1061105299 Kenmore Ice Maker - Instructions

Removed old water valve on bottom right back side of fridge installed new one which actually took less work

We followed the video on the KitchenAid website. We turned off water valve at the wall, unplugged the refrigerator, removed the old icemaker by unscrewing the three mounting screws. We unplugged old icemaker from electrical source at back of refrigerator freezer compartment and removed it. We detached the on/off bar from the old icemaker and installed it on the new icemaker. The new icemaker fit perfectly. We plugged in the electric wire to the existing power cord at the back of the refrigerator freezer compartment. We placed the new icemaker in the same position as the old, making sure the mounting screw holes were aligned. Plugged refrigerator back in and turned on the water. Works beautifully.

While it probably could have been remedied with the controller, the cost difference between the controller and the unit made me opt for the entire unit. The fridge is a side by side, which meant in order for me to see the screws I'd need to use a mirror. Once I got the socket on the nut, it wasn't difficult to back out the upper screws. The lower was a bit easier. The power cable however was frozen from years of attachment, and really defied removal. Once removed, the unit came out easily. In my case, the wires had to be removed from the old unit and reinstalled in the new. Not a big deal, but just another step. the issue I had was upon re-installation. The wire harness didn't want to reassemble, and since I could only fit one arm inside, it was difficult to get the connector attached and tightened. I was able to get a pair of channel locks across the connector and get it together. Once that was done I hung the unit back on the upper screws, verifying the fill tube was properly set. I then re-tightened the lower screw. I then turned on the water and it seemed to take a very long time before the unit actually filled with water. It's now been several hours and the ice is starting to once again collect in the bucket.

Ordered new single outlet water valve, received in less than two days. Removed old one, and the repair pretty much feel in place. Instructions were there as a backup. ........ Just curious if the connection from the water source to the valve outlet connection could b a quick connect just the like the water line going directly to the ice maker. Gregg in PA.

Replaced the valve and cleaned all the coils at the same time. The ice maker is spewing out ice. Wife is happy again.

I watched the demo on how to replace the ice marker and it was that simple. I removed three screws and unplugged it from the freezer. The difficult part was removing the wire on, off switch. You must pull it out carefully. It is a sung fit.

3 screws and plugged in the new ice maker. It was slightly difficult to unplug the old ice maker and place the plug in the new ice maker. Still really easy. New ice maker works great!

I replaced the old icemaker with a new one but the problem is still occurring in the new one. It only fill with enough water to make about two ice cubes

Removal was easy...Removing and installing arm was a bit difficult...Called a service man to install...He also had a bit of difficulty, but had it done in less than 45 minutes... He mentioned that my brackets had a different set up than most...

New inlet valve. very easy. Part select was great. I first ordered a new ice maker, this did not fix the problem. Part select allowed me to return it and get the right part. The repair vidio was great.

put arm up to stop icemaker from creating new ice cubes. us nut driver to unscrew 3 of the nuts holding icemaker in place do not completely remove the 2 top screws. lift off the screws and unplug from inside wire connection...make sure water tub is removed and frig unplugged. clean off ice anywhere inside freezer...take out new icemaker and connect wire plug...attach icemaker on to the 2 top screws...use nut driver to tighten into place. add and tighten bottom screw...leave arm down...replace clean and dried water tube into back and make sure it slid into ice maker...tighten screws in back and attatch water hose to tube...plug frid back on slide back into place...will start making ice in an hr or so....

I viewed the video that was provided on partselect.com. The video was very instrumental in the removal and installation of the ice maker. I removed the old ice maker and installed the new ice marker, turn the water valve back on and had ice within 24 hours. When I reconnected the electrics and turned the water supply back on to the ice maker I thought it would fill with water right away, but it didn't. So I determined that the ice maker needed to run though a cycle, which took several hours, before it actually started making ice. With the video I was able to change the ice maker in less than a half an hour.

I undid two top screws and one bottom screw. The tools came out of my cheapo walmart tool kit. I disconnected the power connector. I then put the new Icemaker in and waited for ICE. 12 hours later still no ice. I contacted Parts Select and before I knew it an new Icemaker was ordered and delivered to my doorstep. I received several emails to confirm the refund and re-billing of icemaker. I was absolutly astonished by how well they responded. I figured weeks after the first replacement came in DOA but two days later I had Ice and all was well.

Removed three srews holding the ice maker in place. Unplugged the wiring. Plugged in new ice maker wiring. Installed the new ice maker with the three screws. I left the old wiring in place. Works perfectly.

Unbelievable experience. Ordered on Friday received on Saturday. Removed three nuts with a nutdriver, unplugged the old icemaker, plugged in the new one and replaced the three nuts. I went from order to ice in the bucket in about 24 hours. Thanks
