7678894150 Kenmore Ice Maker - Instructions

i am not a mechanic so i tried to follow the video instruction. i am afraid that i am going to break a few parts or not able to put it back so i decided to follow instruction from other customer.
i used a phillip screwdriver removed the 3 screws after i turned off the refrigerator and remove the white cap that cover the motor assembly. the trick is to remove the motor assembly. it took me some times to shake the unit, remove the on and off handle from hole of the unit and carefully with little force pulling and shaking the unit it finally came off the ice maker unit. i placed the new unit by pushing it to the ice maker, replaced the on and off handle back in the motor assmble hole, screw the 3 screws back, cover the unit back, plcae the handle bar down to the on position. plug the refrigerator back and it started making ice after one hours. not quite easy.

Removed end cover from ice maker assembly. Motor driven wheel had broken from its plastic shaft. Disconnect power source. Using philips screwdriver, remove three screws from corners of motor mold and remove mold. Per instruction on end cover, rotated strips arm ice ejection tines until they pointed in the two-o'clock position. Dry fit (without screws)new motor mold assembly to ensure that the shaft with flat engaged the socket with flat and that the new part assembly seated flat on icemaker housing re-install 3-screws. Re-connect power source. After 2 hrs. , Confirm that ice cubes are being produced.

Followed the instructional video. It was not exactly like the unit I had but I followed as much as possible. I switched out the motor and within 3 hours had ice.

my husband just took the motor off the existing maker and decided the front part of the unit was bad, I ordered it and it came in about 3 days he put the new front on it and screwed the unit back in the freezer, was about 4 screws I think. Didnt take too long but I would bet the next time it would be easier. Thank you

I removed the ice maker, saw the problem, took the ice maker apart and ordered a new mold. I reassembled it with the new mold and it now makes ice but the control arm remains up after each ice dump. I plan to take the ice maker back out when we leave (we are snow birds in Florida) and see if the arm is properly placed.

Replaced control and motor assembly ordered from you and unit started working.

followed instructions from Partselect on- line video.

After reading solutions to my problem on your website I ordered the part which fixes 50% of the problems. When I got back after Christmas the part had arrived. I removed the Icemaker and replaced the part. It took aprox. 20 minutes for the job. It was easy. Now we have ice cubes again.

easy as pie everthing good thanks

My husband had taken the ice maker out and deceide which part we would need to fix the maker. your online parts list made this possible. The service you provide was most helpful. The shippment got it to us in record time.

I researched the problems on Kitchen Aid ice makers and found that this part failed within four years of service, took a chance and ordered the "Icemaker Control and Motor Assembly", it was the cause.

I didn't, the young man who does all my maintenance work did it. He's super and can do anything. Thanks for making the repairs so simple, not having to pay the going service charge....I paid my Jim $25 compared to probably $65 by a service person.

removed cover, removed (1) screw that holds unit in place, disconnected power connectors, removed (3) screws that held assembly together, attached new part with (3) screws, re-installed unit.

I removed three screws holding unit to the freezer wall. Disconnected power cable. Removed three screws in motor assembly. Detached the old motor assembly. Attached new assembly with same three screws. Re-mounted unit to the freezer wall and re-connected power. One hour later, I had ice again.

Repair was easy and the video on PartSelect was spot on. Basically you take the unit out of the freezer, undo three screws, take out the old motor assembly and put in the new one, replace the screws, and put back in the freezer. Simple.
