CNS22V8 (BR17B) Admiral Refrigerator - Instructions

I removed the old icemaker, took it out to my shop & removed the wiring and etc. and put it back in place.

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.

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.

1. Removed part from packaging. 2. Cleaned part with foodsafe cleaners. 3. Rinsed thoroughly. 4. Dried thoroughly to prevent frost. 5. Placed bin in freezer. 6. Turned on ice maker. 7. Waited. 8. Discarded first batch to clear supply line. 9. Waited. 10. Enjoyed ice. 11. Provided these inductions.

first i flipped the power switch to the fridge and i took out the three screws unhooked the electrical, and i put the new ice maker in in the same manner hooked the electrical back up put the screws in and job was done. and about 2hrs later we had ice.

Remove ice bin. Loosen two mounting screws holding ice maker in place ( not necessary to remove screws), Remove two screws holding cover over ice auger. Behind cover is connection for ice maker. Need two hands to disconnect wiring connector from ice maker( tight area to work in,narrow shoulders and long arms help). Squeeze tab on one end of connector while pulling connectors apart. DO NOT PULL ON WIRES, ONLY PULL APART CONNECTORS.
After ice maker is out use pin points on end of timer to check contact points to be sure all contacts are made. Is possible to insert an Ohm meter probe in holes at end of timer, it is not necessary to remove timer to check unless problem is found with open contact.

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

bought a new ice maker (D7824706Q) and it was delivered in about two days. ordering was super easy but not as easy as the install of the ice maker. i simply removed the three hex head screws, two on top and one on bottom. unplugged the ice maker, removed front cover to remove plug(you must reuse), remove shut off arm off old ice maker. plugged plug back on new ice maker,put shut off arm on new icemaker. plugged new icemaker to frig and reinstalled the 3 hex head screws. it really took less than 15 mins.

disconnected wiring from ice maker to refer.
removed three mounting screws holding the ice maker to the refer. removed ice maker, removed the wiring from old ice maker and installed on the new one. installed new unit making sure that the water filler tube is in the correct location. plug the wire back to the refer. Done

Removed three screws, unplugged the electrical from the side of the freezer. Transferred the electric and the ice level bar to the new unit. Plugged the unit back in, installed the three screws and that was it. The teflon on the unit was coming off which caused the leak and a fowl taste in the ice cubes. The new unit took care of this. Received the package in three days, wonderful!! Anyone could do this themself!!

I started by removing the ice tray. I unscrewed the three screws holding the ice maker.I positioned the icemaker to the point I could insert a screwdriver into the space that releases the power clip and pushed and nudged the power clip out. I then pulled out the broken icemaker and replugged the new one in. I then put the icemaker back in the position it was originally in and replaced the screws. Getting the clip out was the trickiest thing about it. You have to position it where you can see the clip. All in all it was a simple fix. The icemaker started making ice not to long after that. I did this while leaving the refrigerator on. I think they suggest unplugging it. It was not that hard to do. I saved sixty five dollars on labor and another thirty five dollars on the unit by not using the appliance repair company.

first removed bottom screw. then loosened two top screws enough to lift and free icemaker. held unit out slightly from wall of fridge and unnplugged wiring plug, freeing icemaker. then took wiring harness and wire bail from old unit and installed on new icemaker. then plugged new unit in and attached to fridge. in about 30 minutes it started making ice. Has worked well since.

With a phillips head driver, I loosened all the screws on the left side tray support, and completely took out the the second screw. I removed the screw because it is the lower support for the ice maker. I used a flat end screw driver and loosened the top two screws on the top of the ice maker. You don't need to remove them comletely. The unit just slides up and out. Just reverse the steps to install. It took me under ten minutes.

Researched the part and the fridge. Turned off the power, left the water on. Opened the freezer door and pulled the ice tray straight out. Used a mirror and flashlight to locate screws and tabs. Took the screw out, tilted the old ice maker about 20 degrees away from the wall of the freezer and pulled down on it to release it from the nylon tabs. Unhooked the electric wiring harness. Switched out parts that were reused, plugged in wiring harness, and installed the new ice maker. Make sure you get the water tube back in the hole of the new ice maker. clcked the the new unit in placed reinstalled the screw, reinstalled the ice dispenser and in less than an hour ice began flowing.
