How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP4299334 / 5303918344 Ice Maker Assembly

Replaced ice maker 

Replaced the ice maker. For two years I would remove the ice tray when I thought about it and reach in and feel for any stuck ice and attempt to break the cubes loose only to get stuck on the next cycle.

Replacing the ice maker fixed the issue. Because the ice maker was redesigned. I needed a new ice cream shelf. If your current ice maker has a power switch that is vertical, you will need a new ice cream shelf to make it fit correctly. The repair was very easy. All I had to do is loosen two screws on the ice maker mount and slide it out. Then disconnect the connector and install the new ice maker. It was probably the easiest repair I have ever done. 

I watched the online video you have of how to change an icemaker. To think I paid someone to do this long ago when it is so easy to do yourself. The added bonus came when I read the FAQs also, and discovered the reason my refrigerator door wasn't dispensing ice cubes (only crushed) was the solenoid that controls the augar within the tray had frozen in position and how to easily free it up again. I will definitely be back to your website the next time anything goes wrong with one of my appliances before I call a serviceman. Thanks. 

Replaced ice maker. 

Replaced it with the part I ordered. This fridge is expensive but we still need to replace it. But buying replacement parts has saved us a ton of money instead. 

I had repaired my icemaker using the cheapest part I could find on eBay. Turns out that is not a good strategy, because only a few months later, the cheap reproduction part would still produce ice, but also leaked a LOT. So for this repair, I was searching for an OEM replacement part. The replacement procedure is extremely simple - slide out the shelf/cover over the icemaker, slide out the ice tray, loosen two retaining bolts (1/4" nut-driver or a socket is all that is needed), lift out the old assembly, disconnect the Molex connector behind it, then reverse everything to install the new assembly. Press and hold the on switch for about 20 seconds to cycle it one time, and within about 1 1/2 hours, it was dumping ice. The whole process was well under 5 minutes, and I'm just a relatively handy guy, not a pro by any means. 

I ordered a replacement using OEM parts number. I discovered during installation that the plastic flap attachment was different from the OEM and I also could remove the additional shut off wire piece from the original ice maker. Once I added those two pieces from the original ice maker, the new unit performed as expected. 

Replaced with new ice machine. Part arrived as expected and was already adjusted for optimal ice making. I just plugged it in and tightened two bolts. Easy easy. Started making ice once temperature reached 0 degrees and didn’t stop until bin was full. It takes about a day to fill up ice machine. Works perfectly. One suggestion is to make sure you have a new or fully operational water filter in your refrigerator or your ice machine will not make ice at its optimal level. If your water filter is 6 months old and/or your water dispenser pushes water slower than normal you likely need a new water filter. Check your refrigerator manual for your recommended replacement intervals. With a new water filter and new ice machine my ice bin is full and my wife and kids are happy.
