Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgJlBOR1KXk. Do unplug the fridge before proceeding, but I found that I did not need to remove the icemaker from the freezer wall to do the rest. I just popped the cover off the icemaker, removed the metal bar as instructed, unscrewed the three screws from the motor, popped it out, and reversed the steps to put it back together. I plugged the fridge back in, and voila! After a cycle or two, the fridge was kickin' ice out better than it had for a long time. I sure would love to know if this works for you!

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.

2screws one plug. Make sure you have the paddle guard if it matches your old ice maker otherwise it will not fit. Paddle shut off has an on off switch thT pushes paddle back so it won't make ice.

Start with your refrigerator Model number (usually on a sticker inside). You can google it or try a parts place like www.appliancepartspros.com/. Go get the part number for your icemaker. I had an Amana and it lead me to this. Installation was fairly easy. Be careful disconnecting the wiring harness you may want to reuse it.

Hair drier or just turning off the freezer would also work well, just be careful because any plastic in the ice maker could get warped from the heat if you aren't careful.

if you have the new metal replacement part, you can disconnect the old plastic one by simply unthreading it completely off. Mine was broken off, but you should be able to get it off easily

I don't see any way to remove it. I've been happy with how easy it is to keep clean-- I just wipe it down with a damp cloth after it cools off. The drip tray on the bottom does come off, and I've either washed it by hand or in the dishwasher.

First make sure the blade is inserted correctly. Then flip the top open, put two or three ice cubes in, shut the top and let 'er rip. If you have trouble with the crescent shaped cubes from an automatic ice maker, you could try breaking them up with a small mallet or hammer. Sometimes that helps.

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.

Google, "instructions for take a ice tea maker". I am sure you will find the instructions there :D

It is meant to be removed before adding the ice (for chilled beverages) and for cleaning.

Take a screwdriver. Go to the refrigerator. Grab some ice. Chop up the ice with the screwdriver. Make slushee. Drink slushee as you are returning this piece of junk for a full refund.

There are several different ice makers for kenmore refrigerators. If you use the correct replacement, it is fairly easy to replace. If you decide to buy a kit, make sure it is an installation kit and not a replacement kit

Hold in the two buttons on the side and pull it out. It may take a little strength

Hold the grater with the word "zyliss" facing you. Put your right thumb inside the right open cylinder and press against the back to keep it from turning. With your left hand, turn the crank away from you. The crank will completely screw off and you can remove the cylinder. Then you can wash everything (I prefer hand washing it in warm soapy water) and when it's completely dry put the cylinder back in and screw on the crank by turning it toward you. Hope that helps!

It is difficult to remove cured thermal compound, but it can be done. Use 91% or higher rubbing/isopropyl alcohol to soften it up, and pry from the edges slowly with a non-metal tool.You may want to try twisting the cooler a bit too, that can soften it up and it may pop off when given enough torque. Once removed use the alcohol and lots of paper towels to clean things up.

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.
