106653522 Kenmore Ice Maker - Instructions

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.

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.

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

First I removed one screw that hold the element in place, lifted element about half an inch. I then pulled the element out about 2-3 inches and disconnected the wire. Then replaced two clips on top of element and re-connected the wire, put screw back and VUALYA....done!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Removed bottem screw and loosened two top screws. Removed icemaker from support screws and disengaged cable. Replaced in reverse order. Total time was about 15 minutes.

Great DIY experience. Ordering the part was easy and delivery was very fast. Simple installation and had my first cubes in apprximately 15 minutes.

. . . thanks!

Turn off water, removed two mounting screws, unplugged solenoid, removed incoming water connection and plastic pipe to ice maker. Installed new valve, connected water lines, reconnected plug, remounted with screws. Turned water back on, over rode power to ice maker and checked for leaks. Total time about 5 minutes. Very easy repair.

Easy removel: remove one screw and loosen two others; unplug connector; swap actuator bar; replace

I took out the bottom locking screw and loosened the top two screws. I took the old icemaker out. I disconnected the wiring harness at the ice maker. I attached the new icemaker and mounted it in place. I didn't have to use any of the included wiring harnesses since the old one worked fine. I did use the old wire bale. I'm fairly ungifted in fixing things so I was amazed at how easy and inexpensive this was. The icemaker started up right away. The whole thing probably cost less that just the service call minimum would have been.

Removing the hex screws from the existing unit was trouble until I found the screwdriver attachment to the hex wrench. The MOLEX type power connector was an exact match for what was on the unit, so the conversion cables were not needed. Unit worked fine. No more leaks.

Removed the old ice maker and replaced with new.

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...

The old water valve leak required me to purchase this new complete part. After shutting off the water supply, disconnect the supply line, take out the old water valve by disconnecting the "plug" from the refrigerator, and disconnect the plastic water line going into the ice maker. Then just reconnect the new water valve by plugging it into the 2 pronged receptacle, note to be sure to write down which wire goes into which input when disconnecting the old valve. Then hand tighten the plastic tube into the valve. Next attach your water supply line into the new water valve, tighten this supply line as you would any plumbing supply line with a couple of adjustable wrenches and some teflon tape at the connection. I would also recommend at this point, if the compression fitting on your supply line was like mine a bit old, to spend a couple bucks on a new fitting and put that on the supply line, since you don't want to worry about it being a good seal at the supply line point, once the repair is done. After checking for "no leaks" reattach everything to the rear of the refrigerator (make a note of the attachment before taking out the old valve) and see if your ice maker starts to make some ice. You will hear the valve feeding the water to the icemaker if all is properly setup.

I ordered the replacement ice maker on a Saturday, received it on the next Tuesday, and in stalled it in a little over 15 minutes. Very quick, very easy. Partselect.com was easy to use and exceeded my expectations on every issue. Thanks.

Very simple repair. Ice maker was operating, but not receiving water. Once new valve was in place it works like new.

added lowering clips to brackets, plugged it in,
hung on sidewall. Plug in power, turned water on,
had ice in an hour. The written directions could be a little more detailed..I am very satisfied with the ease of installation.
