i installed a new water bottle i ordered for
my amana part no.AP119793 (R0181175)
Wtr tank kit.it is a different looking bottle
because maytag changed it. in the
instructions that came with it. it says to
note the outlet and inlet of the old tank but
fails to tell you what the inlet and outlet of
the new tank is. also it dosent tell you the
orientation of how the new bottle goes into the
refrigator.on the old one the outlet and inlet
were on the top when fastened to the
refrigator. the new one can be put in that way
or with the outlet and inlet on the right
side.i inatalled it with the bottle orientated
up , and with the inlet hose on left and
outlet on right. the bottle filled up 3/4 of
the wat then stopped , but you could still
here the relay working. so i stopped, and 20
min. later it discharged about 1/2 cup of
water out of the spicket whear you get your
water. now it dispences water in the glass but
the water dosent stop after you release the
switch. the relay kicks off but you continue
to get water for 4 or 5 seconds.
did i hook something up wrong. it dosent
seem to me that up or sideways or inlet and
out would make it do that. my orignal problem
was a leak in the old bottle.

Turn the tank upside down while calling for water to get rid of the air in the tank.

thanks, it was air in the bottle, i just kept rotating the bottle till i got all the air out. works fine now. thanks fred
