Ice maker stopped working
This was an easy fix. The first thing you need to do is shut off the water to the ice maker. Then unplug refrigerator. Then take the panels off the back of the refrigerator to get to the water valve. The valve is at the bottom left hand corner. Take the inlet hose off and the outer hose off of the valve. Take the screws out to remove the valve from the panel. Replace the valve with the new one and hook up the hoses again. Make sure to tighten securely so that you do not have any leaks. Put everything back together and plug refrigerator in. Turn on water slowly and check for leaks. If no leaks, push refrigerator back and wait for the ice to begin. Piece of cake!!

Broken ice cubes/spillage
Turn off water supply. Unplug the refridgerator and move so easy access to back. Remember to lower front right wheel to lift rubber foot off ground. Locate valve and remove, note color orientation of wiring (I did not have to remove cardboard cover.) Have a bucket and towel handy because water will spill. Compare the valves to ensure correct part. Apply teflon tape to threads and reconnect hoses and turn on water supply to check for leaks. Then connect power supply and re-attach to refridgerator. Use vac to clean back of refridgerator of dust and build up. Move refridgerator into position and raise front right wheel until rubber foot is back on floor. Use vac to clean coils in the front of the refridgerator. Replace grill. I allowed 4 batches to run before using ice. Pretty simple repair.

Was not getting water to the icemaker.
Removed old water inlet valve and replaced same with the new one. Installation was easy, parts came quickly, and I now have ice cubes again. Thanks for your help.

water inlet valve
real easy to install and it works fine. However, the problem was more complicated. The circuitry on the ice maker on the back side of where the gear that rotates the harvesting fingers had places that were not making contact. I took a dart, yes, a dart from my dartboard and pressed the copper contacts down so they made contact and all appears to be well. Well at least until tomorrow. yikes.

Bulb Replacement
I pulled down the wire around the glass cover. . . Released on end of the wire from its holder being careful to not let the glass cover drop. Unscrewed the bulb and replaced with replacement. Easy, easy.

The ice making got slow.I replace the ice maker in December 2012 and it marginally until it stoped completely January 2014.
The Amana You Tube video explained and demonstrated how to isolate the problem. After finding the problem I ordered the Water Valve on a Sunday and I installed it Tuesday morning in about ten minutes.
