5VA1RXGFYW00 Amana Refrigerator - Instructions

1 removed bottom off old ice maker (3 hex screws) and ice drop shield (white plastic ice flips over into ice holder, old unit had different drop angle, see how described below, but I just musled it off the old unit) 2 removed "ice sensing bar off new ice maker and rotated mechanical sensor to on (leatherman tiny flat head) 3 removed end cap from new ice maker, then loosened to large screws (Phillips, leatherman) for motor unit cover. This allowed removal of ice drop shield on new unit (two tabs, one at each end). 4 removed ice drop shield and installed old ice dropshield on new unit 5 tightened two endcap screws (Phillips/leatherman) and reinstalled end cap 6 installed old bottom unit/tray on new ice maker (3 screws) 7 ensured wiring matched and routed plug properly 8 installed unit slides in 9 plugged unit to existing plug 10 installed old wiring shield (1 hex screw). Waited two hours to verify water valve worked properly, although IR codes did indicate "okay". Machine has been making ice and IR sensor shuts it off properly. So far a success. I have many spare parts if I need to do further repairs including a new water solenoid. Only saying it was a bit difficult because of the parts exchange, in actuality for me it was really easy.

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

took door of the refergarator. Then cut old gusket of and clipped the new one on and then put the back. Done!!!!!

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.

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!!!

It was perfect and timely

rippped the old one off and carfully put the new one on with a flat head screwdriver at an angle as not to rip the new one

The gasket has an inner lip that fits over the edge of the door plastic liner. The old gasket was removed by pulling it straight out, in the plane of the door. Try not to pull sideways as it could crack the door liner, which gets brittle with age. The new liner had a brown magnetic strip, which holds the door closed, and this fits behind the edge of the door liner. Start on the bottom of the door. A helper is useful to hold the gasket loosely vertical. A flat blade screwdriver can be used to pry away the liner to insert the new seal. Once you have worked in the lower edge, install both sides, and then the top. Some juggling side-to-side may be needed for an exact fit

Replaced gaskets on both doors. Followed the online video link that came with emailed receipt. Worked exactly like demonstrated in the video.

Removed old gasket. Wiped everything down. Popped in new gasket.
It was a little tedious, but it went in easy enough. Some reviews said the new gasket was kinked and bent. Mine I am happy to say was smooth. Some things are still getting quite cold like vegetables and ginger ale.(almost freezing). But it is way better than it was. Saved us from having to purchase another refrigerator. The fellow who helped me made it easy to order and everything went smoothly. I appreciate the help and patience you provided.

I changed the bulb but it still didn’t work. I ordered a bulb holder and replaced it and it works properly now. It was an easy repair, remove the bulb, gently pry the bulb holder out with a screwdriver and snap the new one in.

It was useful that under the description of the part in the catalog, it showed that this part was often used to repair this issue. The service was great and the delivery was fast.

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.

Using a screwdriver

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

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