Amana Refrigerator leaking water from ice maker?

This problem is not very common in Amana refrigerators.But noticed in some cases.When refrigerator gets old, this problem is noticed.In most of the cases the ice maker has to be replaced for permanent solution.


Replacing ice maker assembly on most of the refrigerator is not very difficult and procedure is near to same.But not exactly same.On some models there is clips holding the parts and on some models there are screws holding parts.Many a times screws are hidden and difficult to see.

One of the user who replaced ice maker assembly on his Amana refrigerator has mentioned the procedure to replace ice-maker,Go through this procedure :---


On Amana refrigerator the ice maker was mounted in such a way that disconnecting the power connector was difficult. The ice maker had to be completely dismounted before any access to the power connector was even possible. The short power cables made it very difficult to get the ice maker into a position where I had a good view of the power connector enabling me to see how to release it. The only other challenge was the cup that the water line goes into. The replacement ice maker did not come with the right cup - the instructions said to replace the provided one with the old one. No instructions for this procedure were provided and it looked to me like it might involve significant disassembly, something I wanted to avoid for fear of breaking a plastic part on the new ice maker (something I had already done when disassembling the old ice maker). So instead of replacing the cup, I modified the new one to match the old one. This involved removing a cutout on one side and covering a hole on the other. Installation of the new ice maker went fine and the water leak problem was fixed.This procedure will help, you when you will replace ice maker Assembly on your refrigerator.Be care full you don't break any wire connector while removing old ice maker.Because the wires are bit short in Amana refrigerators,then other model refrigerators.The wire getting pulled out problem is very much noticed on Amana refrigerators.
