AS2125CIHW Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

The best part of the repair was how easy it was to find and order the part. Instead of searching the parts houses around town I just went to the PartSelect web site, quickly found and ordered the part in about five minutes, received the part the next day at my home and was ready to make the repair. Wow! What a pleasure for something to work the way it was meant to. Removed old switch located by prying out with sharp knife or screwdriver. Don't worry about breaking it or cracking plastic. Disconnect(unplug) wires from back of switch. Replace (plug-in) wires on back of new switch. Insert in location of old switch. Finisheed.

Removed front dispenser trim panel by removing 2 torx screws under drip tray. Removed dispenser module by removing 3 torx screws. Unplug electrical connector on LHS of module. Removed the gray actuator pad & the limit switch by removing a small phillips head screw. Removed 2 spade connectors to switch & replaced with new switch. Reverse the steps above to re-assemble the dispenser module & trim panel to the door.

Generally I followed the instructions left on the website by others who had accomplished the repair. (A couple of them are very good, and I don't see the need to repeat their instructions.) However, I had two problems in the process. First, without any clear drawings, I mistakenly installed the ice chute door backwards. The shape of the door back matches the shape of the chute, so I made a mistake. Once I realized the mistake and placed the rubberized side of the door to face the chute, the project moved quickly. Secondly, I faced the same problem that most others cited. The solenoid plunger is difficult to get in the right location on the chute door strike. You must lift the strike out of its cradle, where it is held only by the pressure of the return spring, in order to seat the strike into the plunger flange. Once I overcame those two problems, the job was easy and quick. Thanks for your quick delivery of the parts.

First I removed the drip pan, then removed the two screws behind it which hold the frame. I then pushed up on the frame, the top of which is slotted to fit on two large-head screws. This allows the frame to be swung loose. I then disconnected the flat control cable, then removed two more screws. Replaced ice chute door, but repair didn't work. Repeated this several times. The problem was that I had not correctly affixed the part holding the door to the solonoid pin. The pin had dropped out, and I re-inserted it the wrong way. Be sure that the slotted end of the pin properly engages the chute door holder. This job would have taken much less time if I had more carefully examined the mechanism while disassembling it. Next time I repair something, I'll use a digital camera to snap a few pictures as I disassemble the mechanism.

Obtained the part from part select in record time. Exact part arrived next day and changed out the faulty part within an hour. great service and have already booked-marked the website should future appliance parts be needed. Fair price too!

Disassembled the control facade of the ice maker/water dispenser, then attempted to install the chute cover, only to discover that an arm connecting the chute was broken. Temporarily reassembled the chute with cover, so we can still secure water. Will need to order broken arm to finish the install.

it was a cake walk,removed a few screws unpluged assembly installed new switch didnt get shocked, nothing started on fire, ice came out like it should afterwards

I read what other people had done so I tried the easiest solution--Forced, without breaking, the plastic & fit the ring right where it needed to be.

I followed the instructions from other users and everything went fine. I had one issue not covered. My refrigerator doors are covered by cabinet panels, and the top panel had to be removed in order to remove the panel for the ice/water dispenser. The part was perfect and fairly easy to install!

replaced electric control board, defrost for six hours. next day (24 hours) same problem, [email protected]

Removed 5 screws, took unit apart, replaced part, put back together. Just be sure to have the solenoid connected to the ice door lever the right way before you reassemble.

A very cold and brittle switch in a 17 year old fridge. Used screwdrivers to pry out with some resistance Had to cut the molded plug in half and split wires, because replacement contacts were farther apart than the original. End result, works great.

Pried out ice blade bar and removed broken water fill cup and replaced with new one.The whole repair costs $9.52 So I saved $ 190 over the cost of Appliance man visit!
It would have been $150& $50 for visit to replace ice maker unit.

it went just fine. fowed instuctions from web page. 1,2,3,done
thank you
