GC2227HEK3 Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

As per instructions to replace filter

I used a knife blade to slip under the edge of old switch to pray it out of the hole it was inserted into, switched the wires and replaced the new switch into the same hole. It took about five minutes!

The problem had occurred twice before and the metal auger could no longer be reliably forced back into alignment with its end cap. It was time for a replacement. I opted to replace the entire auger assembly including the crusher blade - a total of three individual parts in this assembly. With the Amana model and serial number in hand, I logged into PartSelect and found the ice maker part(s) in the fridge schematic diagram. I ordered the assembly which arrived early. It is easy to disassemble. Remove the ice drawer from the freezer, minus the ice, and place it upside down on a work surface. You only have to remove four screws; the two on the front bottom of the ice drawer and the two screws holding the little L-shaped brackets that receive those two bottom screws. Tip: To avoid any confusion during reassembly, just take a picture of each step of your disassembly. You can do it Noonan.

I snapped the cover plate to the filter open. Pulled the filter down and twisted counter clock wise to take filter out. I installed the new filter in by inserting the filter and tuning clock wise to secure the filter. I flushed the water for about two minutes and then allowed it to be put back into service.

Take filter out of the box and open the refrigerator. Open the housing in the frig that holds the filter and twist the light-blue piece 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise. (Put the light-blue piece in a safe place.) Take foil away from filter. With 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction, twist the filter into its position. Let five gallons run through the system to get fresh, filtered water.

Simply replaced cover by hand. No tools required.
