AS2728GIHW Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

Repair was tremendously easy. All I did was remove old light switch by prying out with screw driver and plugging in the new light switch and pushing it into the hole. Simple! The instructions weren't needed, but they were very thorough.

Replaced the pins.

Unplugged the refrigerater from the outlet. Took off the front ice and water dispenser assembly. Disconnected the front panel from the electronic board. Removed the ice and water dispensing cone and installed the plastic/Foam insulator door between the two plastic arm frames.

First I removed the three screws in the top hinge that hold the upper right corner of the door to the body of the unit. Then I just lifted the door off of the refrigerator. I proped the door up just long enough to pull out the old pin (plastic) and put the new one in place. Next I picked up the door and set it on the new hinge, and last I put the three screws back into place. It has taken me about as long to type this out as it did to actually make the repair. The part was also very reasonably priced so I purchased two since this items has been replaced previously.

piece of cake . removed the cover - one screw in the switch and back together again - maybe 10 minutes.

Had to push the light switch to get lamp to light up.
Removed power from refrig. and removed old light switch

Unplug fridge. Pull out drip tray at the bottom of the dispenser, remove 2 screws under it. Remove 2 screws holding dispenser to fridge. Disconnect wiring harness. Replace switch and Actuator pad. Re assemble in reverse order and plug the fridge back in. Have a cold glass of water, with ice, and no overflow on the floor. Saved quite a bit of $ to boot!

just snapped the new one in. I am very happy. the part was delivered in just a few days--I was surprised how quickly it was delivered. thank you. I would use your company again.

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.

Ordered the parts, snapped them into place on the basket and then slid the arms into the holes on the freezer door, very very simple..

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.
