1068650 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

3 Years ago our icemaker stopped working and we paid a professional $225.00 to come and repair. This time I chose to investigate the problem on line and PartSelect website gave me info on the motor assembly that may be the problem. Sure enough I purchased the part, it was delivered in two days. My husband installed the control & motor assembly in less than 15 minutes. We had ice within hours. Thanks for saving us a service call and the expense. The Goldbergs

turned water off to ice maker unpluged fridg while doing repair which was such short time everything was ok removed 3 1/4 hex screws holding ice maker in position while holding ice maker in hand unpluged wiring connection for it removed old ice mold which coating had come off of which was very simple 2 philips screws which are recessed on control unit then gently wiggle assembly apart paying attention to how all the tray parts went together then reinstalling same way as they were remove very simple repair anyone should be able to do

I determined that the plastic lever inside the icemaker was broken and I found the part easaly. It was farelly inexpensive considering the important job the ice maker does, so I order it and paid for the standard, 5-8 days delivery. To my surprise, it was delivered (to my neighbors house thanks to the delivery person) the next day. Once Berry the neighbor delivered it to my house, 15 minutes later ice was being made. I had to remove one screw and losen two on top of the icemaker, disconnect power and remove the icemaker. I don't think that this step was even required but I wanted to remove all of the old ice from the maker without thawing out the freezer. Replacing the part itself also required removal of three screws. I think that almost anyone can do this easily (with or without Berry).

remove the wiring cover, pulled out the ice maker shelf, unpluged the wiring. Once out I removed the control module cover and remove 3 screws and pulled out the old control module. I pushed on the new control module and reattached the 3 screws, attached the module cover and plugged wiring in, slide back into the freezer track, installed wiring cover and screw- 15 minuits tops

Followed video lnstructions which were very good. Have used your web site in the past and will continue to purchase products. Thanks.

My ice maker just stopped filling with water one day and after some troubleshooting, I found that a chunk of ice had built up in the tube between the water supply line and freezer. I took the ice maker out (Don't touch the heating element...it really hurts) and defrosted the ice obstruction by injecting hot water into the tube to melt the ice. I used a new plastic syringe you get with an infant over the counter drug and a bucket to catch the water. I noticed the ice cube mold was peeling and decided to replace the mold. The mold is an easy replacement as long as you remember how you took it apart. My mold had some glue or compound stuck to the side that kept me from getting the mold flush against the motor assembly housing so I had to uncrew and scrape that gunk off and reattached. Other than that, there was nothing to it. Now the ice maker is good for another 8 years.

sears wanted $450 to replace ice maker or $400 for refubished. I ordered a $60 motor/control unit from parts select. Remove ice maker, remove motor cover, three screws replace and ice within the hour.

I unpacked the motor and looked at how it was supposed to go in. I removed on screw in the right rear of the ice maker. Pushed a tab on the left of the ice maker. Removed the entire assembly and unhooked the electrical part of the ice make. unscrewed the three screws holding the motor in place and replaced the motor. Put everything in back together and in 15 minutes the familar sound of the ice maker could be heard.

Removed icemaker by first removing the nutscrew that holds the cover to the electrical connection in place. Next, I removed the door then slid the icemaker out and diconnected the electrical connector. With the icemaker out, I R&R'ed the motor assy , reconnected the electrical, and slid the icemaker back in place. Next, I replaced the door, turned the icemaker switch on and waited. In about 30 minutes I heard the water being injected into the icemaker, and soon there was ice. The repair was easy and inexpensive. Tx to Partselect which I found on Google.

There was three screws to remove to unmout the ice maker, and unplug the wire harness,then two to remove to slip in new stripper. All took about 20 mins.

It took both me and my wife! One of the new parts we recieved was broke so we took the part off of the one that didn't work.

Unplug the fridge. Used the screw driver to remove the motor. Easy. Now putting the new one in was difficult because it has to line up exactly.
Thats what took 15 minutes but after me and my wife worked on it, we had a bucket of ice by morning!
We only knew how to do what we did because of reading these messages on this site. It came with no directions.

After removing the ice maker, I guessed that the moter could be the problem,bought new part I installed it and held my breath.thankfully that was it.thanks to parts select I saved a lot of money doing it myself.

unpluged the refrigerator, remove three screws holding ice maker in place, disconnected wire clip, removed front of icemaker by relaesing two clips holding it in place. the module and motor assembly are held in place with three screws. put the icemaker together and replaced it in freezer, and pluged the cord back in. the icemaker started making ice in about 15 minutes. very easy fix

I took the front panel off the ice maker. Found the contacts on control board were burnt. I called Partselect, told them my model # and they directed me to a new control panel. 4 screws later I had part back on and ice makin.
Thanks Partselect!

My husband is a plumber...but did not have time to make the repair. So I took it upon myself!

Super Easy!

1. Unplugged Fridge
2. Unscrewed the 3 screws on motor
3. Pulled out old motor
3. Had to pour some hot water to melt ice cubes that were currently in the shoot. (because the new part would not line up correctly because of the frozen cubes inside the maker). Then soaked up all the water with towels.
4. Inserted the new motor
5. Put 3 screws back in.

ICE, ICE BABY! Within a couple hours it was dropping ice into the bucket! Husband came home, and I told him I fixed the ice maker (his expression was of dread)...and then he checked it out and all was perfect! So proud!
