10641563801 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

Installed ice machine components using kit and included instructions. Easy! Ran a copper line from under sink valve to back of refrigerator under the floor. Drilled two holes to run copper line. Plumber turned water off and replaced single valve with a double valve (one line to faucet and the other for the copper line). Installed shut off valve and filter at the other end of copper line. Then stainless hose to refrigerator. Everything went smooth. Double check the factory installed plastic line from the electric valve to the inlet for your freezer. Mine was barely inserted and leaked. I pushed it in all the way and it is fine now... Ice maker works really well! Wish I had done this sooner!

I spent several hours defrosting the unit. Making sure the vents were all defrosted and free of ice. The part replacement is fairly straight forward; remove the thermostat, cut two wires, reconnect the wires following color codes, attach to coil and restart. And, "Yippie!". Nothing. Zilch. Zero. Because I could not connect with the online repairman, I spent 40 bucks for nothing; problem was not resolved. Thanks for taking my money. I'm bummed and with just a little less money in my pocket. Never again will I ever purchase another Whirlpool product. Or buy from your outfit again (because of the over priced part). I replaced a 25 year old 'working' General Electric fridge for this junk that sat in the warehouse for four years before this was delivered to me in 2018 and sold to me as a "new" appliance. This was found out only when it crapped out and I needed to have it checked out for repair. Oh yea, I only had the comment section and the part recommendation to go by, and the latest comments are at least two years old. I'll be surprised if this even gets posted.

Much cheaper than buying a whole new fridge. Tenant had broken many parts which some we were able to retrieve from one that had gone bad. Parts are expensive but much less expensive than buying a new fridge. We bought the shelf and the snack pan , took about 10 mins to put together.

Don not completely remove holding icemaker screws. Unit slips over screws and drops down into place and the use nutdriver to tighten in place. Rest of unit was sound and wasn’t replaced.
After icemaker is installed wait for a while and unit self activated and creates ice cubes.

Ice maker fit perfectly over 2 top screws. I tightened them and put the one on the bottom. I was done in less than 10minutes. Everything fit perfectly as expected. Couldn't have been eaiser. Parts Select is my go to online store.

I HAD TO BE CAREFUL...THE SHELF COST ME OVER $200/
iT WAS PACKED SAFELY AND THE GLASS SHELF ARRIVED SAFELY.
REMOVING IT FROM THE PACKING IS NOT TOO DIFFICULT...THE SHELF IS BROAD..

ONCE I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT OUT, I WAS ABLE TO REPLACE IT INTO THE REFRIGERATOR BY SLIDING IT INTO THE FRAME.

I AM NOT A HANDYMAN...BUT THIS WAS EASY.

Romove food and shelves from the door. Remove the 4 screws on the top hinge and higne cover. My door stayed closed but you may need an extra person to hold the door. Lift the door off of the bottom hinge. Replace the parts and re-install. Under 15 minutes total by myself. The door weighs around 20 punds I would guess but again a second person due to the size might be helpful for some.

Take out shelves and back shelf pins and remove long cover. Disconnect wires and take old part out and installed new part. Then reversed and put everything back together. It worked perfect. No more noise

removed freezer shelves, removed back panel with screw driver. removed wires from fan motor, removed fan motor from mounting bracket, removed fan from motor. installed new motor in mounting bracket, installed fan on new motor,installed wiring on new motor. turned power on to check operation, installed rear panel and shelves. total time for job about a half hour

Maintenance completed. Some difficulty.

Used the suggested problem list here to narrow down that the repair was most likely the run capacitor. Poped the new one in and I now have better control of my compartment ranges. I have a temperature gauge in each compartment. Check them every opening of the doors.

Removed the access panel on back of unit located the Run Capacitor on the compressor and removed the bad one and put the new one on and pugged refrigerator back in and it started up and works fine now

Looked up on you tube to verify and see "secrets" to installation.

I just popped out the old switch with a flat head screwdriver. Removed the connections and then installed new switch by reversing steps. Popped in back in and the light went on.

pulled top hinge pin off with 5/16 nut driver ,lifted door off and was able to see both parts and replaced them just like they were,easy fix
