Removed 4 screws, pulled unit out of slots, unpluged control wires plug and removed from fridg. Removed 3 screws that hold the motor module to unit. Then reversed procedure and had the batch of ice cubes one hour and fifteen minutes from the time I started replacement.

Pulled off plastic cover on motor, removed 3 screws and removed old motor. installed new motor making sure control arm lined up in slot. be sure to disconnect power before doing this job !!!

removed front cover installed gearbox then attached lift arm plugged in frig turned on h2o and now i have plenty of ice ! ordered part on Saturday got part on monday in the mail and had ice by supper what a great place to shop and the service was great and parts made easy to find on the website. thank you very much! I will refer your business to all my friends.

replaced moduale, work just like new.

I ordered the part and just 1 1/2 days later, it arrived! Awesome!

I took the cover off the ice maker motor. Then I simply unscrewed the three screws holding the motor in place (be VERY careful - the hinge mechanism that holds the ice maker on/off bar needs to be gently removed from the motor so the prongs do not break).

Once the motor and ice maker hinge were removed, I simply pushed the new motor on, screwed all three screws back in, put the cover back over the motor, pushed the bar to 'on' and water flowed and ice was made! I turned it to Max so I would have lots of ice in a short amount of time then returned the switch to Normal and I've not had a problem since.

I removed the two screws that hold the ice maker door. I then removed the single screw on the right underside of the ice maker. I depressed the plastic "catch" on the left underside of the assembly and the whole thing just pulled straight out. I then disconnected the wire harness.

The module cover is removed, then the module itself is easily removed by removing three screws.
The assembly is just as easy.

A few hours later, I had a half bucket of ice!

First I replaced the thermostat. (from this company.) Same thing happened. Then I thought the ice heater has too low voltage and does not melt it for extraction. So, I put a short on the relay on the beam receiver board. No difference. Then completely disassembled the ice maker, and discovered the shaft cracked on the plastic gear, which rotates the ice extractor. So, I ordered and received this control assembly. Put together the unit and having ice again. Due to the cracked gear the thing was out of timing. This gear drives the contactor for letting water in, freezing time, heating the ice, (so it slides out easily), etc

The first thing I would like to say is thank you Parts select for a very fast delivery. It was within 24 hours I received my component. The installation went very well. The main thing is to take each part off the old mold, one at a time and install it onto the new mold. Make sure to look at each part as it is mounted to the old mold and re install them the exact same way. Just be gentle with some of the plastic pieces because they are fragile in certain areas. It will take a few hours for everything to start working properly. Thanks again Parts select. Good luck and God Bless.

Removal of the Ice Maker required the removal of only one screw from underneath the maker and the power connector disconnect. Dis-assembly was straight forward. Remove old tray and heater, and reassemble with new tray and heater unit. Reinstall Ice Maker! Special Note: Allow the Ice Maker time to cycle through it's sequences. It may take a period of time before it starts producing ice after re-installation.

Went very easy, watched the video from the web site and did what it showed to do and put it together and it worked.We now have ice.

replaced icemaker motor.easy peasy

Remove the ice maker with two screws in the side and one screw in the bottom. You don't have to completely remove the side screws but you do have to remove the bottom screw.
Lift up on the ice maker and reach behind it and unplug the wiring harness. The tube that lets the water in is accessible from the rear of the fridge. Remone the water line, its only finger tight, and remove the two screws. Pull the tube up and out. Thaw it out with hot water and reinstall. With the ice maker out and on the table, pop off the front cover. Remove two phillips head screws and slide the cube tray off. watch how everything is placed before you slide it off. Slide on the new tray and reinstall all screws. Reassemble in reverse order that you took it out. Your ready to make ice...

I followed the instructions that were given online by Kitchenaide. The ice maker came out really easy. Took 3 screws out set the new motor assembly in put the screws back in and reconnected the wiring harness. the unit slide back in easy. Works great!!
