JFC2290VEP6 Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

Bought new cap.

Tested things a saw that the water valve was working so I figured it had to be the unit in the fridge. There was a possibility that it could be the thermostat or a couple of other possibilities. So I decided to replace the entire unit. That would be easiest and for sure solve the issue. It was simple since the new unit contained everything including the wire harness. So all I had to do was un plug the wiring connection remove 3 screws, remove the unit, put the new one in and plug the wiring connection in. Done in a couple of hours had ice. Within in about 24 hours ice tray was full. And works well

Opened package. Washed divider. Dropped in place (where indicated by marks) in drawer. Took a nap.

Removed the access panel on back of unit located the Run Capacitor on the compressor and removed the bad one and put the new one on and pugged refrigerator back in and it started up and works fine now

Ordered left side end cap from Parts Select. They sent me the right side end cap. Had to return the part. They did refund the part price but it cost me shipping both ways. Had to order the part from another vendor. After receiving the correct part it took 19 minutes to remove some shelves, replace the part and replace the shelves, deli drawer and deli cover. Very easy.

I replaced the icemaker assembly.

The installation video for condenser fan motor helped a lot to know how to disconnect the old fan motor and connect the new one. So easy just know how to remove and put back the fan gently, observe carefully where is the center and the connector position; 15 min after everything was done and the unit works well to date.

Open and remove lower cover on filter holder by opening tabs that hold lower cover and remove lower cover.

Firmly hold back of unit and firmly hold and turn filter in counter clockwise to unlock and remove.

Install new filter by holdin back of unit and install new filter by turning in clock wise direction and then replace lower cover.

Popped out the old switch and replaced it with the one dying

Take out the elbow fill tube and check to see if ice build up inside tube. Clean tube of ice build up. Replace tube back in. In my case that corrected my problem.

Was told capacitor was problem 90% of the time.Capacior was not the problem.Bad start relay.

Checked Video online. Had to remove the 2 snap on track/gear covers. Pry out the gear with screwdriver and the gear bearing unit. Align the flat side of the bearing unit and snap in. Position the cut teeth on the gear to match original and snap into the bearing. Insert the connecting rod into the long shaft gear and then push back into the short shaft gear. The video said to remove the drawer front but I did not and don't see that it necessary.

Followed the demo film on line.
Good instructions

Everything went as planned except the cold temperature (freezer door switch located inside freezer) made deflection of the switch locking tab difficult to remove. Letting the switch warm up was not an option.

Looked at several videos on line in order to learn how to remove door and and all trays and bins and remove ice maker. Mostly straight forward. It helps to have a second pair of hands and eyes to assist. But could be done alone.Never did this before but I would say that, with a little courage, anyone could do this. I had a local repair estimate of almost $300. I did the job for the cost of the part, $80.
