1200 - Instructions

Remember the bolt holding U piece is reverse screw off.

Removed the 3 screws that hold the ice maker in place and remove the cover and level wire. Put the cover and wire on new part and install the 3 screws. Had ice within 1 hour. A very easy job for the do it yourselfer. Suspect the heat coil that melts the cubes was not working in the old unit and cubes stayed in the tray.

No tool required! Pulled out tray, emptied ice into large bowl for reuse. Pushed in and pulled from inside the coil springed auger until could get old plastic ring off and put new one on.

Needs a little physical strenth & care not to force plastic housing to breaking point. Worked great reused saved ice. Took less than 10 minutes

This was the third icemaker replaced since January 1999. Improvement need to be made in the design of the icemaker so that more than 2-3 years of life is available.
The most difficult part was disconnecting the power plug in the back of the icemaker. You must squeeze the upper and lower tabs together and pull out at the same t ... Read more ime to disconnect. Once this is done, take out one nut head screw, lift up on the icemaker and remove from the hanger. Be careful that you don't break the plastic tabs on the hangers. Replace new icemaker in reverse, feed water supply where it must go in the back, resnap onto hangers, replace the nut head screw and snap in the power plug. It took about 2 hours before the icemaker began making ice. It has been working fine ever since. PS. I saved about $200.00 over having a repairman come in and replace the unit.

I removed the broken ice bucket support enclosure using the nut driver and screw driver. The new part had to have the ice bucket motor attached. The metal piece that attaches to the motor shaft had to first be removed, which was somewhat difficult (careful! the thread is reversed). The motor and spring assebly had to be re-attached to ...

This repair was relatively easy.

My freezer started acting up in 2 ways. They were separate problems, so I'll describe them seperately.

#1 - The Ice Maker started leaking. This was pretty straight forward. When we turned the ice maker on, eventually after a couple hours icicles would start to form near the front. I bought a replacement Ice Maker, and fixing th ... Read more is was incredibly easy. There's a video about it on this website, and after following it exactly, the new replacement was in and working very quickly.

#2 - This refrigerator must've been quite old. The next problem was the enclosure which holds onto the Augur Drive Motor. The plastic and the 4 screws that hold onto the motor all rusted off, making the motor basically fall backwards becoming completely useless. It's too bad there's no video on how to replace this part, because there's more moving parts with this one. Here are the steps I had to take to replace the enclosure:

1. First I had to remove the Enclosure Divider (PS107595). Push right to remove the 2 grips at the top, then pull back then up to remove it.
2. Unscrew the enclosure using a socket or nutdriver
3. (1st hard step) unplug the motor from the back of the fridge. This is hard because the cord is relatively short, and the enclosure takes up a lot of space. Remember to turn off the power before doing this step!
4. Unscrew all the machine parts from the enclosure (Augur Motor, Solenoid, Yoke, etc...) This was actually quite difficult because a couple of screws were placed on extremely tight. We basically had to break the old enclosure into little pieces before we could unscrew everything. The last screw actually needed to be undone using vice grips. That's how tight they were
5. In order to place the Augur Motor on the new enclosure, you have to remove the engagement yoke from it. This also was tightened on too tight. I had to use vice grips to hold the base still while hitting the yoke hard with a hammer to get it loose. It only came lose after maybe 1 hour of failed attempts. I supposed patience paid off on this one. If it doesn't come off, just give it a few tries every few hours so you come at it with a clear head.
6. Attached all the components to the new enclosure
7. Reattached the engagement yoke back onto the Augur Motor (give it a light tap with a hammer or screw driver so it's fastened well... not TOO much though!)
8. Plug the motor back into the fridge, place the enclosure back into the freezer, then put the divider back in

The parts that were difficult for me were:
- Screws were WAY too tight. My dad thinks they might've used glue to make sure they're fastened on tight. Don't do this! It only makes maintenance in the future difficult
- The engagement yoke was also on too tight. This might actually be from turning ice this whole time, but it's also possible someone overdid it or used glue here too. Don't overdo it when replacing the parts!
- Lastly, and I didn't mention this in the instructions, but in order to get the solenoid off the old enclosure, I had to unplug everything so I could safely smash the old enclosure to pieces to get at it. When I did this, I forgot to take pictures of what plugs go where. When it came time to put it back together, I *think* the wires are in the right place now. The machine works, but hopefully I didn't put everything in backwards. Take photos of how wires are plugged in before you unplug them!!

First turned off the water and unplugged the refrigerator and then removed the old ice maker by first removing the side cover plate and then next removed the ice level detector. Remove the screws that hold the ice maker in place and rotating it somewhat soas to gain access to the wires and then unplugged them. Next I had to modify the way ...

The ice enclosure was broken where the element is attached to the enclosure. There was some ice buildup in the ice bin and looks as if the auger got bound up and twisted the element attachment until it broke the housing of the enclosure. We got on line and fround the part at PartSelect. The selection process was very easy since PartSel ... Read more ect had all the parts pictured and described. We ordered the part first thing on a Monday morning and received the part Tuesday morning. We are very inpressed with the company and the fast service in receiving the part. Thank you. If the need arises we will order from you again and recommend you to friends.

I removed the old ice maker and during the short disassembly noticed a burned out connection to the heater element that allows the ice to be broken free of the tray and dumped into the bin. Part Select had a new unit to me next day! I had watched their short install video, and read some of the user comments, already. Re-installing the n ... Read more ew unit was a snap, and just as the video had described except for the mount bracket. The only thing that concerned me was that the new unit did not immediately do anything. I began to investigate and found that the flexible water "chute" connection had ice in it! I unplugged the refer, unscrewed the water filter and drained it. I disconnected the water feed on the outside back of the unit as well to make sure water could flow easily to the ice maker port. I filled the water filter with boiling hot water and replaced it, I plugged in the refer, and reprogrammed the date and time. Several hours later I checked the ice maker and it was -- making ice!

Pull refrigerator out from wall to shut off water and power. Remove ice bin, pulling front down then out.
