HMG19153-0 Admiral Refrigerator - Instructions

I pried the old one out with a screw driver and pushed the new one in. I expected instructions in the box it came in but there were none.

I pulled down the wire around the glass cover. . . Released on end of the wire from its holder being careful to not let the glass cover drop. Unscrewed the bulb and replaced with replacement. Easy, easy.

Please bear in mind I am 65 years old & it was harder to get up & down off the floor then to change the switch. Was very easy - watched video, unplugged unit. I used the putty knife at the right front corner to work loose, when it came loose had to loose the left side a little. The unit pulled out easily. detached the wired that had a single plug with 2 prongs on it. Attached the plug, pushed new switch into place. There was no way you could place wires on wrong prong. When done, plugged refrigerator back in & checked if working. I CAN SEE THE LIGHT and the food in the freezer now. Thank you for making an easy repair.

followed the video as instructed. Saved two repairman calls, one to find the problem, one to install. Net savings was about $130.00

Received the part the day after ordering. Appreciated the quick service and repair took less than a minute.

We tried repairing with a new switch which was very easy to install but it didn't fix the problem.

This is an easy fix, simply remove and replace. What I was impressed with is that a how to video was provided along with my part. I wish all manufactures would offer this, the video was easy to understand and you had a good view of the operation. Thanks, a job well done.

We were not hearing the water turning on to fill the icemaker tray. Took a chance it was the inlet valve. We were right. Removed old one, found on the lower back side of the frig. Unplugged electric supply, plugged new one in and refastened. In 5 minutes we were hearing the water turn on to fill the tray! Thanks

Simply stick a putty knife between the switch and refrig wall. Pop out old swith, remove both wires by pulling off switch by terminals. Throw switch out. Put wires on new switch and push into slot and all done. Nothing to it! Took me 5 minutes if th

Partselect was great, but I "Gilligan-ed" on the fix changing both the icemaker AND water feed solenoid, BEFORE determining the white rubber water feeder tube that installs from back of fridge and feeds ice maker tray inside of freezer was frozen/ blocked. Make sure you check this FIRST, by proding a screw driver up the tube inside freezer and/ or pulling feeder tube out from back of fridge. If the blockage is substantial enough, it will make removal difficult until melts and tube contracts. Good luck!!

After receiving the new part almost immediately,using two screw drivers, removed the broken switch from the plastic frame. Be careful not to scratch or otherwise tear the plastic...very pliable. Since the original switch was factory installed and the wires were packed in fiberglass insulation, the switch came out but the wires and clips were still in place and could not reach the new switch. It was necessary to pull them down with bent long nose pliers...used a lot of "pull" but the wires held up.Connected the switch, turned the power on and there was light! Reports from other users really took the uncertainty out of the task.

Unscrewed the right control knob. Removed the left temperature control knob (there is no screw holding it), removed one screw to rear of small panel then pried open from the rear of the small panel, there are two plastic tabs in front of the small panel holding it in place. Unscrewed the failed control unit and replaced it with the new one. Replaced the small panel and screw then the left side control knob, making sure of the alignment in the "off" position as the knob has to be pressured into a clamp arrangement on the cold control thermostat. Re-screwed the right knob into place, as well.

Fairly simple install. Shut off water supply. Removed the old unit. Reversed order and installed the new unit. Turned water back on. Checked for leaks. . . Then put fridg. Back in position. Fixed the problem. . . Makes nice cubes. . .

I followed the repair instructions the Part Select site provided for this replacement valve. The only differences were I needed a small socket/wrench set in place of screw drivers.

I unpluged the refrig, removed the shelves and the back panel on the freezer side of the unit. This exposed the fan motor and fan blade. I removed two screws holding the fan unit in place, unpluged the wires connecting the fan unit to power, and then removed two other screws securing the fan motor to the bracket. I removed the fan motor blade from the old unit and installed it on the new fam motor. I replaced the fan unit into the bracket, pluged the wires back into the fan motor and secured the motor to the refrig. Replaced the back panel and shelves, pluged the refrig into the wall.....easy.
