AZ2727GIHB Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

Went very quickly. The biggest problem was manipulating all the frozen packages such that I could reach mounting screws. In the future, I'd be prepared with a cooler to place the frozen goods during the repair time, which required the freezer door be wide open throughout the repair.

Remove bolt on lower left side that locates the Ice Enclosure. Partially remove Ice Enclosure. Locate electrical connector behind Ice Enclosure. Squeeze locking tabs and wiggle connector free. Completely remove Ice Enclosure and place on work surface. Remove phillips head screws that attach motor to Ice Enclosure. Remove phillips head screws that attach solenoid to Ice Enclosure. Grasp motor shaft with pliers to hold it still. Wedge screw driver handle into motor yoke to gain additional leverage as you turn yoke clockwise (reverse thread) to remove yoke from motor shaft. Keep track of spacer bushing that will fall from motor shaft when yoke is removed. Attach motor and solenoid to new Ice Enclosure. Replace bushing and yoke onto motor shaft. Reassemble Ice Enclosure into freezer compartment. Don't forget to plug harness back in and to replace locating bolt on left side of Ice Enclosure.

Remove (slide forward) the ice dispenser drain pad from the bottom of the ice dispenser assembly on front of the freezer door. Removing two screws (star head) at the bottom allows the ice dispenser cover to be removed. Remove 3 screws holding the ice dispenser assembly to the freezer door to gain access to the flapper. Remove and replace the flapper and reverse the steps to reassmble.

Just as described by others that have left feedback, I removed a total of 4 hex-screws to access the door. Removed the old one and replaced the door. I resecured the front panel and it was done.
Thanks again for the great experience.

Removed two screws from front cover,unpluged circuit board. Removed two more screws and cliped the door in place.

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.

All work was done by hand. I removed the cover plate, unscrewed the existing water filter and screwed in the new one. I returned the cover plate to its original position and bled the air out of the line by running the water dispenser for a few minutes. It could no have been easier.

Located the filter, removed the filter, installed the new one, reset the filter light on the front of the water discharge, and all is good.

removed 4 screws, reeplaced broken ice door,
replaced 4 screws. Easy job with your site diagrams.

repair&parts instalation was easy but troubleshutting difficult.

Disconncted power, pulled plug on disconnect, loosened 3 ice maker attach screws, removed ice maker. carefully removed old broken part, to understand reasembly. Reinstalled new water fill & bearing part.. hung icemaker and tightened attach screws. Reattached electrical plug.. turned on power, it all worked. .took about 45 min to remove, 15 min to reinstall. Right tools needed re disassembly AND ASSEMBLY

The difficult part of the repair was the removal of the auger nut so that the motor shaft could be slipped through the enclosure. My son finally removed the front of the motor allowing him to get a better grip and thereby remove the auger nut. Once that was done the actual replacing of the enclosure was easy. The two portions of the motor and the accompaning soleniod fit well and were easily screwed in. The motor was then connected to the opening on the back wall and all was well.
