10648562893 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

While removing the old Ice Maker, by looking at the new one, I observed that the old one had Ice frozen in the path of the water flow. After I removed the ice, using a hair dryer, I reassembled the old part and it has worked fine ever since. I have a spare Ice Maker now.

Unscrewed the rear water valve and water line, and front water filter which allowed me to remove the old drip tray. New drip tray is smaller than the original tray, so I needed to put blocking in to keep tray under drip spout. Refastened the water filter, water valve and water line.

This is for the refrigerator, not the freezer door which is more complicated. First empty the refrigerator door of food and removed the shelves. Remove the hinge cover on the top hinge by removing one bolt. Then, holding the door, remove the top hinge by removing the three bolts in the bracket (not the bolt in the recessed hole). Lift the door off the lower hinge and lay the door on its edge on the floor. Pry the old Door Cam out of the hole in the door with a knife (my Door Cam was ground completely flat). Insert the new Door Cam. Remove the old Lower Door Cam from the lower hinge and insert the new Lower Door Cam. Pick up the door and lower the door onto the lower hinge ensuring the lower hinge pin inserts into the hole in the Door Cam on the door. Reinstall the upper hinge and insert bolts without tightening. Align door and then tighten hinge bolts. Reattach top hinge cover and tighten the single bolt. Test the door to ensure it closes and stays closed. I had to remove the door a second time to rotate the Door Cam slightly to ensure cams were better engaged (tongue in groove style) when the door was closed. Reinstall the shelves and load the door with food.

The replacement part (new ice maker unit) orked perfectly fter insstall. The "Part Select" video on how to replace this unit was extremely helpful and actually convinced me to try it myself. I took the old unit out and just reversed the process and installed the new, replacement unit. Worked fine and wroks fine. (Note: it did take a full 24 hours or a little longer to actually start making ice. I think the ater supply drains off and takes a while to get back into the ice maker.)

repair went good .only had problem removing tube from clip in front

After our four year old refrigerator door wouldn't stay closed as a do it yourself kinda gal I found this website that assisted me in an easy and inexpensive fix. The "plastic" yes, "plastic" piece on the bottom of the door was worn down to nothing. My only suggestion is to call in your order, the customer service folks will help you order the right cam for your model. The next thing is to change both cams if you have a side by side. We changed the fridge side which fixed the problem, then realized the cam on the freezer needed to be changed to make it level. Great customer service!

exactly as shown on the video and it was completed in less than 10 minutes with only a nutdriver; took wife to dinner with the money saved and returned to find ice in bin without the "iceberg" from the prior leak! Thanks for the great parts selection, clear description of problems to help select correct fix and most of all the "how-to" video. I'm a customer for life ! WSD

Ordered the part and within 8 minutes I had installed it without having to use any of the included wire harnesses. Was making ice within six hours. If you take your time before, review the handy video PartSelect provides online and prepare the work space it should be a snap. I can't say enough good things about the swift delivery and usefulness of the part. Also, best price I could find after shopping competitors. I highly recommend this project, it was easy and should make using your otherwise working refrigerator more enjoyable.

Watched the 'self-help' video on your website. Loosened the 3 sheetmetal screws,loosened the icemaker, unplugged the single connector and did the reverse order with the new icemaker. Very, very easy.

My Whirlpool refrigerator frezzer was not defrosting and the refrigator was not cooling. I followed the symptom parts advise (Defrost Timer Kit and the Bimetl-Def)of P/S. I pulled out the refrigerator from it inclosure and unpluged it, (note the shelf supports, the thinner ones are on the left side) I remove the shelfs and their supports,I removed the interior back cover of the frezzer, using a hair dryer I melted the frozen ice from the frezzer coile. Once all the ice was melted away, I cut off the old BIMETL-DEF and attacth the new BIMETL-DEF making sure the color wires are match correctly and using electrical connection plugs and electric tape I reconnected the wires. (2) I followed the video instruction for replacing the Defrost Timer Kit I found it to be quite easy to follow. The most deficult part was trying to position my body to remove the screws. I used an old CREDIT CARD to remove the face of the Refrigerator control buttons in order to access the compartment which house the Defrost Timer kit. I removed the old Defrost time kit and replaced it with the new one (following the Video instruction). I replace the frezzer cover inserting the lower four screws then using an old Credit Card I forced the top end of the frezzer cover under its retaing wall. I then replace the remaining two screws. JOB DONE

I looked at the video that part select send. I did exactly what it said to do,and now my refrigerator is working just great. And the noise is gone. I thank you so much for your help. And I'm a 64 year old women thats how easy it was.

Over a period of weeks I watched my fridge grand to a halt. It was...saddening. I felt helpless, there was nothing I could do and I wasn't prepared to pull in a repairman. Upon it's departure from being affective (broke) I made up my mind to purchase a new one!! Flash-forward five minutes n the internet ...motivator by high costs, I altered my thinking and visited You Tube for a fix-it video. After a quick search I came across a clip that took me to the heart of the problem. It was THAT easy. Wow!! I followed the instructions and quickly learned the failure had to do with a small, light weight fan that's role was to pull heat from the condenser--it had ceased to work. While waiting for the part, I let a small fan blow on the condenser to dissipate the heat. The fridge roared to life!! Like a charm!! When the new fan body arrived I placed the blade from the old fan on it and installed it (the fan did not come with bolts and the holes were not threaded) using sheet metal screws. It immediately came started performing again and has been doing a superb job ever since. I easily saved $800 in costs going this route!!

I followed the video instruction to a tee. It's exactly as described. However . . . my old plastic cam was so worn out that it had mushroomed within the inside of the door and would not come out without some "coaxing". And of all times to be unable to locate my needle-nose pliers, this was just plain bad timing. The cam was removed in pieces with the aid of a razor knife and a regular pliers. It took some additional time (approx. 1/2 hr.), but eventually it came out. Once this happened, the rest was a breeze. Moral to the story: Replace the cams on these doors every 5 or 6 years, whether it's needed or not. An ounce of prevention is worth 30 pounds of cure and avoided frustration. And for the few dollars spent on the cam, it just doesn't make sense not to.

I just followed the enclosed instructions

Unplugged it for a day listened to the ice melting on the inside and plug it in again. Decreased the temperature settings and it now seems to work fine. I will save the part in case I ever need it in the future.
