdriver to remove the broken supports, and installed the new supports using the same screws.

Thanks to the repair description dated 4/16/08, I was able to replace the part without major problems.
My old defrost timer was not in a case. The screws from the old one was not long enough to hold the new timer.
One additional note is that the temperture controls are mounted with slotted holes to allow the screws to stay in the top while you place the controls back in.
As far as I know now (5 days later), the defrost must be working,since I don't see any frost buildup on the coils. Thanks to the previous person that helped very much.
Still working fine (7/09). The freezer was much colder after the new defrost timer was installed. Thanks.

It was so easy to do and I saved myself over $200. One thing you have to do is let the unit defrost 24-48 hours before putting the new adapter in.

1. Remove plastic cover at the top of the refrigerator side, little tricky getting it loose (just have to shimmy it around a little)

2. Remove light bulbs

3. Remove the 5-7 screws and bolts (i suggest you draw a little diagram so you know where they go later). They all came out easy except small one above left light bulb required a little more time.

4. Pull down the plastic cover and the in the back right corner is a little computer chip device (the Adapter) gently release it and wait for your new part to arrive.

5. Reassemble and enjoy your practically new fridge :)

i put a defroster in the freezer first that was just a clamp and to unpluge to then that didnt work so i had to order another computer defroster and when i installed that it didnt work at first so i went back to the part i first put in and check ed it and the senor was not on. very good self instrution great help

After installing the new solenoid and hooking it up as per the wiring diagram still the ice maker crushes the ice cubes in both "crushed ice" and "ice cubes" pisition (solenoid would not produce the magnetic field). Instead it is getting very hot.

So, i need an additinal advise.

The repair was very easy! The first part received was defective ( refrigarator did not turn on ) . I got a replacement really fast and the refrigerator is now working ! Great customer service!!!

took the replacement part and removed to 2 salvageable parts from the leaking tray and installed the 2 on the new tray and then reinstalled the whole unit and we again have ice cubes.

Removed screw holding the broken support then using the same screw installed new support. Easy job.

I went on line looking for information on Amana Icemakers. Found a number of good sources,how to videos.Using the trouble shooting information I found and the how to videos and Parts Select part search to select the replacement icemaker needed for my Amana that was purchased in 1993.Rolled the frig out changed the leads on the water valve. hit the water dispenser and water went into the ice tray: Water valve good.Did a pre-teardown. Unplug Frig.removed ice bucket. removed three sheet metal screws making it easy to rotate ice maker and unplug the power/control cable. Old ice maker out ready to install new one. New icemaker arrives take ice bucket out, transfer on/off bail from old icemaker to new one attach power cable and in about thirty minutes icemaker is bolted in, fill tube in place and prefill ice tray to start the process. In afew hours we were making ice. pitched the first two harvests.Its working like a champ. Have plenty of ice. Very happy with the whole process.

Unplug the refrigerator before starting to do this repair. The biggest problem I had was getting the outer cover detached. I followed the video and written text but had difficulty getting the cover off. I did find that I needed to pull the cover forward and down from the front and line up the square opening in the cover with the mount tab and then slightly bow the cover (by pulling down at the rear) to get the cover to release from the mount. The opening in the cover is shaped like an L and the square attachment point is at the bottom of the L. The left side of the cover was more difficult to release than the right. Once I had the cover off removing the scale and the light panel was easy. I discovered that I really did not need to remove the philips screws that hold the panel. I only needed to looen them enough to slide the entire panel to the left and pull it down (maybe I missed that part in the video). Access to the ADT was easy and getting the connector released was easy - just apply downward presure on the connector while pulling it off. The connector is held in place by a catch along the top edge of the board connector. My original ADT was not in a housing and there was a paper wiring diagram stuffed in between the board and the side of the panel, which I had to remove to get the new unit to fit. The new ADT plugged in without a problem but the screws from the old unit did not bite into the new housing with much force. I don't think this will be a problem as the housing is captive in that area and shouldn't go anywhere. Putting everything back together took only a few minutes and again, getting the outer cover back on proved to be a bit of a challenge. Now with the temperature controls set to the mid-point both sides are maintaining temperature. It has only been 6 days since the repair so it will be awhile before I know if this really fixed the problem. The Partselect.com web site with the symptom list and the accompanying video made this repair a high confidence repair.

The replacements parts were aftermarket parts so I could not simply replace the one piece I needed. I did replace all the original parts with the aftermarket parts and it works perfectly. I wish the design was closer to the original, but it is just as functional. The only problem I ran into was the images on the instruction sheet were difficult to see. The text however did an exceptional job of explaining each step.

Just a filter replacement -- however more impressed with the speed of which I could receive the replacement.

Can't find them anywhere local -- glad I found Part Perfect!

Removed the chiller level and ice bin exposing the icemaker assembly.
Unplugged the icemaker assembly electrical connecter.
Used the nut driver to remove three screws that fasten the icemaker assembly to the refrigerator side wall and angle bracket.
Removed Ice tray assembly.
Reversed the steps to install the new icemaker.
Cured the problem.

Thank you PartSelect. Ordered the replacement icemaker for our Amana refigerator, watched the installation video on PartSelect.com. Followed the instructions, took 15 minutes, works like new. Couldn't have been easier.
