SBDE520SW-P1185201WW Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

Very easy repair just follow the instructions provided here

Ordered the replacement. Removed the old one, followed the instructions, installation was a snap.

Replacing the auger assembly was easy. Unfortunately it did not fix the problem, which was a weak auger motor. The motor would not turn the auger when a piece of ice would go into the area where the blades push it out. It would instead stop the motor and make it screech. This happened with every third piece of ice. Replacing the motor, which I bought elsewhere (couldn't find on this site) fixed the problem.

I changed out the ice wheel inside the ice bucket. Jack

I removed 2 screws and lifted out the old part and replaced it with the new one, I am 79 years old and it only took about 25 minutes to have ice cubes again.

I was very pleased with the entire experience. The part was easy to locate on the web site, it arrived very quickly and you sent a how-to video.

Looked up issue on the internet and found that other folks had the same problem and said it was probably the compressor starter. This is actually two parts, a capacitor and a capacitor relay. Wasn't sure which was causing the problem so made sure I ordered the part number which inscluded both. One plugs into the other. Easy enough to just unplug the parts from the side of the compressor. Plugged in the new parts and compressor kicked on. Evrything working as normal. No one locally had parts in stock so overnighted from Partselect.

The problem had occurred twice before and the metal auger could no longer be reliably forced back into alignment with its end cap. It was time for a replacement. I opted to replace the entire auger assembly including the crusher blade - a total of three individual parts in this assembly. With the Amana model and serial number in hand, I logged into PartSelect and found the ice maker part(s) in the fridge schematic diagram. I ordered the assembly which arrived early. It is easy to disassemble. Remove the ice drawer from the freezer, minus the ice, and place it upside down on a work surface. You only have to remove four screws; the two on the front bottom of the ice drawer and the two screws holding the little L-shaped brackets that receive those two bottom screws. Tip: To avoid any confusion during reassembly, just take a picture of each step of your disassembly. You can do it Noonan.

followed the video as instructed. Saved two repairman calls, one to find the problem, one to install. Net savings was about $130.00

Replaced cold water dispenser reservoir. Removed back access panel on bottom of refridgerator. Cut hoses using a wire cutter and removed old reservoir. Installed new unit (one screw). Routed hoses through bottom of refridgerator. Cut length to allow hose splicing just beneath resevoir. Connected hoses using hose splicers provided with the part. Musty taste is better if a couple glasses of water are run through the unit before drinking each time. Previously the water never got better. I think more hoses need to be replaced in the door to fully solve the problem. Repair took less than 30 minutes.

There were 23 parts to be removed in order to replace part. So I printed out a diagram of the parts off the computer and the labled each part on the diagram with its name. I laid them all out in order and patiently re-assembled the ice maker. When finished, I gave a cheer!
