JFC2290REP02 Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

replaced electric control board, defrost for six hours. next day (24 hours) same problem, dusterhoff2928@charter.net

Used screw driver to pop out old switch. Used pliers to hold wire connection from fall back into slot on fridge. Inserted new swith into plug and pressed new switch back in place.

took old one out installed new turn left out turn right in

Dropped down the housing for the water filter, twisted, removed item and slotted in the new filter. Easy as pie.

I had several times tried to get the old switch out but with no success. Ordered the "repair kit" and followed directions for removing old switch (there is a plastic spring clip on one side). Easy to unplug the old switch, plug the leads into the new one, snap the new one into place. Took about 5 minutes total--piece of cake. I wish I'd thought to try this years ago when the old switch began to fail.

I turned the water supply off and installed the new filter, which was easy. the hard part was finding the water filter at my local home improvement stores; they don't carry it. In the future I will use only Part Select.

Thought I needed a new filter. Did not solve the problem. I returned the filter to partselect as per instructions. Will order from partselect when I need parts.

Easy...

Pushed it on.

Opened the refrigerator door, pulled down the filter cover, twisted the old one out and removed it. Placed the new one in - twisted it into place, replaced the cover and closed the door. It is working great!!

Unplugged appliance. Using a small putty knife I moved the switch out far enough to grab it with pliers. Moved wiring to new switch and pushed into place after testing.

Piece of cake. Took out old filer and put in new one!

Pried out the old switch with small screwdriver, popped in the new one and tah-dah!! ..the light came on. While I was at it, I cleaned out the freezer :). I cannot begin to imagine what a repairman would have charged for this.

Looked at the appliance's booklet to see how it fit together, then installed it.

My husband and I did this together. Most of the time was taking out all the food in the bottom part of the fridge. Once things are out, take out the deli drawer and the crisper drawers. Take out the glass over the crisper drawers and below. Now you'll see the end cap. We only replaced the left side because the plastic knob that connected the deli cover broke off. So we had to pull out the left side cap. It was hard to pop out. We ended up breaking it as we used a screw driver to get leverage in popping it out. Take off the metal drawer hardware and put on new cap. Pop the new cap in. It went in way easier than taking out the old piece. Now that you are done with that put all the parts and drawers back in place in the fridge. The deli drawer cover will pop back on the knobs. It might take a little pushing on the sides to get it in place but it will evenly pop into place like the side cap.
