JFC2089HES Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

initial research suggested that relay is common failure point -opened back panel and found that relay was "truly smoked" - black soot came out when I removed it and shook it also checked that the compressor itself wasnt damaged using the resistance check across pins and also from pin to outer cover - determined that the compressor seemed OK and fault likely isolated to relay - - overload cap seemed to be ok - but decided to replace entire unit (relay and cap) - ordered on partselect.com - video showing how easy repair was very helpful - replaced it - and DONE!

1. Viewed the video furnished (very helpful) 2. Turned off circuit breaker (avoids having to move the refrigerator), took my chances and left the water on 3. Removed the ice bin 4. Removed bottom retention screw, loosened the top two screws 5. Lifted the old ice maker free of top two screws 6. Used the bright flashlight to see how to release the rear electrical connection 7. Placed old unit on toweling, removed the electrical harness, the bail and the lower retention offset bracket (needed because the Kenmore's bottom retention is toward the center of the ice maker) and reinstalled them on new unit, taking care to maintain the original harness clip method 8. Carried the new unit to the refrig and installed the rear harness connector, then lifted it to mount on the top screws, forced it down to correct position, installed lower screw and tightened all three. 9. Placed bail in 'Operate' position, Installed bin and turned on the power. 10. Next morning, success!

Removed both vegetable and fruit drawers, removed glass that sits on top of the pantry drawer, drawer lid and drawer. Unscrewed the left and right side pantry end caps. Careful with the right side end cap, it is connected to a air regulator on the back wall of the refrigerator. Took it off slowly to pay attention to how it came off and not to break anything. Unscrewed the slide rail's off the broken end caps and screwed them on to the new pieces. The left end cap screwed in with three screws and your done! The right end cap needed the air regulator clipped on and then gently snapped the slider in place, screwed the end cap on. I did notice there is a small tab that the end cap mounts evenly on close to the front of the refrigerator wall. Backed out the two screws lined up the end cap with the tab, screwed in the three screws. Put the pantry drawer, glass, lid, vege & fruit drawers back and it was done.

Removed fill tube and replaced it with new.

Told Wife To Watch The Instructional Movie, Got Me A Beer And Watched Football. She Finished In about Thirty Minutes.Good Job

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.

removed the back cover unplugged the unit removed the old fan blades installed the new easy to pull off and easy to install

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.

It was greqat to find this part so easily and to be able to buy just the glass shelf without added hardware. When it arrived, I just unpacked it, washed it and put it into its place in the refrigerator. Much easier than the cleanup of the shattered glass :-)

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.

I simply watched the repair video and did it! Super easy, needed start device and capacitor. As easy as unplugging the old and adding the new. The video helped and gave me confidence. Wives can fix fridges too! Saved me $2500. Looks like I'll need a new excuse if I want a new fridge.

removed several screws and the drawer track and installed new end panel

took the fridge door off, took off old part that didn't work, replaced with new metal door stop (small part). Perfect-o problem solved with a $5 part! Customer Service here was AWESOME! THANK YOU! WILL SHOP HERE AGAIN.

It was easy and quick. Instructions online worked well.

I had to remove the drawer guide from the side piece with a philips head screw driver. Then remove the entire side cap. You nthen have to remove the temperature adjustment guide and the guides that attach to keep it in place. Reinstall thpieces on the side cap slide it back in place then replace the drawer guides and your done.
