crisper rail broken
remove two crispers and glass top . Replace rail. Note This is 3rd time this part in about 5 years has needed replcement. If there is a next time I would expect a "freebe". Service is great and replacement rail came in jig time.
We had to take a few parts from our broken piece to attach to the crisper. It would have been easier if there were some sort of instructions to get the pieces off. We were finally able to get the metal rod off and attach to the new piece. It was rather easy,
Just like the video showed me.It still does not work. Have to turn it off and on to make it start up.I also replaced thermostat in freezer. Does not work.
Took out both crispers. Removed glass shelf on top of crisper support. Removed small broken piece of rail still held in place. Inserted new crisper rail and put crispers back in place.
The rail had broken off, so there was nothing to remove, except the crisper drawers. I had called an amana repair service and the repairman told the part was about $9 and the cost to install was $127. When I almost fainted, he told me I could probably do it myself. Wow, was he right! I ordered the part, it came in about 2 days, I looked at the rail, removed the glass shelf, hooked the rail into the little opening at the back, and bang! All done. It took me 10 seconds!!
Finding the part that I needed was incredibly easy. I usually leave all repairs to my husband but I was getting frustrated that my vegetables were freezing due to the drawer laying right on the wall dividing the freezer area. I took it upon myself to search for parts by using the refrigerator model number, This site is the BEST!! By providing pictures of the parts and where they go I was able to order the correct one. It arrived within a few days and I installed it in less than 5 minutes. I was relieved that I had ordered the correct part and my husband was pleasantly surprised that I took care of it myself. Thanks
Broken center rail, sagging crisper trays (cheap part)
I had to remove the 2 drawers, naturally, but then found I also had to remove the glass shelf and bracket that holds them, because the end of the center rail had broken off and stuck in the recess of the shelf. No problem. Washed the shelf and the end piece fell out, eliminating the need for pliers or tweezers. Put the new center rail in place, replaced the shelf, replaced the 2 crisper drawers and, "voila" - good as new (until next time some big, strong guy slams the crisper drawer). Thanks for quick delivery; I don't often get in the mood to fix things, so when I do it's nice the part arrives before my fixing-muse flies away.
