10650459903 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

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

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.

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!

Did you know you have to press the button next to the filter before you pull on the filter cap? Like most week end warriors, I just pulled the cap and of course, I broke it! The repair was simple, hopefully, in six months I will remember to press the button!

Remove Water tray. Unscrew 2 Phillips head screws at bottom of unit. The dispenser unit hangs from hooks at top.Remove plug to get front unit out of the way. There are now 4 1/4" hex head screws which holds the entire assembly. 2 smaller Phillips head hold the motor in place.I discovered the only things that can go bad are the Motor unit and the door itself. The motor is joined together with it's own 'transmission'. If door doesn't open or close, rest assured it is this motor/gearbox that is bad. The motor comes with a wire harness which is about 12 inches long. In order to remove and install, the entire dispenser unit must be unscrewed to unroute and reroute this harness. My fridge had a small foam tape which was used to help with the harness run. I had to slice thru this foam to get the harness out. I used a piece of scotch tape to close this foam back after I installed the new motor.

unplug refrigerator, take backing off with nut driver. Pull old blade off and put new blade on. Put backing back on and plug in.
