NT2139 Refrigerator - Instructions

Easily screwed new one into place! Thanks!

Replaced knob.

I unscrewed the remaining broken piece of the old timer knob with my hand that was still connected to the threads and screwed on the new timer knob with my hand until it stopped. I then tested it by pulling the timer knob in and out; then turning the knob to the right to check the rotation. Job done and I'm happy.

The repair was incredibly simple.. I used pliers to unscrew remaining piece on the control screw and screwed repalacement knob... Less than two minutes... My wife was hesitant for me ordering new part because it looked a tad different but I would say, it was pretty universal to the older model... DO NOT hesitate... Back to normal... Thank you so much....John

Unscrewed the broken part that was still screwed into timer assembly, screwed new, METAL part on. BEGAN washing.

Unloading the freezer and removing the back panel were the most time consuming aspect of this repair. Many models only have 4 screws, but this one has 9, and being a side by side it was a tight fit to reach them. Once defrosted we tested the thermostat, found it "dead", and ordered a new one. The part came within 3 business days. Installing it took minutes, since we had not permanently screwed in the back panel again. We didn't want to reload everything until we knew things worked properly, so we didn't put everything back right away. We thought we had further problems as the freezer got really cold but the frig still didn't get down to temp. Turns out we just needed to reinstall the fan shield which we'd taken off along with other parts to access and check the vents. The fan shield must be in place to direct the cold air into the vent to the refrigerator. Duh! It was an oversight that once caught made total sense! Now all works fine on this 20 year old Maytag side by side!

I unpluged the refrig, removed the shelves and the back panel on the freezer side of the unit. This exposed the fan motor and fan blade. I removed two screws holding the fan unit in place, unpluged the wires connecting the fan unit to power, and then removed two other screws securing the fan motor to the bracket. I removed the fan motor blade from the old unit and installed it on the new fam motor. I replaced the fan unit into the bracket, pluged the wires back into the fan motor and secured the motor to the refrig. Replaced the back panel and shelves, pluged the refrig into the wall.....easy.

I received the part in the mail in about 4 days from date of order. Held the back piece with long nose pliers, unscrewed the remaining piece of the old knob with other hand, screwed the new knob on and VOILA! it was fixed. Incidently, I am a 61 year old female. So do not be intimidated, repair it yourself.

Put the knob on the threads that were sticking up and twisted it down!Very Easy!!!!!!!!

Simply screwed new knob on. Works great.

Secured threaded shaft with long nose pliers, unscrewed broken section with fingers, then screwed on replacement knob. Washer works great. In order to remove broken threaded piece, one needs to secure the threaded shaft as it turns freely, just be careful not to damage threads with pliers in doing so. Bill in Houston, Texas

Repair took about 30 seconds. Only reason it took 30 seconds is the phone rang & a telemarketer was tryimg to se;; me spmething. New piece is a great chance form the way the old piece was done. Now you can just screw it on.

Unscrewed the remaining piece of old timer knob, screwed the new (MUCH better quality) knob on... and done! :-) I have use Parts Select before and always get more of everything than expected. Thank you!

The new knob was easy to find on the web page, shipment was very prompt, and all that I needed to do was screw the new knob on! Very easy and great service!
