SRDE327S3E-P1307106WE Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

Just screwed the two parts together with the original screws (thankfully I had the presence of mind to save) and replace in the refrigerator! Being able to reorder parts after so long was wonderful. Thank you.

I removed the switch housing (4 screws), replacing the switch in the housing was a snap. It took 5 minutes, cost $8 and light works like new!

Why didn't I order this part and do the repair earlier? Very simple.

Unplugged fridge.
Opened the back panel in freezer with nut driver. Removed nuts to compressor fan mount with nut driver. Old fan blade was not fixed on fan post, i.e., spinning freely. Pressed new fan blade on, remounted fan motor mount, and plugged in fridge. Fan works. Unolugged fridge again to replace the evaporator thermostat at the same time. Note: Tug gently on the thermostat lead that goes through a hole in the back panel. The wires pull relatively easy but the hidden connector is not connected on the other end and needs to be gently tugged through that hole which is shared with a wrapped HVAC line. It wasn't too difficult but it finally pulled through. Then I pushed the new wires and connector back through the same hole. The other wire connectors around the evaporator are attached in the same manner as the old. Zipped tied the wires into a tight bundle that wouldn't interfere with the fan.
Remounted back panel in freezer with nut driver. Everything works great. Stay frosty my friends!

I did not do the repair yet, there is no schematic on how to route the hose; also no description of how to do the routing/connections.

The hardest part was getting the unit out of the refrigerator because the split caused it to drop down when it filled with ice while we were on vacation. After the ice I had to give the bucket a firm jerk to remove it. Then it was just a matter of replacing the old bucket with the new one using a phillips screw driver.

I removed the ice tray from the freeze. Turn over and remove screws holding the face plate on. Remove the 4 screws holding the crushing mechanism in place. Pull the entire mechanism out and remove the nut holding the blades together. Remember the alignment of the blades. Remove blades and then the pastic crush wheel. Replace in reverse order. Very easy.

Removed the top hinge cover with Philips screwdriver. Removed the three bolts holding the top hinge in place. Removed the top hinge, and lifted the door off the remains of the lower hinge. Unbolted the remnants of the lower hinge closure mechanism and replaced it with the new set. Reassembled the door on the lower hinge, and then replaced and bolted back on the top hinge. Door back to full working order in less than fifteen minutes.

I was thrilled to find this part. Just took out the deli drawer shelf, removed the old broken frame, and installed the new frame onto the shelf with the old screws (glad I kept them). If I hadn't found this part I would have had to give up the handy and much-used deli drawer. Thank you!

use kitchen knife to pry out. replaced switch assemble and pressed back into place. Could not have done this with out help from previous customers. Thanks

Removed Ice carrier and diassembled the Ice carrier with a socket set. Four screws, cap came right off. Placed the new one on and finished.

Pried out old part with screwdriver. Unplugged. When new part came, just plugged it in and pushed the part into place.

Removed old ejector arm and installed new part.

Take out the elbow fill tube and check to see if ice build up inside tube. Clean tube of ice build up. Replace tube back in. In my case that corrected my problem.

I just popped out the old switch with a flat head screwdriver. Removed the connections and then installed new switch by reversing steps. Popped in back in and the light went on.

Ridiculous how easy it was, REALLY!
