AB2526PEKW4 Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

removed the 2 screws that held the panel in place, had to reach up and push on locking tabs to lower trhe front of the panel. was able to then push on the locking tab of the switch to release it. removed the wires, replaced them onto the new switch, and snapped the switch into place. the rest was reverse of the uninstall process.

Removed the crisper drawers and slip the rail back into position.

I noticed that the refrigerator was having trouble maintaining temperature. Thought it might be time for new one until I found out that a new frig was $5k to $7K. Just happened to notice that the light switch didn't look quite right (was not sitting sqaure to the door). Once I pressed it it came loose. I then realized the the lights were staying on (50 watts of heating). Replaced the switch and the frig started working like new.

I easily identified the needed part from the diagram on the PartSelect.com site and ordered it. It arrived within three business days (standard shipping). It simply popped into place in the respective slots in the bin frame--no tools needed. The whole process cost less than $11.00 with more than half of the cost going for shipping.

I used a knife blade to slip under the edge of old switch to pray it out of the hole it was inserted into, switched the wires and replaced the new switch into the same hole. It took about five minutes!

disconnected el. power to fridge. pried out broken switch with small screwdriner and pulled out w/water pump pliers. installed new switch and pressed into opening.

The leftover broken piece of the rail was removed from the crisper shelf supporting brackets and the new replacement installed in place using the front and rear tabs inserted into the crisper support bracket. Both crisper drawers now slide in and out properly.

I pried the old one out with a screw driver and pushed the new one in. I expected instructions in the box it came in but there were none.

Very easy.... no tools required everything just snapped into place didn't need all parts ordered but return for credit real easy.. All in all a very smooth experience. Followup emails gives great sense of confidence that help will be there if needed

Used screw driver to pop out old switch. Used pliers to hold wire connection from fall back into slot on fridge. Inserted new swith into plug and pressed new switch back in place.

I removed the drawers, glass shelf and the old frame. I had to remove several parts from the old frame and reinstall on the new one. It took a couple of minutes to figure out how to remove one part by prying with a small screwdriver. Otherwise, everything was straightforward.

Popped the old one out with a kitchen knife and popped the new one back in. It tool less than 15 seconds!!

just had to slide the new part into place

This refrigerator is one of our company refrigerators and takes a beating. The center rail that holds the drawers had been broken. The repair was as simple as sliding the broken rail out and sliding the new on in place. It was as easy as it gets.

My owners manual said to unplug fridge from elec outlet, use a kitchen knife to gently pry off the switch plate
(manual had a pictoral example), unclip the two wire, replace with on new switch and replace the switch. Close
door and plug back in. Open door to check that the lite
works. Walla! It did. Thanks!
