ABR192ZFES12 Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

I had previously replaced the defrost timer and thermostat but the freezer was still not cold enough and was frosting up. After replacing the heater element I was disappointed that all the ice melted and the refrigerator was warming up. We were looking for a replacement appliance, but after the second day the freezer and refrigerator were working perfectly! It just took some time to cycle enough to catch up.

Unplugged fridge
Pulled light cover off
Used screwdrivers to press in on tabs holding control board cover.
Unplug wiring harnesses.
Snapped board in two.
Install in cover
Reattach wires
Done

Followed Youtube video from Free Repair Help. Only problem was getting down low enough to see the pins on the Compressor to plug the replacement Compressor Start Device and Capacitor-could not replace the old clip to hold the unit to the Compressor like the old unit had. At 77 I just have a problem bending over.

I replaced the Control Board...
the two boards need to be installed first . than plug in the connectors
(refrigerator was unplugged of course.!) i plugged in the connectors first. and had to disconnect them. install the boards first. than plug in the electrical connectors.. strange for a day or two it still did not work properly and than one day. it started working ok 7 on the freezer and 3 on the refrigerator. I do not know why..

Extremely easy. Probably could have been done with eyes closed.

Super simple following the instruction video you posted. Thanks!

DEFROSTED REFRIGERATOR COILS, BUT DIDN'T REPLACE THE GROMMET.

Plumber came to stop the water leak and told us it was a bad valve so I ordered the part - thank you Kate! - it was exactly what we needed. Disconnected the old valve (making note on the process) and installed the new valve in reverse process. Turned the water on and dispensed water and it leaked from one of the lines at connection. With the water turned off, my son again with pliers carefully pushed the tubing harder up into the valve and heard/felt it click into place and it has worked like a charm since. Good son and mom team.

Phillips screw driver. Less than 5 min.

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.

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..

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.

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.
