10681502 Kenmore Ice Maker - Instructions

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.

sears wanted $450 to replace ice maker or $400 for refubished. I ordered a $60 motor/control unit from parts select. Remove ice maker, remove motor cover, three screws replace and ice within the hour.

My ice maker just stopped filling with water one day and after some troubleshooting, I found that a chunk of ice had built up in the tube between the water supply line and freezer. I took the ice maker out (Don't touch the heating element...it really hurts) and defrosted the ice obstruction by injecting hot water into the tube to melt the ice. I used a new plastic syringe you get with an infant over the counter drug and a bucket to catch the water. I noticed the ice cube mold was peeling and decided to replace the mold. The mold is an easy replacement as long as you remember how you took it apart. My mold had some glue or compound stuck to the side that kept me from getting the mold flush against the motor assembly housing so I had to uncrew and scrape that gunk off and reattached. Other than that, there was nothing to it. Now the ice maker is good for another 8 years.

After removing the ice maker, I guessed that the moter could be the problem,bought new part I installed it and held my breath.thankfully that was it.thanks to parts select I saved a lot of money doing it myself.

Followed video lnstructions which were very good. Have used your web site in the past and will continue to purchase products. Thanks.

turned water off to ice maker unpluged fridg while doing repair which was such short time everything was ok removed 3 1/4 hex screws holding ice maker in position while holding ice maker in hand unpluged wiring connection for it removed old ice mold which coating had come off of which was very simple 2 philips screws which are recessed on control unit then gently wiggle assembly apart paying attention to how all the tray parts went together then reinstalling same way as they were remove very simple repair anyone should be able to do

remove the wiring cover, pulled out the ice maker shelf, unpluged the wiring. Once out I removed the control module cover and remove 3 screws and pulled out the old control module. I pushed on the new control module and reattached the 3 screws, attached the module cover and plugged wiring in, slide back into the freezer track, installed wiring cover and screw- 15 minuits tops

I took the front panel off the ice maker. Found the contacts on control board were burnt. I called Partselect, told them my model # and they directed me to a new control panel. 4 screws later I had part back on and ice makin.
Thanks Partselect!

I unpacked the motor and looked at how it was supposed to go in. I removed on screw in the right rear of the ice maker. Pushed a tab on the left of the ice maker. Removed the entire assembly and unhooked the electrical part of the ice make. unscrewed the three screws holding the motor in place and replaced the motor. Put everything in back together and in 15 minutes the familar sound of the ice maker could be heard.

It took both me and my wife! One of the new parts we recieved was broke so we took the part off of the one that didn't work.

Unplug the fridge. Used the screw driver to remove the motor. Easy. Now putting the new one in was difficult because it has to line up exactly.
Thats what took 15 minutes but after me and my wife worked on it, we had a bucket of ice by morning!
We only knew how to do what we did because of reading these messages on this site. It came with no directions.

removed front cover installed gearbox then attached lift arm plugged in frig turned on h2o and now i have plenty of ice ! ordered part on Saturday got part on monday in the mail and had ice by supper what a great place to shop and the service was great and parts made easy to find on the website. thank you very much! I will refer your business to all my friends.

Removed 4 screws, pulled unit out of slots, unpluged control wires plug and removed from fridg. Removed 3 screws that hold the motor module to unit. Then reversed procedure and had the batch of ice cubes one hour and fifteen minutes from the time I started replacement.

replaced moduale, work just like new.

Pulled off plastic cover on motor, removed 3 screws and removed old motor. installed new motor making sure control arm lined up in slot. be sure to disconnect power before doing this job !!!

unpluged the refrigerator, remove three screws holding ice maker in place, disconnected wire clip, removed front of icemaker by relaesing two clips holding it in place. the module and motor assembly are held in place with three screws. put the icemaker together and replaced it in freezer, and pluged the cord back in. the icemaker started making ice in about 15 minutes. very easy fix
