106678200 Kenmore Ice Maker - Instructions

Removal was easy...Removing and installing arm was a bit difficult...Called a service man to install...He also had a bit of difficulty, but had it done in less than 45 minutes... He mentioned that my brackets had a different set up than most...

remove the ice bucket support bracket and remove bottom screw from icemaker, loosing the two top screws and slide icemaker back enoughto unplug electric harness

I viewed the video that was provided on partselect.com. The video was very instrumental in the removal and installation of the ice maker. I removed the old ice maker and installed the new ice marker, turn the water valve back on and had ice within 24 hours. When I reconnected the electrics and turned the water supply back on to the ice maker I thought it would fill with water right away, but it didn't. So I determined that the ice maker needed to run though a cycle, which took several hours, before it actually started making ice. With the video I was able to change the ice maker in less than a half an hour.

I undid two top screws and one bottom screw. The tools came out of my cheapo walmart tool kit. I disconnected the power connector. I then put the new Icemaker in and waited for ICE. 12 hours later still no ice. I contacted Parts Select and before I knew it an new Icemaker was ordered and delivered to my doorstep. I received several emails to confirm the refund and re-billing of icemaker. I was absolutly astonished by how well they responded. I figured weeks after the first replacement came in DOA but two days later I had Ice and all was well.

First I removed one screw that hold the element in place, lifted element about half an inch. I then pulled the element out about 2-3 inches and disconnected the wire. Then replaced two clips on top of element and re-connected the wire, put screw back and VUALYA....done!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easy removel: remove one screw and loosen two others; unplug connector; swap actuator bar; replace

Removed bottem screw and loosened two top screws. Removed icemaker from support screws and disengaged cable. Replaced in reverse order. Total time was about 15 minutes.

Great DIY experience. Ordering the part was easy and delivery was very fast. Simple installation and had my first cubes in apprximately 15 minutes.

. . . thanks!

Unbelievable experience. Ordered on Friday received on Saturday. Removed three nuts with a nutdriver, unplugged the old icemaker, plugged in the new one and replaced the three nuts. I went from order to ice in the bucket in about 24 hours. Thanks

Removed the old ice maker and replaced with new.

I watched the demo on how to replace the ice marker and it was that simple. I removed three screws and unplugged it from the freezer. The difficult part was removing the wire on, off switch. You must pull it out carefully. It is a sung fit.

Removed three screws and unpluged wiring. Replaced new unit by plugging in wire and replacing three screws.

Lossen two screws at the top and remove one at the bottom and lift the unit off of the top screws, unplug the old unit and after cutting out the tray for the water fill spout plug the new one in. No problem .................

I took out the bottom locking screw and loosened the top two screws. I took the old icemaker out. I disconnected the wiring harness at the ice maker. I attached the new icemaker and mounted it in place. I didn't have to use any of the included wiring harnesses since the old one worked fine. I did use the old wire bale. I'm fairly ungifted in fixing things so I was amazed at how easy and inexpensive this was. The icemaker started up right away. The whole thing probably cost less that just the service call minimum would have been.

Turn off water, removed two mounting screws, unplugged solenoid, removed incoming water connection and plastic pipe to ice maker. Installed new valve, connected water lines, reconnected plug, remounted with screws. Turned water back on, over rode power to ice maker and checked for leaks. Total time about 5 minutes. Very easy repair.

Removing the hex screws from the existing unit was trouble until I found the screwdriver attachment to the hex wrench. The MOLEX type power connector was an exact match for what was on the unit, so the conversion cables were not needed. Unit worked fine. No more leaks.
