GC2223GEKW Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

I changed out the ice wheel inside the ice bucket. Jack

Simply remove the filter and insert the bypass cap in its place. Cap turned a little hard but if your careful everything goes together easily.

So simple I couldn't believe it! Twist out the old filter then twist in the new! Easy Peasy!

Sorry for delay in writing. Part I ordered arrived two days ago and it was exactly what I needed. Knowing that there will be problems even with the smallest job I procrastinated starting. When I did start this morning I foud I had to completely remove the ice maker and disassemble it in order to install the water fill cup bracket. The challenge was reassembling the unit. Not hard for an experienced repairman but a challenge for layman. Everything is thing is back to gether now and power on cooling down the refrigerator. Won't know how successful it was until turn on water and ice is formed. If it works this saved $75 just to get a Sears repairman to come out and tell me what would be needed to fix the refrigerator and $1,000 if I had to buy a new refrigerator. Extremely satisfied with service I received. Thank you.

Thought I needed a new filter. Did not solve the problem. I returned the filter to partselect as per instructions. Will order from partselect when I need parts.

Easy...

It took less that 30 seconds to pop out the old one and less that 30 seconds to install the new one.

As per instructions to replace filter

I used a knife blade to slip under the edge of old switch to pray it out of the hole it was inserted into, switched the wires and replaced the new switch into the same hole. It took about five minutes!

The problem had occurred twice before and the metal auger could no longer be reliably forced back into alignment with its end cap. It was time for a replacement. I opted to replace the entire auger assembly including the crusher blade - a total of three individual parts in this assembly. With the Amana model and serial number in hand, I logged into PartSelect and found the ice maker part(s) in the fridge schematic diagram. I ordered the assembly which arrived early. It is easy to disassemble. Remove the ice drawer from the freezer, minus the ice, and place it upside down on a work surface. You only have to remove four screws; the two on the front bottom of the ice drawer and the two screws holding the little L-shaped brackets that receive those two bottom screws. Tip: To avoid any confusion during reassembly, just take a picture of each step of your disassembly. You can do it Noonan.

I snapped the cover plate to the filter open. Pulled the filter down and twisted counter clock wise to take filter out. I installed the new filter in by inserting the filter and tuning clock wise to secure the filter. I flushed the water for about two minutes and then allowed it to be put back into service.
