MZD2665HEB Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

Disconnted current icemaker and removed from freezer. Took off front cover and long arm that control ice dispenser. Put cover and control arm on new icemaker, reconnected bundled wires into new icemaker and clipped along side of icemaker and remounted into freezer. Connnected into back panel for power and checked water supply line to make sure it was lined up properly and job was done. Made sure arm was in down position, had ice cubes in an approx 90 mins.

I found your website with the step by step video on how to replace the ice maker on my refrigerator. It looked really simple, so I ordered the part from you and it was here in 2 days. It absolutely took less than 15 min to remove the old ice maker and replace it with the new one----and it works. You helped me save close to $200.00. Thank you!!!

Replaced ice maker assembly, 5 screws out, unplug the wire, take some attachments off the old ice maker and put it on the new one, plug it in, 5 screws in...done. I did have to take a mirror to see how to unclip the wire, which turned out to be the hardest part of the whole job..

It was easy and my daughter did most of the work while I assisted.
Removed contents from freezer, unplugged refrigerator, shut off water to ice maker. Used hairdryer to thaw inside, placed ice catcher in sink to thaw. Removed defective ice maker and transferred trip lever and wire bundle to new unit. Installed new unit, bent mounting bracket located on bottom of new unit so that when installed the ice maker is horozontally level. Plugged refrig in and turned on water. Water does not come in right away as the temp probably has to be restored to freezing level before things start to work....so just let it run. In the morning lots of nice cubes and no leaks...hooray!

Had to remove the ice-maker (also easier than trying to work inside the freezer letting all the cold air out). A few mounting screws and an electrical connection in the back. After it was out you will need to remove the cover (not the superficial cover that just pries off) where the gear is behind it, just far enough so you can get the mounting tabs on the ice-stripper in. In order to to move this cover out, after removing the screws (the obvious), you'll need needle nose pliers to ever so slightly squeeze the plastic clips together that hold the plastic movable bracket and the metal ice level arm/switch, so it will pop out. Once you have room to put the ice stripper in, it should just all snap back together, then proceed in reverse to put it all back together.

I just lifed the old grate off and layed the new one in.

I had several times tried to get the old switch out but with no success. Ordered the "repair kit" and followed directions for removing old switch (there is a plastic spring clip on one side). Easy to unplug the old switch, plug the leads into the new one, snap the new one into place. Took about 5 minutes total--piece of cake. I wish I'd thought to try this years ago when the old switch began to fail.

Following diagram on website, I removed the 2 screws on the face of freezer door ice dispencer.Removed old chute door and solenoid. Replaced with new. I purchased all parts involved because they were inexpensive. The issue was most likely the solenoid.After installation ,the chute door had a sound of being positively closed by the solenoid.I\Frost no longer forming!

removed the spill tray, then two bolts. removed ice dispenser assembly by removing 3 more bolts. changed the seal and the insulation and reimstalled unit in hte reverse order. works perfectly -no more ice build up in the chute.

Removed mounting screws
Disconnected file hose
Flipped unit over to remove connecter
(This was the only difficult operation; unpluging & pluging it in)
New part fit was very good
Reversed the disassembly order to install
New assembly had to cycle a while to produce ice cubes. I'm very happy now, so bring on the hot weather.

removed the old filter. unwrapped the new one. peeled off the protective foil. inserted new filter as directed. placed old filter in sink to drain. ran "water" from dispenser to purge air from line. Shazam!

20 seconds. Easy Easy.

pulled the augur which moves the ice out the chute, replaced it in new bucket, tested it and all was well. It's worked as it should since.

Pulled the plug on the refrig. ( This is important since the heating bar on the bottom of the ice maker could come on as soon as you plug it in and burn your hand ). Removed the ice bin to get it out of the way and then removed the 1/4" hex screw from the support bracket under the old ice maker ( don't lose it ). Pushed up on the old ice maker to dislodge it from the 2 support clips on the top of the ice maker. Squeezed both sides of the wire harness plug and pulled it out and removed the old ice maker. Removed the wire harness and level bar from the old ice maker and installed them on the new ice maker. Plugged the ice maker wire harness into the female receptacle in the freezer. Popped the ice maker in to the top support clips making sure the rubber water chute from the refrig. was in place in the round ice maker receptacle. Plugged bak in the refrig. and I was getting ice in about 2 hours. Working fine after 1 week producing plenty of ice. RussK---

following the advice of this site, purchased a new ice maker. Old one was simple to unhook and remove and new one was just as easy to install. Within no time at all, I had ice being made and it has been working perfect since. Thank you for the help...
