CNS22V8 (BR17A) Admiral Refrigerator - Instructions

I first loosened the hex screws and lifted the unit off. Then I unplugged old unit from the wiring harness. I did have to switch the inlet funnel since the new unit was a little different. I used the one from the old unit. I then plugged it back in, rehung and tightened the screws. The unit started operating within a few hours.

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.

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.

Replaced the ice making assembly and all works fine now. PS2121513 Ice Maker Assembly

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.

R&R unit in 5 minutes, very easy...

First I took the front cover of element off and pull the electric conne out. Next I loosened the two screws that hold the element top in place. I then removed the screw at bottom that fixed on L-angle.
And then took thermo sensor that was holed by cramp out.
Replace new ice making element as reverse order. It was very easy job.

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......

Replaced the ice maker by removing one screw, disconnecting the power harness and installing the new unit.

The repair was easy.....took out a couple of screws, and it was out. Put a couple screws in and it worked right away.

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.

The swap was quite easy. All I had to do was remove 3 nuts and unplug the flat wire connector. I kept the old unit when I took it out in case I needed any parts, but the only thing I needed to transfer over was the Ice level wire. Very straightforward!

Ordered Friday and received the next day. Pulled the refrigerator out, turned off the water, removed 3 screws, unplugged wire harness. Removed old harness and wire shut off rack from ice maker, installed on the new ice maker plugged in put, replaced the 3 screws, turned the water back on, finished. Took less then 10 minutes for all this to happen. Piece of cake! Had ice the next day. Never ordered, received, and fixed anything this fast!
