BX521VE (P1325033W B) Amana Refrigerator - Instructions
Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Both light bulbs had been replaced, but lights did not turn on.
I tried to remove the old light switch using a putty knife and a hammer. It was hard to compress the plastic tabs to pull it back through the hole, but all of a sudden, the lights came on. I guess banging on the switch freed-up the contacts. The new switch is now a spare part in case I need it.

Had to completely remove the ice maker in order to install the replacement part
Sorry for delay in writing. Part I ordered arrived two days ago and it was exactly what I needed. Knowing that there will be problems even with the smallest job I procrastinated starting. When I did start this morning I foud I had to completely remove the ice maker and disassemble it in order to install the water fill cup bracket. The challenge was reassembling the unit. Not hard for an experienced repairman but a challenge for layman. Everything is thing is back to gether now and power on cooling down the refrigerator. Won't know how successful it was until turn on water and ice is formed. If it works this saved $75 just to get a Sears repairman to come out and tell me what would be needed to fix the refrigerator and $1,000 if I had to buy a new refrigerator. Extremely satisfied with service I received. Thank you.

Freezer Gasket was broken
Well, that was fun. Just finished replacing the broken seal on wifey's freezer. While at it, I cleaned all the inserts, fridge/freezer inside and out, floor behind and under, forgot where all the slider/shelve things came out of, leveled the repaired unit, and am testing to see if it gets cold. Seal replacement job was one hour, total project was three days. All I say is "it better work for another eight years!"

Bottom Freezer Gasket
I removed the bottom compartment completely from the refrigerator , making the job much easier. I removed all the screws and then set the gasket starting with the corners making sure the inner groove of the gasket sat inside the bottom lip . I used a putty knife to raise up the tray that has this lip and slightly working the gasket down into position with my finger Do Not use the putty knife to set the gasket. When the gasket was set on one side I added a few screws to keep the gasket from popping out of place. When finished I used a hair dryer on one side to help conform the gasket to make contact with the fridge. The unit is running fine with no problems. The install job took me 1hr and 15Min

Broke the arm off the food compartment rocker switch
After receiving the new part almost immediately,using two screw drivers, removed the broken switch from the plastic frame. Be careful not to scratch or otherwise tear the plastic...very pliable. Since the original switch was factory installed and the wires were packed in fiberglass insulation, the switch came out but the wires and clips were still in place and could not reach the new switch. It was necessary to pull them down with bent long nose pliers...used a lot of "pull" but the wires held up.Connected the switch, turned the power on and there was light! Reports from other users really took the uncertainty out of the task.

Freezer seal was broken
Thanks to some reviews we found online about replacing gaskets, ours went very smoothly. One person said to soak the gasket in hot water, which we did til it was very soft. Installed like a breeze. Then, the same person said to tape the door closed after installation, we did that too. The gasket looks like it was professionally installed and we have never done it before. Thanks!

Light switch which turns on the lights when the door opens went out
This is an easy fix, simply remove and replace. What I was impressed with is that a how to video was provided along with my part. I wish all manufactures would offer this, the video was easy to understand and you had a good view of the operation. Thanks, a job well done.
