Ice maker would overflow
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".

Ice maker had a leak and was putting wter in ice tray
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.

Old ice maker out of time?
No instructions were sent, but 3 screws and one set of plug-in wires cannot be difficult.

Ice maker coating was cracked causing water to drip and freeze in ice catcher
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.

ice maker replacement
After being scammed by a repairman who charged for repair that didn't work, then promised to order replacement, then said he couldn't get it, I was pleased to find your site. Ordered the part, watched the installation video,received the part within two days, replaced it in 10 minutes--it works perfectly. I only wish I had looked on internet before calling repairman recommended by my dealer.

Not making ice
This is 2nd of a two part troubleshooting. 1st was the inlet valve/solenoid which did not work. I then ordered the ice maker, If I would inspected the old one, I would of ordered it first as all of the coating had come off. Anyway piece of cake installing, took 3 minutes. Hint: don't get exciting if it doesn't work right away, the freezer has to reach freezing again prior water being released to it.

Ice maker was not working,when I pulled the end cover off I noticed the timing dial was broken.
I pulled the old one out and went on-line to find a part. Once I found the right sight that had the part I ordered it and had it shipped to my house. When the part came in just a few days I installed it and now it's working just fine......

Water leak in ice compartment
Trouble shooting was the difficult part. All advice was to replace the valve but water did not leak with icemaker removed. Found the release coating in the icemaker tray had cracked and peeled away. Since this is also the water seal, the tray would drip water after filling, before freezing. The new icemaker solved the problem.

Icemaker was rusting and dropping sand like stuff in the ica
I had an idea on how to do the repair, because I had removed the icemaher already. I watched the video on the website just to be sure of what I was doing. Went well ice is great now.

Ice Maker Stopped Working
Removed the old ice maker by disconnecting the wiring harness, loosening to side screws and removing a third screw under the ice maker. Installed the new ice maker following the above instructions in reverse order. Ice maker started working after about 30-45 minutes (probably for the tray to get cold enough). It was a very simple process. Thanks.
