I am trying to replace ice enclosure and I am having problems getting the ice dispenser yoke off of the auger motor. Can anyone help me with this?
VERY difficult, buy the whole assembly
Separating the yoke from the auger motor is a simple task. Remove the four screws that hold the front plate of the gear housing. The front plate with the drive gear, impeller shaft and the yoke, will all come off the gear housing as one unit. You will now need a bench vise or channel grip pliers. Make sure to wrap the bench vise jaws with a rag because you will be using the bench vise to hold the drive gear in place and you don’t want to damage the teeth on this gear. Now you can use a long screw driver that is placed through the yoke to twist off the yoke from the drive shaft. These threads are counter clock wise or reverse threads. I know this response is way late, but I was having the same problem when I came upon this thread. Hope it will save someone else the expense of buying these two parts, that can be easily separated. Before putting the gear case cover back on- redistribute the grease over the moving parts.
My oven thermostat looks just like part #74003267 but mine has 2 switches instead of 1 on the back as well as a longer Cam (to control the additional switch). Magic Chef, Maytag and Whirlpool all tell me the above part # is the one it calls for but I am telling you this is NOT the one. Can anyone please tell me they know what I need?! I have pictures of the one I need if that helps. Thanks so much
Could this be it?

Nice find Denman!!
Although the switch in the rear only has 1 toggle for a connection and mine has 2 I should be able to attach all the wires (2 or 3) to the one treminal don’t you think?
Thank you SO much… well done!

Hopefully someone else will confirm that this is a probable thermostat.
Never hurts to get a second opinion.
Okay here goes. This is about the 4th or 5th time this has happened over 7-9 years. I wake up to what I think is a truck backing up, an incessant beeping noise. No it is just F9 code on my maytag gas oven, again. I have fixed it prior times.
It happens after a power outage usually from lightning storm. So this time I tried to cancel F9. Then the door oven locked.So then I let it (programmed it to) run through a 2 hour clean cycle hoping that the door latch would "retract" after the cylcle completed. No such luck. I have manually opened the door but latch will not retract so door will not shut. F9 displays on pad.
Do you think it is the sensor? How can I get the door latch to retract?
I have done all the regular things like: unplugging, turning power off at breaker. Holding door latch, pushing it in as I press cancel button. Holding door latch and the door "light post" (upper right corner) while pushing cancel button.
I will certainly reconsider the manufacturer after this annual headache.
