GT1986PKCA Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

Icecubes came out half-way, and refrooze. I figured out, that the melter does not work (HEATER in the icemaker) Voltage measured 105V no load. Studied the Internet, and folloved an advice: shorted the back wire and the blackwire with white stripes.these go to relay contacts. It seems, that the relay contacts are no good on Infrared receiver boaed. I turn off manually the icemaker, when needed

slid new end caps onto bar and snaped back in to door. It took less than 1 minute.

It was so easy!

Thanks for the rush to my home on the part.

I just unscrewed the plate that locks in the light switch (screwdriver) and unplugged the old faulty part and plugged in the new switch, screwed the cover back on and I was done!

Easy!

And I am not Mr. Fix-it!

Had to disassemble ice maker to install part. . .

It was easy breezy!! I felt like an empowered woman that I did it myself. I simply removed the old shelf supports with a screwdrive and inserted a screw thru the new supports and screwed them in.

Once I identified the problem, Partselect's web page made it easy to find a replacement part. The Housing Control unit was easy to remove as it had one screw in the middle, by the temprature control section, and two screws to either end. The center screw required a philips head, but the end once did not need to be removed. The unit could simply be slid out and the wiring is easy to disconnect. Then it was simply a process of inserting the components from the damaged Housing Control unit, to the new one. If you treat it like a "puzzle" you'll get the results you want with out the aggrevation that it could turn into.

I was helping my son clean the refrigerator in the house he just bought and I accidentally broke the tempered glass shelf while cleaning it. I felt terrible. Glad I found your site. Your web site was really easy to use and you had the part to me in two days. It fit perfectly. Many thanks!

Used a screw driver to pull old switch. Pulled one wire at a time, only two wires. After wires instlled to new switch push new one back in place where the old one was.

I visited your Website used the model number to located the proper glass shelf for replacement. Ordered the item in your self-check out and was informed via email that I should receive the shelf in 5 to 7 business days. With much surprise I was emailed informing me when the item shipped received confirmation etc. The experience was seamless and much appreciated. I thought when this accident occurred it would be difficult to replace. Your services were great, and I would highly recommend your Website to anyone.Thanks!

I simply removed the old switch using 2 small screwdrivers and the old switch case popped out. I then upluged the wires from the old switch and reversed the process. Didn't take longer than 5 minutes begining to end! Thank you for the great service! Duncan quaid

Ok, first off, I am a girl-with absolutely no 'fix it skills" whatsover. My husband had pointed out the problem to me the second time the fridge started to get warm. I ordered the part (wrong one first time), then reordered the correct part. I emptied the freezer, defrosted the coils, installed the part. Put back together-all of it took about 15 minutes. I am still oh so very proud of myself.

Removed the inside door panel. Removed old seal. The new seal was very wrinkled so put it in the clothes drier for 10 minutes . Then stretched it on to the inner door panel and reinstalled it to the door. Not as good a fit as I'd hope for but it will do the job

took cover off back of inside of freezer undone the thermostate and put back together

Removed the 2 screws holding the light bulb shield, then the 4 uolding the metal panel. Unplugged the olw door switch and replaced.
reassembled the pieces.

The Ice maker unit had to be removed and the shaft had to also be removed, which required dis-assembling the motor drive. The thickness of the shaft and the bearing fill cup prevents it from simply pushing it in place. Other than that I have Ice.
