IC4N (P1110801W) Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

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".

Used new icemaker assembly removing the existing
wiring harness from old unit and using it in the new
assembly unit. All in all very easy.

I first turned off the power to the freezer before the install and made sure to remove the ice tray. I used the box the ice maker was shipped in to keep the old unit propped up as I was unscrewing it. I first unscrewed the single bracket screw below the teeth, then put in the box and unscrewed the two top screws. Be sure to use a long head screwdriver so you can work from the outside of the freezer. Also, don't expect the unit to make ice immediately, it takes about 30 min to an hour to cycle and start to make the ice.

Pried out ice blade bar and removed broken water fill cup and replaced with new one.The whole repair costs $9.52 So I saved $ 190 over the cost of Appliance man visit!
It would have been $150& $50 for visit to replace ice maker unit.

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

I originally replaced the inlet valve--it was cheaper. It did not solve my problem. So I ordered the icemaker for my Amana side-by-side; it came the next day! Remove ice bucket, unplug electric, even left the water on. Remove 3 screws holding the old icemaker in. The wiring harness on my fridge was too short to allow me to remove the plug from the old icemaker, so I had to remove the metal mounting plate behind the icemaker to allow me to have enough slack to turn the icemaker and depress the projection on the plug while pulling it from the socket. The icemaker comes right out then. Took off the bail and installed it on the new one. The left side is the important one that engages the mechanism while the right side is just a slave or tender that holds it in position. Plug the wiring harness plug into the new icemaker (be sure to get it in right side up and fully engage the projection on the plug into the hole on the side of the socket--that keeps it from ever working out from vibration or unintended or accidental manipulation. Place the old icemaker end cap over the new icemaker end to shield the mechanism on the left side. Remount the mounting plate to the sides of the freezer with the original 4 screws. I suggest putting a paper or something underneath your work--it is tight quarters and screws are easy to drop. A magnetic nutdriver might help here. Tighten the 4 screws, tuck the wiring harness up under the metal clip (that keeps it up and out of the way of future accidental injury or dislodging). Then use the nut driver to place the 3 original screws which hold the icemaker to the mounting plate. Start all 3, then assess for level mounting before you tighten them--a crooked or unlevel mount job will be inefficient and yield irregular ice cubes. Reinstall the ice bucket and lower the bail which detects the need for more ice and starts the process. Plug the electric back in and turn the water back on (if you shut it off). I had the first cubes in a couple of hours. It will take a while for the cycle to start, so don't worry if you don't have water flowing into the tray right away.

The disassembly was fairly easy. Just remove the three screws with a 1/4 inch nutdriver. There are two above and one below the icemaker assembly. Then disconnect the power wiring harness from the back of the motor/timer assembly.
Re-installation is just the reverse and is made much easier if you can remember where you put the screws after waiting a day or two for the replacement to arrive!

Removed one screw that held the unit in place. Took a few minutes to determine how to disengage the unit from the plastic clips. The most difficult part was disconnecting the electrical cable.but in less than 30 minutes the new unit was in place and filled with water to start forming ice.

First, I read about 15 descriptions of this repair on your web site. Then I carefully attempted the job. I found that, as others said, the most difficult part of the replacement was the electrical connection, both unplugging and plugging it back in to the replacement part. The icemaker did not seem to function at first, so I removed the part and made sure I had fully inserted the plug into the receptacle. This took far less time than the initial removal and replacement. It began to work fine, and is really an easy job- just makes a person nervous w/o directions, etc.

I just removed the bottom screw, then the top 2 screws on the ice maker after shutting off the water line and unplugging the refrigerator first. The ice maker was gently allowed to lay down as i unplugged the wiring harness on the inside back of the freezer. I took the wiring harness off the broken unit by pushing the little tab down and gently pulling the harness plug. Of course, you have to get the cover off first, gently using a screw driver to get the cover past the tabs. Then just plug the old wiring harness into the new one. The most difficult part is laying down on the floor and plugging the wiring harnes back in and getting the ice maker screwed back in. My new icemaker had a bent angle connector so I had to use the old one so the hole would line up. Also, a flashlight is helpful since the refrigerator is unplugged. Also, I put my ice cream in a picnic cooler with the old ice, in case it took longer than I thought it would. Really, though, anyone who can lay on the floor and is used to taking things apart and putting them back together will find this pretty easy and take less than a half hour.

Followed the video and in less than thirty minutes the new icemaker was installed and in under an hour we had ice!

Had I not confused the old ice maker with the new one and tried to reinstall the old ice again I would have been done in less than 15 minutes. The instructions were clear and helpful, the parts all fit and it went right in. It worked within a few minutes and has been perfect since. Thanks

Followed the tutorial on the site and it was spot on. had the same problem as most- dirt in the ice, and then it stopped altogether. was well worth the $100 for the info/parts. would do it again in a second

found instructions at all parts.com website and was able to do it. Has to send part back because bracket was out of shape and promptly received another part in a few days and received a refund for the broken part,Great service thank you
