HMG67184 Admiral Refrigerator - Instructions

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.

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.

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

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.

Changing the ice maker was easy as per video instructions. I did not shut down power during replacement. The new unit started making ice within an hour or so, however, the next morning, liquids on the refrigerator top shelf were freezing up! I lowered the frig temp set point one number, but the top shelf continued to freeze. My son had had a similar experience, and he suggested turning power off to the unit for several minutes. I turned off the breaker for about 15 minutes, then back on. The top shelf freezing problem cleared up, and everything started working like it should!

Exact replacement. . . . Ice!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I watched the repair video on PartSelect.com which made the repair very simple. I just removed one nut with a 1/4" nut driver, detached the unit from the clips mounted on the side of the freezer compartment and disconnected the wiring harness. Once the unit was removed I disconnected the wiring harness and the bail from the old unit and installed them onto the new ice maker. It took a couple of tries to snap the new unit into the clips on the side of the freezer compartment but after this was accomplished I connected the wiring harness and installed the mounting screw. Then I place the bail in the on position (down) and about an hour later I had ice.

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.

Repair was fairly straight-forward. First removed the ice cube receptacle and the glass rack for access to the ice maker. Loosened two hex head screws at the top of the rear plate of the ice maker (do not remove completely), and removed one hex head screw at the bottom of the rear mounting plate of the ice maker. After removing the bottom screw, lifted the ice maker off the two top screws. The only real difficulty was positioning the unit so as to be able to unplug the wiring harness from the rear left side of the ice maker. This turned out to be a awkward, but a little manouvering allowed access to the harness receptacle. A metal clip at the rear of the icemaker clips over the insulation of one of the wires in the wiring harness. Remove the clip from the wire before attempting to remove the icemaker. The wiring harness was too short to allow access to the release tab at the top of the harness connector, so the tab had to be worked loose with a screwdriver from the front of the receptacle. If you take this approach, make sure power has been turned off to the refrigerator to avoid an electrical accident. A probe with a short right-angle tip would release the tab without resorting to inserting a screwdriver into the receptacle. Remove the old unit and set aside. -- Compare the replacement icemaker with the original to determine whether any brackets, clips, wire bails, etc. must be transferred to the new unit. In this case, only the wire bail that gages depth of ice in the ice receptacle had to be transferred. Water entered the old unit through a cutout in the back of the cube-shaped plastic piece at the right side of the icemaker. The new unit had a pre-molded opening in the right side of the cube for water entry. Three score marks were provided in the rear wall of the cube to convert the new unit to rear water entry. Using a box knife, the rear of the plastic cube on the new unit was opened along the score marks. The extra opening in the side does not seem to cause any leakage problem. Installation of the new unit is the reverse of disassembly. Insert the wiring harness plug into the receptacle at the rear of the new icemaker. The plug should only engage the receptacle in the right orientation due to the latching tab and notch on the plug and receptacle. Press the plug into the receptacle until the latching tab is engaged. Place the wire clip at the lower rear of the unit (transfer the clip from the old unit if necessary) over the wire the clip was originally removed from and press firmly to seat the clip on the wire. Reorient the back side of the icemaker toward the mounting screws in the rear wall of the freezer compartment. Place the two slotted holes in the rear of the new unit over the screws in the back of the freezer compartment and press down to engage the screws. Replace the third screw in the lower mounting flange of the new icemaker. Tighten all three self-threading screws, being careful to not strip out the holes in the freezer wall. Replace the ice receptacle and the glass rack (if equipped) and unit is ready to use. Dispose of the first couple of ice dumps to insure any debris has been flushed out of the new icemaker.

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

got the icemaker in 3 days, installed in less than 15 minutes, nothing happened-so I thought it must be the water distribution valve-I looked up the part and it is very similar to a valve I had purchased for our Maytag refrigerator-freezer at our lake cabin that I hadn't used-drove 20 miles roundtrip, after locating the valve and preparing to shut off all the water to the house (since the icemaker shutoff is in crawlspace). My dear wife suggested that I might want to check the icemaker first to be sure it hadn't started on its own-Idid, and it had-has been working without fail since then. Just needed some patience which I always seem to have in short supply!
