BX518VW (P1324301W W) Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

used hair dryer to heat section that wasnt sealing. this soften gasket so magnet can can seal . you have to close door wile gasket is still hot.

Very easy to order from parts select. Took seconds to replace.

Repair went well,took about five to ten minutes to disconnect the power from the fridge removed the defective switch installed the new one ,reconnected the power,,,and Let there be light and there was light!

inserted a knife between the switch and the plastic interior in order to pop the switch out.
then took off the 2 wires on the old switch put them on the new switch and reinserted the switch into the plastic interior.

I simply removed the old switch by gently pulling down on the old switch with a screwdriver. When it was about half way out I just gently pulled down on the old switch and it popped out... I removed the two connectors attached to the old switch by pulling on the connectors with a pliers...I tried using my fingers but wasn't able to pull t ... Read more he connectors off so I used pliers. It worked perfectly.. When pulling off the old connectors, make sure you attach the new switch to the same tabs on the new switch... It was very easy to do and took under 5 mins.....The light switch works perfect....P.S. You should unplug the frig while making the connection just in case....Safety first....!!!

unscrewed old handle and screwed in new one, whalaa. thank you.

i just took the prts apart and replaced with new part really easy and saved $185.00 easy as pie

I removed the shelf (that contained the slide rails) from the fridge. I unscrewed 3 screws which connected the broken slide rail to the shelf. I connected the new slide rail to the shelf with the same 3 screws. I then put the shelf back in place in the fridge. A clean job.

I took a chance and ordered a switch that is next to the top of the door. looked for how to remove it easily done in ten minutes works fine last long time.

SUPER EASY!! UNCREW, AND SCREW ON NEW PART. PERFECT PART, COLOR, SERVICE. THANK YOU !

Use a screw driver and it was easy to repair.

I REFERENCED A PARTS SELECT U-TUBE VIDEO ON HOW TO REPLACE A FREEZER DOOR GASKET. (GOOGLE SEARCH "HOW TO REPLACE A FREEZER DOOR GASKET"). THIS MADE THE PROCESS GO QUITE SMOOTHLY.

I was so happy to find a gasket still available for my old refrigerator. This was an easy job, more time consuming than anything, taking out the many screws that held the old gasket in. I am a 74 year old woman, so if I can replace a gasket, I think anyone can. I removed all the screws around the old gasket and pulled it off. Cleaned ... Read more up the door area with a damp cloth. Soaked the new gasket in warm water to make it pliable, laid it around the door frame, making sure the lip was under the screw in area. I fitted each corner first. Then I started screwing the gasket in place with the old screws starting in the middle of each side. I slowly worked my way around the freezer door until it was done. Easy repair and saved the cost of a new fridge.

only problem was many screws -- like 30 or so -- took a while to get off without a socket wrench and then get back on -- all while the freezer was dripping. Had to do it over a period of time.

I removed the switch housing (4 screws), replacing the switch in the housing was a snap. It took 5 minutes, cost $8 and light works like new!

Why didn't I order this part and do the repair earlier? Very simple.
