Paul September 26, 2012 for Model Number mzd2766ge mzd2766ge* is the model number listed on the inside of my Maytag side-by-side refridgerator. I have a broken ice bin holder broken by the torque of the motor. Is this the correct part for my fridge and could something else be causing this part to fail outside normal wear and tear. Love the site thank you. Paul
1 Answer Hello Paul! The ice enclosure 61005619 is the correct replacement. Normal wear and tear would damage this item. Thanks. Read More...
Kim November 29, 2011 for Model Number MZD2766GEQ Does the AP4071512, which holds the ice bin, also have the auger mounted to it vertically at the back? The image shown only shows view from above, giving it no height. Mine is also ~6" high and the auger motor attaches with screws plus there is a hole for the dispenser door to open and allow ice out of ice bin.
1 Answer Hi Kim. Yes, the ice enclosure part # 61005619 does house the auger motor assy. part # 12001773, and the cube solenoid also. The auger yoke assy. part # WP63052-2 screws off in a clockwise manner, (lt. hand thread). Thank You. Read More...
Amy P. October 30, 2011 for Model Number mzd2766ge How do I reinstall motor into back of ice bin holder?
1 Answer Hi Amy. Remove the motor yoke by holding the shaft and turning it clockwise. Unbolt the motor from the ice bin enclosure. Then remount the new motor onto the enclosure with original bolts in the front. Screw the yoke onto the motor shaft by turning it to the left. It will remain tight while using it with the ice commands. The motor is part # 12001773. The yoke is part # WP63052-2. The ice bin enclosure is part # 61005619. Thank You. Read More...
Ed July 17, 2011 for Model Number MZD2766ge I purchase a new ice auger and ice tray support, item no AP4071512. How do I remove the auger drive from the motor to secure the motor to the new ice tray support.
1 Answer Ed, the easiest way, is to hold the motor shaft, behind the yoke, with a small pair of pliers, and turn the yoke clockwise to loosen, while holding the shaft with the pliers. Good Luck and Thanks. Read More...
David June 30, 2011 for Model Number MZD2766GEW I need to replace the ice bin holder since the plastic mount for the screw motor broke out a few years ago. I am attempting to remove the old one, prior to buying any new parts 1. to ensure I can do it and 2. to make sure that that is the only part I need. I am having difficulty, however, in unplugging the motor from the rear of the freezer. Is there any directions that you can give me to expidite this procedure without wrecking the back of the freezer and therefore damaging more of the machine? Thanks for you help.
1 Answer Hello David. Here are the instructions from the manufacture. Hope this helps. The auger motor and solenoid are located behind the storage bin. The yoke, fastened to the motor, engages the drive ring and turns auger in a clockwise direction. Both the yoke and drive ring are designed to prevent a loosening of the yoke by exerting counter pressure while in operation. The auger motor makes one revolution approximately every three seconds. To determine the free movement of the auger motor, place the selector switch in either cube or crushed position (slide selector models). On electronic models, push the cube or crushed selector pad. Open the freezer door, push and hold the cabinet interlock switch in the closed position while pushing the dispenser actuator pad. The solenoid is energized only when the selector switch is in the cube position. This will pull back the actuated blades. To determine the free movement of the solenoid/ yoke assembly, place the selector switch (slide selector models) in the cube position. On electronic models, push the cube selector pad. Open the freezer door. While pushing the dispenser actuator pad, push and hold the cabinet interlock switch in the closed position. Observe the control rod yoke for vertical movement. The auger motor and the solenoid/control rod yoke assembly are easily removed. 1. Disconnect the unit from the power source. 2. Remove the ice/crusher bin assembly. 3. Remove the retainer screw at the bottom left side of the ice/crusher bin shelf enclosure. 4. Pull the shelf forward and disconnect the quick disconnect. 5. Remove the assembly from the freezer and place on a flat work surface. 6. To check the auger motor, attach an ohmmeter probe to the auger motor terminals. The meter should show resistance. If the meter does not show resistance, the motor should be replaced. 7. To replace the motor, hold the auger motor armature and turn the yoke clockwise, releasing yoke from the motor shaft. Remove the yoke and washer. 8. Remove the four mounting screws that fasten the motor enclosure. Remove the motor from the enclosure. 9. Install the replacement part in reverse order of removal. 10. To check the solenoid yoke assembly, attach an ohmmeter to the solenoid terminals. The meter should show resistance. If it does not show resistance, replace the solenoid yoke assembly. 11. Remove the four screws that fasten the solenoid yoke assembly to the enclosure. Remove the assembly from the enclosure. 12. Install the replacement part in reverse order of removal. Read More...
Rosemary June 04, 2011 for Model Number MZD2766GEQ Does this part 61005619 come with the motor attached? I don't need anything but the plastic part. If this includes everything (which I am guessing it does because of the high price), is the plastic enclosure available alone?
1 Answer Hello Rosemary. 61005619 is only the holder for the ice bin, and does not include any motors or moving parts. I hope this info helps. Read More...
