 Hey everyone, J-Bear 1000 here. I've been having some trouble with this ice maker So we're gonna put a new one in it. So stick around. Okay, so the problem we're having with this thing I know it's gonna be kind of hard to film this but the problem having with this is Sometimes this thing The bar will get stuck up And it'll like halfway and it'll make a weird noise like it's trying to do something and it can't what's going on I think is there's a heater underneath these little heating element. Here's the new one Right here what that does is When you're when this fills up with water water goes in here Okay, it fills up with water That rod will go right in here and there's a switch right here that shuts it off When you flip it all the way up it fills up with water and this is like on a timer Okay, and it comes around when that freezes, you know, the water would be hard to get out of there So what it does is when that's when that's ready to push the ice out What this does is spin around and push push the ice out when it does that the heating element Starts heating up and heats up this bottom here and the sides a little bit Just enough to where it just pushes the ice out real easy now I Think the heating element's going bad. I'm not sure it's still making ice, but some days. It's really loud This is a new one her dad bought it because he ordered an online when he was still alive of course and The problem was that he quit making ice so he ordered a new one And one day they went out and it hadn't started making ice again. So he just thought he'd wait so I'm gonna go ahead and replace it now since there's an issue with it So I've I've replaced similar ones. I've never done this one. This is a Maytag plus I'm not sure the model number. It's a kind of a weird design, but I Won't go ahead and take an ice tray out of there So you guys can see that and so I can work in it and let's see what involves on taking this thing out Floor and that's another thing One is filling up with ice in the summertime this thing cannot keep up Because you know we use a lot of ice But like now it just it you know, it just fills up Shoot and that arm Does not you know won't go all the way up to shut it off. So What I'm gonna have to do I think I don't know if this just lifts out or what? But I'm gonna have to I got to get behind here and unplug this and I think this just pops off here So I need to look at the new one and see how it is and then through it here And then I'll get back with you. Okay, so this looks like it's gonna be a pretty easy one Looks like I just lift up and shut that off so water don't come shooting out at me Looks like this just lifts up and pops out I'm gonna unplug the wires There it is. I don't have to worry about the water coming in. See it's still got water in it Well, I know you can't see it. It's dripping on me There's just some plugs by squeezing those two things and pulling this out. These wires will get transferred Over to the new one. Okay, so Let's set this down here on the stove And we're gonna change the veil over and the wire. Let's get you over here on the stove Okay, so first we're gonna take this off. Well, I get this kind of cool Take that off and look it's it's got a built-in telescoping magnet That's pretty neat This is 5 sixteenths or eight millimeter I Noticed there was a screw missing inside there. So It does come with a couple extra screws and something else over there. I didn't see on this on the old one there, but So we're gonna put put this on here. It just kind of makes the screws as it goes in and this thing is kind of crappy All right, let me go get a another socket Tighten that up with okay guys. I just talked to you for about a minute. I didn't hit record It's not a 5 sixteenths. That's quarter inch. So all right now This should just pop off There's a little tab right here You push that tab in and this will come out so I'm gonna do it right now. I'll give you the model number of what this thing is Down in the now and cross the screen right now push this down As you're pulling it out the subway There we go Just like that. All right now we're gonna Put it straight into the other one push it all the way back to a clicks And it didn't click now this clip has to be moved this clip here I'm gonna take it off and move it up here. It's like see where the different spot. It's in so Yeah, it's clicked on there. All right. This is gonna be This is gonna be great These things man once they clip in there and you'll launch and cross the room Okay, I'm gonna have to go get a straight screwdriver. Okay. I'm back It's kind of Open that up a little bit then it should come out Should in theory There we go. There's that Now what I'm gonna do So I'm gonna squeeze that closed I'm gonna get a pair of pliers. I'm all gonna do is squeeze that closed just till it's not up in us at a slant upwards See where it's like slanted I'm just gonna make it straight. Okay. See I just made this This part straight instead of going upwards And I'm gonna put Just tap it on there I'm gonna put this up in there There now that's done. It's ready to go on Here's the new one a new cover. There's the old cover There's a subtle difference This one's kind of more rounded this one straight. I don't know if this one I Don't know other than that. They're they're identical So let's get the veil change This is one of the easiest jobs Just This is for like if you go away or you can put that up and it'll quit making ice like right now It can't make ice anyway because it's a plug but It shuts this switch off in here There's a switch inside here So when you pull pull that up it turns that little dial shuts the switch off It won't let it put it won't let it make ice or anything. Okay, so I see there's a crack on that I may have put this one on it So yeah, I'll probably have to put this one on here So let's say you go away for a week, you know you taking your little vacation and you forget to push this up What this does is the ice will keep making ice and in theory it will push this up And then close it it shuts it off. So that way it doesn't You know just Toward you open your freezer when you get home and there's nothing but ice in there But what this one was doing was acting real strange I mean it would just get stuck for no reason whether there was ice under it or not It would make a loud noise Things like that. It looks to me like I'm gonna have to change this piece here because this one goes over top goes over top the Snout in there looks like one is a little different. It looks like Might be what this is for. I don't know Not sure what that's for didn't come with instructions. I figured they've gotten lost Okay, so I'm gonna have to shut you off for a minute do my homework on this and Wait a minute There's a place right here you cut out you see that Might be able to break that out of there or cut it out. I'm gonna just go ahead and cut that out And I'm gonna clean this up And we'll get ready to put it back in okay now to get that this piece off here There's only two screws in this thing that we're gonna take off There's um, what is it? This one's a little different Okay, there's one here There should be one over here. Maybe it's in there. I don't know but My screwdriver here, we'll take this one out first may need to get a better screwdriver Yeah, there's one in there it came out. I'm gonna have to get me a better screwdriver Okay, let me get a better screwdriver so I don't Strip that out. Hey, I almost grabbed this one the first time. I thought it'd be too big so grab the other one But here we go. There we go I'm gonna screw this this should come out. I've got unplugged this again hang on I've got unplugged that again. Now this will come out Just like that actually That's probably just replace this piece instead of cutting it off right make sure it's clean because that's where your water is coming down Yeah, what am I doing here guys? I got turned around here. We go Well, there we go. See there's the heating element Plug them down here. I said I'm gonna have to oh Almost forgot the thing the whole reason why we're working on them. Yeah, that's why we had to take it out It's cuz that gets hooked in there. So all right now It's just a matter of Tightening these two screws up again, and I'm gonna clean this off real good I won't stick it back up in there and plug it back in so Hang tight guys. Okay. I know you really can't see real well, but I'm gonna go ahead and plug this back in I'm gonna leave that up so water don't like I said come shooting out at me Tube in there flip this back up in one started I just gotta get this one started and the thing about these things every time I hear that pop I think it's breaking because that plastic gets cold We all know what happens the cold plastic Let me mess with this some more see what I can do with it All right guys got that up in there. I ain't gonna lie to you. That was a pain You guys Some of you guys have heard my rants Those weren't nothing compared to this thing, but I got it in there. Let's put this this on I Don't know if camera can pick that up and see it says off and on so I Didn't get that all cleaned off But still what I'm gonna do is dump that ice out of the tray There we go I'm gonna put the tray back in and we're gonna let it We won't let it do Then I'll flip that down We'll let it make some ice and see how well it does okay guys So there it is. We've got it in I'm waiting What I forgot to mention is the ice tray Has to be 15 degrees at least 15 degrees before it starts cycling so and that is this thing here that Notices the temperature, which if you noticed It's filling up So just hit 15 degrees. All right cool So I Don't know if you guys notice, but when I was putting that back together This wasn't in there. So once I got it in there And shut the camera off. I looked over. I was like, oh, no, so I had to take that back off And I was like am I missing something so I looked it up online found a video with this exact refrigerator refrigerator and This guy's showing how easy it is to take out the change It's like we did it and then when he he went to put it up in there He started fumbling with it and then it cut To it perfectly in there and in him putting that bottom screw in Press it firmly into place Snap it into place And then we can put our quarter in there. Yeah, he had the same problem what it is is you got to get them put up in there and That one you got to kind of push back a little bit for it to go in to these holes You got to kind of put it back push it back and it'll pop in That one you get them started up in there And you know it's kind of like this and then you pull it back to you just a smidgen and it drops in so Have that issue keep that in mind So anyway, so I just heard it filling up. So that's good I'll have ice in a couple hours if for some reason I don't or it doesn't work Then we'll do another video of putting that one back in it But I think it'll be fine now I cleaned everything off like I said, so I put the ice tray back in you saw that and So we'll give it a couple hours makes some ice and it should be fine so but Anyway guys That's that Like I said, I'll I'll put the The the model number of this refrigerator down the bottom screen again in case you missed it Yeah, the door is real weird on it. I can show you the door real quick here. Maybe I got my old one of my old tripods out here Like that kind of See it kind of has this So But anyway, I'll put it bottom of the screen and But that all these ice makers are kind of pretty much the same they're not real hard to change If I wasn't filming probably would have this done in about 10 minutes. So I Was looking online somebody said it took them two hours and I'm like maybe if you're counting Once the first tray of ice comes out But what I usually do after I change these see, you know, I wash them out real good But I clean it out was I use some Windex glass cleaner Some of this stuff and then I wash that off and then I And then I'll let it run a couple trays of ice through it and I'll dump them out Then it should be good to go So there you go. All right guys, thanks for watching. Appreciate it. Hope this helps someone and We'll see you guys in the next one. Thanks again and bye-bye guys Did I say she barely meant the main alleged? I'm gone. If not, I'm saying it again We'll see you guys later. Bye. Bye
