BX22S5W (P1196701W W) Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

i order one part and i received a totally different, because i was not the same from the one it was at the picture when i was checking the evaporator fans you have available..i have to meke a lot of adaptations but at the last refrigerator start working fine.

I removed the screws,took off the old gasket,washed the inside door, fit the new gasked on and put the screws back in. I was quite surprised that it was so easy. my husband was hesident so I watched the video on your web site and did it.He was more surprised than I was. I 1st did the frezer gasket (that was wadded up letting out cold air) and while doing it I noticed the refrig gasket was broken so I ordered the 2nd Gasket and did it also.

After disconnecting the electricity. I followed the instructions as indicated in the "HOW TO" article on the website. I used a steel putty knife and pried the light switch out of its retaining hole. I worked the right side the most since this is the side with the retaining clip. After I removed the switch I transferred the two electrical outlets to the new switch and easily snapped it into place. Engaged the electric power and tested the switch.

very easy

I pried the old one out with a screw driver and pushed the new one in. I expected instructions in the box it came in but there were none.

My owners manual said to unplug fridge from elec outlet, use a kitchen knife to gently pry off the switch plate
(manual had a pictoral example), unclip the two wire, replace with on new switch and replace the switch. Close
door and plug back in. Open door to check that the lite
works. Walla! It did. Thanks!

Put handle on without the color insert.

best advice was to not remove the screws holding the gasket in, but just to loosen them. Old gasket easily removed. Most difficult part was getting the new gasket in at the corners. Using a plastic spatula helped as did tightening up some of the screws once a corner was fitted (so it would not pop out as you moved on to the next corner.

Slid the new one into place. The only issue was refastening the plastic holders into which the shelf slid. Once I figured out how they reattached, it was no problem.

Pulled out the refrigerator and removed the two panels from the rear of the refrigerator. Removed the fan held in by four screws and unplugged the connector. Soldered on the original connector, installed the fan to the motor and re-installed the unit into the refrigerator. Then blew out and vaccumed the condenser coils.

Past experiences told me it was the defrost timer. Turned the timer wheel, the compressor came on and that told me the timer wasn't working correctly. I ordered the timer and put it in.

removed old handle - 2 screws
switched insert into new handle - 4 screws
replaced with new handle - 2 screws

Emptied the contents of the freezer
Removed the panel covering the coils and fan
Since I suspected the thermostat, I removed it and tested for continuity. When it was constantly "open" I decided it was defective, and ordered a new one from PartSelect.
As an interim fix, I connected together the two wires that had been attached to the thermostat, so the fan ran constantly.
When the part arrived, I connected it, replaced the cover panel and monitored the temperature for a day to verify that it maintained below freezing.

unscrewed the old handle and put 2 screws in the new one. Only took about a minute

I ordered the defrost timer and then read a couple of repair history stories. The timer was fairly easy to install. Then I advanced the small knob until I felt a "click". The covers were reinstalled inside the freezer. And the appliance is normal. Plug and Play. I learned that the timer is for the activation of a heater in or under the freezer"s aluminum fin assembly. Alot of folks don"t know that a refrigerator gets it"s supply of cold air from the freezing compartment. Everybody is happy. Thanks
