Touchpad stopped working
Maytag PS12349472 CNTRL-ELEC W11221359
If you can fix things around the house, you can do this!
First, try resetting the touchpad by unplugging the refrigerator electrical cord for about 10 seconds, then plug it back in and try the touchpad. If it starts working you don’t need to replace it yet.
If it doesn’t work, order the replacement touchpad and install it as follows. The one I ordered came with the low power control panel (#13). This repair takes about 30-45 minutes depending how much elbow grease is required to clean the old touchpad’s adhesive off the front panel. Read all the steps below first before attempting this repair.
Step 1. Unplug refrigerator electrical cord.
Step 2. Remove drip tray (#14) and remove two screws with nutdriver.
Step 3. Remove front panel (#11).
Step 4. Disconnect low power control board (#13) from all wiring harnesses.
Step 5. Remove low power control board (#13) from front panel (#11).
Step 6. Remove touchpad (#12) from front panel (#11).
Step 7. Clean adhesive completely from front panel (#11).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE ABRASIVES - use appropriate solvent (e.g. rubbing alcohol, Goo-Gone, Krud Kutter, etc.) to remove adhesive completely from front panel (#11) - DO NOT USE ABRASIVES.
Step 8. Mount new low power control board (#13) on front panel (#11).
Step 9. Very carefully align and mount new touchpad (#12) on front panel (#11).
IMPORTANT: Pull new touchpad wiring harness all the way through the opening to the back of the front panel (#11) before exposing the new touchpad’s (#12) adhesive backing. Mount new touchpad (#12) exactly where the old one used to be.
Step 10. Reconnect all wiring harnesses to low power control board (#13).
Step 11. Mount front panel (#11), install two screws with nudriver, and drip tray (#14) back on refrigerator.
Step 12. Plug in refrigerator and check operation of new touchpad (#12).

Both compartments of the refrigerator were warm.
We came home from a long vacation to discover a warm refrigerator with its contents in various stages of decay.

Turning the freezer thermostat to its warmest setting then back to cold generated clicks, and after a few tries the compressor started and cooled the refrigerator to its normal cold temperatures. But… later the compressor again failed to start, and everything warmed back up again. With persistence and turning the thermostat up and down several times a day, we could keep the fridge cold.

It was time to order parts. We needed a new start relay and capacitor for the compressor. For our Amana ARB2214CW a start relay (WP12555902) and capacitor (WP65889-4) were listed on the first page of the Partselect parts list for my refrigerator. I ordered them, received them, removed the old capacitor and start relay (which rattled when shaken). and prepared to install my new parts. The new start relay did not match the old. The old start relay fit my wiring which had a single plug with two small female spade connectors in the plug. The new start relay required wiring with two separate female spade connectors; one the normal size and one larger. Phone calls to Partselect and to Westinghouse shed no light on the discrepancy. On the second page of the Partselect parts list was a combination of a start relay and a capacitor (W10613606) that matched my electrical connector. I could see the connection in the photograph. I ordered it and it fit. Easy peazy. That fixed the compressor start problem. Every time the freezer thermostat clicked on, the compressor started. Success.

But… from our troubleshooting we now had a thermometer the freezer, and it was obvious that the temperature difference between the cold point where the thermostat turned the compressor off and the warm point where the thermostat restarted the compressor was much too wide. In addition, the knob was hard to turn and was sticky as it turned. Oiling it fixed the sticky knob problem but not the wide temperature difference problem. I ordered a new freezer thermostat (WP67003000), received it, installed it, and all is now fine with my refrigerator. The new thermostat was physically a little different from the original, but it fit and worked.

I returned the first compressor start relay and capacitor and received a refund including the shipping charge.

This is almost embarassing but you asked....
Once the part arrived, which was very quickly BTW..all I had to do was remove the old filter and then just screw the new one into place....Now I just happen to be both female and blonde but was able to get the job done in less than 15 minutes (that includes opening the box) and with very little water dripping from the old filter!!! Looks like I could work as the Maytag repair woman soon!!

Boyfriends freezer door wouldn’t shut completely
I got really tired of taking food out covered in icicles and stabbing a huge block of ice out of the bottom. Turns out all he needed was a little wheel with cogs and I looked up the sticker model number on this site and clicked the part of the fridge. So simple, wish I would’ve done it sooner.
