AFI2538AEW Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

I had to disasemble the crispers and remove the runners and side panel. I needed a screwdriver and wrench set (metric). Once I found the correct socket, everythig went very smooth. My husband was amazed that I could make the repair by myself. I probably saved $200!! The part fit perfect and it was alos very good quality. Thanks

Removed old pantry end and installed new. Was easy.

For the filter.....lefty loosey righty tighty...just that easy. For the right side pantry end cap.....removed the pantry,veggie and fruit draws..lifted out the glass shelve with it's end guides... Two screws to remove the track. another 3 screws to removes the end cap....pulled the temp control attached to the rear out with the cap. Disconnect the temp control lever .......reverse the process and your home free.

Removed the pantry, fruit and vegetable bins, and bottom glass shelf.(Pantry's glass door had previously been removed due to broken hinge pin.) Using nut driver, removed old pantry end cap by loosening two screws. Removed sliding tracks from old endcap, installed on new endcap. Installed new pantry end cap. Cleaned bottom of fridge, then cleaned and reinstalled veg bins and pantry. Installed pantry glass door. Fit perfectly and works as good as new. Wife is happy now.

Removed and replaced part...

Removed the fruit and veggie drawers & the deli (pantry) drawer. (Tim from Littleton CO helped me in this when he described his experience)......what helped me this time is before I put the side panel all the way into its' home position, I fastened the deli lid in place, being sure to not put any strain on the tab that I broke the last time. This go around I ordered two of these side panels just in case. I received my parts in two days. thanks!!!

Grind rivet head off , install rivet tap end

After unplugging the refrigerator, I removed the lower rear access panel that exposed the condenser and the overload/relay start capacitor with 1/4" nut driver (6 total). Next, I unplugged the wire harness and spring loaded keeper with needle nose pliers. Then I pulled the overload/relay start capacitor out of the 3 pronged male receptor located on the side of the condenser and plugged in the new one. Replaced the keeper, plugged the harness back in, and replaced the panel. Very easy fix.

Removed veggie draws and glass tray.

Part arrived in 2 days. Repair very easy

Ordered new center rail which arrived next day (!) my husband took the shelf out, inserted new rail into slots, replaced shelf, put the bins back and it works perfectly again. No problem at all, took less that 15 min. including removing food items from shelf and putting shelf back into the refrigerator.
