10641263800 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

Followed the instructions on package, went extremely well, with no problems what so ever! Thanks so much for the part and how to do list!

First, unplug the refrigerator. With nut-driver and/or screw driver remove the lower back cardboard panel to access Start device. Use needle nose pliers to remove bracket holding Start Device along with capacitor. Disconnect the wiring connector from Start Device. Carefully, pry Start Device from compressor. Remove capacitor from Start Device. Replace the capacitor to the Start Device. Connect the Start Device with the capacitor to the compressor being mindful of the three male pins. Plug the electrical connector back into the Start Device. Finally, reconnect the bracket. . Reinstall the lower back cardboard panel. Plug in the appliance. Very simple and easy to install. Note: If the compressor and fan do not come on, reset the defrost switch which is located inside the refrigerator side underneath the right side of the refrigerator temperature selector with the flat head screw driver.

Replaced the start relay in about 5 minutes and plugged the fridge in and it started working. Easy repair to get fridge working again.

removed the damaged unit and inserted the replacement.

Openned both doors and removed lower grille. Closed doors and placed a piece of wood underneath door. The piece of wood slightly taller so that it supports and lifts the door while I worked. Working at the bottom of the door removed both upper and lower plastic cams and replaced with new ones. Be sure to tighten the single screw that holds down the plastic cam; if you leave them loose they will split/crack because they will move as you operate the door.

I vacuumed the back and underneath, hoping it will solve the problem, but after about 2 weeks of hoping I succumbed.... finding the proper wrench was the most time consuming. After removing the screws, the face plate removal was the most challenging. You have to pry the top part carefully away (we used a knife), after it just drops down. Used a flat screw driver to loosen the wire harness, after that the rest was less than child's play. We are still in the testing mode, but so far so good. Freezer freezes, ice maker drops the ice cubes (not melting), fridge is humming. Wish us good luck.

I followed the instructions provided on a video that was shown when I went to order the required parts. The video was very well done. It is very accurate.If you fololw the instructions you can make the repain in about 30 minutes. It was very easy

Opened package, opened fridge door snapped new shelf into place, no problem, took less than 1-2 minutes tops.

Easy fix. Used this a teaching opportunity for my 18 yr old son and had him do all the work. The cams have like little inclines that as the meet close the door with like a over center effect. Empty the door. Just undo the top plate 5/16 screws and lift door off. On bottom of door change the 1 piece lower door closing cam and on the bottom post plate change the door cam. add a little grease and reverse the process to install. later in life my son will know how to make this repair.....easy to do folks.

The fix was easy. I jacked up the unit and put on blocks. I used socket and ratchet removed the wheels. Reinstall new ones and let off the blocks.

Removed broken shelf and snapped in new one

Removed/replaced ice maker and valve per enclosed instructions. If you can service your own lawn mower this R&R should be easy for you.

unplug power! Remove the screws from lower panel on back of refrigerator. Lift wire mount out of back panel. Capacitor is mounted directly to the relay and overload switch located on the left side of the compressor. Remove the spring clip holding the capacitor in place and pull the old capacitor out. Plug in new capacitor and replace spring clip. Use vacuum to remove dust from drip pan and wipe fan blades clean. Replace wire into slot on back panel and replace screws. Remove front coil cover below freezer door. vacuum dust off coils and replace cover. Plug refrigerator in and enjoy cold beverages. Relay and overload kit were not required for this repair.

I shut the unit off for about ten hours and when I turned it back on and set the temperatures for the freezer and refrigerator it has been working great.I will keep the part in case it happens again.

Easy and amazed at how fast my order was processed. I received the parts next day. Wow!
