The icemaker in your machine may vary from these drawings. The principles are the same.
|
To remove the icemaker, first lift the bin slightly. |
 |
Pull the bottom of the bin outward as you continue to lift. |
 |
Pull the icemaker toward you as you continue to lift. |
 |
Replacement is the opposite of this. Put the ice bin back into the icemaker and lower it into its place. |
 |
Pay attention to the feeler arm on the icemaker. (This is the lever that sweeps across the ice bin to determine how full it is.)
Do not bend or force the feeler arm. |
 |
The icemaker can be removed and replaced without removing the door.
Remove the two screws at the top of the icemaker, lift it off its brackets and unplug the wiring harness. Remove the icemaker from the compartment. Removal will not affect the operation of the refrigerator other than there will be no ice. |
 |
The icemaker includes an ON / OFF switch, LED indicators for cube size and error codes, a button to select a cube size, and a feeler arm to determine when the ice bin is full.
If the icemaker is turned off, the cold air flow to the icemaker compartment is not stopped. Ice in the bin will not melt. |
 |
Remove two screws (A) to remove the icemaker.
Remove the four screws (B) that secure the back wall of the icemaker. Take it out of the icemaker room. It is slightly heavy because it includes the cubed / crushed solenoid and the auger motor. With the icemaker out of the icemaker room, remove two screws (C) and the ground screw on the back to remove the cubed / crushed solenoid. This solenoid moves the flap that diverts ice through the crusher or lets it fall out as cubes. |
 |
Untape the wires and disconnect the wires to the auger motor. Remove the ground screw to release the wire.
Remove two screws (D) to release the auger motor. Pull the auger motor assembly out. |

The icemaker can be reset by turning the switch OFF and then ON. Powering it ON causes a forced harvest operation. If the water in the mold hasn’t frozen, the cubes cannot be ejected. Then, cycling the solenoid will overfill the mold and cause spillage.
