SLDE25J (P7870137W) Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed water inlet solenoids screws on base and pulled it out about 6 inches; removed 4 tubing nuts. Replaced unit with new and replaced tubing and base. This did not solve the problem so I ordered ice maker unit. Should of checked the inside of the ice maker ias the protective coating was pretty much history so I would ordered it first, and then ordered the inlet valve.

****Make are you order Capacitor & Starter relay too (we ordered separtely so had to pay shipping twice)**** Super easy just open access panel on back near compressor and remove retention clip with fingers, remove & replace both capacitor & starter, put clip and access panel back on, plug in and allow 8 hours to cool! Works like new again! Hope it goes another 10 years

I did not do the repair yet, there is no schematic on how to route the hose; also no description of how to do the routing/connections.

Removed Ice carrier and diassembled the Ice carrier with a socket set. Four screws, cap came right off. Placed the new one on and finished.

Merely remove the front bottom screw that attached the ice maker to the refrigerator
Lift the ice maker gently off of the 2 top screws
Unplug the icemaker wiring harness from the back of the refrigerator, and remove
Snap off the end of the maker and remove the keeper for the wire arm
Remove the wire arm and install on new maker
Unplug the wiring harness from the old maker and plug into the new one
Plug the harness into the refrigerator, slip the new maker over the top screws, with the water feed tube inserted into the maker
Install bottom screw into the bracket that holds it in place.
This took less than 5 minutes.

Removed the top hinge cover with Philips screwdriver. Removed the three bolts holding the top hinge in place. Removed the top hinge, and lifted the door off the remains of the lower hinge. Unbolted the remnants of the lower hinge closure mechanism and replaced it with the new set. Reassembled the door on the lower hinge, and then replaced and bolted back on the top hinge. Door back to full working order in less than fifteen minutes.

Followed the online PartSelect video instructions and it was very helpful. The ice maker has to cycle through before it starts making ice so don't be alarmed when nothing happens when you first hook it up.

I took out 1 screw , unplugged the icemaker and lifted it out and installed the new one and had ice in no time at all. can't get much easier.

On PartSelect.com this part is only associated with the icemaker. It is actually a dual valve... one for the ice maker and one for the water dispenser. Be sure to match the blue and brown colors of the valve housings to the same hose colors.

The really scary part of this job was cleaning up behind and under the fridge, but also something that was long over due and the perfect opportunity to vacuum out the condenser coils.

Removed 7 hex screws holding carboard cover in place, verified water valve was inop. Ordered and recieved new part and installed. Diagnostic and actual repair under 1/2 hour.

I removed the back cover, disconnected the water line from the valve and unplugged the wires. I went to the Parts Select website and entered the info on the part (Plastic, Electrical) and brought up several beautiful pictures that immediately allowed me to identify and order the part without ANY part or model numbers! Wonderful! 3 days later, I installed the part in reverse order and the icemaker works like new again. Thanks for making it so easy!

very easy. removed the old solenoid because it was cracked and spraying water all over the floor. installed the new part, turned on water supply and that was it!! water dispenser in the door works better, it fills a glass faster and the ice maker works better too.

First I removed all the screws from the back cover.
2nd removed fan nut and fan blade
3rd removed fan bracket
4th I traced wire to the condenser and disconnected wires from wire nuts.
Installed existing fan brackets to new motor kit
then reconnected wire nuts to new motor cord
Reinstalled fan nut and blade,
reinstalled cover, plugged it in and BAM .WORKS PERF!

Moved frig away from wall, unpluged and took off lower back panel. Disconnected water line and ice maker lines from water valve (after shutting water off). Removed 2 screws, New valve was exact replacement. With new valve in hand, I removed electrical connecters one at a time and placed them on new valve. Put new valve in place, inserted 2 screws and tightened, Connected water lines, checked for leaks, moved frig back in place, job complete. No more drips, worked perfect. Total time, about 30 min.

Old ice maker leaking water and produced ice cubes with black inclusions. First, I removed old ice maker per video instructions. Transferred electrical cable, cover, and bail to new ice maker. First installation failed because I failed to make sure water tube correctly enter back of ice maker. No ice. Initially thought electrical cable wasn't firmly in place. Then I noticed frozen water dripping down back of freezer. A clue! Removed ice maker and reinstalled making sure water tube went through the hole in back of ice maker. Now the new ice maker works beautifully!
