GZ2626GEKS Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

There were 23 parts to be removed in order to replace part. So I printed out a diagram of the parts off the computer and the labled each part on the diagram with its name. I laid them all out in order and patiently re-assembled the ice maker. When finished, I gave a cheer!

Using the hair dryer I heated the facade to make it easier to remove. Peeled the facade way from it's mounting surface. Using the sharped putty knife and some WD-40 I removed the remaining "glue". Before removing the "backing I made sure that it fit correctly to area it was to be applied to. Once that was done I removed the "backing" and carefully applied the facadeusing a crdiet card to smooth it out and insure that they weren't any air bubbles. It is important to be careful in removing the glue from the surfaces of the buttons as they are not held in place very securely. Once the faced is applied correctly and smoothed out the surface protecatnt must be peeled fromt he out surface of the facade. It took me about 20 minutes.The dispencer sump tray was simply removed and replaced.

Refrigerator was not cold.

I had this problem before and it was the control vale in the back of the refrigerator. I ordered it and change that out in 5 minutes. That wasn’t the problem. I had the repairman come over and within 5 minutes he told me what the problem was. He showed me where the control board was. He then walked me through the removal process.

First remove the light cover on the Freezer & Refrigerator in front where the light button is located. Pull down on the front of the light cover. It pops out.

Second, in the front of the freezer & refrigerator temp control panel put your fingertips in front of the panel and pull down it’s hard to get the pins to release but the front pins will release, then pull down a little to allow the back hooks to release. (You can use a small common screwdriver if you can’t get it with your fingertips).

Next, once the panel is removed then disconnect the wiring harness. Then bring the panel to the counter, this is where you remove the circuit card and replace it. There are 4 hooks that hold the circuit board in place. Use a small common screwdriver to push the hooks away from the board. The new board comes as one piece. The board is perforated to allow you to snap the board. Directions come with the board and how to snap it. You will need to pay attention on how you removed the board. You will need to put the new board in the same way it came out.

Once the board is re-installed and lock into position reverse the process and install the control panel back into position.

Next is the programing of the board. Follow the directions that come with the control board and you will be back in business

This task took about 15 minutes to remove & replace and to program.

Popped out the old one......plugged in the new one and popped it back into place. My wife was happy in have light again in the fridge!

Used a heat gun peeled off the old façade. Upon inspection 2 of the buttons were broken pushed through. I used black electrical tape and a dab of gorilla glue to fix the buttons, Stuck the new façade over it and it works great. The only problem I placed the tape over the LED lights for 2 buttons. Now we listen for the click instead of looking for the light.

Initially thought I could repair switch, but then discovered spring was broken. Ordered the new switch (Parts Select is very efficient - received switch in 3 days). Was encouraged by the posts regarding the switch installation. I had some difficulty removing the old switch. Used a pocket knife to ease the switch out of the hole to reveal the clip/spring. After noting the clip/spring location I used a small flat-blade screwdriver to release the clip. Even though I released the "molded" clip/spring(be sure to note where the spring is on the new switch and release it on the switch it was tight in the hole and had to use pliers to carefully remove the old switch. After removing the old switch, used pliers to gently remove the wire leads. Then install the leads on the new switch. Note the orientation for replacing the switch and gently feed the connecting wires into the hole so they won't kink or prevent the switch from entering the hole. Install the switch noting the clip/spring location and the orientation of the lever that the door closes on to turn off the light. Be sure to put it in without binding at an angle. Thanks to Parts Select for this service! I'll definitely be back.
