MFI2067AES Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

This is the second time I have had to replace the right side pantry cap, and have replaced the left side once. The pins on the end caps are flimsy plastic and it doesn't take much for them to break off. That said, the part arrived two days after I ordered it. A 1/4" nutdriver is all you need to replace it. Take the storage bins above the pantry out and the glass cover and support bars over the pantry out. There are two or three 1/4" bolts holding the pantry end cap in place. The right side pantry cap is connected to a sliding mechanism to open the air/temperature control opening on the the interior back wall of the refrigerator. This long piece on the back has a small tab that inserts in a slot at the left side. After removing the bolts, remove the pantry cap and the air control mechanism as one piece. Use the nutdriver to remove the metal drawer slides from the broken cap and transfer to the new cap. Carefully work the plastic sliding mechanism from the backside of the end cap to remove it and the temperature control lever from the front of the end cap. A little patience, prying and turning of the pieces to remove them is required. Transfer to the new end cap in the reverse manner. Reinsert temperature control into slot at back and bolt the end cap back into place.

I order a bare crisper frame, no glass, no slider controls. The old frame lifted out easily. I did not realize the glass top is not glued in, because food drippings had it somewhat stuck in place. But only somewhat - I almost dropped the glass when I turned the frame over. Once the glass was out, I removed the humidity sliders by gently lifting one end so I could slide them to a place where they lifted off. (Look for the notch-outs.) Then I put the parts in the new frame and put it back in the frig.

After unplugging the refrigerator, I removed the lower rear access panel that exposed the condenser and the overload/relay start capacitor with 1/4" nut driver (6 total). Next, I unplugged the wire harness and spring loaded keeper with needle nose pliers. Then I pulled the overload/relay start capacitor out of the 3 pronged male receptor located on the side of the condenser and plugged in the new one. Replaced the keeper, plugged the harness back in, and replaced the panel. Very easy fix.

Got the main bolts off and unplugged and removed the ice maker. Had to remove all parts and rebuild it on the new mold. Was more complex than I thought but was able to get it done. Note where everything was as you take it off and you'll do fine.

The replacement itself was as easy as it gets. What made it harder was the need to remove the white plastic cover from the old drawer. Although some said it was easy, ours was a bit of a challenge. The video was helpful, in letting us know to start at the bottom when removing the cover. After that, pretty easy. No tools required.

As described in many of the previous peoples instructions. Upon removal of the end cap I did have to take the air controller apart and clean it. Apparently there was spillage we didn't know about until i took all the pieces apart. After cleaning, the items worked fine. I reinstalled and am back in business. All I had to do was remove the end cap screws and also the drawer slide screws. I replaced the door slide on the new end cap, replaced the cooler arms and then re-screwed the new end cap in place. Simple..Because of cleaning, time ran to about 30 minutes.

After locating and ordering the part on this web site, it arrived in LESS THAN 24 hours. First remove the pantry drawer and the crisper drawers and their glass shelves in order to have room to work. The old part was secured with only 2 of the 3 available screws (cost savings or sloppy assembly) using a 1/4" nutdriver. The next tricky part is removing the entire right pantry end cap which at that point still includes the temperature control slider. This is done by carefully rotating the front of the assembly towards the center of the refrigerator. There is a tab at the rear which will come loose as you rotate. You don't have to force anything. Once you have the whole thing out on a table, carefully remove the slider assembly, noting how it comes apart. A quick picture may help you. Do not force anything or you will have to buy more parts. Use a screwdriver to remove the drawer slide and attach it to the new pantry end cap. Replace the slider parts onto the new pantry cap in the same order that you removed them. To replace the assembly, first insert the tab into the back of the refrigerator, then rotate the assembly back towards the right side. Finally, replace the attachment screws. Be sure to clean everything while it is out. If it is like ours there were lots of drips and crumbs.

Unplugged appliance. Using a small putty knife I moved the switch out far enough to grab it with pliers. Moved wiring to new switch and pushed into place after testing.

After plugging in the new relay to no avail. I replaced the thermostat. That fixed the problem.

The parts arrived as expected, and well packed. Replacing the crisper drawer was, obviously, easy--just switch the food over and slide it in. The pantry end cap had a broken peg on the hinge cover, so wouldn't open properly without falling off. It was a little more involved, with a total of 5 screws, but I followed the instructions and video already posted on this website, and had no trouble! Gave me a good excuse to wipe down the inside of the fridge. Both repairs plus the cleaning took me about 25 minutes.

I removed the cover panel. There is a clip that holds the relay and capacitor to the pump. Use a screwdriver to pry it off. Unplug the relay. The capacitor is plugged into the relay and they come together which was a surprise, I thought I only ordered the relay. Unplug a cable from the relay. Insert that cable into the new relay and plug it into the compressor. Reattach the clip. One be important instruction. Unplug the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before installation to allow the compressor to cool down. I tried first without allowing the compressor to cool and it did not work. After letting it cool I tried again and it worked like charm. Make sure the refrigerator is unplugged when doing the repair

Followed video instructions online.
