How do I remove front cover on Amana Top Freezer ice maker

Hello Frank;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.

You have a general ice maker. Very Common. If you go to Sears, they want $116.00 for a new ice maker. Go into eBay and get one for $45.00 or less. Several models will work in your unit.

The front cover just pops off. I have to pull and use a small flat head screw driver to get it off.


Before you do anything, check to make sure you do not have a frozen fill tube. This is common.

Having removed the cover you will see the control module.

With a jumper wire, just ports 'T' & 'H' to manually run your ice maker. Remove the wire after 60 seconds and observe it running.

It is not uncommon to have the plastic gearing break, motor failureHow do I remove front cover on Amana Top Freezer i - 25332457-rljzekqxa22lq3uayqx0h0vi-4-8.jpg"/uploads/images/25332457-rljzekqxa22lq3uayqx0h0vi-4-8.jpg" alt="25332457-rljzekqxa22lq3uayqx0h0vi-4-8.jpg" class="h_mi" />
You can get a new control module on eBay for about $25.00. But still, you may also have a bad heater or thermostat.

May I suggest, buy a new unit on eBay and install.

Install:
1.) Remove the bottom hex head screw.
2.) Back off the two top screws until you can lift the ice maker up and away from the wall.
