    Thanks for this great tutorial. This was exactly my problem. I had a feeling it was the rails but wasn't sure how to take it all apart. Same model, same side, everything. Took a bit more playing around with the rails, but did the trick! Donate if Scott helped you out!

    My Maytag French door refrigerator has been "jingling" off and on for over six months. I had two repairmen out here to fix it and neither one knew what to do. They wanted to start replacing parts, starting with the main electronic control board. Both recommended not to waste my money cuz it could mean replacing more parts and still not know what is wrong with it. They suggested buying a new one, it is 8 yrs old but i felt like it should last longer than that. I did order a refurbished board from EBay and replaced the old one but it continuted to jingle, so i did a little more research and came upon this page. I really didn't think it could be something as simple as cleaning the seal around the door, especially since it didn't seem dirty in the first place but i did just that. It's been close to 24 hours now and it hasn't jingled or chimed and it's back to making ice. Before it wouldn't get below 20 degrees so it wasn't making ice either. I pray that this little fix solved my problem. It cost me almost $300 for those two guys to do a service call and they did nothing.
    Thank you so much for posting this video.

  • @Rbenterprises4
    @Rbenterprises4 11 місяців тому +2

    The freezer was previously building up a great deal of ice as the right side lacked 1/2” inch closing all the way. Once the upper drawers and bottom tub are removed, you can press on those side tabs in the tracks and the entire door/tracks will slide forward and out. My right hand plastic gear was not meshed on the corresponding gear on the other side. My friend just had some movers take the refrigerator apart to move it through the home’s front door. They just did not pay attention when they reassembled it at the new house. Good video!

    • @Rbenterprises4

    Thanks Scott had done it once before, but needed that little refresher! After I had all the food out and the lower basket out, it occurred to me that I may not have to remove the screws or the upper basket. With the upper basket pulled forward, I was able to reach behind it with a screwdriver and press the slide rail release tabs on each side. I was able to pull the slides out about 6" and then reset them as you showed in the video. So far, that short cut looks to be working :) Thanks again for your video.
    PS - when I was done, I wrapped some duct tape sticky side out around each end of the handle to remind everyone to only pull the drawer open from the center!!

    The TRICK is:
    To have the left AND right geared wheels of the door,.. engage the toothed rail of the freezer properly.
    If you get them engaged evenly and your door is still a 1/4 crooked,. go ahead and engage one gear a tooth ahead of the other side.
    For some reason, my left gear needs to be one tooth ahead of the right side for the door to land flat. But now it is perfect! Thanks.
