Please Note: This part has been updated by the manufacturer and includes the ice maker and flat plug connector only. It does not include the cover, ice level arm or the wire harness. You can reuse tho...
First I unplugged the refrigerator. Then I disconnected the flat plug. Then I loosened two screws and removed the origional ice maker. After the old ice maker was out I reversed the process and installed the new ice maker. The instructions said that it could take up to 24 to 48 hours before you have your first batch of ice. Two hours after the installation I had my first cycle of ice. One of the easiest repairs I have ever done!
first unscrewed the 3 hex head screws. The problem that delayed everythhing for a few days ways that the wiring harness would not come loose from the side of the freezer. I called our service man and he was kind enough to tell me to disconnect the wiring harness from the ice maker instead of the freezer. With that knowledge , the replacement went quickly. I would suggest that you include that info on your site. Unplug the wiring harness from the icemaker and not the freezer.
Followed the directions in the package. Turned off the power, removed two screws following the directions and replaced the entire unit. So easy even a Cave Man can do it. No kidding, and the best part was the fact that our local distributed wanted almost $20.00 more for the same part and I'd have to drive over a hour 40 miles to get it.
