ABL1922FES12 Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

Remove light lens by pushing straight back (needs some oomph, but not too much). Remove control housing by prying spring clips in back of housing with thin screwdriver or knife. Remove old control board by releasing plastic clips on both sections and removing 2 wiring plugs. Be careful snapping new control board in ; the alignment of the 4 switches and the 2 readouts is critical - easy to hang up a switch. Snap the control housing back into place, making sure that it is all the way in. Position the light lens so that it is lined up and about 1/2" back and then slide it forward (toward you) into place. The instruction sheet calls the refrigerator section the "fresh food" section. There are 2 light switches, one for each door. Both have to held down to get light to go out and enter programming mode. Easiest to close the right door, then push left door switch and quickly push the freezer DOWN button 3 times. Follow the instructions to set the program on the display and then push AND HOLD the freezer DOWN button until the display starts flashing. Release the freezer DOWN button, close the doors, open the doors to check. Display will indicate two 4s. (that was what mine indicated). Done.

The instructions in the package were not helpful. They wanted me to cut the wiring harness and described where to cut based on the wire colors. My wires were not the same color! I removed the light mechanism using a combination of a screwdriver, putty knife, and plain old muscle with my fingers! The wiring harness unplugged easily and the new one inserted. It was easy to push the whole assembly back into the door. I spent more time looking for something to cut the wiring harness with (and never did find it) than the whole job actually took without needing to cut anything!

Disconnect plug from wall. Insert putty knife between light switch.and trim panel , apply pressure to depress plastic spring holding switch in place. Apply a slight twist too putty knife releasing switch from trim piece. This wil expose plug connected to switch. Disconnect plug from switch. Connect new switch to plug. Insert switch into trim. Plug refrigerator into wall socket.

got the new part, took the old part out and snapped the new part in! Very easy. Thank you.

The fridge would occasionally run warm, requiring me to turn it off and defrost the evap coils in the freezer. I found an online video that demonstrated the entire process of replacing the control board. The fridge model in the video was different than mine, so it took some time to figure out how to remove the panel. Once that was done, the rest was easy. The only tool required was a flat-head screwdriver that was used to push in the tabs holding the panel in place. The circuit board took more effort to split in two than I had realized, and I had to be careful not to bend any of the components on its surface. The whole process took less than 30 minutes, and the fridge is working properly now..

use kitchen knife to pry out. replaced switch assemble and pressed back into place. Could not have done this with out help from previous customers. Thanks

Popped out broken switch with blunt flat edged instrument. Disconnected switch from unit . Plugged new piece in and reinserted into side panel of refrigerator. Very easy.

I ordered the part (new shelf) and when it arrived THE NEXT DAY I just let it in. Very easy and quick.

I did not do the repair yet, there is no schematic on how to route the hose; also no description of how to do the routing/connections.

Cleaned all lines running to water control valve and ice maker. Replaced water control valve still no water to Ice Maker. Replaced Ice Maker as tec. support suggested. Still no water to Ice Maker talked again to tec. support they didn't know what to do? After I spent 200.00 dollars in parts and shipping. NOW I still have get a repairman out fix the problem. The program is helpful but I don't see why you don't have someone to talk to about the problem that knows what they are talking about. It may be a defective waters inlet valve that you sent. The Ice maker does work if it had water. I ran a test with the jumper wire as suggested.

I followed the instructions for the installation of the icemaker and its connection to the house water supply.

Installed the part, fan turned on, lights on, however, the freezer did not get cold and refrigerator is not working at all. Need advice!

Unplugged and disconnected the water supply.Disconnected the water line coming from the filter and cut about 1/8 inch off to square it off.
Unscrewed panel to expose inlet valve. With a marker I noted where the lines need to go back to. Disconnected the other two lines and made fresh straight cuts with a utility knife. Disconnected both plugs from the old inlet. The yellow one was difficult to get off, so I carefuly used a screw driver. Be careful, you don't want to break the plug. Reinstalled the new inlet. make sure that you push all of the lines in the valve so that they are completely seated. Make electrical connections. Secure valve to the panel. The water line from the filter should be the last line that you connect. Put screws back in the panel.
Plug in and turn on water supply. Fill up a gallon container from water dispenser. Check for leaks. Let the ice machine fill up. Check for leaks. Place back panel back on and secure. GOOD LUCK!

Replaced shelf, very simple

I checked the element and the thermostat and determined the problem to be the control board. I simply followed the instruction in the video. Everything went well until the last step, the video said to push the freezer down button. When this did not work I refered to the written instructions which told me to push the up button. That did it. Job complete. The unit is working as it should.
