TS518SW-P1183701W Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

Easiest repair ever. Just unscrewed 3 screws and replaced with new handle.

Used a screwdriver to pry loose the old switch, swapped wires to the new switch and pushed it into the opening. Took about 2 minutes.

I received part in less than 24 hours

After disconnecting the electricity. I followed the instructions as indicated in the "HOW TO" article on the website. I used a steel putty knife and pried the light switch out of its retaining hole. I worked the right side the most since this is the side with the retaining clip. After I removed the switch I transferred the two electrical outlets to the new switch and easily snapped it into place. Engaged the electric power and tested the switch.

Removed broken rails and replaced with new rails

disconnected el. power to fridge. pried out broken switch with small screwdriner and pulled out w/water pump pliers. installed new switch and pressed into opening.

removed the 2 screws that held the panel in place, had to reach up and push on locking tabs to lower trhe front of the panel. was able to then push on the locking tab of the switch to release it. removed the wires, replaced them onto the new switch, and snapped the switch into place. the rest was reverse of the uninstall process.

Went together like a breeze. Only problem now is need to clean rest of frig really well to match handle.

Pry old switch and pull out. Disconect two wires. Put two wires on new switch, must be inserted right and connections not loose. Put switch in, making shure wies do not come off and snap in place

Unplug appliance. Socket wrench to unscrew two screws. Module drops down. disconnected two press-on wires by prying off with screwdriver. Removed old switch. Press-fit new switch. Reconnected two wires (color coded). Screwed module back in place. Plug in appliance.

Emptied door shelves; removed umpteen screws (electric driver); replaced gasket and same umpteen screws; reloaded shelves. Didn't even turn off refrigerator. And, had great help from you (Sue) when I originally ordered the wrong gasket. Job was a piece of cake and your service outstanding.

A very cold and brittle switch in a 17 year old fridge. Used screwdrivers to pry out with some resistance Had to cut the molded plug in half and split wires, because replacement contacts were farther apart than the original. End result, works great.

Loosened all the screws and pulled the old gasket off. It was fairly easy to get the new one in place. After I had it on it did not seal well so I had to use a hair dryer to get the seal tight.

I entered the model number and was easily able to find the replacement part I needed. It arrived two days later and I installed it and now my fridge works as good as ever. Thanks I felt so smart.

Part was easy to order, delivered quickly, installation very easy. Just unplug the unit, pop out the old swich using a screwdriver, disconnect and reconnect leads and pop switch back in. Definitely recommend that you can do it too.
