SRD325S5E-P1307201WE Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

A very cold and brittle switch in a 17 year old fridge. Used screwdrivers to pry out with some resistance Had to cut the molded plug in half and split wires, because replacement contacts were farther apart than the original. End result, works great.

Remove the grandkids pictures from the door then empty the contents inside the door. Remove the top hinge cover and the top hinge bracket. Lift the door off the bottom pivot. Replace the lower cam by removing one screw. With the door in the horizontal position, remove and replace the upper cam. Apply a little grease on both cam surfaces. Align the door before tightening the top bracket and your done. If you did not take a picture of the door before you started the project you will have to rely on memory to arrange the pictures in the proper location.

I followed the other web notes with one change .Since I too forgot the lube , I used a pry bar and block of wood to lift the door and a tooth pick to glob some lube in the lower hinge.

Removed the top hinge (4 screws)-lifted the door off of the lower hinge-replaced both halves of the cam kit and mounted the door and reattached the upper hinge.
Probably took about fifteen minutes total.

Removed the old one put in a new one, fairly simple. Would have been much easier if I had called the manufacturer first then ordered the part. The first part I ordered was the ice bucket, I thought I was getting the crusher mechanism, but it turned out to be the bucket only. When I finally got the right part it was really easy. I went ahead and kept the new bucket anyway.

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

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.

Removed everything from above shelf. Removed entire assembly from fridge. (Easy, just clips into back) Then removed the rail assembly from the shelf and replaced with the new rails. Also had to remove the little roller wheels from the old assembly and put them on new rails. All this took less than 20 minutes to do, including taking out and replacing the food.

I am really glad you provide this service. I really like my "old" fridge and this was the only problem I have had in all the time I have owned it. Thanks for all your help and helpful diagrams.

Part was easy to order, delivered quickly, installation very easy. Just unplug the unit, pop out the old swich using a screwdriver, disconnect and reconnect leads and pop switch back in. Definitely recommend that you can do it too.

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.

Unplug appliance. Socket wrench to unscrew two screws. Module drops down. disconnected two press-on wires by prying off with screwdriver. Removed old switch. Press-fit new switch. Reconnected two wires (color coded). Screwed module back in place. Plug in appliance.

removed the 2 screws that held the panel in place, had to reach up and push on locking tabs to lower trhe front of the panel. was able to then push on the locking tab of the switch to release it. removed the wires, replaced them onto the new switch, and snapped the switch into place. the rest was reverse of the uninstall process.

Called Parts Select on Wednesday. Spoke to tech who found the exact part I needed at less than the price on the site. Said it would be 3-5 days, no problem. When I got home Thursday afternoon, part was already there ready to be installed. Very pleased.

Pry old switch and pull out. Disconect two wires. Put two wires on new switch, must be inserted right and connections not loose. Put switch in, making shure wies do not come off and snap in place

removed top hinge, lifted door off bottom hinge, replaced cam, installed door.
