MTB2148DRQ Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

After checking the water valves ordered new ice maker. received the part three days after ordering! Clearing out food, removing the old one and installing the new unit took under 15 minutes. Everything went fine.

This replacement glass shelf arrived the very next day-after it was shipped. I was so impressed with the easy method of ordering and the prompt delivery of this product-also, the quality of the shelf was perfect. Great service!! I would recommend this for everything-as far as parts needed for repair or replacement.

It's self-explanatory. The procedure is obvious; it's just a little difficult. The only hard part is attaching the mounting brackets to the fan. If you can't tighten the mounting bolts, loosen them and reposition the brackets. You might end up mispositioning them at first, because they are hard to reach.

removed the cover from the back of the refrigerator, and used the nutdriver to loosen screw on the single outlet water valve, removed the old water valve and the hoses to it. Connected the hoses to the new valve and attached to the wall of the refrigerator by tightening the screw. Then removed the old ice maker from the inside of the refrigerator, by loosening the two screws and attached the new one, I tightened the screws and then I was done. It is working great.

Replacing the icemaker is pretty simple. Three screws, an electrical connector. Hardest part is getting to the icemaker since the freezer is below the refrigerator.

Test original overload with meter to see if voltage drops out when overload trips. It did. Measured amp draw to verify compressor load was with in range, it was. New overload no longer trips during compressor start up.

Instead of the ice maker unclipping from the wall after one 1/4" screw being removed from the bracket, I had to remove three of the 4 Phillips head screws from the ice bucket slider below the ice maker and swivel it down to allow the ice maker bracket to clear. The two 1/4" screws holding the ice maker to the wall at the top had to be removed and then the ice maker could be pulled away from the freezer wall. The rest of the instructions went according to the video and went well.

I removed the switch housing (4 screws), replacing the switch in the housing was a snap. It took 5 minutes, cost $8 and light works like new!

Why didn't I order this part and do the repair earlier? Very simple.

Took under 5 minutes. Removed two screws and unplugged the wire bundle from refrigerator. Removed old unit. Put old wire bundle on new unit. Plugged wire bundle back into refrigerator and remounted the new ice maker. Could not have been easier. Watched the video first, it was very helpful.

Snapped it together and slid it in...

to easy to describe, remove 3 screws and a wire plug then install new unite.
Works great
Thanks

Unplugged the power, removed old icemaker by removing 3 screws and unplugging a small wire harness

Then i moved the wire harness off the old one to the new one, moved the end cover over to new one and plugged the harness back in and screwed it back in and turned it on

ALL FIXED!

I googled 'appliance repair' and discovered PartSelect. Tracking down the right part was easy - all I needed was a measuring tape to compare with the gridline
Ordering was easy and installing it was a breeze.
It was nice to know I don't have to depend on an appliance repair man or local store to fix everything.
