GT2128PEFW Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

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.

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.

Broken for over 5 years!!! lost power in a storm freezer empty got model # went to google found partselect very easy to order. Parts came in less than 2 days, popped one in on each side very easy!!! very very happy!

Was amazed that I could find parts for a model more than 10 years old. Hardest part was figuring out which was the left rail and which was the right. Then it was a snap with no tools

Took out lower shelf. Unscrewed screws holding two broken shelf supports and removed broken supports. Replaced with new supports and screwed in the screws. Nothing to it.

I noticed that the refrigerator was having trouble maintaining temperature. Thought it might be time for new one until I found out that a new frig was $5k to $7K. Just happened to notice that the light switch didn't look quite right (was not sitting sqaure to the door). Once I pressed it it came loose. I then realized the the lights were staying on (50 watts of heating). Replaced the switch and the frig started working like new.

Took both left(broken one) and right brackets off. They come out opposite what you may think. You must pull down on them and then out. Previous post alerted me to pull down, and he was right. Pliers helped give me leverage.

I put the shelves into bracket on both sides before inserting them back into position. Popped right in with a firm push.

All's well that ends well.

Great service. Unpluged old switch and pluged in new one. Works great

Popped the old one out with a kitchen knife and popped the new one back in. It tool less than 15 seconds!!

My husband did it in less than two minutes. He removed the old part using a small screwdriver and simply inserted the new part. It was the easiest, quickest repair we ever did! PS The part arrived only a couple of days after ordering it. The service was wonderful!

My owners manual said to unplug fridge from elec outlet, use a kitchen knife to gently pry off the switch plate
(manual had a pictoral example), unclip the two wire, replace with on new switch and replace the switch. Close
door and plug back in. Open door to check that the lite
works. Walla! It did. Thanks!

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.

Removed screw holding the broken support then using the same screw installed new support. Easy job.

Removed the Crisper drawers and shelf. I then used a nutdriver to remove the broken supports, and installed the new supports using the same screws.

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.
