GT1924NXCW Maytag Refrigerator - Instructions

I watched the video and thought "I can do this". Made some notes and then proceeded to remove the old switch and replace with the new one. Thank you.

I have never before seen a bulb with the filament intact not light. If the bulb's filament seems intact, screw the bulb into a known working lamp and see if it lights. When screwing it back into the socket in the fridge, it takes a bit of extra effort to fully seat (until it does, it won't light!). For replacing the switch, I unplugged the unit, used a paint scraper and worked it under the switch bezel from the right side. A bit of moxie, and the switch came out. The replacement switch had a different spade contact spacing than the original. I used a pair of scissors to cut the rubber bridge between the two switch wire connectors so I could connect to the new switch. In the end, it turned out to be the bulb. NOTE: The Model TC18KL is _not_ listed! What I finally found that the number "P7803211WL" on the sticker is actually a manufacturing code. Found this out by searching, and Sears' part search came up with matches.

After watching the video it was a snap. Defrosting the freezer took the longest time. I used a hair dryer to melt the ice. Once the freezer compartment was clear of ice the removal and installation were a step by step procedure which the video showed in detail. It's been about a week since I installed the bimetal defrost thermostat and it seems to be working like new. Sure glad I researched this problem on the internet instead of calling a very expensive repairman! Thanks partselect. Com!!!

Simply replaced part. Press fit shelf retaining bar back into place. I was just glad you had this obscure part which was easy to find on you website.

Removed keeper on left side, slid trim into keeper on right, attached left keeper to trim, re-inserted keeper onto door.

put the end caps on

I had ordered some other parts for something entirely different off your website and service was great. So after almost ten years of a dark refrigerator, because of a defective switch, I decided to see if you had the part to fix it... You did and the part got here in 3 days. I had a working light switch and all the light in the world where my husband needed it most (in the fridge). It took me at the most ten minutes to replace the part. All is well now and I have a happy husband who can find the leftovers just fine. Thanks for your great service!

I just reinstalled the glass I received.

We tried repairing with a new switch which was very easy to install but it didn't fix the problem.

followed the video instruction from part select web site

After thinking it would be impossible to find the parts I needed to fix my old refrigerator I found PartSelect.com. I was surprised that not only did they carry the parts but all were in stock. The actual repair was as easy as the ordering. For the shelf retainer bars and end caps I just put the ends on the bars and snapped it into the door. Care should be taken not to try to bend the end caps too much to insert into the door or they will break at the inside of the bar. They are only thin plastic. I actually bought two spares for future if needed. For the crisper drawer shelf support I used my 1/4" nut driver and removed the piece of the old support with the screw and installed the new one. Do not over tighten the screw or you might a: strip the hole out the sheet metal screw goes in or b: damage the new support or both.

My husband was cleaning shelf. Took to kitchen sink to wash, hit edge & glass shelf broke in a million pieces. We ordered the replacement that night (Wednesday) & received new glass on Friday. Couldn't believe how fast the turnaround was. New glass was installed in seconds & we were good to go. Only without shelf for a day & a half. I now know where to order parts from. Thanks.

This is an easy fix, simply remove and replace. What I was impressed with is that a how to video was provided along with my part. I wish all manufactures would offer this, the video was easy to understand and you had a good view of the operation. Thanks, a job well done.
