JCD2290HES Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

Pulled out old switch with needle nose pliers, unplugged old switch and plugged in the new one and snapped back into place. Very easy to repair. Took less than 10 minutes

You just take the back panel off (8 screws with hex heads), disconnect one wire harness, pull off the relay, and push on the new one. Easy peasy. Getting the wires off was the only tricky part, they clip in place so you have to pry the retaining clip loose. Unfortunately, it turns out our compressor is shot so replacing the relay did not fix the problem.

My 8 year old Maytag side-by-side started having a buzzing sound coming from the compressor area that lasted around 8 to 10 seconds which was followed by a "click" sound. It would repeat every 3 minutes or so. From what I read, the Overload/Relay with Start Capacitor was the likely culprit. I got it replaced tonight but unfortunately, the same problem is occurring. The downside is I likely have a bad compressor (not worth replacing after cost of parts and labor) and wasted $60 on the Overload/Relay with Start Capacitor. Partselect's service though I would say is top notch. I received the part within two days of placing the order and my order confirmation email even had a link to a youtube video detailing the installation. That was very helpful. I just wish I was looking at a $60 fix vs a grand for a new fridge! Oh well, live and learn....and no more Maytag.

Once I received the new icemaker, I removed the old one by loosening the two upper screws and removing the lower. The wire connector came out easily. The wire and the bale from the old unit had to be transferred to the new unit. Then the new unit was reinstalled and the wire plugged back in. It took several hours for the cubes to begin dropping.

replaced it with a new grille, no tools were required. Thank you for your help.

The DIY video was very handy and precise to every visual detail needed for anyone to do their very own repair. It doesn't get any better than that.

I was very pleased with the entire experience. The part was easy to locate on the web site, it arrived very quickly and you sent a how-to video.

So cool that you approached me for an update. I noticed that the nipples on the filter head/ receiver were worn down. So I ordered a new filter head/ receiver with hose and installed on my own for like $45. It's working like new now and I am happy I didn't pay $200 for a repairman. It made my wife happy...happy wife = a happy life! Cheers from Santa Cruz, CA.

I had watched my handyman take the old auger out realign it so I knew pretty much what to do, that adjustment did not work so I had to order new auger. Problem was lining up the screw holes, metal to ice box, just did not want to work. After about an hour of trying realized that the nylon grooves t the bottom could be slid in from each side after the holes were matched--hard to explain. Being female seems to take us longer to think this out.

Unplugged refrigerator and truned off water supply. I then removed old ice maker by first removing screw holding mounting bracket with 1/4 inch nut driver. Then I carefully pulled up and out on the ice maker to remove it from mounting brackets on the side of unit. Once free, I was able to access the wiring harness in the back and remove it from the unit by compressing the clips and gently pulling with an even pressure. Now that the old ice maker was detached I took it to my counter and removed the on/off switch rocker bar and wiring harness. I attached these two pieces to the new ice maker. I then plugged the wiring harness back into unit and lined up the mounting brackets on the side wall and did a reverse tilt to downward pressure onto brackets until they clicked in securely. The last step was to screw in the mounting bracket with nut driver. Turned on water line and plugged machine back in. It took about an hour and a half before it produced its first harvest of ice, but has been working like a charm since.

Watch the video on the sight and that was almost all I really needed. The only thing I would add is that it took me some time to get the drawer freezer door off. Lift the front straight up. Don't pull the door slides out.

It was very easy, just unscrew old filter and screw in the new filter. Reset the warning light, and done. Ralph Mason, 403 Sundance Lane, Georgetown, TX 78633

Refrigerator completely quit due to suspected power surge as a result of daily afternoon thunderstorms. Quit means compressor would not run, LED temperature controls would not light, but fan continued working. First, replaced Start Relay & Capacitor located attached to compressor. This was successful and compressor immediately started. However, Refrigerator controls at Electronic Control Board (ECB)failed to light up indicating no control over over unit. Replaced ECB and unit lit up and control established. The Start Relay & Capacitor are slightly difficult to find as they are black in color and merge into the base of the compressor. It helps to be flexible to remove and replace this unit due to it's difficult location. The ECB is easy to access as it is top inside front behind lights of unit. Plastic housing simply unsnaps for easy removal. Instructions do not tell you to make sure that you re-install the upper narrower control board with press pins toward outside of control face. A simple item but easily overlooked as one has to "pull" at the connecting cable of the two control boards. Success finally after three days. Parts Select was great and item shipped quickly. As a contractor, one can usually figure cost of job at three times the cost of the part. This repair would have approached $600. Cost of parts was $200. Savings were substantial and would recommend DIY provided you have time.

Emptied the freezer into a cooler, shut off power to the appliance, pulled the drawer and rack from the freezer. Removed the fan cover, the back panel (had a little trouble with the ice maker plug and the thermistor cover). Replaced the fan, turned on power to check operation and reassembled.

Did not buy the grummets for the fan. Reused the old ones, but recommend ordering them with the fan kit (PN 67002780).
