BX521VCPWR (P1325030W W) Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

First I couldn't get it back..due to eye problems so i gave it to my husband and he just did it in a flash..you set it under the glass and put the drawers or crispers back in and its done.

I wouldn't do it without taking the door off. Cut insulation board the size of the door and tape it to the frig. Lay the door on the table where you can work on it easy. You can use a small drill to take the screws out (under the seal). Put them back by hand and do not over tighten. They are easy to strip out where they won't hold the gasket tight to the door.

Remove shelf assembly containing meat drawer. Remove drawer. Remove rollers and reinstall on new glides. Reassemble drawer unit and put back in fridge.

removed crisper drawers, then food items from shelf above, then replaced support post and replaced drawers and food items from shelf

There was three screws to remove to unmout the ice maker, and unplug the wire harness,then two to remove to slip in new stripper. All took about 20 mins.

Eased the putty knife under the edge of the switch housing and pried it off. Pulled two wires off the old terminals and hooked them onto the new one and reinstalled into the refrigerator body.

We looked up the problem online with the model number of the refrigerator. We ordered the part and followed the video installation that was sent with the order and was found online prior to purchasing

removed gasket with nut driver and screw gun. warmed new gasket up with hair dryer. worked seal around door. seal installed very easily. video was very helpfull. i didn't take door off. freezer works fine now with no frost or ice buildup.

My husband and I worked on it for hours, until we gave up and put the whole project off for the next day. The next day was not fruitful either, so we called my brother, who has had experience with this sort of thing. He figured out that the screws all around the door needed to be taken out. Finally, relief!! If there had been instructions included with it it would have been a snap. Long story, but a lot longer than it needed to be. (Of course, I could have looked online for instructions!) As for the product, I give it an A+. But the clamp is still holding the door closed. It was so stretched out on one side from our efforts that the door would not close. Well, you did say, "Describe how you did the repair".

This is a bottom drawer freezer/refrigerator. Removed the drawer face from the drawer assembly. Removed screws that secure the inside of the drawer and removed the old gasket. Discovered that some fibreglass insulation inside the door was wet and icy from condensation that had gathered over time. Removed the insulation and dried it. This took some time as the ice was slow to melt. Once dry, I replaced the insulation, installed the new gasket and reassembled the door and reinstalled it on the door assembly. Used a hair dryer to warm the new gasket so that it would take proper shape as it had deformed slightly in its packaging . Was tipped off to this approach in the instructions that came with the new gasket. Laa in all the repais was successful.

I needed to replace a torn and mildewed gasket on the bottom freezer.

To prepare the freezer so I did not lose the cold air I taped a clear plastic sheet from a window insulation kit to the frame of the refrigerator. It held the cold in very well.

I did not remove the door from the refrigerator, but I would suggest you do so that you are working on a flat and non-movng surfact. It wasn't impossible to work with the door on, but it slowed me down.

Next, remove the screws under the existing gasket and take off the gasket (be sure you know what part goes behind the lip that gets screwed down).

Clean off the exposed area to remove any dirt, mildew, etc..

Place the gasket on the door and run your fingers across the top of the gasket to ensure that the little piece that is supposed to sit behind the lip is in place. If it doesn't feel even, it may mean that it is not totally behind the lip, and it may not shut properly (trust me - placing the gasket carefully is key).

Then replace the screws and voila, you are done!

let gaskets on cement patio in high ungodly chicago heat during sun shine. freezer had to remove the door 8 bolts . no problem. cleaned area and gasket fit to a tee. top part removed the upper nuts and 4 side ones left and right side . popped the gasket on top and screwed in the center bolt. there are one centering bolt on each side. this insures a sure fitting. worked my way side to side and finnally bottom. did not tighten bolts till gasket fit snug in the groove.

Cover the freezer opening with cardboard and tape, remove all items from freezer door. It's easier to work with the door removed but the hex bolt on the bottom door hinge may be rusted in place. I wouldn't force it. Replacing the gasket with the door attached is not that diffult. Remove all the screws (1/4 " nut driver, you can use cordless drill driver for this, but I would reccomend reassembly by hand) Gasket will pull off...and then the inner panel. You may find ice on the inner door panel and the insulation may be soaked. Rather than wait for the insulation to thaw out and dry, may be easier to replace with bat type insulation on the inner panel esp if you have some on hand. On reassembly, take your time, work the gasket into place, get all screws started then tighten in sequence with a watchful eye on the gasket. Had no problems ...ice is gone, refrig. seems to run less. Very pleased.

best advice was to not remove the screws holding the gasket in, but just to loosen them. Old gasket easily removed. Most difficult part was getting the new gasket in at the corners. Using a plastic spatula helped as did tightening up some of the screws once a corner was fitted (so it would not pop out as you moved on to the next corner.

Lifted both drawer runners removed the broken post, put new post in place. Job completed in lest than two min.
