1064317943 Kenmore Ice Maker - Instructions

Trouble shooted system and determined it to be Icemaker Control and Motor assembly. Removed and replaced assembly, but still would not make ice. Determined it to be the optics. Ordered Electronics Control Boards-Emitter and Receiver and removed and replaced both. Everything works now. Partsselect.com got my parts to me very quickly and their website helped me troubleshoot and select the correct parts.

i am not a mechanic so i tried to follow the video instruction. i am afraid that i am going to break a few parts or not able to put it back so i decided to follow instruction from other customer.
i used a phillip screwdriver removed the 3 screws after i turned off the refrigerator and remove the white cap that cover the motor assembly. the trick is to remove the motor assembly. it took me some times to shake the unit, remove the on and off handle from hole of the unit and carefully with little force pulling and shaking the unit it finally came off the ice maker unit. i placed the new unit by pushing it to the ice maker, replaced the on and off handle back in the motor assmble hole, screw the 3 screws back, cover the unit back, plcae the handle bar down to the on position. plug the refrigerator back and it started making ice after one hours. not quite easy.

my husband just took the motor off the existing maker and decided the front part of the unit was bad, I ordered it and it came in about 3 days he put the new front on it and screwed the unit back in the freezer, was about 4 screws I think. Didnt take too long but I would bet the next time it would be easier. Thank you

Followed the instructional video. It was not exactly like the unit I had but I followed as much as possible. I switched out the motor and within 3 hours had ice.

[side by side unit not freezer over fridge like video].

Placed ice maker control switch to OFF position. Removed wiring connection cover from ice maker. Disconnected wiring harness from ice maker. Removed old ice maker control and motor by removing motor cover and three screws. Installed new ice maker control and motor with the three screws and cover. Reconnected wiring harness and wiring connection cover. Placed ice maker control switch back to ON position.

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

We had to take the cover off, remove screws, take off old control and replace items in reverse order. We had the arm in the wrong position at first and it raised the arm and shut off. We redid the position of the arm and everything has been fine since.

I removed three screws holding unit to the freezer wall. Disconnected power cable. Removed three screws in motor assembly. Detached the old motor assembly. Attached new assembly with same three screws. Re-mounted unit to the freezer wall and re-connected power. One hour later, I had ice again.

Installed new motor control assembly, simple 6 screw remove and replace. Really a no brainer.
