Broke the Rocker Switch in Fridge side
Popped out with butter knife and unplugged 3 prong connector and reversed with anew switch.

But, unfortunately it got broken again exactly same way as before.
So, I ordered same switch again for 2nd time.

Maytag should recall that Rocker Switch and build with better materials.

lights wouldn't come on/work in refrigerator
Referencing the info/schematics you have on your website, I unscrewed/unattached top-front panel (carefully), from behind the panel you have to detach the wires (2) from the switch, pushed "in" the switch to remove, put in new switch and attach wires to test BEFORE remounting panel. Tada!! Thank you PartSelect! You saved me at least $80...would have been at least $100 to have a repair person come to the house!

Light switch wasn't working.. As I would close the door I would notice our frig light wasn't going off...
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....!!!

broken light switch in the freezer
We removed the old switch, unplugged it, plugged the new one in and it was easy to do. But when we tried to put the switch back in we had a very hard time doing it. Eventually got it in, but if it had not been for the difficulty we had getting the new switch to snap in to place, it would have taken under 5 minutes.

susan from herndon, VA
Parts Used:
WPW10460580, W10311524
Difficulty Level:
Difficult
Total Repair Time:
More than 2 hours
Tools:
Socket set
10 years old, bifold top doors, right side seal torn, causing the refridge to not seal and lose cooling capability from leakage
WITH PATIENCE! removal of door and old seal no problem! Followed the video- very clear. The part was difficult. Ornery plastic that needed to be softened and clipped (in comes the hairdryer and vaseline)- First corner great! the other 3 -patience. we set the door on a folding table with a towel on top to prevent scratches and ability to slide it around . inserting the dense plastic flange to clip under the seal was the most difficult . i approached the insertion from the opposite side so I was PULLING the seal into place with the base of a putty knife.( instead of my pushing fingers-70 arthritic- use tools to help!!
It took bit longer, a challenge- can be done, I am so happy i don't have to look for a new refrigerator!!!! Thank you for that instructional video which gave me the courage for the repair.

fridge door switch did not work
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.
