Ray S Shavertown , PA September 20, 2014 My old maytag side by side wouldn't defrost thick ice built up in the freezer and food would be spoiled I went to the AppliancePartsPro website and found it to be very "user friendly." I quickly found the appropriate schematic for my model refrigerator and the reference for the defective part (defrost thermostat.) The ordered part was discounted, reasonably priced, and arrived very quickly. I followed the online instructions for replacing the thermostat. The process took about half an hour. It was a very easy repair. The refrigerator, which my wife wanted to trash, is working like new again. 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
