GT1827PEKW Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

Pried out ice blade bar and removed broken water fill cup and replaced with new one.The whole repair costs $9.52 So I saved $ 190 over the cost of Appliance man visit!
It would have been $150& $50 for visit to replace ice maker unit.

part got here fast and I fixed it in no time. GREAT Thanks

Recently unemployed, we knew a repairman was out of the question. We opted to glue the broken tab,but I knew that would just be living a substandard rerpair so looked on line. Found our replacement part very easily and much to our surprise we had the part the next day, yes, the next day!! Looking at the new part gave us the confidence to pop out the old one without causing damage to our unit. It was a no brainer , pop out and plug in w/in 30 seconds. Small appliance repairmen are a minumum of 75.00 service fee plus parts. Our repair less than 20.00 less than 24 hrs. How good is that?

5 minutes Total Time

Popped old one out with knife. exchanged power leads. Popped new switch in. Make sure to unplug refrigerator before you start!

I popped the switched out depressing the underside of the switch so that it could be removed.
I ordered the part.
Paid for normal shipping.
Received an order confirmation.
Received a shipping notification.
Received the part the next morning.
Open the part and attached the wires.
Pushed the switch into the hole and the process was done in less than 24 hours. I couldn't have been more pleased. The actual installation took less than 30 seconds.

Removed broken parts, one with screwdriver, other by releasing from post. Had to reset post with screwdriver so top of handle would sit flush with top of door. Because the post screw was not set properly the first time, undue stress was caused at the top of the handle, where the break occurred.

The first step was to get the wire rack out of the freezer, which seemed to be permanent until I completely dismantled it with the nippers. Then I used a Phillips head screwdriver to take out the ice maker. Now the back of the fridge is clear to be opened. Just push down on the top of the round part while squeezing in at the sides and pull toward yourself. There is the fan (which was not connected in my case hence the rattling). Push new fan into place and connect pin... Total time 30 minutes to one hour. Except that it took two months for the fan to come in on back order... And the fan has a clip on it, so the extra clip was completely useless.

plugged the two wires in and snapped the switch into it's socket.

poped the fan cover off slipped the new blade on - could not believe how fast we recieved the part

unscrewed the old one! installed the new one! That simple. And I'm female, how easy was that!

Had to remove the ice-maker (also easier than trying to work inside the freezer letting all the cold air out). A few mounting screws and an electrical connection in the back. After it was out you will need to remove the cover (not the superficial cover that just pries off) where the gear is behind it, just far enough so you can get the mounting tabs on the ice-stripper in. In order to to move this cover out, after removing the screws (the obvious), you'll need needle nose pliers to ever so slightly squeeze the plastic clips together that hold the plastic movable bracket and the metal ice level arm/switch, so it will pop out. Once you have room to put the ice stripper in, it should just all snap back together, then proceed in reverse to put it all back together.

No instructions with part. Found a picture on line and changed the arm, but it didn't fix the problem. Fairly easy after figured out what needed to be done to get to the part.

Super simplet to fix. Popped out broken light switch and unplugged it and replaced with new switch. Received the part one day after ordering it from your company--AWESOME SERVICE AND TURNAROUND TIME!!! Saved at least $100 plus in repair costs/trip charge for something we were able to do. Great experience and would order from your company again. Thank you!
