UKI2500AXX Maytag Ice Maker - Instructions

It was real easy. I unpluged the fridge. Took out the three screws that held the icemaker to the wall. Unpluged the wire harness. Removed the old icemaker and reversed the order to install the new one. Everything lined up perfectly.

First, unplug power to Fridge, then remove ice bin and set to one side, then remove the clip that holds the fill tube down by pulling up on it, and remove the fill tube. Remove the two top screws on ice maker assembly first, as the bottom screw will support unit. Then remove the single bottom screw. Rotate the Ice Maker slightly down and this will expose the electrical connector. With a short, small, flat head screwdriver in your left hand, depress the locking tab for the connector, while your right hand supports the assembly and pulls the connector outward to disconnect. Remove old Ice Maker, and remove the bin full lift wire, it's a slide in fit and install in your new unit. Check your fill tube water diverter on the right side of Ice Maker unit , you may need to remove the blank, it is U shaped and molded for easy removal, but use caution when removing to be on the safe side, this allows the fill tube to go down into the diverter, Re-Assemble in reverse order. Give the unit plenty of time to reach proper operating temp, and cycle. Make sure and discard your first Ice cycle.

I took the screws out holding old old ice maker, unpluged the electrical socket and old unit came right out. All I had to do then was plug electrical socket into new icemaker place unit in position and put the one screw back in the held it in place. Plug frig and and it filled with water in about 15 minutes and started making ice. Part was a exact match to the one I removed.

very simple,remove old and unplug install new,three screws, used old hose clip.

First i removed the top two screws that help the ice maker in place then remove the bottom screw, then unplug unit from freezer, removed ice maker for freezer, took out wire harnes, put wire harnes in new ice maker, plug new unit in place the unit in freezer and put in the bottom screw, them align the top two screw and but them in and was done. Check ice maker in two hours and there was new ice being made.

Piece of cake. Removed two screws, pivoted old ice make up, lifted it out of the mounts. Installing the new one was just the reverse.

Identifying the correct replacement ice make was easy also, due to the photographs on PartsSelect.com

There was three screws to remove to unmout the ice maker, and unplug the wire harness,then two to remove to slip in new stripper. All took about 20 mins.

I simply removed 3 nut head screews and the old unit came off. I removed the ice level arm off the old unit and put on the new one. I removed the old wire harness and plugged into the new unit. I mounted the new unit, plugged it in and was done. I had ice in less than an hour. So simple my 11 year old could have done it without help.

Most of the stories on repairing this ice maker indicated that was real easy until describing the Amana version. The fill tube attaches differently. The recommendation was to use your old "cup". I have found that to make the change required that you find a philips screw driver and locate two access holes in the motor end of the control unit. you can loosen those two screws (they won't fall out) all of the way and pull the control unit from the tray part of the ice maker. DON'T remove the three screws that hold the control unit together or rotate the sprocket. This will allow you to disassemble the parts that hold the "cup" in place. Just remember "if it isn't coming apart easily your not doing it right".

First I loosened 2 phillips head screws at the top of the ice maker (the one that is close to the front is a little difficult to get a screwdriver on). These 2 screws do not have to be removed. Took 1 screw out of the L-bracket at the bottom of the ice maker. I then slipped the icemaker upward from the 2 top screws and unplugged the electrical wires at the connector at back of the refrigerator to remove the ice maker. I then removed the front cover from it and placed it on the replacement ice maker. I also swapped the L-brackets on the two ice makers as the new one was bent. I then reinstalled the new Ice maker in the reverse order.

used 1/4 inch wrench to remove bottom screw
and loosend tip screw and removed valve wires and water line

Ordered new part by the numbers and pics. and installation was so easy. I thank you very much

I opened the box, unwrapped the new ice pan, gave it a cursory rinse, and put it in the freezer.

Followed the tutorial on the site and it was spot on. had the same problem as most- dirt in the ice, and then it stopped altogether. was well worth the $100 for the info/parts. would do it again in a second

Repair was fairly straight-forward. First removed the ice cube receptacle and the glass rack for access to the ice maker. Loosened two hex head screws at the top of the rear plate of the ice maker (do not remove completely), and removed one hex head screw at the bottom of the rear mounting plate of the ice maker. After removing the bottom screw, lifted the ice maker off the two top screws. The only real difficulty was positioning the unit so as to be able to unplug the wiring harness from the rear left side of the ice maker. This turned out to be a awkward, but a little manouvering allowed access to the harness receptacle. A metal clip at the rear of the icemaker clips over the insulation of one of the wires in the wiring harness. Remove the clip from the wire before attempting to remove the icemaker. The wiring harness was too short to allow access to the release tab at the top of the harness connector, so the tab had to be worked loose with a screwdriver from the front of the receptacle. If you take this approach, make sure power has been turned off to the refrigerator to avoid an electrical accident. A probe with a short right-angle tip would release the tab without resorting to inserting a screwdriver into the receptacle. Remove the old unit and set aside. -- Compare the replacement icemaker with the original to determine whether any brackets, clips, wire bails, etc. must be transferred to the new unit. In this case, only the wire bail that gages depth of ice in the ice receptacle had to be transferred. Water entered the old unit through a cutout in the back of the cube-shaped plastic piece at the right side of the icemaker. The new unit had a pre-molded opening in the right side of the cube for water entry. Three score marks were provided in the rear wall of the cube to convert the new unit to rear water entry. Using a box knife, the rear of the plastic cube on the new unit was opened along the score marks. The extra opening in the side does not seem to cause any leakage problem. Installation of the new unit is the reverse of disassembly. Insert the wiring harness plug into the receptacle at the rear of the new icemaker. The plug should only engage the receptacle in the right orientation due to the latching tab and notch on the plug and receptacle. Press the plug into the receptacle until the latching tab is engaged. Place the wire clip at the lower rear of the unit (transfer the clip from the old unit if necessary) over the wire the clip was originally removed from and press firmly to seat the clip on the wire. Reorient the back side of the icemaker toward the mounting screws in the rear wall of the freezer compartment. Place the two slotted holes in the rear of the new unit over the screws in the back of the freezer compartment and press down to engage the screws. Replace the third screw in the lower mounting flange of the new icemaker. Tighten all three self-threading screws, being careful to not strip out the holes in the freezer wall. Replace the ice receptacle and the glass rack (if equipped) and unit is ready to use. Dispose of the first couple of ice dumps to insure any debris has been flushed out of the new icemaker.
