10641214100 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

removed insid back and replaced the fan. no tools needed inside. very easy

I spoke with a friend of mine who does refrigeration and he suggested that I check the starter. I pulled it out and read your site to confirm the problem. The starter had loose particles just as your site mentioned. I ordered the part on Wed. afternoon and received it the next morning. When it came I received two different pieces which allowed for a product upgrade if needed. It wasn't and after I put it in it worked great. Freezer to -20 degrees F. Thanks...JT from Lucas, Ohio.

I was a Sears repair man for fourty eight years , so I don"t think I should say how easy this was.

Once I determined easier access to the fan motor, I removed the three fan motor screws that held the motor on place. After removing the motor I remove the fan blade assembly held by one nut and reattached to the new motor. I then reattached the new motor with 3 new screws which were provide and reattached the power cord with the cord clip and began reassembling the icemaker housing, then moved the unit back in place which was installed under counter. I could do this repair in less than 45 minutes now that I have done it once. I saved several hundred $ from the original estimate and the parts were delivered in 2 days after I ordered online. This is definitely a DIY project!!

unplug freg.took everything out.pulled out shelves and pulled out back panel.their was my part i had to replace.

1. Unplug the refrigerator. 2. Remove the back cover at the bottom of the refrigerator. 3. Remove the two screws holding the vertical black bracket the fan is mounted to. This allows the bracket to move easily. The bracket does not have to be removed. 4. Removed the four screws holding the fan bracket to the vertical bracket. 5. Unplug the power connector from the fan motor. 6. Remove the entire fan bracket assembly from the refrigerator. 7. Remove the 4 screws holding the fan motor to the fan motor bracket and unmount the fan motor. 8. Remove the nut holding the fan blade to the fan motor and remove the fan blade. 9. Reverse the process, mounting the fan blade to the new motor, screw the motor to the bracket, screw the bracket to the vertical bracket, screw the vertical bracket to the refrigerator and plug the power connector back into the motor. I did not have to use any of the extra mounting hardware or electrical hardware provided with the kit. It might be a good idea to purchase a new fan blade with the motor kit, the fan blade can get pretty grungy. I cleaned the fan blade with some degreaser before remounting it.

Took the bolts at the bottom of the door off and removed the door. Pried out the old cam and put the new one in. Put the door back on and it works like it is brand new. The fridge is 13+ years old

I read prior postings about how the compressor start relay was the most likely failed part based upon the periodic clicking as well as the rattle when the relay was shaken, with loose metal particles coming out of the original part. I ordered the replacement for next business day delivery and it arrived on schedule. The replacement kit comes with two relays for two different compressor designs. The correct relay is an exact replacement for the original, with the same part numbering. I removed the compressor start capacitor (a small black rectangular box with two metal terminals) from the original relay and installed it on the new part. The replacement kit comes with a black plastic cover, which did not fit since the start capacitor is in the way. I reinstalled the wire hook that secures the relay to the compressor body, and the refrigerator now works great.

true story! ordered the part on sunday by e-mail.by tursday had'nt received it yet.so i called and they had no record of it. so i reordered it on the phone right then. the next day @ noon it came.i had my daughter take a picture of the part on the compressor so that it would be easire to put back together. i had'nt opened the new part yet because i wouldn't be able to retun it if it was opened.i took the old part off the compressor and the new part matched the old part. so i put it on ,it took less than a minute. started the refridgerator and the compressor started running. cooling off just fine and making ice.i am a happy customer!!

got new part it was easy fix thanks

Usednut driver tr remove reardust cover and than a screw driver to snap off cover protecring starter commponents. . Re[placed starter and relay. Replaced covers. . Done. . It was a snap. . My only complaint was the instructions really did not explain fully which part in my package was for my unit. . . I figuered I out by processof elimation,,,

The defrost timer that I ordered form you did the trick. My fridge was
running all the time and the fridge temp was 55 but the freezer was 10
below. The instructions did not say how to test the old one to compare with
the new on. However in the Readers Digest Home Repair book it did and the
test proved that it was defective. Your article said that with the system I
had, 65% on the time it was the timer. I ordered it and thank you it works
just fine. I do have another problem, maybe you can help. The fridge runs
for 6 minuets and stays off for 10 minuets. The temp in the freezer is 0
and the fridge is 35-40 on the warmest settings, but all is well.
Thank you

I did remove the run capacitor of the starthing kit of compressor and another one new. It work fine.

Removed door, removed both upper and lower cam and replaced, applied small amount of vasoline and replaced the door. The entire repair took less than 5 minutes. Door works great. When replacing the cam you need to replace both the upper and lower cam. When you order the parts, the upper cam is on the door schematic and the lower cam is on the refrigerator body schematic. I originally only ordered the upper cam.

All I did was removed the stickers and place it in the frame - no tools required. It fit perfectly and is since it is clear (the original one has a grid pattern in it) I can easily see everything in the drawer below. I will be more careful in cleaning this one - apparently the temperature difference from cool to warm caused it to break, so I will just wipe this one down rather than submerging it in water.
