This is the second time this paticular motor has failed, refridgerator got warm, stuff in freezer thawed first.
Checked the electrical circuits to find out if there was power to the fan motor. there was and the motor would not run. Further testing found the motor DOA. Pulled freezer compartment apart, removed the Ice maker, unscrewed the four screws that hold the evaporator cover on the back of the compartment, and removed mounting bracket for the evaporator fan / motor. there is a two wire molex connector that you pull apart, two wires on the compartment light and everything is free. Swap out the motor and reverse the procedure.
All three lights are not working...lights are off but refrigerator still cooling. Also, the control box not lit up to show the temparture for freezer and refrigerator
Used a screw driver to pull old switch. Pulled one wire at a time, only two wires. After wires instlled to new switch push new one back in place where the old one was.
Removed 2 screws holding left side of ice tray. Removed 4 screws holding back of freezer compartment in place. Pulled center plastic air duct out of freezer. loosened two screws holding fan mount on either side of central fan hole. Pulled top of freezer compartment back down to expose fan and mount. Removed fan mount screws and unplugged fan. disassembled fan mount and removed fan blace from motor. reassembled mount and motor being sure rubber bushings are in place. Put fan blace back on new motor (slip fit). Remounted fan mount on freezer back and plugged in. Reassembled in reverse order. This time I kept the old motor (2nd one in 3 years) so I can identify the replacement easily by photo.
I simply removed the old switch using 2 small screwdrivers and the old switch case popped out. I then upluged the wires from the old switch and reversed the process. Didn't take longer than 5 minutes begining to end! Thank you for the great service! Duncan quaid
freezing of evaporator and no cold airflow to fridge side from freezer.
First i unplugged the appliance!!! Then I removed the three screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. installed fan. Removed inside panels from back of freezer and de-frosted coils with hair dryer (20mins). CAUTION! "Mop up and dry area of exsess water before pluging appliance back in! Re- assemble panels and plug in.
unpluged frig, removed rear cover removed 120v supply connector, removed three fan support screws.Changed fan blades to new motor unit installed fan support screws,installed 120v connector plug frig in, test fan installed rear cover .....
Removed the 2 screws holding the light bulb shield, then the 4 uolding the metal panel. Unplugged the olw door switch and replaced. reassembled the pieces.
it kept kicking on and off the relay would kick out.
just took a screwdriver and prized of the little ketch that holds it on and then unpluged the parts then pluged them back on. i do all of my repairs myself.
First my dad removed the screws that hed the boken handle in place. Screwed on the new handle. This was done in a flash. This saved him from purchasing a new refrigerator. Thanks Magic Chef!!
Referencing the info/schematics you have on your website, I unscrewed/unattached top-front panel (carefully), from behind the panel you have to detach the wires (2) from the switch, pushed "in" the switch to remove, put in new switch and attach wires to test BEFORE remounting panel. Tada!! Thank you PartSelect! You saved me at least $80...would have been at least $100 to have a repair person come to the house!
Repair went well,took about five to ten minutes to disconnect the power from the fridge removed the defective switch installed the new one ,reconnected the power,,,and Let there be light and there was light!
Compressor running continually, and refrigerator too cold
Maytag wide by side refrigerators tend to eat these parts about once a year, and this is my third assy so the replacement went very fast. When we used the Maytag warranty they replaced this part about 6 times, after they exchanged the refrigerator. No major disassembly is required, drop the plastic after removing a few screws, plug in the assy, and you are good to go, no more frozen food in the refer. The only tricky part is getting the clips to release so you can slide the plastic cover forward, but after a while they break off and it is easier to remove.
The parts came within two days. They were very easy to instlall. I had to remove the screws from the refridgerator and attach them to the new rails and install. Thats it.. will be buying more parts soon..
Refrig began to trip the GFI circuit in the garage. When plugged into a house interior circuit the lights and fan ran but no cooling in either the freezer or frig.
First of all I want to thank Michael from Carlisle,PA and this site for publishing Michael's info on the wiring specifics on the new 3 connector Start Relay ( WP2262185 ). The original relay only has 2 connectors The 2 orange wires which are combined to one female connector need to be clipped and separated each to its own connector. Refer to Michael's blog as to which wire goes to which connector on the Start Relay. I replaced the Run Capacitor, Start Relay and Overload just to be safe. The Start Relay was the actual culprit.Thank you for an excellent website!
