106978 Kenmore Ice Maker - Instructions

three screws and a plug in and it was done!

The icemaker was an exact duplicate of the one in my refrigerator. I installed the correct shutoff bar on the icemaker and removed the tab for the water fill spout.

I removed one screw from lower portion of unit and loosened 2 top screws. Lifted unit to slide off top screws and unplugged unit. Plugged in unit and positioned unit on 2 top screws. Installed bottom screw and tightened top 2 screws. Repair complete.

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.

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.

replaced the element as described. it worked for 2 cycles and flooded the capture tray. I thought it may be an issue with the water supply line so I replace it and insured it was getting a good feed.
I have now shut the unit down and restating it . thank you for your concern. Any tips would be appreciated.

Replaced ice maker with new one but found it was not the ice maker at all. There was an accumulation of ice in the duct inhibiting the flow of cld air to the ice maker. I cleared the ic build up in the duct and it has been working just fine. But am concerned about make up water leaking into the duct.

replaced ice maker works great thanks
