GZ2727GEHB Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

Disconnected power to frig.
Had to wait for "ice block to defrost in ice bin and enclosure before removal. Caused by water from a frozen water tube overflowing into bin. This in turn "locked" the screw in place causing the motor to break from its mount on enclosure when trying to get ice.
Removed broken enclosure,one screw on left side and lift out leaving motor hanging. Disconnected wiring marking where they would reattach removed other part from enclosure. Unsnapped wiring harness from back wall.
Removed yoke from motor. Easier than I thought . A light tap with a hammer (right side with yoke facing you) it spun right off.
Attached wiring to parts and then installed parts to enclosure. Tapped yoke with hammer again. Repositioned encloser and from under reached up and plugged in the harness into the back wall.
Mounted encluser and ice maker.
Ice maker is up and running.
Will pay more attention when screw is bound up and not from blocked dispenser.
Thanks for Part and How to section..

Replaced filter with by-pass plug. For some reason though, ice maker does no longer functions, although there is flow out of the cold water tap. Is the design of the bypass plug such that, when installed, it impedes flow to the ice-maker?

Thanks

Replace the refrigerator lightbulb while traveling 88 mph then turned on the flux capacitor being carful not to get stuck in a worm hole. This allows you to fix the problem before it starts to go bad.

Took a putty knife and
Removed the old switch removed the spade terminals from the old switch and replaced them on the new switch and just pushed the new switch back in place

I watched your online video on how to take out the old filter, and then to replace it with the new filter. It was as easy as on the video. Thanks!

Viewed the repair video. Removed covering. Replaced limit switch, control board, and solenoid. Very easy repair!

Once I identified the bit that would remove the screw, the rest of the repair took 5 minutes. I removed the screw and discarded the remains of the original but now broken shelf support. With the same screw I simply attached the new shelf support that I received from PartSelect.com. End of story.

First I removed the 1 screw holding the Ice Enclosure in place. The enclosure would then pull out. However the wire in back was plugged in and you could not see how the female plug was locked to the male plug. By squeezing the top and bottom edges of the plug you will release the lock and plug will release with a pull.
Then I removed the unit from fridge.
after removing the 8 screws holding the motor and other fixture, I tried to install in replacement enclosure.
unfortunately, the u-drive that is attached to the gear box shaft and is used to turn the Ice despincer worm, was on so tight I could not remove it. (tried everything)
I then took a Dremal tool with disc cutter and where the shaft hole is I cut a rectangular hole large enough for the u-drive to fit through. Be careful not to cut the plastic braces behind the panel.
The motor and gear box then fits in the slots and you can screw in place.
Note: the green ground wire and red wire are tape together. the ground wire to gorund a red wire to closest terminal. White wire to terminal on bottom.
Slid unit part way back in freezer, reach in back and connect plug. (only connects one way)
Then slide rest of the way in, insert screw to hold in place. Good Luck, mine works great.

removed three nuts from the top of the door diconected the electrical connections for the ice and water in the door. Removed door by lifting it up about 2 inches, set it aside put new hinge pieces in placed put everything back together. writing this took more time. wanted to add, bought at 2 pm on thursday was at my house by 10am the next day

At first I thought I had ordered the wrong bracket but all I had to do was push it up and pull down and it snapped right in place. If a 71 year old lady can do this any body can do it. Thank you for the fast service.

It is the model with the french door. I unplugged it, removed two screws at the bottom of the door, while holding the door from sliding down. Removed the door and put it on its side. Removed one screw that was holding the hinge, removed the hinge and replaced it with the new one. Put the door back on (do not forget to reinstall the shims).
Did the same thing on the other door. After putting the door back on readjusted the height to level the door, using height adjustment screw. Lock the door in place. It now works better then new

Thought this repair would be easy, but it turned out to be a bit difficult. I started removing the gasket screws with a 1/4" nutdriver from the top to about halfway down the sides. I soaked the new gasket in hot water for about 15 minutes to make it "pliable" and get rid of the "wrinkling". It did not work. I had a heat gun for backup to smooth out the wrinkles. Only worked slightly better. Things are going smoothly until I run in to a little plastic clip by the door handle. It holds the gasket in place while you place two screws on the short run. It was very hard to remove this plastic pin. I ended up having to loosen the top screws so that I could get leverage to remove the pin and put it in the new gasket. Added a half hour to the job. Worked the rest of the gasket on the door. I continued down the sides and to the bottom. It left me with a lot of play so I loosen the sides again and started from the bottom back up to the sides. It is best to start at the bottom and work back up the sides. Having finished, I am hoping for a tight seal. It has some wrinkles that I hope will work themselves out. If not, I may have to use the heat gun again. Make sure you work slowly and have plenty of patience.

The biggest problem I had was finding how to remove the old broken support. I did a google search and found the answer on your web page, grab it with pliers and rotate it 90 degrease then pull straight out. Installing the new one was even easier just do the reverse.

Simply cut the water tube on both sides of connector and push in the new one.

Instructions were great five minutes to remove and replace fan....Thank You............ saved big money
