Take out all the ice you can and gently tap the tray with the palm of your hand. If that doesn't work use a hairdryer to warm up and melt the remaining ice.

There is an intermediate internal stop that prevents the battery tray from falling out. Simply pull firmly on the tray to remove it.

If it is stuck after mixing a drink and letting it dry without cleaning, try soaking in VERY hot water... If the problem is opening after shaking with ice - the issue is due to a vacuum forming inside when the air cools - don't know of a cure except to work it with a twist - possibly opening it after a few shakes will decrease the strength of the vacuum.

pop the top(the "handle" it takes a little effort!)then take off the clear plastic part. The cap on the bottom acts as a funnel to help! let me know if that helps!

If the blade gets stuck, just turn the crank counterclockwise to unstick it. Says so, right in the instructions. We always get good results with this ice cream maker.

I've had several of these type of makers. I've never had a problem removing the basket. I usually wait til it is cool and use my finger. Are you perhaps asking about the gasket?

I think you're talking about the trays. It should slide apart. If its stuck it must be due to like a pressure change or something where it expanded. Maybe just give it a few good taps in the palm of your hand.

Take it fully out and make sure there isn't a collection of grounds at the back of the slot for the tray. That happens if you let it get too full and the grounds pucks get cut off as they tray is coming out of its location. If there is, just get a paper towel of a small brush and clean it out good.

Not able to move it manually unless they are willing to break it- it is locked into position with plastic 'hooks' between top and tray bottom

Start with very hot water. This slows the freezing processes and has the side effect of producing very clear ice. The hotter the better, but not so hot you melt your trays.

I recommend that, when finished with the machine, remove the blue top. Then empty the ice out and put the machine upside down in your dish drainer.

This ice maker is standard for most Amana models. All the ice maker logic is built-in to the ice maker. The connector brings power of the motor and heater and sends the command to the water valve to fill the tray. If your refrigerator is a side by side type, the ice maker mounts all the way in the top back of the freezer. Since the freezer is narrow, removing the old ice maker is not easy. There is a latching type molex connector all the way in the back corner and there is very little room for your fingers to press the tab and pull at the same time. Once the old one is out the rest is pretty easy. You will need to transfer a few parts from your old unit to this one, set them side by side and move the parts over.

The only advice I can give is to defrost as the ice builds up. Just pull the plug and let it defrost slowly. Do not use anything to remove the ice.

Not that easy if you just try to grab at it. What I do, is I hold the tray and give it a little twist on either side, in opposite directions (right hand goes outwards/away from me, left hand turns inwards/towards me). You'll hear a little cracking, don't worry, that is not the tray breaking, and that usually loosens up the ice cubes. Then you just poke an ice cube (as if you were trying to push it out from its edges), and it'll slide right out.

I've tried pliers and even a hammer and it still won't budge. If it is not on tight, then it leaks. But as it is nearly impossible to remove, am tossing out the unit today and have canceled my subscription for the filters.

I found that with mine, too. Either fill each cube slot very neatly, or fill as usual, then place a spread palm across the top of the cover near the opening end and tilt the tray to let it run out. Works well for me. I never put it in the freezer on its side.
