JFD2589KES Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

The best part of the repair was how easy it was to find and order the part. Instead of searching the parts houses around town I just went to the PartSelect web site, quickly found and ordered the part in about five minutes, received the part the next day at my home and was ready to make the repair. Wow! What a pleasure for something to work the way it was meant to. Removed old switch located by prying out with sharp knife or screwdriver. Don't worry about breaking it or cracking plastic. Disconnect(unplug) wires from back of switch. Replace (plug-in) wires on back of new switch. Insert in location of old switch. Finisheed.

I watched your online video and it was VERY easy! No extra assistance or tools were needed to replace the two parts.

By watching a video.

Purchase Ice Maker from PartSelect and replaced the old one with the new one. Instructional video from PartSelect was very helpful.

Remove the two vegi drawers on the bottom.
Remove the glass covering for the top of "deli-drawer".
Remove the entire Deli drawer from the glides and put aside.
Remove the broken side using the nut driver (3 screws)
Transfer the drawer glides from broken part to new part (2 screws).
Put back the new plastic side and re attache to side of frig (3 screws, again).
Put back the drawer in the glides, works like an office file drawer with "clips" on the end.

Your done. My kids could do it. All of the time is spent removing the "stuff" and cleaning all the "yuck" that you find once you remove the bottom drawer. Un screwing and re attaching 5 screws takes less then 2 minutes. Quit thinking about this and save yourself 100$ by NOT calling a repair guy.

I took out the pantry drawer, the drawer slide on the left side (2 screws), then the broken pantry end cap (three screws). Just to be sure I pulled out both crisper drawers so as not to damage those in the process. The new part matched up perfectly and all went back into place easily. I would recommend that anybody can do this repair. Easy squeezy!!

I watched the repair video on PartSelect.com which made the repair very simple. I just removed one nut with a 1/4" nut driver, detached the unit from the clips mounted on the side of the freezer compartment and disconnected the wiring harness. Once the unit was removed I disconnected the wiring harness and the bail from the old unit and installed them onto the new ice maker. It took a couple of tries to snap the new unit into the clips on the side of the freezer compartment but after this was accomplished I connected the wiring harness and installed the mounting screw. Then I place the bail in the on position (down) and about an hour later I had ice.

I ordered the parts by putting my problems onto google which got me to PartSelect who helped me pick out what I needed.
First the ice maker was making a loud grinding noise for days and then stopped making ice.
Also, the shoot cover in the dispenser was not closing, ice was getting stuck and water squirted out all over and made a huge mess. One day I got a small white plastic piece in a cup of ice water and knew that something had broken off. When the chute door would not close and ice was getting stuck...I knew I had to order the ice dispenser solenoid and door kit, even if I needed just the round circle that was the chute door. It turned out that it was that which needed replacing so my handyman and I watched the You Tube Select Part video on changing the ice dispenser solenoid. It was fairly easy and took 1/2 hour.
Next my handyman watched the video on how to change the ice maker, and he did so as such. When finished, we did not hear any action or water dripping inside the ice maker so my handyman wondered if anyone turned off the water...and since no body did, I told him that if I didn't have ice by tonight, I would call him so he could come back out and see why. But after dinner, I checked the ice bin and there was some ice. The water squirted out in a small neat stream and was glad to see that everything was fixed; and I didn't have to call a service company, which meant paying double the price!

Literally removed two screws from the old unit, removed the humidity control from the old unit and put in on the new unit. Put the two screws back in and put the lid back on.

Your service saved us over $100 in a service call to get the unit repaired. The information from other people doing the same repair was valuable information.

Thanks

removed the 2 fruit & vegtable bins, glass shelf then 2 nuts from the end cap. Instaled the new end cap and rest of stuff in less than 15 min. worked great ..

Removed icemaker found ice mold protective layer coming off. Replaced ice mold and working great. Online graphic very detailed and easy to determine part needed. Easy and great delivery. Highly recommended for future repairs.

removed the old icemaker and replaced with new one. It took some time for the icemaker to start making ice again.

Actually, my daughter---who is much more mechanically-minded than I---did it. We had to borrow the socket set from a friend. It was relatively simple to do. Of course, the 'fix' led to needing to clean the 'fridge, so that really took the most effort!

Important to note here: THE QUICK RESPONSE OF PARTSELECT IN GETTING THE PARTS TO ME QUICKLY WAS AMAZING!!!

Removed 1 lower screw with nut driver, pushed up and away from inner panel, unplugged harness and it was ready to come out. Reused old wiring harness and end cap. Reinstalled icemaker, it took about 24 hours to start making ice(to fill bin) and now everything works like its supposed to.

This was easy because I looked at other repair stories. What nobody mentioned is don't be afraid to swing the temperature control slider around after you get all the screws out. It just sort of hooks into a notch in the back of the cabinet. Pull the whole "L" toward you on a 90 degree swing and it will slip out. Then you can take it out and jiggle the rest of the parts to exchange them Also, if you have the screwdriver with the interchangeable tips you also have the nut driver you need. I was disappointed because I thought I would surprise my husband by doing it myself but didn't have a nut driver. Then I thought of the holder for the screwdriver tips and it was a perfect fit! Surprise.
