This repair was so easy I can not believe I waited so long to do it. What was I thinking?

I actually went on your website and used the do it yourself repair video as a step by step guide to complete the repair. It was as easy in real life as it was presented on the video. I will use this website to buy and repair future issues I may face with my appiances.

replaced Icemaker Control and Motor Assembly

I didn't, the young man who does all my maintenance work did it. He's super and can do anything. Thanks for making the repairs so simple, not having to pay the going service charge....I paid my Jim $25 compared to probably $65 by a service person.

Disconnect power cord turn off water supply. Remove four screws on bottom of ice maker unit.Then look for locking clips on bottom of @ near supports and remove unit sliding & cocking until you can turn motor toward you cord is just long enough pry motor control off with hand or flat blade screw driver buy pressing on side edges.Remove motor from unit by removing three screws & pull out of plug on one corner. [side by side unit not freezer over fridge like video].

After determining that the gear on the motor assembly had broken off, I ordered from this website. First time using Partselect, and will now always check and hopefully order here first. Repair was very easy. Pulled the old assembly off by taking out three screws, removed the broken assembly, put the new one on, replaced the three screws, and installed the icemaker back into the freezer. Took a about 30 min total. Came back in about an hour and had ice!

No ice means motor and assembly 60% of the time. The hard thing was to unplug the wire plug to the refrigerator from the icemaker and to reconnect it. Its fixed for another ten years. Ez

After reading solutions to my problem on your website I ordered the part which fixes 50% of the problems. When I got back after Christmas the part had arrived. I removed the Icemaker and replaced the part. It took aprox. 20 minutes for the job. It was easy. Now we have ice cubes again.

easy as pie everthing good thanks

My husband had taken the ice maker out and deceide which part we would need to fix the maker. your online parts list made this possible. The service you provide was most helpful. The shippment got it to us in record time.

followed instructions from Partselect on- line video.

Pried out ice blade bar and removed broken water fill cup and replaced with new one.The whole repair costs $9.52 So I saved $ 190 over the cost of Appliance man visit!
It would have been $150& $50 for visit to replace ice maker unit.

Initially, I took the ice make out of the refrigerator. It required removing two screws in the service door and one on the right side under the ice maker to remove a plastic cover for the wiring. There are plastic retainers under the left and right sides of the ice maker that must be pressed to release them so the ice maker can be removed. I had to unplug the wiring at the upper right of the ice maker (the plug has clip that you can slide a small screw driver into to release it and pull the plug apart). Once the ice maker was out I removed the white cover on the left side and it exposed the module. I found the shaft that holds the gear was broken. When the part arrive, I removed the existing module (three screws) and installed the new module. I reversed the ice maker removal process.
