12001892 Maytag Refrigerator Water Valve

• Maytag

My refrigerator was making ice but the water function on the front of the freezer door stopped allowing us to get water. I did some research & used a meter to find out both valves on the back of the fridge had stopped working. Each valve had 2 different sets of wire terminals, 4 total between both valves, and one of the wire terminals on each valve was faulty. This allowed the ice to continue to be produced but could not pump water to the door.

Price: (Rating 5 out of 5)

After looking locally I found prices were almost double what I found on Amazon.

Ordering/Shipping: (Rating 2 out of 5)

I ordered both valves (Maytag 12001892 & Whirlpool 61005626) from a vendor on Amazon. I passed up the opportunity to save a couple more dollars by buying them from California and instead I chose the vendor, Pandora's OEM Appliance Parts, which are located closer to Michigan hoping they would arrive to my house a little sooner w/o paying expediting fees. I ordered them over the weekend and I assumed they would process the order on Monday, but after not getting any kind of shipping confirmation I sent a message to the vendor asking for an ETA. To my surprise they said they don't ship on Mondays & it wouldn't get processed until Tuesday. After they did ship it it arrived a few day later, which was the same day that the California company estimated the delivery originally so I missed out on saving a couple dollars.

Product: (2 out of 5)

Once the product arrived, I ran into some issues and challenges I was not expecting.

The first item, 12001892, was completely not what I ordered, it was a part for a washing machine. After talking to Pandora's OEM Appliance Parts they shipped out a new one from some other supplier located a couple miles from my house that arrived the next day. They even admitted that another customer

The second item, 61005626 had THREE problems:

1) it was not an exact match to what the old valve looked like, but this was not the fault of the vendor. Whirlpool made the decision to no longer use valves that allow the water lines to thread into them and they now push into a compression fitting so this required extra work I was not expecting. With the some great help from Pandora's OEM Appliance Parts they explained what I need to do. I had to buy new tubing and a converter compression fitting.

2) After getting everything together I found out one of the compression fittings on the actual valve was broken & would not seal correctly. It was leaking water very badly! So I had to again call the supplier and have them send another one. Again the sent it from the same supplier that they knew that happened to be located a couple miles from my house. I asked if I could just go there and pick it up and they would not allow it so I had to wait another day.

3) The new valve that arrived the next day was different from what they shipped me the first time and had two different size valves. It was actually looked like the original one with the threads I was replacing but now I had to redo some of the other "extra work" I did and put in a different size water tube and add an extension of the tube with a compression fitting to make it work.

Functionality: (4 out of 5)

But after it was all done, everything worked. The next question is for how long?

Vendor/Customer Service: (2 or 3???? out of 5)

I am not sure how to rate them, this entire project was all over the place and took a lot longer then it ever should have. Pandora's OEM Appliance Parts helped me out a lot and was good at getting back to me with questions and my many concerns. They did a great job taking care of the customer and shipping the replacements over-night, but ULTIMATELY HAD THEY TAKEN THE TIME TO DO THE JOB CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME and check the quality of the items and verify what was being shipped matched what was ordered a lot of this could have been avoided.

Consider that while this part may work fine, it failed and failed again. Maytag makes cheap products and does not provide adequate support for their products.

Avoid Maytag products.

I had to replace both sets of valves on the back of my Maytag "Wide by Side" fridge (purchased

in 2002)in order to have a functioning ice maker and water dispenser. This was the second set.

The kit came with all necessary unions, nuts and the like that could possibly be needed. Works

perfectly now.

Vinotemp VT-28TEDS Thermo-Electric Digital 28-Bottle Wine Chiller, Black and Stainless

• Freestanding digital wine chiller keeps up to 28 bottles properly chilled
• Thermo-electric cooling system protects wine from unnecessary vibration
• Ultra-quiet operation; does not use ozone-depleting chemicals
• Energy-efficient dual-paned glass door; 6 pull-out shelves included
• Measures 22 by 18-1/4 by 28-1/2 inches; 1-year limited warranty

Prior to purchase I had read various reviews about the unit's inability to properly cool. Despite the warning, I went ahead, hoping for better luck, as the unit had the best combination of price/capacity. I decided the best approach was to give the unit a trial run by getting it at my local target so that I could return it if it didn't work. I purchased a refrigerator thermometer along with it just to keep it honest. Sure enough, the unit was only able to knock about 10 degrees off of the ambient temperature, despite brazenly claiming to be at 56 degrees.

On the plus side, it was indeed quiet and sleek looking but it would've been nice to have some more cooling capability. For my purposes, however, this was fine. My intent was to prevent exposure to heat and I grew to like drinking my reds at about 65 degrees.

Flash forward one year and last night I reached into my cooler to find the bottles warm. A check of the thermometer showed that the inside of my vinotemp was now the balmiest spot in the house at 78 degrees. I tried cleaning the filter, unplugging etc. and once restarted the unit whirrs away uselessly; mindlessly warming the inside bottles. For $200, all I was able to coax out of this thing was a year of disingenuous underperformance.

We bought this cooler to store some of our $50+ bottles of wine we don't have a huge collection by any means, but just wanted to make sure some of the better wine didn't get destroyed by a hot CA day.

The fridge took a day or so to cool down after filling it to capacity. I haven't tried measuring the actual temp using a seperate thermometer, but it says 54 and feels about the same. Although initially it was very quiet, it does whirr regularly, but it's still pretty quiet considering we have it 5ft from our living room couch and it doesn't bother us at all.

I wrote this review so I could include the capacity since one of my biggest problems when looking for a cooler was that it's very hard to tell what will actually fit. At max we filled this cooler with 2 magnums resting on the bottom, 3 champagne bottles and 17 bordeaux/burgundy style 750ml bottles. It suprised me that there was enough room for all this. The magnums fit diagonally (and there's not a lot of space, but it worked) after removing one shelf and raising the other. You won't be able to fit more than 3 champagne bottles on one shelf, but if you removed every other shelf I could see someone fitting up to about 12 or so champagne bottles total in the cooler. Yes, you should be a little careful when removing standard bottles because the fit is a little tight (just lift up the shelf above slightly and you will be fine) but the idea is not to be adding and removing bottles all the time so I don't think it's a big deal.

Hopefully that gives people an idea of the size of this cooler. It's worked out perfectly for us.

I got the unit from a target store on a great holiday sale. I probably wouldn't pay retail for it. I set it up and let it sit overnight, then plugged it in and let it sit overnight again. With the thermostat set at 55 (the lowest possible), my own thermometer placed inside reads 60. It seems to be able to hold at 60 pretty well as the ambient temp in my desert apartment fluctuates through the day (no higher than 80 for the ambient temp).

The 60 degrees is not the best temp for storing wine, but its really not that bad for my $20-and-under-per-bottle collection. As I understand it (after talking to lots of people), the extra few degrees will eventually cut short the life of the bottle, but should be fine for a few to several years. I don't think my wines will go un-drunk that long.

In summary, I bought this cellar/fridge to store my wines, not to preserve them for 20 years. I needed something that was between a closet and a regular fridge. I also wanted something that had low noise, so I went with this instead of a compressor model. I think it works well for these purposes, especially at the discount sale price. It looks nice and doesn't have too much extra bulk.

If you are looking for something for long term cellaring of finer wines, I would recommend looking for a slightly colder unit. If you just want decent storage, this may work fine for you.

(there's two of these same items listed on amazon with the same model number I own, so I put the same review on both one is VT28TEDS and the other is VT-28TEDS)

This product is so good I bought a second one. I especially like the non-compressor cooling, which works very well. The digital readout indicates temperature to readily be maintained at my 60 degree setting, which I consider to be a good European wine cellar temperature. They are totally silent. I bought the first unit on Amazon, and the second from Target where it was on sale and much cheaper than the Amazon price. The unit's packaging was fine, and had no cosmetic damage. I have moved them twice within the family room without issues.

I just recently was given this wine fridge as a Wedding gift from my in-laws. I have to say that I am quite satisfied with it thus far. I was rather concerned when I first got it being that I instantly went online and checked out personal reviews of the product. It seems that on many different online sites including amazon, there are a lot of complaints that this fridge does not cool. To be honest, I am not having that problem at all thus far in the first week.

I followed the instructions, let it sit for over 2 hours prior to plugging in...then got it up and running. I let the fridge run for 2 days prior to putting any wine in it because I wanted to get a thermometer first to check the temperature since I had heard so many complaints regarding the temp. The fridge temp gauge read 55, and my thermometer read 57...quite close. I then put about 10 bottles in it and while having the door open the temp went back up to the low 60s. Well, I now have waited over night, and the temp gauge is reading 55 again...my thermometer is reading 56, and it appears to be working perfectly. I read many reviews that insist this fridge won't go below 60, or in some cases even below 65. I am clearly getting the right temperature on mine. All in all, great product so far.

Good News:

Does not seem to be a gimmick fridge, it is truly a fridge because my cokes were indeed ICE COLD!!!

Bad News:

It buzzes and it breathes. Think of Darth Vader! Yes, that type of breathing sound! It is weird to say the least. I think it's good for a game room where you won't be sleeping, but if you're thinking about bedroom, FORGET IT! There is no break, no cycling as others have mentioned. For some reason, mine is a constant buzz, constant breathing. Maybe it's because I have the setting at "COOLEST," but why wouldn't you want your cokes to be as cold as can be?

A WORD ABOUT THE PACKAGING AND DELIVERY:

Now Amazon has pulled this product and I know exactly why since I bought it. It's kinda funny actually. It's shipped to you in it's retail box. Meaning they do not put it inside a real shipping box. They do put one of those plastic ribbons around it. There was only 1 ribbon! They didn't bother to secure it with a second cross ribbon. Anyway, shipping without a brown shipping box isn't anything out of the ordinary. Heck, my recent drill press from Amazon was shipped that way. It's not good if you live in a bad area and you're not home, and people can clearly see a brand spanking new Coke Fridge on your porch. However, that's not the problem. Once I was able to drag the box inside my house and I was lifting by the plastic ribbon, it was starting to slide to one side. Good thing it did not slide off!!! Because once inside the house, I cut the ribbon with a scissor, but I decided I needed to move the box to another room. I bend down to grab the box by its left and right side squatting like a weightlifter, when I got up the box felt very light. The fridge was still on the floor!! LOL! They apparently cut all four sides of the bottom with an exacto knife or something. Now do you see how dangerous it was for them to only put one plastic ribbon around the box?

I don't know if the packaging is prepared this way by Nostalgia Electronics, or if this is Amazon's idea of frustration free packaging. LOL! Anyway, I'm sure this is why they have pulled the item for the time being.

I'm going to return mine due to the noise and a ding/dent I found on the side of the door fridge, probably due to the lack of real packaging. But I will package it and return it to them better than how they delivered it to me.

The item is cute and works well. People complained of noise, but I don't hear it at all over my radio (which is not loud) at work. It does keep items very cold. My complaint is the packaging. It arrived in it's original box within a packing box; however, there was no padding whatsoever. The fridge had a dent on the side and the top was scratched in a few spots. I didn't feel like packaging it back up since it keeps things cold, but I'm very annoyed that it was damaged before it even came out of the box.
