Broke the Rocker Switch in Fridge side
Popped out with butter knife and unplugged 3 prong connector and reversed with anew switch.
But, unfortunately it got broken again exactly same way as before.
So, I ordered same switch again for 2nd time.
Maytag should recall that Rocker Switch and build with better materials.

Water not draining to pan. It caused an ice build up under the freezer draw
Remove the grate at the back of the refrigerator. Remove the existing drawn tube. Replace the exiting drain tube with the updated drain tube. Check to see if water was draining properly. Replace the grate. Sit back and have a beer.

broken part
this site is invaluable - we searched and came upon it and the schematics for the model of fridge we have allowed us to identify exactly the part that we needed to replace. It was terrific - great site.

I had a loose fitting old condensor fan blade on my new motor.
I made a temporary repair by drilling the old blade plastic hub and put a small screw in it to hold it on to the shaft until the new blade arrived. The new blade came in within the two days I needed before Thanksgiving. I removed the old and pushed on the new. There were 8 screws on the back guard and two to hold the motor on. It was a snap.
Thank you PartSelect.com The wife is very, very happy now, we had 51 coming over for Thanksgiving. :)

Boyfriends freezer door wouldn’t shut completely
I got really tired of taking food out covered in icicles and stabbing a huge block of ice out of the bottom. Turns out all he needed was a little wheel with cogs and I looked up the sticker model number on this site and clicked the part of the fridge. So simple, wish I would’ve done it sooner.

The toughest part was pulling the refrigerator from the wall....After removing the back-bottom access panel the compressor is right there with the Start-Dev and Cap..Took a few min to remove and install new parts....Very Simple and works great...no more clicking..

Ice would not exit the ice bin
It was so easy. I had no idea. My husband and I were directed to your site and we ordered the part with scepticism but with hope that it would solve the problem. As soon as it came in, my husband installed it in five minutes. It was working immediately. Thank you.

This is almost embarassing but you asked....
Once the part arrived, which was very quickly BTW..all I had to do was remove the old filter and then just screw the new one into place....Now I just happen to be both female and blonde but was able to get the job done in less than 15 minutes (that includes opening the box) and with very little water dripping from the old filter!!! Looks like I could work as the Maytag repair woman soon!!

ice wouldn't come out
1. Tried to unscrew the bolt that held the broken coupling.
2. Had to have daughter hold on the plastic spinner on the other side so that the bolt would unscrew and not make the whole mechanism spin.
3. Screw came out.
4. Put coupling in place.
5. Put screw back in and tightened everything up.
Really easy, once the screw actually began coming out.

Filter stopped up. Causing the refrigerator to make a loud noise. water dispenser didn't work. less than 4.00 fixed all that
Shut off water supply. filter is located in the upper right hand corner of the refrigerator on the inside. open the drop-down door. by hand pull the filter downward. then twist it to the left one quarter turn. it should pull out. I replaced it with a filter bypass plug. you can purchase a high quality filter to replace.it don't buy cheap filter.I made that mistake! hope this helps good luck!

Broken Ice Bin Coupling
While trying to get my icemaker to unjam (ice all stuck together) I broke the coupling under the ice bin. Shouldn't have tried to force it, but you learn from experience...
I found the diagram of what I needed to order on the website and ordered the part, which arrived in about 2 days. Dumped the ice out of the bin, removed the screw that held in the broken coupling, replaced the coupling and replaced the screw. Put the ice bin back into the freezer door and Voila.. ice dispenser works again.

Gaskets wore old and broken
Googled how to replace door gaskets and watched a video and did what it said and was so easy. took longer to remove everything and the shelves and storage bins and wash down the refrigerator than replace the door gaskets.
