10648562891 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

I watched the video a few times and pretty much did as it said to do. Took about 20 minutes start to finish. It seems to be working 100%.

I checked to see if the compressor was running and it was not. I check the defrost fan and the compressor fan and they both were running. All lights were on inside the refrigerator. I then checked the compressor connection and using the multimeter I check for voltage on the two wires going to the compressor and I had 120VAC on the terminals. I then removed the start relay off the compressor as well as the overload relay. I then check the OHMS reading on the compressor terminals and I had good readings. I shook the relay and it was rattling. At this point I search on the internet for the start relay and ordered the parts. Received the part in two working days. Replaced the components and bingo everything started working. It took me more time to troubleshoot the problem than it took to replace the parts. Vernon

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.

The instructions on line suggested I buy a lower door closing cam and a thimble top which I did. When I went to install I noticed that the door hinge with cam was also warn down. I had to again place an order and again remove the door to install. I would suggest those having this problem that they look at the hinge with cam also before ordering.

Removed the refrigerator door (after taking everything out of the shelves). Took the old Lower Door Closing Cam off (it was totally worn down), installed the new one, rehung the door. Rehanging the door took a couple of tries to get it properly aligned. Very easy fix, We thought we had to replace the refrigerator since it is 14 years old, but this fixed the problem completely!

remove contents of door-----------hardest part of chore remove top hinge cover remove three top hinge screws remove door and lay on table remove two screws holding black plastic cam piece in door, remove black plastic piece (slightly held in by some type of mastic) just pull till it comes our insert new piece, insert two screws lubricate parts mount door on hinge pin insert tip hinge pin and plate and fasten with three screws attach cover............reload refrigerator door taking opportunity to throw out old bottles and mystery jars Finis

1. Unplug the electric plug. 2 Either be in a well lighted place or get a flashlite. 3. Remove all food from top shelf. 4. Remove the knobs from both controls by pulling on them or use pliers to grab the center and pull. 5. Use the thin bladed knife and gently slip the knife under the thin plastic panel that covers the two controls and pop it off. 6.Go in back of the control panel and remove the two hex headed screws that holds the panel onto the roof of the refrigerator.7. Locate the right hand control, and use a philips screw driver to remove two philips screws that hold the temperature control body in place. and remove the wires from the terminals by pulling them with a long nose pliers.8. Locate the white panels that cover the thermostat sensor and remove the screws holding them onto the frig body. slip the long thin tube out of the plastic piece it is formed to fit.9.Draw on paper the shape and measure the deminsions,of the long thin tube. Straighten out the tube and remove the plastic covering it. Now slip that tubing over the new piece.10. Form the tubing into the odd shaped holder and gently place all of the new asssembly against the frig wall and cover with the two white panels that you removed to get to the long sensor tube. 11. Reassemble the controls in the same order you took it apart. Plug the frig back in to the electricity and set the control on 5 and it should run. Watch for a period to hear the unit cycle on and off. You are a genius and have saved at least 150 dollars.

When my thermostat was shipped the email contained a step by step video. I just watched the video and installed it.

un-plug the power cord. remove both control knobs. pry off the cover. remove 1 screw on the right and left with the nut driver. remove two screws in back with the nut driver. remove the screw holding thermostat in place, loosen screw holding the left side of the l plate. lift thermostat up and remove two nut driver screws. remove the temperature sensing line from holding device. Remove cover down the side of refrigerator and the cover over the sensor (in back corner) carefully remove the sensor line. Carefully bend the sensor tube into the shape of the removed part(do not kink)install the new part in the reverse order of removing.. Use flat blade screw driver to press sensor line into the snaps. This was one of the easiest repairs I have ever completed.

Exactly how the instructional video described it to be. No surprises what so ever. Ended up not being the culprit to my problem. Ordered and installed a bi-metal defrost timer. Also, extremely easy as the instructional video described it to be. Partselect is an awesome resource for knowledge and quality products with very reasonable prices.

simply replace the compressor start and delay

Followed the video, very helpful! Basically a walk in the park.

Unplugged Refer...Cleared top shelf...removed screws/covers to expose thermostate and capilary tube...removed old thermostate takeing care to notice how Capilary tube was routed and electrical connection were made (wire color coding)...removed sheath on old capilary tube and installed on new, always making sure to not "kink" tubing...installed new part just as the old one was...plugged refer back in and enjoyed trouble free operation.

Heard double clicking sound every couple minutes. Unplugged unit then using a coil brush, cleaned all dirt, lint, everything from bottom of fridge. Finished with vacuum cleaner. Located start relay. It was on the left side of the compressor. Pulled relay straight off of compressor, much like a plug from a wall. Unhooked two wires from relay. No need to disassemble old relay. Parts received from partselect.com go back onto compressor individually. Using the instructions provided, from the kit, select the correct parts for your unit and carefully attach them to the compressor. Plug in the wire to the relay, then following the instructions, attach the jumper wire and plug into the relay. The cover in the kit is a little tricky to put on but it will fit. Took me about 15 mins and the hardest part was getting the old part off. Plugged unit back in and it started right up. 24 hrs later, everything is working great!

Received the part the day after ordering. Appreciated the quick service and repair took less than a minute.
