ASE526K (P1109904W) Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

removed the old part and replaced with new. Part came very quickly....

The fridge door was easy. Just unscrew top and lift off hindge. The freezer door took longer. But I had the user guide which helped. We unhooked the power harness at the top of the door, and disconnected the water line at the bottom of the door.

Frankly, it wasn't that hard for me because I had my son-in-law do it!

remove the tray from the freezer. unsnap the front cover from the bin. remove the four screws holding the metal helix and grinder assembly to the bin. slide the metal helix and grinder assembly out. slide the new end cap onto the end of the helix. (this is the only tricky part and takes some patience. The stub end of the helix has to slide into the hole in the end cap. You can't bend the helix, just work the end cap around until it slides over the helix end stub). Reassemble the grinder and helix to the bin, snap the cover on and slide back into the freezer.

I removed the ice tray and removed the front plastic cover that simply snapped off. I removed 4 hex screws with 1/4" nut driver. Then pulled the auger forward. This allowed me to slide the end cap into place. I put the auger in place and retightened the 4 hex screws, snapped on the plastic cover it worked fine

very easy, with use of screwdriver and 1/4 in nut driver. just remember the way the blades go and get them back the same way. had it fixed in 15 mins.

Removed 6 screws total and removed the entire Auger and Ice Crusher. The broken Helix just fell off, I put the new one on after a little finagaling to get it lined up right and it just snap into place. Replace the screws, put the bucket back, dumped in the Ice and the dispenser started working Fine.

I removed the damaged ice bucket and replaced the parts from the old one on to the new one. It was straight forward and not difficult

Remove ice tray from freeze. Removed all screws, replaced wheel. Reassembled unit.

I removed the faceplate and auger from the old ice bucket and installed it in the new one(10 minutes). Then removed the water intake valve and replaced it with a new one also ordered from you (about 15 min). The ice maker is working fine as is the water through the door. Very simple job, Ordering was easy and the service was excellent and fast. Thanks again and I've recommended you to my friends.

removed the ice maker tray and screws and that held the cover to the rotating mechanism that crushes and dispenses the ice. the end cap is then attached to the rotating mechanism and ice container, the cover is replaced;finishing the job.

First, remove the plastic cover off the top hinge by removing the single phillips head screw.

Removed the three hex-head screws holding the hinge to the body of the fridge and then lift the hinge off of the door.

Lift the door off the bottom hinge and place on a flat surface so you can easily access the bottom.

Remove the single hex-head screw from the center of the door part of the closure cam and pull it free. Install the new part.

Next, remove the bottom portion of the closure cam from the lower door hinge (still attached to the fridge) by removing the single hex-head screw. Install the new part.

If needed, lube the lower door hinge with Vaseline and carefully set the door back on. (This is the hard part if you are working alone, as it can be hard to line up the hole.)

Lube the top hinge, reinstall, and replace the plastic cover. Easy as 1, 2, 3.

removed top hinge, lifted door off bottom hinge, replaced cam, installed door.

The worst part was unloading the door shelves. Removed upper hinge cover and hinge hex screws. This allows the door to be removed. Lay the door on side. Remove screw that holds cam in place. Replace
broken cam with new piece. Put the door back on the hinge pin and replace upper hinge screws and cover.
Now reload all of the stuff.

Took the door off, and replaced the plastic shim on the bottom that was the cause of the problem. The shim had broken into pieces and was no longer holding the door in height and alignment. I was proud of myself that I could repair it myself and avoid a $125.00 service call from a repairman. Total cost of repair including shipping and handling was just south of $12.00.
