GT1928PACW Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

Replace the refrigerator lightbulb while traveling 88 mph then turned on the flux capacitor being carful not to get stuck in a worm hole. This allows you to fix the problem before it starts to go bad.

I simply removed the old switch by gently pulling down on the old switch with a screwdriver. When it was about half way out I just gently pulled down on the old switch and it popped out... I removed the two connectors attached to the old switch by pulling on the connectors with a pliers...I tried using my fingers but wasn't able to pull the connectors off so I used pliers. It worked perfectly.. When pulling off the old connectors, make sure you attach the new switch to the same tabs on the new switch... It was very easy to do and took under 5 mins.....The light switch works perfect....P.S. You should unplug the frig while making the connection just in case....Safety first....!!!

When the new glide rail didn't look any different that the one I thought was broken, I thought I'd assessed the wrong broken part as everytime I tried to put it in the slots it would still fall off, just like the old one.. But I went back and reread the other repair stories to get a picture in my mind what they were talking about. I realized I needed to get the glass shelf off but it wouldn't budge. I found the original information booklet and realized the two blue clips in the shelf tracks were nothing more than packing clips (we've had the fridge 8 year.) when I got those off (these took the most time and a flat head screwdriver) the shelf came right off. Then I put the glide rail brackets in the appropriate slots, pushed the rail toward the front of the shelf and when it got to the place of resistance, I just applied steady, gentle pressure to get the brackets to lock in place in the slots. Repair done, placed shelf back in fridge, put drawer back on, and it was done. Oh, forgot, I first had to take the little wheel thingy off the old raid and screw it onto the new rail before attaching the new rail to the shelf. By the Way, this was really easy to do. I'm a 66 year old grandmother and this was my first refrigerator repair. Always read the previous repair stories--they really do tell you what you need to do.

inserted a knife between the switch and the plastic interior in order to pop the switch out.
then took off the 2 wires on the old switch put them on the new switch and reinserted the switch into the plastic interior.

No repair needed. I had only to wash the new ones and use them.

Once I identified the bit that would remove the screw, the rest of the repair took 5 minutes. I removed the screw and discarded the remains of the original but now broken shelf support. With the same screw I simply attached the new shelf support that I received from PartSelect.com. End of story.

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.

Very simple fix, remove 3 screws, two connectors to the old switch

The light rocker switch wasnt working. I found the part on the web site. It was so easy. I used a screw driver to pop out the old one and pop the new one in. It took 5 min. Thanks!!!

After watching videos how to replace went very easy.removed ice maker cut wires replaced switch put back together now working ok so far.

installed new part easy

Popped rail off and replaced with new one. Video showed how to do it. A bit tight to remove and just needed a little strength and patience.

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.

Unplug refrigerator.
Pry switch out with putty knife
Remove two wires from switch
Attach wires to new switch

I took a chance and ordered a switch that is next to the top of the door. looked for how to remove it easily done in ten minutes works fine last long time.
