MFD2561HES Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

took old one out installed new turn left out turn right in

I pulled out the pantry drawer, the two crisper drawers above, and the glass shelf and supports.
I used a 1/2" nutdriver to take out 3 nuts and then reused them to put in the new pieces. Save your existing hardware since new nuts were not supplied. This was so easy! The right one was a little more challenging because of the temperature control. Take a minute to see how it works when you take it off the old one. That will help you recreate it on the new one.
I am a fairly handy woman. I did ask one of my guy friends to help me find the right tool to use.
This was really easy. I think the original design is cheap and poorly done, especially considering how much we paid for this fridge.

I went on line looking for information on Amana Icemakers. Found a number of good sources,how to videos.Using the trouble shooting information I found and the how to videos and Parts Select part search to select the replacement icemaker needed for my Amana that was purchased in 1993.Rolled the frig out changed the leads on the water valve. hit the water dispenser and water went into the ice tray: Water valve good.Did a pre-teardown. Unplug Frig.removed ice bucket. removed three sheet metal screws making it easy to rotate ice maker and unplug the power/control cable. Old ice maker out ready to install new one. New icemaker arrives take ice bucket out, transfer on/off bail from old icemaker to new one attach power cable and in about thirty minutes icemaker is bolted in, fill tube in place and prefill ice tray to start the process. In afew hours we were making ice. pitched the first two harvests.Its working like a champ. Have plenty of ice. Very happy with the whole process.

Remove the glass shelve and the lower drawers. Remove the support rods front and back. Remove three screws from the end cap. Replace end cap and replace all other parts in order. Reattach the drawer cover by putting in one side and then bending the pivot slightly to insert the otheer side.

I pulled out the slide out drawer the shelf on top of it too a nutdriver and remove the broken panel while the daughter-in-law cleaned out the drawers. popped the new back in a srewed it back. It was so easy I could not believe it. I am 65 and a woman!!! I was done way before my daughter-in-law was finished cleaning. LOVED IT!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this wonder website. Barbara from lake worth,fl

Replaced evaporator motor

Side by side refrigerators are tough to get two arms inside the freezer side (and do much work) especially to unlatch the power connect. The water tube on this old refrigerator feeds from the back so I took a pair of kitchen shears and made a new opening in the back of the catch basin. Sealed the original opening. Don't know if that was necessary. The video was a big help for this parts change. Much easier than expected. G Keen

Pulled out the meat tray drawer and crispers above and removed the sheet of glass between them. Removed the nuts holding the old pantry end cap and replaced with the new one. Replaced glass, crispers, and meat tray drawer. Very quick and easy. Delivery was unbelievably fast.

Thank you PartSelect. Ordered the replacement icemaker for our Amana refigerator, watched the installation video on PartSelect.com. Followed the instructions, took 15 minutes, works like new. Couldn't have been easier.

This refrigerator is one of our company refrigerators and takes a beating. The center rail that holds the drawers had been broken. The repair was as simple as sliding the broken rail out and sliding the new on in place. It was as easy as it gets.

Removed the chiller level and ice bin exposing the icemaker assembly.
Unplugged the icemaker assembly electrical connecter.
Used the nut driver to remove three screws that fasten the icemaker assembly to the refrigerator side wall and angle bracket.
Removed Ice tray assembly.
Reversed the steps to install the new icemaker.
Cured the problem.

I used a nut driver to remove the screws and took out both right and left end caps and put in the new ones it was so easy I couldn't believe it.

took out the old cover. then put in the new one! Easy as that. Thank you.

It took longer to remove the crispers than it took to replace the part.
The parts drawing was easy and your service was really quick.
Thank you

Researched your web site - determined best bet was to replace the ice maker unit. Ordered the new ice maker and believe it it or not it was here in 3 days and installed EXACTLY as it was stated. Frankly it was a snap and was easier than ever expected. Thanks
