Maytag repairman still in retirement
The part was correct. The suggested diagnosis was correct. The repair took about 90 minutes for a hobby auto/motorcycle mechanic. Me thinks I saved several hundred $$$ in repairs and $$$$$ for a new unit with your part and my tools. Thanks! Defrosting again as it should. Makes a 20 plus year old Maytag side by side ref/freezer like new again.

Refrigerator was freezing up and not cooling!
Well first I noticed the back of the freezer compartment freezing up and the ice not freezing. I moved all the contents of the freezer to another freezer. I waited and noticed even when pluged in and everything defrosted the fan didn't kick on on the condensing unit! After a few minutes it did kick on and I took a guess that the defrost t

I knew I had found the problem. It took maybe 10 minutes to remove and about 10 minutes to order the part. Three days later it was at my door. I took my time installing it which only took maybe 30 minutes. It took longer for me to wipe everything down and clean the inside of both compartments than it did to insall the part. Pluged it in and fired it up and problem solved. Thanks Part Select!

Refrigerator fresh food side warm, freezer frosted over
First did the easy part, removed and replaced the defrost timer. Didn't correct the problem.
Then got into the defrost heaters. Big job, because the factory didn't provide for repairs. Had to remove the ice maker because there was one screw holding on the cover panel behind it. The factory installed defrost heaters were run beh

Now the refrigerator fresh food side maintains 39 degrees and runs 1/10 the time it was running. My wife says it's better than new! Saved $ 2,400 (the replacement she had picked out).
