Go to where you bought the refridgerator they should have the kit you need or  http://www.repairclinic.com/SmartSearch/...

Answer 2

Here in the US, Amana usually puts the model number label with Mdl. and serial on the very top of the fresh food section.

With the control in front you have to stick your head in and look up. But they can be anywhere depending on the model. I have found some on other brands that were hidden by the drawers and only visable after removing them.  Some are in the freezer.

About the icemaker. Amana was buying all its icemakers from whirlpool. They are a little different in the case, but most of the parts are the same. Amana says there are no parts. They only sell it complete. BUT the whirlpool parts work fine.

And the most common failure is the "head" of it. Called the module.  It has all the switches, motor, and controls on it. What usually fails the most is the tabs that hold the timing wheel on. There should be two tabs in the center of the "wheel".

You will see it when you remove the icemaker and take the cover off the motor end. Then if that white center wheel is loose you might want to try to replace just that. It will likely cost half the cost of the icemaker.

I THINK you need to be sure to get a 220v one even if your refrigerator is dual voltage.

But replacing the whole thing yourself is cheaper than a tech coming out and repairing yours.

You might want to pull it out and go to a local appliance parts store for a replacement. If you don't want to wait for it. Keep the old one until you put the new one in.

And there will be a part number on the icemaker itself. Since you asked for serial? of the icemaker that is on the back of the motor end. You may be able to see if without removing it. It used to be a white label on the black body facing the icecubes. Some are all white tho'.

Good Luck.
