TX518VE (P1322502W E) Amana Refrigerator - Instructions
Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
existing fill tube was leaking where the water line connected.
I found the instructions on line which seemed very simple but I soon learned otherwise. The instructions say to remove the water line and then firmly pull the fill tube out as it is a tight fit. I couldn't get the tube out and ended up removing the lower freezer door/tray, the upper tray and the icemaker where I found the water had frozen solid in the end of the tube. I used a hair dryer to melt the ice then I could easily remove the tube. After several attempts to install the new tube I finally inserted a 3/8" OD flex tube thru the passage then I was able to slide the new fill tube over this and get it in place. I then reinstalled the icemaker, upper tray and the door/tray assembly. Turned the water on the check for leaks then plugged the unit back in and all is working well.

Glass shelf over lower bins shattered when being washed in the kitchen sink.
Initially replaced the shelf with clear plastic. Then, after some time, decided to "do it right" and use glass. Found PartSelect by surfing the Internet and was elated to find the exact part needed rather than having to have glass custom cut. The glass shelf arrived quickly, was packed very well, and was simply installed. We were very happy to find this solution.

I broke a glass shelf in the bottom of my fridge
With this order it wasn't so much the repair that was the issue but the fact that I needed the part right away. I broke the shelf Tuesday night and placed the order just afterwards. By Thursday afternoon I had received the new shelf; one day before my inlaws arrived to visit. I was surprised and relieved the part was in stock. Thanks!

The plastic part just got old and crumbeled..so it wouldn't fit.
First I couldn't get it back..due to eye problems so i gave it to my husband and he just did it in a flash..you set it under the glass and put the drawers or crispers back in and its done.

The glass shelf broke into millions of pieces while I washed it.
I was really worried about finding a glass to fit the shelf, and then I discovered Parts Select. Using the model number on the back of the refrigerator, I was searched Parts Select to find the right part. It arrived very quickly, was very easy to install, and fit perfectly! Thank you!
