HMG67184 Admiral Refrigerator - Instructions

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".

I had to find a couple screws that would match the clips and kickplate. I screwed on the clips. The kickplate snapped on perfectly.

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.

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!

I got the replacement ice maker the next day after I ordered it...really fast shipment which was very nice. All I had to do is unscrew 4 screws, un-hook the wire harness from the back of the old ice maker and take the old ice maker out. Then repeat the same steps in reverse to put the new on in. It took less than 10 minutes if that. Very easy to install.

First I unplugged the refrigerator. Then I removed three screws holding the ice maker using a small socket set. The hardest part was unpluggung the connector on the ice maker because of the tight fit. Then I changed the plastic cover and wire rod from the old unit to the new one and reinstalled the ice maker in reverse order. l have done repairs like this before which was good because there were no instructions provided. Reading these repair stories helped remind me how easy it was to do. I had new ice in less than one hour.

threw out the old icemaker, replaced it with the new one. just had to pry off the cap of the housing and plug the original cable to the new assembly - bingo.
I'm happy and proud - saved a large repair-bill :-)

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.

remove old ice maker . replace with new

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!

removed old maker and inserted new one in a matter of minutes. One of the easiest repairs I ever had to make.

Removed the ice tray, and the front cover of the old ice maker. Then removed the two screws on the top, the one on the bottom. Unplugged the electrical plug, then plugged in the new ice maker. Next, screwed in all three screws, replaced the cover, and ice tray. Replaced the "Ice tray full wire" from the old ice maker. Was making ice in about 5 minutes.

Three screws holding the ice maker unit, one quick disconnect wiring harness.
Replacement was simple.

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 followed your video which made the whole repair/replace-
ment simple !
