MFI2569VEM10 Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed end cap (2) screws transferred drawer slide(2) screws put in the new part.

The unit is 14 months old. Our last unit was 10 years old and what a difference in quality (thickness of plastic parts) with the new unit. This part should not have broke with respect to age and two older (50-55 year old) users. This site was great, withour it I would not have attempted the repair. To see illustrations to help with each step save me I would bet at least a hundred dollars if not more. Simple tool and this site made this a very easy repair. I listed 30-60 minutes, that time also included removing each piece and cleaning before reinstalling. Everything seems to be made so flimsy (sp) this is maytag's ice2o. We paid over $2300. 00 For the unit. Iy works great and keeps food so much better than our previous ge profile fridge. But the ge was built so much more heavy duty than this ice2o. Really sad that it had to be repaired so early in it's life. The ge was repaired the first time after ten years of use, and only a door part, a cam that helps to close it with just a touch. Thanks to everyone who supports and adds to this site, it gave me just enough of an edge (the economy also helped!!!!) to get me to not only try it but also do it! Again many thanks and to everyone who wants or needs to do it yourself. Just do it!

I took the three screws out on the side panel after removing the drawers. The end cap pulls to the side and forward. I swaped the lever from the old cap to the new and re-installed the piece. It couldn't be easier. 5 min.

Super fast delivery, 4 screws and the old part was out. Cleaned hidden spots in the frig took the longest. 4 screws and it was back in. Took a couple minutes to figure out how to set the plastic conections in the back.

Removed Crisper Drawers and Glass Panel & Rail above Deli Drawer. Removed two screws and carefully removed the 3 pieces that comprise the temperature control knob and arms from their channels. Replaced Right Endcap and reassembled. Hardest part was not breaking the thin control arms as I slid them back into place. Just a shade under 20 minutes to swap out. PartSelect.com delivered the part very fast! I have them bookmarked.

Old part snapped out and replacement snapped right in - extremely easy and fast.

First removed all the veggie and fruit drawers. The the glass shelf and cross bar. Removed broken section and the installed new. Very easy

removed produce drawers and upper shelf.removed
4 screws from end cap and drawer track.replaced end
cap and also reinstalled adjustment slider tab for
temperature adjustment.
i am a retired gas company appliance and heating
repairman,but i think most home owners that are a
little bit handy could do it. The only problem was that my
wife said that while I had it all apart I might as well
clean the whole refrigerator!

Actually my 17 year old daughter repaired the refrigerator. She removed all of the drawers, unscrewed the 2 screws that held the endcap in place, put the new endcap in place with screws and replaced the drawers. Very easy.

1. Removed the drawer that slides into the broken part.
2. Removed the two drawers above broken part.
3. Removed the glass, and lifted out the two bars that hold the glass.
4. Removed the two screws that hold Endcap in.
5. Lift slightly on the front of ENDCAP and pull toward front of refriderator.

Reverse the above order for replacement.

Bottom Line is that this was an easy job. Anyone can do.

Removed bottom tray and middle 2 trays. Removed glass cover on bottom tray. Removed 2 screws swung the endcap inward. removed from refrigerator. Unsnapped rear arm and sliding hardware, transfered to new endcap. reinstalled with 2 screws. The 3rd screw was never installed. However the sliding tray is working fine. Simple repair

Took off the old one and snapped in the new one! Took less than a minute.

I removed the produce drawers and glass shelf below them. Then I removed the deli drawer and took the runner off the endcap. Then I removed the endcap and replaced it with the new one and put everything back together. I did this simple job while my husband relaxed in front of the television.

Removed both crispers, the large glass shelf, the two glass shelf holders and the large Chef's Pantry drawer. Removed the two screws, with a 1/4 inch nutdriver, that held the drawer slide. Removed the two screws (1/4 inch) that held the endcap. Replaced the broken endcap with the new one and reversed the order to re-assemble. Really easy repair that needed only one tool - a 1/4 inch nutdriver.

This was easy because I looked at other repair stories. What nobody mentioned is don't be afraid to swing the temperature control slider around after you get all the screws out. It just sort of hooks into a notch in the back of the cabinet. Pull the whole "L" toward you on a 90 degree swing and it will slip out. Then you can take it out and jiggle the rest of the parts to exchange them Also, if you have the screwdriver with the interchangeable tips you also have the nut driver you need. I was disappointed because I thought I would surprise my husband by doing it myself but didn't have a nut driver. Then I thought of the holder for the screwdriver tips and it was a perfect fit! Surprise.
