JFD2589KES Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

Viewed the viedo - it showed what to do

Watch the video and then do the repair.

Removing the large drawer,2 drawers,glass shelve & 2 end supports,two screws on the sliding track & two screws on the Pantry end cap it took me 15 minutes. When removing the left Pantry end cap on the right side, care must be taken because Center Crisper Rail #PS 162879 is attached to the Pantry End cap at the back & real care must be taken to remove it. After all the screws are removed pull the end cap carefuly towards you while moving all to the left until it clears the back wall of the refrigerator. Again, real care must be taken using a flat head screwdriver to remove the plastic track for the Center Crisper Rail. The Pantry End Cap on the left is a lot easier to remove than the right side.

removed the old ice maker and put in the replacement one we purchased.

took off the ice maker, unscrewed the body, replace icemaker shut-off arm, water fill cup & bearing, reconnected the unit & have ice now, Thank you PartSelect

Simply remove the filter and insert the bypass cap in its place. Cap turned a little hard but if your careful everything goes together easily.

The large pull out full width drawer cover hinge pin broke off on the left side. The repair is easy with just two tools, a 1/4" nut driver and a phillips head screw driver. I removed the two conventional drawers that sit above the wide drawer with the broken hinge. Next lift out the glass divider that sits on top of the wide drawer and set it aside and remove the two braces front and back by lifting them out of their respective grooves. Remove the wide drawer with the lid by pushing in on the two black clips on each side of the drawer slide up towards the front and pull entire drawer out while putting pressure on the two clips at the same time. The drawer should come out leaving the drawer slides behind. Unscrew the 1/4" hex screws on the broken side panel using the nut driver and gently pull the side panel straight back toward you. Remove the drawer slide from the broken piece by unscrewing the two phillips head screws and rescrew the drawer slide onto the new side panel. Replace everything in reverse order. One note: do not use too much torque on the screws when replacing the parts as they only screw into plastic, this will avoid them stripping out. A snug fit is all you're after. There now, go pop a beer and sit down and relax, you are now a refrigerator repair man!

easy enough, removed 3 screws, unplugged wiring harness, put new unit on work bench, put old wire harness on new unit, put old motor cover on new unit,(the only trouble i had was figuring out how to swap the light blue plastic piece for the white plastic piece, i just put a screwdriver underneath and applied pressure) plugged harness back into freezer, turned water back on and waited... 2 hours later heard beautiful ice cubes dropping into tray :)

So simple I couldn't believe it! Twist out the old filter then twist in the new! Easy Peasy!

Remove two upper trays. glass shelf and shelf brackets. Remove bottom tray. unscrew side with back vent openings and remove with humidifier controls attached. Carefully remove control arms and back vent cover. Install on new unit and screw back in place. Check to make sure hinge pin lifts drawer top properly.

The ice maker was easy but the older Maytag inlet valves are rigid plastic line- make sure that line is properly connected to back of fridge- the 1st night the water leaked down back of freeze- thus no ice in ice maker tray ----but the bottom of freezer was full of frozen water--- took ice maker off and realigned inlet pipe- once that was done- no more problems- ( did also have to take hair dryer and remove all ice build up in bottom of freezer --- remember to check that rigid line as it can become detached while changing out ice maker assembly- thx Greg

This was a very simple repair. It took longer to remove the crisper bins than it did to repair the pantry end cap.

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
