GT2127PIEW Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

The plastic fill cup part is also used to hold one end of the wire “one/off” switch that is manually activated or activated when the ice tray is full. This wire piece fell out because one end, that is part of the plastic fill cup, broke off. The wire switch was fine.

The video demos show you exactly what to do. The repair man showed me a trick to speed up the testing process. The trick is to insert a wire jumper cable to actuate the ice maker and make it rotate. But this isn’t necessary.

Hardest part of this fix is emptying the freezer (bottom with a slide out door) and removing the door.

Why this part is so expensive is beyond me. But I’m happy it was available for a 24yo fridge that still works!!

I removed the tabs and/or their pieces that had broken off the shelf from the slots where they hung.
Replaced shelf with the new one I purchased on line and tapped it into place using a folded dish towel placed on top of the shelf and gently tapping it into place.
What did we do before the internet and part select.com? Thanks for your services.

Pried out old part with screwdriver. Unplugged. When new part came, just plugged it in and pushed the part into place.

I removed the ice catcher from the excellent packaging, rinsed it, and placed it on the counter next to the fridge. I opened the door the the freezer and placed the ice catcher under the icemaker. I lowered the arm on the icemaker and closed the door to the freezer. Then I opened the door to fridge, took out a Guinness, popped the top, and sat down to savor my success.

Removed damaged piece and installed new one. Took less than 5 minutes.

I just popped out the old switch with a flat head screwdriver. Removed the connections and then installed new switch by reversing steps. Popped in back in and the light went on.

bulbs were not burnt out. received the new switch in a few days. watch the short video, was good to see how it comes out. used a putty knife to release the defective switch, removed wires put them on the new one and posed the new switch back in. Not bad Part cost $11.00 7 dollars shipping so for 17 bucks it works great. nice to see what is inside the refer!

We looked up the problem online with the model number of the refrigerator. We ordered the part and followed the video installation that was sent with the order and was found online prior to purchasing

My youngest was having a little fit over my refusal to let her have some snack or other, and she yanked on the shelf hard enough that it cracked right off.

Because the shelf is of such narrow depth, it didn't seem like it would matter much that it was missing. However, we discovered over the course of the year that it indeed held quite a bit. Those displace items now had to take up valuable space in the main body of the fridge, and with a family full of young kids, there is no room to spare.

PartsSelect was the first hit google gave me when I looked for a replacement. I could not believe how easy the search was - I put in the relevant info on the website, it showed me the part I needed, and I placed my order. Thanks!!!!

Nothing to it. I unpackaged the item. Cleaned it and placed in refrigerator. Great!

Dealing with your company was a breeze. From start to finish. Thank you for the transation from start to finish.

Eased the putty knife under the edge of the switch housing and pried it off. Pulled two wires off the old terminals and hooked them onto the new one and reinstalled into the refrigerator body.

I removed the old one and replaced with the new one. The right side one was quite easy whereas the left one took a longer time.

There was three screws to remove to unmout the ice maker, and unplug the wire harness,then two to remove to slip in new stripper. All took about 20 mins.

At first I went to a local part supplier and they didn't have it in stock but could order it for me for $55.00 plus $10.00 to ship it. I told them I would have to think about it. I went home and got on the computer and found your web site and was I shocked when I saw the same part listed for $6.98 and $7.00 to ship it. You guys saved me $50.00. The part arrived in two day and took 5 min. to install. I now have light in my refrigerator. Thank you.

Removed screws securing the inner door compartment, installed new gasket on door compartment and reinstalled inner door compartment.
