Gene C Maricopa , AZ November 14, 2015 Appliance: Kenmore Refrigerator 59676523500 Broken icemaker I am not a plumber, but very good with anything mechanical. I uninstalled the broken icemaker, swapped the wiring and ice bar from the old icemaker to the new one, and installed the new icemaker all in 12 minutes and 37 seconds from start to finish, which includes pulling out the two freezer baskets and pulling off the freezer door. This repair could not have been any simpler. Great product! Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers
Linh V Galloway , NJ August 15, 2016 Appliance: Maytag Refrigerator ABB2522FEW11 Fridge warm freezer cold failed defrost thermostat Initially purchased an evap fan motor, as it was listed as the most common failed component. Of course, once I pulled the cover out of the freezer, the fan motor was just fine, but the coils were a block of ice. So far, it looks like the thermostat was the source of the issue. For anyone experiencing the warm fridge, cold freezer, I recommend pulling the cover off and taking a look before ordering any parts. The video was spot on for the Amana ABB2522FEW fridge and made the repair a piece of cake. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers
Edward S Oakmont , PA June 14, 2021 Water on the floor and ice tray was a mess. Took things apart after watching the videos and saw the ice maker was functional but all corroded or dirty with stuff from water and in watching the video realized the water on the floor was unrelated to the ice maker. I bought the parts to make the repair. Two comments to the videos, the one for the icemaker should show how to get the top basket out of the freezer. I found another video that showed how to do that and was much easier to get to the ice maker and to remove the back panel. In the second video on the drain tube upgrade the guy just grabs the old tube and pulls it out no mention of the tab that holds it in. stuck a screwdriver in there pressed the tab and it came right out. Finally, might be a good idea to say it takes about an hour or so to get the ice chunks out of the bottom of the freezer and around the thermistor cover. I had a huge chunk behind the cover that took almost an hour by itself and was all around the wires and copper tubes coil going to the heat exchanger so I couldn't just break it out. The heat gun was a plus but mine was so bad I had about an hour and a half to melt it last night. Today, no water on the floor and ice is being made. Hopefully good for a few more years. Read More...
