7678894150 Kenmore Ice Maker - Instructions

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.

I removed the ice maker, saw the problem, took the ice maker apart and ordered a new mold. I reassembled it with the new mold and it now makes ice but the control arm remains up after each ice dump. I plan to take the ice maker back out when we leave (we are snow birds in Florida) and see if the arm is properly placed.

Replaced control and motor assembly ordered from you and unit started working.

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.

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.

Repair was easy and the video on PartSelect was spot on. Basically you take the unit out of the freezer, undo three screws, take out the old motor assembly and put in the new one, replace the screws, and put back in the freezer. Simple.

I actually went on your website and used the do it yourself repair video as a step by step guide to complete the repair. It was as easy in real life as it was presented on the video. I will use this website to buy and repair future issues I may face with my appiances.

My son's ice maker quit over 5 yrs ago. Repairman told him he would need whole unit.
I keep trying to fine the "whole unit". I finally wnet on to the part list and decided
it was probably the Modue assembly. I odereded it and guess what!!!! That was it....a $66 part!
It is working fine now!!

This is the 4th motor on this ice maker. Sears replaced the original motor at a cost of >$300 and this is the 2nd motor I have replaced at a cost <$70.
Repair is quite easy since this was the As described on your site, simply remove the door flap, remove the covering for the wiring, remove 3 hex nuts under the floor of the unit and the entire ice maker slides out. After disconneting the wires, you simply slide the cover from the motor, remove 3 philips screws and slide the old motor out.
Align the new motor, slide in, replace 3 philips and reverse the process to place the ice maker and hex nuts.
Was "back in ice" within an hour or so.
Thanks for the instructions and video and for making the parts affordable for do-it-yourselfers!

a ice cube got hung up burnt motor up.trimed plastic away from water tray.restalled new unit.works great now.thanks for your help.phillip

Initially, I took the ice make out of the refrigerator. It required removing two screws in the service door and one on the right side under the ice maker to remove a plastic cover for the wiring. There are plastic retainers under the left and right sides of the ice maker that must be pressed to release them so the ice maker can be removed. I had to unplug the wiring at the upper right of the ice maker (the plug has clip that you can slide a small screw driver into to release it and pull the plug apart). Once the ice maker was out I removed the white cover on the left side and it exposed the module. I found the shaft that holds the gear was broken. When the part arrive, I removed the existing module (three screws) and installed the new module. I reversed the ice maker removal process.

No ice means motor and assembly 60% of the time. The hard thing was to unplug the wire plug to the refrigerator from the icemaker and to reconnect it. Its fixed for another ten years. Ez

1/4 nut driver removed 3 screws and unpluged connector at which point you can remove the entire ice maker assembly. Once it was out there was three philips screws that removed the head unit (after the fact I think I could have left the assembly in and just removed the head unit) replace old head unit with new one, making sure to aline the flip bar in the slot. Slide right in and had ice later that night. A very simple fix that once again made me look like the husbandly hero that we all strive for.
