CTN1511GEW Magic Chef Refrigerator - Instructions

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I followed the video that is posted on the site. It went exactly as it described, and was very straight forward and fairly easy to do.

First off, I am a woman, who did her research, and found that my problem could be fixed by one of two things. Since I heard the refrigerator making a strange noise in the top of the fridge side, I concluded that it was the Adaptive Defrost Timer which had gone bad. I watched the video on how to replace the part, and decided to go ahead and order it (it had already been replaced approx. 4 yrs ago while under warranty). The package came within 2 days - WOW! So, I unplugged, took out the interior roof of the fridge, unhooked the part, plugged in the new part and screwed it all back together. A really easy, inexpensive fix, and it now is cold in the fridge side. Thanks so much for posting the installation video - took all the guesswork out of it. Again, I am a woman, and I did the repair in about 30 minutes!

disconnected el. power to fridge. pried out broken switch with small screwdriner and pulled out w/water pump pliers. installed new switch and pressed into opening.

Removed plastic cover removed 3 screws unit droped down unpluged defrost assy pluged new assy in all working good

Replaced the defrost timer assembly.
I'm not handy at all and I was able to replace this part in about 1/2 hour.

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.

The replacement part was not the same as the original. There were no instructions on how this was to be installed. Thankfully I knew that with some wiring changes I could make it work.

In refrigerator comparment removed control cover. Simply pull it forward and it drops down. Remove four screws holding controls to inside top of refrigerator. Remove two screws holding circuit board unit (adaptive defrost timer). Unplug electrical connector and removed the part. Put new part in by removing top cover and part so the electrical plug could be installed easier. Install top part cover and screwes back into contols panel. Reinstall tyhe control panel and cover.

the vidio was great, made the replacement easy.

Verified the Freezer was coils behind the back inside panel were frozen. Read where this is typucally the ADC pcb in this model. Ordered the ADC through Part Select at a discount. About $65. Manually defrosted refridge for 2 days until part arrived. Replace ADC in the upper back right side of the frig. Turned power back on. Placed a thermometer in the Freezer and Fridge. Allowed a full day for temps to settle in -5F FZ, 38F FG. Restocked fridge. Caution - Drip pan is not big enough when manually defrosting. Suggestion - Always have a back up fridge in the garage or basement. JennAir has been the best looking and worst refridge I have ever had. Qty 2 ADC's and Qty 1 compressor start modules in the first 9 years of its life. I have $500 garage refridge that is 15 years and never had a single issue. Last Jenn Air for me. Wanna buy one?
