AFI2538AEB Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

We had an Appliance Repair service come to fix, and they replaced the ice maker and the water valve, but ice maker was still not performing properly. We use RO water to fill the ice maker and because the water was also going through the charcoal cartridge, there wasn't enough water pressure to completely fill the tray. Plus charcoal filter was probably clogged. The original Blue Bypass Cap was nowhere to be found and I even called Kitchenaid to get one. They were of no help. But found your site, and found the part I needed. And best of all, ice maker is not jamming and is now making real ice cubes, not hollow, thin ones. And the water dispenser is now working too, so am very happy that such a small thing, fixed the big problem. Who knows, a clogged charcoal filter may have been the whole problem from the start.

I unscrewed the old filter and screwed the new filter in the way the instructions said. I have done this before with no problems. Easy fix.

I removed the bottom drawer, the two upper drawers and the glass that covered the lower drawer. Took three screws out of the left side pantry end cap and replaced it with the new part. New end cap in place, put the drawers back in, put the cover back on and it works like a charm.

Repair was helped by reading what others shared with similar issue helped a lot. First remove all bins and glass pane. Use the nut driver to remove three screws that hold the pantry. Be careful while removing it from refrigerator. There a an vent control that clips onto back side of refrigerator and attaches to pantry end cap. Remove this piece, be careful as not to break it. This piece ( the guts) attaches to the slide piece that attaches to the controller, remove carefully by turning it to align the slot tab. Then remove the pantry sliders by two screws by using your nut driver. Reverse these steps for reinstall. Then place completed unit into refrigerator, by clipping the back vent control, don't forget the square foam gasket. Then slide the pantry end cap into place, pay attention to the front of the end cap as you may need to slide into the clip to lock in place. Then screw in the three screws, careful not to tighten to much, as it might crack.

Screwed new filter in

Called the repairman. He told me it was $80.00 to come look at it and determine what was wrong. I told him what was wrong but he told me that he would have to check it and then they would send a repairman to fix it. Total phone repair estimate if I was right was $450.00 to ?. I went ahead and ordered the part from PartSelect even though I have zero expertise in this kind of repair. The part arrived in two days. With trepidation, I pulled the refrig away from the wall, unpluged the electric, and removed the cover plate on the back (10"x10" bright metal plate).I Followed the directions that were sent and replaced the board. Total time for this part of the job was 15 minutes. Programming the board was a little harder for me and it took me about an hour to figure it out. Well worth what little effort it actually took, $300 bucks in my pocket not the repair guy's.

I removed the lower shelves and then the left hand mount, 2 screws. Installed the new part, replaced the cover and the shelves.... done. very easy to do. the parts arrived ricki tic

I was skeptical when others said it took about 5 minutes to do this repair, but they were right. The hardest part is emptying the fridge enough to get drawers out. After that it's a matter of removing a few screws, and putting the new piece in. Really simple!

Switch - It Snaps In. 1st, Very carefully pry out the old Switch along the Rectangle Body Edge with a "non sharpe butter knife" 2nd, grasp the edge of the wireing harnest and pull apart from switch assembly(seperate) 3rd, align cable harnest with New Switch and Push Firmely into place and 4th, carefully Push Complete Assembly back onto Refrigerator Wall - DONE!

Undid two screws and replaced the broken part, very easy

I bought the Center Rail and installed it as mentioned below:
1. Open both doors of the Refrigerator fully.
2. Take out the top glass of the box holder and keep it in a safe place.
3. Place one end of the new Center Rail on a slot located in the middle of the frame.
4. Slide the other end from any side and place it on the other slot.
5. Make sure that the entry side of the Center Rail should be in the front.
6. Now put back the glass on the top and it is ready to hold the vegetable container again.
7. Just role the vegetable container slide moving up and down so that the roller sets in Center Rail then push it.

The beverage door was easy. Just pop out the old and in with the new. The light switch was just a small challenge. Getting the old one out was a little tricky using a putty knife, as directed, after a screwdriver wouldn't quite so it. Once out, the new switch hooked up and went in quite easily. Now, on to the icemaker, a bit more of a challenge.

this part basically pops in and out on each end of pantry lid. Took about 30 seconds to replace it! I was amazed with the quick service I received from your company too! It was shipped the same day I placed the order and received it the very next day! Way to go!!

My 3 year old broke the tab, so I ordered the new piece. My husband installed it, but I was right there watching. Very simple fix. No issues at all. One thing I loved is that the shipping was super fast! I did not request any expedited shipping, but as fast as it came you would've thought I had. I know this is a website I will be purchasing future replacement products from!!

I removed the bottom pantry drawer, the lid, the two drawers above the bottom drawer, the glass shelf above the bottom drawer, and the plastic supports for the glass shelf. I used the socket set to remove the sliding metal tray, I installed the sliding metal tray piece on the new end cap. Then I removed the two bolts that held the plastic "pantry end cap" in place. Once those bolts were removed, I carefully pulled the end cap into the center of the fridge to separate temperature control rod from the back of the fridge. There is a piece of angled plastic that holds it in place. Once I had that whole apparatus removed (there are three parts) I had to carefully angle the plastic piece to disconnect the temperature control rod from the old end cap, and install it on the new end cap. So long as you are careful and do not force it, it is very straight forward. You do not need to bend or force anything to get it separated and re-installed. Once I had the temp control rod moved over, I installed the angled plastic piece in the back, then angled the end cap against the side wall, then installed the two bolts that hold it in place. Then I put the pantry drawer, shelf, and other drawers back in place.
