Drive ring was cracked (power failure & froze-up when power came on)
I read what other people had done so I tried the easiest solution--Forced, without breaking, the plastic & fit the ring right where it needed to be.

Kickplate was broken where hinge covers attach
Repair requires the removal of the bottom hinges on the doors. No problem for the refrigerator side, but the freezer side has wiring in the freezer door for the water/ice dispenser, so have some wood blocks handy to prop it up. Biggest challenge is that in the center of the kickplate there is a mounting screw (Torx head) that is behind the kickplate and runs vertically. I removed the old kickplate without removing this screw, just broke the kickplate off. The screw is very difficult to access with any tool. Removal wasn't too terrible because the old kickplate was gone; but insertion with the new kickplate in place was a challenge. I used a Torx socket, but because there isn't enough clearance for the ratchet, I held the socket into place by wedging a large flat blade screwdriver between the bottom of the socket and the floor. I was just able to get my index finger under the new kickplate to slowly turn the socket to fasten the screw. Unfortunately I didn't feel as though I could skip the screw - without it the kickplate sags in the center.

annual replacement
have always done it myself, but Maytag store closed, so I didn't know where to purchase filter
I received it from Parts Select, in 2 days and if I remember right, price was cheaper than I paid last year, at store.

Water/Ice actuator would stick and stay on
Be sure to unplug the fridge as there is live power on the circuit board you'll be handling/removing. Trust me on this.
Slide out the ice tray, remove the screws holding on the outer plastic frame (taking the thin/flat wiring off carefully), remove the next set of screws, then slide off the mechanism. The water spout is flexible and you might need to bend it a little. Good time to clean it off as well.
Changing the actuator switch and plastic pad is mostly self explanatory (look at old one, remove, and reverse steps to put new one). Takes about 30-seconds for this part.

The brackets holding the door baskets in our refrigerator broke.
I simply removed the old brackets and replaced with the new ones. Can't get any easier than that!

Original drive ring broke
The most time-consuming part was removing the screws. First, remove the 8 screws that attaches the ice bin to the front cover. This will free up the auger enough to pull up the back end where the drive ring is held in place. The ring just pops right out. The only thing I recommend is as long as you have the bin out (and empty), go ahead and give it a good wash. Make sure it is thoroughly dry so that no ice freezes to the moving parts.

Renters overloaded meat drawer & broke drawer rails
Good news/Bad news story. One of your parts view showed the side rails without the drawer rollers another showed the rails with rollers. I ordered the rails expecting that they would come with the rollers attached. They did not so I had to place a second order for two rollers and two screws. As I live in CA, delivery was just a day for first order, but for second I ordered on Sat, delivery was on Tuesday. My complaint was double shipping and handling so total was almost $50.for two very simple items.

Water fountain and ice dispenser would sometimes stick on
Removed the face plate by removing the two screws under the fountain catch tray on the front of the fridge, and then sliding the cover up and off. Removed 3 screws to remove the dispenser and the limit switch was easily accessible on the back side. Also changed the actuator pad because the old one looked cosmetically bad.

Broken Actuator, water/ice switch getting stuck
First, I removed the water/ice fountain panel - remove the 4 screws and disconnect the panel buttons cable. Second, I removed the panel circuit board - remove the two screws and disconnect the two wire connectors. Third, I pulled the water/ice fountain compartment. Removed the broken rubber pad (actuator pad), and installed the new one -- no tools needed for this step. Finally, I put everything back together. TIP: If the water/ice switch gets stuck, even with the new actuator, find a spring that can fit the switch pin that comes with the actuator. I had that problem, and I simply added a small spring.)
