10648562893 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

Fan was barely rotating. So unplugged, removed back cover, removed fan and motor from frame work. Removed fan blade from motor shaft. Spun motor shaft which seemed fine. Pryed off back cover of motor to find a large but dry felt washer and a helical capillery slot formed into the motor shaft for carring oil from felt washer to the bearings. Added 30 wt motor oil and some 3in1 oil to felt and reassembled motor, fan and frame work. Plugged in power chord after getting rid of dust and dog hear on coils and is working like new.

Removed refrig. door and replaced closing cam and tightened the bottom cam

The extra shelf for my refrigerator door was just right. It immediately allowed me to rearrange my refrigerated items to make much more room. Thank you.

Fridge would stop cooling, get way over temperature. I noticed it would start up again if I tapped near the thermostat. It would run for a while then stop again. Replaced the thermostat exactly as shown in video. Fridge works fine now.

all is fine now. thanks andy

watched the video followed the instructions and the repair took less than 30 mins. thank you parts plus for the video ref now workes properly and saved me a bundle of money

First, removed the top hinge (3 screws), then lifted the door off the bottom hinge. Replaced the Cam on the bottom of the door and then the Cam on the bottom hinge (one screw for each). Placed the door back on the bottom hinge, reinsert the top hinge into the door and secure top hinge to the refrig with the 3 screws original removed. EASY!!

I just simply eliminated the ice buildup with hot water and a knife. But I still have the Defrost Timer Kit for future use.

I did it a bit different from instructions mainly because I disassembled it to troubleshoot before going on line to find part and "easier" instructions.I had a 5" block of wood and cut a shim to use with that to hold the door up. I got on my hands and knees with a mirror and removed the lower hinge plate then the screws holding the upper and lower cams. These both were quite worn so I just took them to my shop and with a hand grinder I rounded off the sharpo corners of the cogs of both cams and then reassemble the hinge plate and cams. This eliminated the loud clicking and the door closed easily but I was afraid it woulod not "Auto Close" when needed so I went online to find this page with the parts needed along with wonderful instructions. I ordered both upper and lower cams which came 2 days later (THANKS). I installed them my way since I did not want to empty the door contents and remove the whole door. I used the block, mirror and nut driver to R&R the bottom hinge plate and both cams. Time was still less than 15 minutes, Easy Fix, Thanks guys! Cheers, Ben

Simple repair that anyone can do. 3 screws held the old one and it was out in 1 minute. Installed the stop from the old one plugged in the wire harness and reattached the new one. No need to cal a repairman for this job. probably saved $100 easy!

followed the informative how-to video available on this site

Watched the video on the Partsselect how to remove and install the icemaker. It made the job real easy to do. It took about 20 minutes to exchange it out. It took me about a extra 30 minutes to remove the water line to the icemaker and install a in-line filter. The water froz up where it pours into the icemaker. Ran some hot water through the line, reinstalled the line and everything works great now for over a week. Just a extra tip always check the water line to make sure Its clear. George Fontana CA

Watched your installation how to video. Applied same procedure. Went smoothly.

First I read your trouble shooting guide and determanded it was the ice maker. Then I watched your repair video which was very helpfull. I ordered the new icemaker, When it arrived I installed per video using only a 1/4 inch nut driver. IT was esay. New ice maker works great.Thank You for the information you have online and the parts and service.

Easy.... Video made replacment very smooth. I only needed one tool a nuy driver.
